Dante's Inferno
Johnny C:
Wanna play a game that sets itself up as a God of War clone but actually winds up strongly reflecting the themes, tone and narrative of Inferno in a sudden reversal of expectations
Ozymandias:
Well, I mean, it looks like Beatrice is in the game to me, so that's...a...thing?
Look, dudes, let's face it. The Divine Comedy is badass. It really is. Both in imagery and just the sheer fact that Dante Aligheri was a dude who was like "fuck you guys, I'm going to invent the entire afterlife, use it as a narrative to explore the sins and redemption of man, to mack on a lady, to hate on my enemies, and do it all in the vernacular, in sharp contrast to the rest of you fucks who dig on Latin"
I think the fact that this is the first game based on it is nothing short of mindblowing to me.
Johnny C:
yeah but the thing is that the only sharp thing dante aligheri took to hell was his wits

--- Quote ---Dante's Inferno was a poem. Now it's not only a game, but a movie as well, with the movie based not on the poem, but on the game based on the poem.
Sigh.
Anyway, this movie now has a writer. And that writer is...Mr. Dan Harris. Who aside from writing comics for both Marvel & DC also co-wrote X-Men 2 and...Superman Returns. Which means, at the very least, he's got a track record! Even if that track record involves taking otherwise sound franchises and making boring movies out of them.

Hey X-Men 2 was the best X-Men.
and Superman had to be boring as you can't turn lead into gold.
Ozymandias:
Yeah, X2 rocks and you can't blame anyone for a crappy Superman.
