Edit: i am well aware that Iron lung was a financial success lol. This is not meant to be taken seriously and is intentionally absurd

    It actually made about $17.8 million domestically and $21.7 million worldwide. So on opening weekend it has already made seven times the cost of making the film.

    I don’t watch YouTubers and know nothing about Markiplier except memes, but it’s good to see successful independent film of any sort. Congratulations to those who take chances.

      If there’s anyone that deserves it, it’s Mark. He’s easily one of the most genuine and down-to-earth creators on the platform, and it’s awesome to see his filmmaking goals finally come to fruition.

        Its so heart warming to see someone that won’t just drink his own piss, he’ll drink his friends as well.

    I watched it, actually pretty good, the first adaptation ofa video game I’ve seen that’s any good, and it was an itch io game

      There have been a handful of game adaptations that are good, some of the ones that come to mind are the Sonic movies and the Fallout show. Detective Pikachu and the Mario movie were also pretty good, but I know some people have issues with them

                I actually hated the Hector plotline, but that’s just because I was expecting the angry and reluctant asskicker Hector from Curse of Darkness. Instead, we got an autistic-coded soft bean whose primary motivation for devil forging was “humans are mean and scary so I’ll just make my own friends instead.”

                I liked the new Isaac, but he was certainly a different kind of villain. The original was engaging when you first met him… But the interest quickly waned when you realized he was just an absurdist psychopath who missed the violence, and there wasn’t really any deeper motivation behind his actions. He was pretty much exactly what you expected when you first met him. The new Isaac was more brooding, but that meant there was room for the writers to explore his motivations.
