Topic	Prediction: Next decade will see video game movies as the new big thing
Johnbobb 03/10/20 12:27:25 AM #1:	Hear me out So let's look at how comic book movies ended up developing The golden age of comics was around the late 40s, I'll just round to 1950. It took ~40 years until the 1990s for comic book movies to really be a thing, and the ones that existed weren't really taken all that seriously. It took until the 2000s for comic book movies to really show a real effort and payoff, with franchises like Spider-Man, X-Men, and the Nolan Batman trilogy. It took until the 2010s for the MCU to show up and make comic book movies the biggest trend in blockbuster filmmaking of the decade. Ok, so let's look at games by comparison. Golden age for games was probably around 1980? So while there were a few vg movies in the 90s, it was the 2000s when they really started showing up regularly despite generally not being great, so we can compare that to the 90s for comic movies. That puts the progression for vg movies about twice as fast as comic movies. That's where it gets tougher though, because they've been around for ~20 years without really improving in quality until just recently, where movies like Rampage, Tomb Raider, Pokemon: Detective Pikachu and Sonic the Hedgehog (while all pretty flawed) have started to pull out of the "pure garbage" territory that many vg movies end up. I feel like what comic movies had in the 2000s, vg movies will have in the 2020s. One movie will come along here soon as the "X-Men" of vg movies, which is considered both critically AND commericially successful, with many others quickly following suit. By the time 2030 hits, we'll have had a few successful series. Pokemon and Sonic seem like decent possibilities for this, assuming they continue to build off the first (I mean, X-Men, Spider-Man and Nolan Batman all really had their best entries as their 2nd movie). The 2030s will see the emergence of the MCU of vg game movies; both the quantity AND quality of the films will rise significantly, with shitty vg movies being the exception rather than the norm. They'll consistently become the most profitable movies each year, and directors like Christopher Nolan and David Fincher will come out saying how they're not real films. --- Khal Kirby, warlord of the Super Star Khalasar PSN/Steam: CheddarBBQ https://goo.gl/Diw2hs <cite>Johnbobb posted [p:935467184] in Prediction...
