@MHCaboose you really don't need to go anywhere past this and the 10 second footage. There is already a clear lack of respect to the lore and the world created and contained within the games. We don't need a trailer to know that it will be terrible because of the few things we have already seen/know:

A. Paul W.S. Anderson who is a terrible director who makes terrible films (and although that is subjective what is fact is that his Resident Evil films deviated greatly from and bastardized the source material).

B. A Monster Hunter film that will have our modern day Earth as a setting when in no way, shape, or form do ANY of the games hint that the MH world can be connected to ours. That's just lazy writing. Their thinking is probably "Why go out of the way to create a believable and cohesive adaptation of the MH world on-screen when we can just film at any random mall or parking lot?"

C. A Monster Hunter film that is already bastardizing and completely taking on its own individual representation of the series' most iconic monster: Rathalos! Rathalos is the face of the series and has been for over a decade and now just because Anderson and the "creative" team behind the film say so, they are changing it completely. Why is CAPCOM ok with this?!

D. A director who hardly seems to understand the world of the games. The MH world is not "desert-like." If anything the first map the hunter encounters in the first game is the Verdant Hills which is very much NOT a desert. This guy has only seen Dah'ren Mohran's cutscene it seems.

Honestly but honestly it seems appealing to the longtime fans of the series is the least of their priorities. I'm honestly angry at this.
