That halo tv show was so ass. I sucked it up and finished season one, but when season 2 dropped, I gave 0 fucks. I still haven't watched it to this day. The fact they had insurgents with fucking AK 47s and not any halo lore weaponry was so goddamn stupid. Chief taking off his helmet in episode 1, nothing being cannon, the show was a fucking disaster.

warcraft was a missed opportunity. they should have made two movies. one from each sides perspective(just like the game)

I also enjoyed the Warcraft movie. it was a perfect introduction to the franchise. I remember at the time of release people were miffed because it wasn't WORLD of Warcraft. But still the locales and characters still looked fairly spot on if you only played WoW and not the previous games.

As for Halo. man that show was such a bait and switch. The opening to the first episode with the Spartans and the Master Chief was great annnnnnnd that's about it.

First off, nothing will beat red vs blue for Halo-verse content.

The only way I see an Elder Scrolls screen adaptation being even remotely well received by fans is if they follow the DnD: Honor Amongst Thieves/ Masters of the Universe movies, and Fallout show’s structures, where they didn’t take themselves too seriously and leaned into the cheesiness/abstract nature of those franchises.

Amazon’s MGM has had some bangers, and Paramount and Hasbro have had commercial success with Transformers, even if their flops have been more well received by fans than the movies and shows that were commercially successful.

I just don’t see Microsoft doing well with any of their licensed franchises without an established studio to produce it… feels like they’ll probably pivot to an AI slop studio to churn out some bullshit that takes itself too seriously if they actually plan on turning any of these into fruition.
