I don't have a hateboner for her so sign me up for that 50m.

Also I don't even know what my favorite video game character is, if I have one, so it'll be a learning experience.

If we are limiting it to games i played for the first time in the past year.. it could end up kinda funny. American with a welsh accent sounds like it could end up funny.

I'm a 90's kid. I'm used to movies based off my favorite games being dog shit, I can handle one more easily in return for $50M.

Also this. Really can't decide who that'd even be.
Link?
Shulk (Xenoblade 1)?
Bayonetta?
Guillo (Baten Kaitos Origins)?
Nene (Samurai Warriors)?

Don't think any of them really stand out that much above the others or any of a number of others I didn't name.

I've seen my favorite characters (video game and otherwise) butchered many a time. She can do no worse than what I've already been through, and might even be one of the best portrayals, for all I know.

Also, I don't even watch movies and shows all that often anymore, so this is an easy yes.

Obviously taking the money. Why would I turn down $50m because of that? It wouldn't bother me even if I wasn't getting paid an absurd amount of money for it.

Not sure who my favorite character is, so I just thought of Samus.

*Googles who this actor or whoever is*

Her hair seems to be mostly the right color. I'm sure people will complain no matter who would play Samus in a Metroid movie. And will complain about the movie regardless of how it is produced and set up. Frankly to be any good in movie format, Samus will need to be working together with a team, perhaps including other hunters and federation forces, and the ship AI she has in Fusion and beyond. But this also would make it feel less "metroidy."

I probably wouldn't see the movie regardless of who is playing who though. I don't watch live action stuff in theatres, and watch relatively little live action stuff in general unless you count video game streamers like CarlSagen42 (a youtuber and twitch streamer who plays troll levels).

So yeah, zero downsides for me.

Has Brie Larson always had this controversy around her or is it just the Marvel curse doing its thing?

Anyway, Samus like others have said.

It was around for the first Captain Marvel movie. She said she wanted her press days to be more than just talking to white guys and therefore to make her press days more inclusive. Not that she wasn't going to talk to white guys, just making sure other faces and voices weren't left out... all the same, nazi man-children flipped their shit like they always do in these situations and shouted that she declared war on all white men, and tried to go all cancel culture on her.

Came here to say the exact opposite.

Genderswap MC and Cortana and have the VA of game Chief do movie Cortana's voice. I'd watch that.
