Helldivers movie
Are you excited for it coming out? Will you go to the cinema to see it? Does Sony deserve your custom, or do you think people will boycott it over the blocked regions where people can't play the game which spawned the movie? Interesting to see if they just do bugs, and make it basically a new Starship Troopers, or somehow manage to get a ST/Terminator/War of The Worlds all in one film if they use all 3 factions. Also if it'll be fully animated or live action with CGI.

I imagine like with Starship Troopers there will be arguments between the 'woke/antiwoke' camps deciding whether the political satire present in Helldivers is anti/pro statism/fascism/authoritarian etc and getting all mad about it before it even releases. Sony will have to tread carefully there since people are very politically polarised these days.

I'd imagine that if they go for all 3 factions, the plot will follow 3 separate Helldiver squads rather than one squad deployed to fight each faction. We may even see Super Earth and what life is like there compared to the frontier.

Maybe we'll even see the legendary John Helldiver...

An anthology movie could work though, something like "Love Death Robots" within the Helldiver universe - no need for established characters and needing to keep them alive outside of their stories.

Then there is the obvious question about social political themes being included, and that's where it will be up to Sony - Not including any lecturing / forced discussion would of course be preferable but they also hyped stuff like Concord or this new "Prophet of something" sci-fi game from Naughty Dog

To be expected considering their last tv appearance.

Same as with other movies, wait for others to see it first then check what regular people think about it and then make my decision.

Professional critics can go jump in a lake except maybe Critical Drinker and a select few others.

If you want a Helldivers movie just watch Starship Troopers it technically is Part 1 against the Bugs and Terminator 2 is Part 2 against the Bots.

The squids errr pick something from Star Wars I'm sure they have it

I think the Japanese have a much better handle on squid cinematography.
