(I'm aware the Witcher was originally a book series, and the TV show is more or less an adaptation of those. So it might've been a little misleading to include it here.)

Just a few years ago, video game adaptations were the laughingstocks of the film world and were basically unheard of on TV. More recently, though, we've seen success stories like Five Nights and Freddy's, Mario, Arcane, The Witcher, Castlevania, Sonic, and The Last of Us. Not all of these movies and shows are amazing and some might rely too heavily on fanservice, but it's clear that some things have changed in the video game adaptation landscape and I want to talk about that.
