This is a metaphor, a Christian allegory. The fact that I have to explain to you that Jesus is the Warthog, and the Banana is drepanocytosis is just embarrassing for you.

Any Dark Souls movie has to smash cut to credits at the climax, the protagonist having been assassinated by a giantdad out of nowhere

If to live in this style is to be eccentric, it must be confessed that there is something good in eccentricity.

I thought about Dark Souls when I was writing the OP, but the movie would have to be immensely cryptic and they'd have to attach item cards to all the concessions, which you'd have to read to know what's going on or why, but even then you're not sure.

The movie ends when the protagonist falls of a random ledge on accident.

I suspect because it's so insanely lucrative that the money they'd get from a studio for the rights isn't worth the risk of them loving it up and messing up the brand somehow. Or that they'd demand so much control over the film for that reason that they can't come to an agreement with a studio

I really don't blame publishers for not wanting to risk the former given Hollywood's obvious utter contempt for video games.

Whatever the hell happens in Free Guy
I gotta type it out now

In Free Guy, a pair of indie devs quit and went to work for some jackass company like Activision on an open sandbox MMO where people rob banks and kill each other, and for some reason they coincidentally stole the indie devs' code from a previous AI life sim game to make their NPCs easier to code, which makes no sense, then something random causes hidden AI code to activate in an NPC. It turns out that the indie dev who left had a crush on the other and based some of the NPC's personality on her, so randomly meeting her in the game was the activator, which still makes no sense. Anyway, she was hacking into the game and trying to go into an area where for some reason proof of the corporate crimes is for no good reason digitally housed and protected by level 99 bad guys. The NPC who inherited his dev's crush levels up while being the only person in the history of the game who does it through only good deeds to try to meet her. While doing this, he spreads the activation of AI code to all the world's NPCs like a virus. Then all three protagonists figure out what's going on and team up to take down the CEO, who gets out of legal trouble by holding the AIs hostage until they agree to let him keep the rights to his game, and he only gets his comeuppance through the sequel being bad enough to destroy the company

I've long been thinking about a Pacman movie where Robert DeNiro plays agent Paco Manilow (PacMan) who is kidnapped by crime lord The Ghost and injected with a slow working poison. He escapes into a maze with pills lining the corridors, and has to eat them all to find the single one that contains the antidote. But the Ghost's henchmen are at his tail...

For years I've been surprised they haven't done a Sims movie yet. It's a game with recognition and appeal to a wide range of demographics. Just steal from Toy Story/ Truman Show / Lego Movie / Whatever the hell happens in Free Guy, and throw in some SNL members and you got at least a moderate success.

Would watch only if they perform the whole film in Simlish and subtitle it.

Activision announced they were opening a studio for movies and TV in 2015, but nothing ever materialized. I know these things can take time, but there hasn't been a peep from that since then, so I suspect it's dead. Especially with the (probably DOA) Microsoft merger.

I think the merger's still going, if slow. People are making noises about antitrust but there's no real way that makes sense.

The latest news is that the FTC is looking to block the merger.

I imagine it's typical Hollywood bullshit about money and creative control. It's what killed the Halo movie that was supposed to happen in 2007 because Microsoft wasn't willing to play ball with Hollywood (which you kind of have to do). Then funny enough we got that streaming series.
