  • The audience reactions of gasps, laughter, and tears made the experience infectious and powerful.
ADVICE

Prioritize Story, Not Fans

  • Focus on servicing the story rather than fan service when adapting games to TV or film.
  • This approach creates a better product that resonates beyond just pleasing existing fans.
INSIGHT

Story without Gameplay Challenge

  • The key challenge in game-to-movie adaptations is making the story compelling without the interactive video game element.
  • Success depends on whether the narrative can stand strong independently from gameplay mechanics.
