Yeah, Men was weird as shyt. I wasn't really feeling Annihilation or Civil War either, but did like Ex Machina and Warfare. I can totally see his style translating to Elden Ring, just think people will expect something big budget and epic, and I doubt we'll get that.

I loved civil war, and I liked Annihilation more for the visuals but it was still enjoyable….

but yeah, I agree it’s not gonna be some big epic blockbuster thing. Its gonna be a weird ass vibes movie

it’s clear that A24 has a better understanding of who should direct these type of movies than the average person. Garland is perfect for this because his movies be general outlines anyway. Elden Ring is a glossary, it doesn’t have a set plot or outline like something like Zelda for instance.

Now if he’ll actually do a good job or not remains to be seen, but on paper is a great hire. I would’ve probably gone the TV show route and got a smaller but more passionate director, and a writer’s room. Who knows what their plans are for it as a franchise though, could be a one and done.

Watch him turn it into a story about how men are violent, evil, and stupid except for the female characters.

I usually cringe at people who make fun of male feminists, but this guy LOVES making female characters the only "good" people in his movies and TV shows and he loves killing men off too.

He should adapt Bloodborne rather than ER
