The “Wait, there are automatic weapons in that video game?” MONSTER HUNTER trailer.

Apparently, there are not. Automatic weapons in the Monster Hunter video game franchise, I mean. The movie apparently decided that this was absolute bull[expletive deleted] and what viewers would really want to see is an Army Gurrrl shooting a LAW at a dragon.

[pause]

Okay, when I write it out like that…

More seriously? Sure, it’s not respectful of the original intellectual property, as my wife would say. Counterpoint: virtually no video game movie ever* shows respect for the original intellectual property. So what’s one more outrage? I dunno, maybe you could pretend it’s a mod or something?

*Detective Pikachu and the Sonic the Hedgehog flick weren’t bad.
