"Videogames, the single form of entertainment that has offered full control over the characters seen within the world in which the story of the game is set. Whether it has been a movie-based game or vice-versa, there are plenty of examples that reflect this distinct characteristic executed both poorly and perfectly. However, as the years have demonstrated, it isn't always the officially licensed games that succeed in closely replicating the events of a popular film..."
After a rough start to 2025 with Brave New World, Marvel hopes to strike back with Thunderbolts. Featuring a ragtag group of misfits from previous MCU movies and a new character that’s insanely powerful, Thunderbolts tells the story of damaged people overcoming their trauma to become heroes. RPadTV host Raymond Padilla is joined by videogame industry veterans Paul Semel and Marcus Beer to discuss the movie and see if it lives up to its comic-book tagline of “Justice, Like Lightning.”
The three will discuss what they liked and didn’t like about Thunderbolts, including their favorite performances and scenes, as well as what could have been improved. Early reviews of the movie have been strong and RPadTV’s version of Thunderbolts (The Sparklers?!?) can’t wait to talk about the latest MCU movie with you.
Deeply disappointed that no one yelled, "Thunder! Thunder! Thunderbolts, ho!"
Good conversation otherwise, though.
The director of the new Evil Dead film wants to leave audiences physically exhausted.
Those pesky log trucks return in Final Destination Bloodlines.
Enjoyable read. Some standout movie, or just movie moments, brought over to great games in nuanced ways.
"Released in 2008, Rockstar Games' Grand Theft auto: IV received mixed reviews; with the media praising it for everything and smaller reviewers being disappointed with the release..."
I'm going to say BS on the "mixed reviews" part. Even IF most smaller reviewers were disappointed with it (to what degree isn't even specified) doesn't mean the likes of 5's, 6's, or even 7's (we're talking about game reviewers after all) were being tossed around.
And let's hope your ammo for "smaller reviewers" is the dregs of the internet that jump onto every metacritic user score.
