    At this point, I just can't wait till everyone's completely forgotten this thing even exists. I can no longer stand seeing it show up in my yt feed. Imagine making a movie based on a BELOVED video game ip, but instead of making it for ACTUAL FANS of that ip, you try to make it for everyone OTHER than those fans, and then fail MISERABLY and that, too.

    As someone who is involved in the scenes. I will say that Craig Mazin actually wrote a very good screenplay for Borderlands probably about 5 years ago at this point. As I recall, it was right after his Chernobyl release. It was much darker in tone but still had a comedic element to it like the game. It was written as it was going to be Rated R.
    Lionsgate/Producers fired the previous writing team and bought his script around the same time they hired Roth. Mazin was tied up with The Last of Us project since both projects went into production at the same time, but he was still willing to work on the script.
    That did not happen. Roth basically took his script, rewrote basically all of it, and never reached out. I don't if that was the directors or producers fault. That's why he went under a pseudonym for film.

    In borderlands three due to the passage of time the aged up tiny Tina just called her Tina due to nearing her late teens and Tannis made the shocking reveal after defeating pain and terror that she became an siren that she secretly hidden from years.
    How she became one is when angel passed her powers on to Tannis due to the lore once a siren dies they have to pick an suiter to be the next one.
    Because six siren’s can exist at the same time the reason why Troy calypso was the only male siren due to him and his sister Tyreen was born conjoined but was successfully separated in order for his survival he needs Tyreen to share her powers.
    Lastly later became independent after sucking siren powers from Maya however after promising that Ava to become one after her in which it was fulfilled later on after Troy met his end that Ava took his powers and became a siren herself.

      I think people are expecting video game adaptations to be of quality like Fallout. This film was apparently sitting on a shelf for a couple years because they knew it was so bad. There's no excuse for Borderlands to be so terrible at the end of the day. Fans and audiences deserve better.

    I enjoyed it but somehow I knew something was off. Especially the casting. By the time it was over, everyone around me hated it.

    Apparently this also went through extensive reshoots as well. Craig Mazin took his name off the project in place of a pseudonym (Joe Crombie), which Craig has said is not his pseudonym. Eli Roth was busy doing the Thanksgiving slasher film for Sony, So Lionsgate brought in Tim Miller to direct the reshoots. I never played the games, but this just sounds like a towering jenga of messiness. Also the CEO of Gearbox (Randy Pitchford) has previously refused an idea for an animated Borderlands series. Saying it wouldn't work. Well, what do you think of this then, Randy? 😅

    I think they should have just continued the story from 3 with new characters that fit the roles they were trying to portray instead of using legacy characters if they didn't want them to be accurate to who they were representing. Every other game has you playing as new vault hunters anyway so they could have just made there own thing and it wouldnt have bothered anyone.They chose to do this movie in the worst possible way.

    This makes me wanna go back, maybe play the games, or watch lore videos on it, but all the negativity definitely makes me not wanna watch the movie.
    I love film, but some should be cut back to bottom of the barrel, to only be watched alongside Samurai Cop or Cruel Jaws.
