Uhhh this is not the first successful adaptation. What the successful ones prove are that it’s possible when you don’t just make a cheap rip for the money.

As for previous adaptations, The Last of Us; Arcane; Resident Evil (how many movies did that series sell again?)

Arcane is not a video game adaptation lol. It’s a story that’s nowhere ingame except for like two one-line voice lines.

I mean you can almost say that about fallout though too can’t you? There both an adaptation of the world and lore than any specific story

Well, the first 2 resident evil movies sure. And tomb raider and silent hill and the first mortal kombat. Other than those… How many actually good adaptations are there? But that only further proves your point. Adaptations can work, but only if the people making them give a fuck, and that’s RARE.

Apparently the Kirby cartoon was also really good.
