#Marco-Marathon

Film Name: Borderlands (2024); Production Studios: Lionsgate Films, Picturestart, Arad Productions, Origo Film Group, 2K Games, Gearbox Studios; Director by: Eli Roth, Tim Miller; Screenwriter: Joe Abercrombie; Starring: Cate Blanchett, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, Ariana Greenblatt, Florian Munteanu; Genres: Science-fiction, Action, Adventure, Comedy; Running Time: 1 hour 41 minutes;

"Borderlands" (2024) is a chaotic and disappointing adaptation of the popular video game. Despite a stellar cast, including Cate Blanchett and Kevin Hart, the film suffers from poor direction, incoherent action scenes, and a lack of meaningful character development. The humor falls flat, and the movie feels disjointed, as though stitched together from different versions after troubled production. Even fans of the game may struggle to find enjoyment in this lifeless adaptation.

Zero stars is a failed attempt to transfer the spirit of the game to the screen.

My rating:

Some more Borderlands 2 weapons for d20 Modern

A couple different experiments with presenting Maliwan pistols and some Vladof rocket launchers.  I’m trying some new things to see how I want to stat BL weapons and gear in the future.  The weapon descriptions are my own, but, the Elemental descriptions come from the Borderlands wiki

Maliwan Pistols (Borderlands 2)

Advanced revolver-like weapons that draw liquid ammunition from three rotating chambers.

Maliwan Pistols can be divided into five models, Torment.  

Aegis: The most common equipped with short barrel

Animosity: An pistol manfactured with barrels purchased from the Torgue corporation, replaces the Splash damage gadjet with an Explosive elemental gadjet of equal rarity to the weapon (already factored into the weapon's purchase DC)

Phobia: Advanced pistols manufactured with Hyperion barrels, good critical chance.

Torment: pistols manufactured with Jakobs barrels, offer better than average damage and improved accuracy.  Do to the Jakobs' corporations distain for Elemental damage mods, Torment pistols are rare and, so say, overpriced.

Umbrage: Light weight machine pistols manufactured with Vladof barrels.  When making Auto/burst fire attacks one handed this weapon suffers an additional -2 circumstance penalty to attack rolls (or -1 with a two hand grip)

D20rules: All Maliwan pistols come with the Splash Damage Gadjet and an Elemental Gadjet of the same rarity level as the pistol itself (both factored into the weapon's base purchase DC, can not receive an explosive elemental mod). All Maliwan pistols can attach a wire stock, with the stock attached the weapon is considered large but, receives a +2equipment bonus to attack rolls.

Purchase DC Modifier: +1

Corrosive

Corrosive weapons are capable of splashing acid onto multiple enemies, causing them to corrode away. Corrosive damage is particularly good at eliminating Crimson Lance, turrets and vehicles. Similarly, in Borderlands 2, Corrosive damage is extremely useful in dealing with Loaders, Hyperion Soldiers, and armored enemies of all types (now indicated by yellow health bars). The death animation from corrosive damage is a grisly scene in which green acid eats away at the victims' flesh or plate until they are completely dissolved.

Corrosive, Uncommon

Description: Adds an acidic damage effect to the weapon

d20 Effect: +1d4 Acid damage, Fort DC12 or the target takes an additional 1d2 Acid damage for 1d6 rounds.  If applied to an energy weapon instead of the standard effect, it changes the damage type to Acid and adds an additional die of damage (Fort Save and lingering effect still apply).

Restrictions: Any ranged weapon

Purchase DC Modifier: +4

Restrictions: Any ranged weapon

Purchase DC Modifier: +10

Cryo

Cryo weapons can only be found on Pandora's moon because of the frozen methane they require in order to fire. Marcus Kincaid hopes to one day bring this technology to Pandora.— Tip 83, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel

Cryo is an elemental damage type introduced in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. Cryo damage can appear on any weapon type from any manufacturer excluding Jakobs (except for the unique Too Scoops shotgun) and Torgue.

Cryo elemental weapons are capable of slowing down and/or freezing targets solid. Cryo damage is particularly useful against nimble targets, such as Guardians, where a cryo status effect can freeze them in place to leave them vulnerable. When used against freezable airborne targets, cryo damage will cause the victim to fall to the ground and the resulting impact can shatter them if they fall from a high enough altitude.

While frozen, enemies take an additional +250% melee damage, +200% explosive damage, and +200% extra critical hit damage. While the critical hit bonus applies to critical hits from cryo weapons as well, the bonus is lowered to +110% extra damage.

When a playable Vault Hunter suffers a cryo status effect, the Vault Hunter will not freeze solid but will instead be significantly slowed down, with sprinting speed being slower than the regular running speed. This slowdown typically lasts 6 seconds, but can last longer if the Vault Hunter is standing near a Cryo Vine or is afflicted by another cryo status effect.

Cryo, Uncommon

Description: Adds bonus Cold damage to the weapon

d20 Effect: +1d4  Cold damage, Fort DC15 or the target acts as if under the effects of a Slow spell and suffers an a additional 1d2 damage from all subsequent attacks for 1d6 rounds.  If applied to an energy weapon instead of the standard effect, it changes the damage type to Cold and adds an additional die of damage (Fort Save and lingering effect still apply).

Explosive

Explosive weapons' bullets have a chance to explode when they impact, dealing extra damage and creating a splash damage effect allowing them to damage multiple enemies within the blast radius.

Unlike other elemental attacks, explosive weapons never deal damage over time. All damage is inflicted immediately.

Explosive, Uncommon

d20 Effect: +1die of damage, everything within 5ft of the target struck must make a  DC12 Reflex save or suffer half damage.  Weapon's damage type changes to half base-half concussion

Incendiary

The Incendiary elemental property adds the effect of fire to weapons, grenade mods, shields, and some enemies. It is most effective against unshielded fleshy enemies, such as Bruisers and younger skags. Incendiary bullets burst into flames on impact. When an incendiary elemental chance successfully triggers, the enemy is ignited, dealing damage over time. If the enemy dies due to fire damage, their corpse will burn away. If the enemy is wearing armor, the armor will not burn and is left on the ground.The flames of certain weapons have a splash effect and can spread from enemy to enemy and the effect will stack. Weapons with Incendiary elemental properties often have red coloring on parts of the weapon's model.

Barrels which are red in color contain flammable material and explode and release a large bursts of flame when destroyed.

Incendiary, Uncommon

Description: Ignites targets

d20 Effect: +1d4 fire damage, Fort DC12 or the target takes an additional 1d2 fire damage for 1d6 rounds.  If applied to an energy weapon instead of the standard effect, it changes the damage type to Fire and adds an additional die of damage (Fort Save and lingering effect still apply).

Shock

Shock weapons crackle with electricity and are very effective against shielded targets.

Shock attacks inflict 50% additional damage against all shields. Against unshielded flesh or armor, they suffer a 10% damage penalty.

Shock bullets crack with electricity when they impact. When a shock weapon's effect triggers, high damage is dealt to the enemy's shield and they take damage over time. If an enemy dies to shock damage, his face burns away and reveals his skull and part of his brain, then his head explodes.

Uncommon

Slag

Slag is an element introduced in Borderlands 2, and is apparently a by-product of the Eridium refinement process. Slag elemental weapons have a chance to coat enemies in slag. Slagged targets take increased damage from all non-slag sources.

In the time of events of Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel slag, being newly discovered, is mentioned by Jack only on single occasion, and is not accessible for Vault Hunters, but its effect still can be applied to them by some enemies.

[unpopularly-opinionated]

Beat the Bounty of Blood, figured I’d give my two cents, ignore it since it was unwarranted :)

Not a bad DLC. I wasn’t here when it came out originally, but I have to imagine it came out relatively close to when the last season of Westworld did, whether intentionally or not I don’t know. I’m not huge into westerns, but coming from a Westworld fan, it definitely scratches that western itch.

It’s very apparent right from the get-go that it’s inspired by Westerns, which in turn were inspired by Japanese samurai films. The planet you go to is called Gehenna which is Japanese for Hell. The characters throughout intersperse miscellaneous Japanese dialogue, but if I’m being honest it’s only ever used for kind of a gimmick. It’s never touched upon, nor addressed. It’s just like they’ll say random Japanese words and you’re just expected to either know them or assume it’s slang for something. I kind of wish they would’ve leaned into it a bit more, I don’t know.

I haven’t done all of the side quests like I’d normally do so this is really like a 50% review. Bad on my part, I agree. I did one side quest though and it wasn’t too bad. I thought it was pretty good. The main quest though is the bread and butter of the DLC and if I’m being honest I think it’s worth the money (course idk if you can actually buy it separately from the season pass).

The world is fairly large, for a DLC, though it’s been a good decade since I last played Borderlands, let alone Borderlands DLC so maybe don’t take my word on that.

The one part that really bothered/confused me was that in the main BL3 campaign it’s kind of implied that the Jakobs Corporation are maybe one of the good ones. Like all of the employees seem to love working there and the CEO is a pretty chill dude but in this DLC, seemingly without explanation it’s shown that the Jakobs Corporation sucks because they basically came to this town, exploited it for it’s resources, and then dipped when it got too inconvenient to continue working there (which is ironic considering Eden-6 seems WAY worse to work IMO). All in all, it just seemed weird. Like I get corps are meant to look like trash in the Borderlands world but the main campaign really made it seem like Jakobs was a good corporation.

Overall though, I’d say maybe 7/10. I liked the story and un ambiguous ending. I hope to see more of Rose in the future.
