5 Video Games That Should Have A Netflix Original Series
So, here's the deal, I have to admit that I was duped yesterday morning. At 4:00am after being awakened by my crying 4 month old son, I got him to fall back asleep against my chest and since there was nothing else to do, I started surfing my Facebook feed. In the feed, I saw a friend post an article stating that a new Netflix series was in production, a Game of Thrones-esque series based on The Legend of Zelda. I was absolutely giddy and I began planning out how I would craft my write-up, until I was reminded that the news I had discovered was from last year.

Wait, What!? They're Rebooting This Board Game Adaptation?
15 years ago, the incredibly popular, fantasy role-playing game, Dungeons & Dragons had a feature film created...nobody liked it. It was panned by nearly every critic even though it had a solid cast including Jeremy Irons, Bruce Payne, Robert Miano, Marlon Wayans, Thora Birch, Lee Arenberg & Tom Baker. The 2000 film is seen as a commercial flop as it was met with reviews and rankings as one of the worst films of all time. Empire Online ranked it as the 39th Worst film of all time, between Son of the Mask & Superman IV: The Quest for Peace.

Daddy Issues: We Finally Know Who Ash's Father Is(n't) In Pokémon!
There are more Pokémon theories out there than Ratattas in Pokémon Go, but now one popular theory has been well and truly debunked! It is time to take off the tin foil as we get one step closer to unravelling the mystery of just who Ash Ketchum's father is. As the star of the anime series, Ash's daddy issues have formed one of the franchise's biggest mysteries since the series' creation - did the show go full Goku and tragically killed him off, or is Ash's father some deadbeat dad who abandoned his family? Back in 2008 the anime show's director Masamitsu Hidaka even teased that we may meet Mr. Ketchum if Ash needed to "grow". Eight years later and we are still waiting, Hidaka! We're still no closer to the mysterious father of Ash.

Can Netflix's 'Castlevania' Break Dracula's Curse?
Netflix is taking a big gamble on their next project. Bram Stoker's Dracula and pretty much any video game adaptation have one thing in common, when it comes to adapting them for the screen, large or small. They're both subject to audiences with a love for the original content and that means any new adaptation has to get by steadfast fans if it's going to be a success.
