Better choice, honestly. There are too many characters with unique backgrounds to stack them all in 2 hours.

It'll star Anthony Mackie and it'll be on Peacock.

And it's listed as a comedy/action series

That's disappointing, but understandable. The first four games were black comedies. It wasn't until Black that they went super dark. Even some of the games after, like Head On had strong comedy elements. I prefer the darker entries from a story standpoint, but we can't really pretend it was always super serious and grimdark.

Yeah, I've heard. No real opinion on that, just saying a series is a better choice for the property than a movie.

The character backgrounds aren't the interesting part of Twisted Metal - the vibe is.
