This animated anthology series presents original stories set in the worlds of iconic video games. Video games have made a huge leap forward onto the screen, and we’re celebrating the genre by taking a closer look at over 50 video game adaptations into films and shows. Clive Standen reprises his voice role as Demetrius Titus, the protagonist of the video game Space Marine 2. The episode takes place after the events of the game. Referenced in the Film Junk Podcast: Episode 973: Carry-On (2024). I’ve always wanted a series like this. When I watch cinematic trailers or video game cutscenes, I often think that some of them would make for great TV. I knew the creators of Love Death and Robots would find a new animated anthology series, and I’m glad to be right. The Warhammer episode was definitely a highlight for me so far, and I really hope to see more in the future. My only complaint would be that certain episodes were given more airtime. There are so many solid video game stories that this show can delve into and adapt into fleshed-out episodes, the possibilities are very exciting, and I’m glad they’ve gone for a grittier, more mature tone throughout. I’m very happy with what’s been shown so far, and I’m looking forward to what’s to come. “One Hundred Years of Solitude” is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month.
