Tomb Raider (Reboot)

You are joking! HOW????!!!!!

Have you heard of Spiderman? 😁

How would it be more suited to a TV show? You could spend more time showing the likes of the Colonel, Mei Ling, Naomi etc, build up the history of Foxhound and give background info to the events of Big Boss, Outer Heaven and Zanzibarland (which was pretty confusing first time playing the game), and give more time to action scenes and the boss battles.

There is a lot in the first game to try squeeze into a 2.5-3 hour movie, and a lot of things that if they took their time with they could really expand upon. And that's just the first game. If it was successful, a season 2 where they do MGS2 would have so potential for a TV season where you could do the tanker section, plus show both Raiden and Plisken's journey through Big Shell.

Again, I'd be concerned that Tomb Raider is too thin to be spread across a TV series, whereas MGS actually has so much content that trying to condense it into a movie means you could lose or greatly diminish so much of the history and background that it ends up a mess.

A direct translation of the story wouldn't work, especially since so many story beats are predicated on things you can only experience or are hidden in gameplay. But I think the MGS story has a decent enough base to build off. It'd need a decent writer though who understands what made the original story great, but can actually make it decent enough that it'd work as a show/movie.

Tomb Raider and Resident Evil are far more generic stories.

Oh, it's batshit crazy (as is the creator, Hideo Kojima.... But not enough to murder Japanese ex-PM) and, if you wanted to basically just take the general premise then you could quite easily adapt. But, in taking out the lunacy, you have a very bland IP.

I never played the Resident Evil games, they just didn't interest me, so I won't comment. And, cards on table, I only ever dabbled in Metal Gear but was enough to know that, yeah, I have no idea what's going on.

I mean, apparently the Uncharted movie is pretty ok (Tom Holland's youth being the biggest issue) because they basically just took the character names.

Of course there is that Halo series but again, I haven't played many of the halo games. Certainly not enough to know anything about the lore.

Tldr: faithful adaptations of genes or any long-form media like books, IMHO are more suited to TV

Each episode can be him hiding under a different box.
