Video Games Are Actually Good For You
Whenever a beloved video game property gets announced as a new television or film adaptation, someone always brings up the “stigma” of video games being brought to a different screen. It’s true how some unfortunate efforts have given video game movies a bad name — from House of the Dead to Postal to Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li — and critics seem to grade these adaptations by harsher standards. First to market was 1993’s fantastically bold live-action Super Mario Bros. which has since garnered a cult following, although it was met with vitriol that poisoned the discourse forever surrounding video game adaptations. There have been well over 50+ video game adaptations since Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo fought Dennis Hopper’s King Koopa, yet headlines are still asking, in our year of 2023, if The Last of Us will “break the video game adaptation curse” or finally “rid an awful stigma” — even though any curse or stigma has been vanquished long ago.
