roland has been retconned so many times...

in b1 he's voiced by a happy rapper dude (CRITICAL HIT!!! AH TEECEE TEH VEHECLE!!!)

in b2 he's voiced by a super serious soldier general that calls everything soldier. while all his rapper mannerism is transferred to tina forever.

in borderlands movie, he's short, voiced by a funny actor, but he also has to play the role of the most serious general ever once again.

Every character was retconned in 2 mate. Brick was not a funny character in 1, Lilith had no crush on Roland neither was she anxious, and Mordecai was not alcoholic.

Borderlands 1 had little to not writting, and in 2 they hire a real writer.

yea b2 give so much more personality developments to b1 hunters. brick is more funny and less brutish in b2 (which is kinda a shame imo), but roland seems to change the most throughout the series (if we include the movie) compared to other b1 hunters.

b2 tinafied roland : fo shizzles.

we haven't even talked about the possible existence of zombie roland hanging out with zombie tk baha

And right now Borderland's employees are on Twitter attacking their own customers for being against Sweet Baby Inc. Just boycott the movie and all Borderland's products going forward.

Being that they dont own the movie, why?

If your neighbor does something and so i take a brick and bash your teeth out the back of Your skull, does that make any logical sense?

Are there even any "Borderlands Employees" anymore?

Movie has been in the works for 9 years, by people who are not gearbox

That is untrue, in BL1 Brick is extremely comical.
As i am the one playing him, he is what ever i make him, which is hysterical.

Terribly bad at his skills, but hysterical.

It's a silly tempest-in-a-teapot.

Oh ... gosh ... there was a [different gender][different race] person in your game with a [different sexuality than you have] ... oh ... gosh ... how horrible for you.

Woke isn't a real thing. It's just culture-war bull$#!+ meant to distract voters from more serious issues.

I would almost (only almost) be actually willing to look at twitter just to see the silliness.

I do not have to include a bi trans-gendered woman, who identifies as male, on alternate Wednesdays, is paraplegic and insists they are a person of color even though there has been no melanin in their family line for 7,000 years.

Because
It's my game and the topic just didn't come up in my story.
And they are not obligated to buy it, and are free to design a game all built around the topic if they want, i wont mind at all.

If they come screaming at me over it though, they are not going to like the responses they get, and if their feelings are hurt, seems like a self inflicted wound to me?

And then i'm taking a nap.
Because nap culture is real :)

i don't know what you mean. in b1 intro marcus says brick's breath smells like blood, and almost every voices that b1 brick make sounds like a very brutish grizzly throat killer that want to punch everything into bloody mist mess (kill.... KIIIILLLLL!!!!), compared to b2 and post b2 brick where he sounds more like some kind of a jolly drummer rapper dude trying badly to sound like a scary thug. (HEEEYYYY SLAAAB~)

though i do agree that his melee skill kinda sucks and the way he screams all the time when he activates his skill is kinda funny and irritating simultaneously.

brings back the memories of krieg screaming poetic words too much when he activates his reflect fireball ulti until gearbox nerf his scream consistency to the displeasure of some krieg fans.

anyway, i wonder what kind of roland the movie will go with... the actor is funny and short, but the only funny roland is b1 rapper roland, with b2 and comic+books roland being mostly serious leader with occasional unintentionaly funny moments told through roland's blunt flat delivery.

maybe they're trying to turn movie roland into midget roland. i dunno.

and gearbox had already dived and embraced sbi wokey trends since b3 era. b2 era gearbox only just started dipping their toes lightly into that cesspool so in b2 era the fandom and devs are more chill compared to b3+ era. so its old late news at this point if anyone talks about gearbox going wokey.

oh, ok. so you reject canon completely in certain parts, and just make and enjoy your own headcanons.

i understand, i pretend b3 story never existed. gearbox doesn't seem to care much for lore consistency anyways. and the switch swatching of old staff with new staff plus corporate culture agendas and greed murking everything doesn't really help too.

Only the parts i play
Because i am the one playing them

I don't know why they decided to base the plot off of the first game which was both the shortest and least plot heavy out of all of them. I also don't know why they decided to replace brick and mordecai with krieg and tiny tina (I guess because people like them?)

If they really wanted to make a movie with a focus on plot that featured characters from both BL1 and BL2 they should've just made a movie that took place between BL1 and BL2 (After the events of TPS, hell nobody would blame them for just pretending TPS didn't happen), show the fall of new haven, how the BL1 group split up, show some of the backstories of the BL2 crew before they took that train ride, you could actually show wilhelm being an absolute menace and tearing through everything and go into how Jack masterminded the events of the first game, it doesn't need to be all this exactly but there's a lot of room to do stuff in that gap and if they clearly wanted to have elements from both BL1 and BL2 this would have been the best way to do it.

I'm not even get into the casting, it feels like every choice they made was completely ass backwards (except for maybe krieg and tiny tina, the two characters that shouldn't even be here.) The casting reminds me of that one mario movie copypasta where every decision is comedically wrong, it's like that but real.
