• Gaige and Dr. Despite missing beloved characters like Zed, Borderlands introduces new narrative elements to mixed reviews.

Despite the impressive cast of the ensemble, Border areas many of the film's most recognizable and compelling characters are absent Border areas video games. Although some fans believe that it is a choice – Border areas' missing characters created a sequel in a sense – director Eli Roth's decision draw from all the parts in the franchise and create a new story around the bounty hunter Lilith (Cate Blanchett) resulted in massive changes. Instead of focusing on the Vault Hunter team of the first game, the film sees corporate tycoon Atlas (Edgar Ramírez) recruit Lilith to rescue his daughter Tiny Tina (Ariana Greenblatt).

It just doesn't Border areas the movie changes Tina's history, but it introduces Lilith's Siren powers as a kind of riff on her class in the game.

Border areasThe box and its contents. Realizing Atlas's selfish motivations, Lilith abandons her original mission and joins him Border areasA cast of characters including Roland (Kevin Hart), a mercenary to protect Tina, and Krieg (Florian Muntianu), a “psycho” thug. still, some lovers Border areas no identities.

10 Nice Jack

One of the most glaring omissions is Handsome Jack, the main antagonist Border areas 2. In the canon of games, Handsome Jack takes over the Hyperion Corporation and declares himself the dictator of Pandora. He manages this by using his fake reputation, claiming that he alone has found the Vault and defeated the monstrous creature that resides there, the Destroyer. Between his ego and ruthlessness, Handsome Jack is harmful to Pandora. Although the series' most charming villain has been cut, Atlas appears as a handsome Jack stand-in.

9 Brick

It cannot be denied Border areas missing characters makes a sequel more likely, especially since one of those missing characters is Brick. Brick, a Berserker class character in Borderlands, also appears as a non-playable character (NPC) in most other installments of the franchise. Needless to say, Brick is a constant presence throughout the seriesand it is strange that it is cut Border areas movie. In addition to being one of the four Vault Hunters in the first game, Brick was a founding member of the Crimson Raiders. Obviously, the film gave Krieg the role of the tank of the crew.

8 Mordecai

The fourth Vault Hunter joins Lilith, Roland, and Brick's quest in the original Border areas Mordecai was a Hunter class character who relied on his precision marksmanship and falconry to deal damage. Like Brick, Mordecai is a fan favorite who has appeared as a supporting character in other games. It is possible that Roth et the team behind the adaptation wanted to save the introduction of Brick and Mordecai for a future installment in the series. However, planned Border areasAfter the first film's poor box office performance, a cinematic universe doesn't seem like a good gamble.

7 Gaige

Added Gaige DiMartino, a Mechromancer class character Border areas 2 as part of post-release DLC, but that doesn't make it any less memorable. If anything, Tina Jr. is more like Gaige featured in Borderlands – at least in terms of personality. A high school student with a penchant for livestreams, Gaige is most interested in the history of Pandora, from the Vaults to Eridium. In her own words, yesterday's Pandora “the most amazingly awesome time in history.“He said apparently the movie didn't want to cast both Gaige and Tina.

6 Guardian angel

The Guardian Angel – in some cases also goes by just Angel – was first introduced in the original Border areashe follows the Vault Hunters on their quest. Later it turned out that Angel is the daughter of Handsome Jack as well as a Siren with the ability to phase shift. In fact, Angel can pass into the technology and present itself as an AI entity. Admittedly, introducing Angel's history could have been too heavy for the first film, but that's a shame. Border areas Angel and Beauty threw Jack's plan for an Atlas-Tina connection.

5 Pain and Terror

Originally, Penn Jillette was to make a cameo appearance in Eli Roth's film Border areasplays the role of a preacher who will oversee the wedding. Unfortunately, the film's camera Border areas The voice actor who played Pain was cut from the final film. While that's a shame in itself, it's also baffling that Pain and Terror didn't appear in Borderlands . In Border 3, Pain and Horror are thugs who admire the Calypso Twins' talk about family.. After his children join the Vault cult, Pain and Terror find themselves among other bloodthirsty companions.

4 Janey Springs

Supporting character Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel and Tales from the borderlandsJaney Springs is a fan-favorite junk dealer. one Border areasJaney runs O Stuff, the Springs' Emporium in Elpis, and in her spare time writes children's books about the chaos that unfolds around her. There's no denying that Eli Roth's film has plenty of supporting characters with one-off scenes – and Janey would be one of those figures. Still, with Border areas' sad (and rare) Rotten Tomatoes score, Janey Springs may never see the silver screen.

3 Dr. Zed

Many players Dr. He believes that Zed is one of the strangest Border areas characters – and that's saying something. Zed, the only human inhabitant of Fyrestone who encounters the first game's Vault Hunters, becomes the series' traveling doctor. Despite keeping medical vendors set up around Pandora and using his spare time to chop up corpses at the hospital – Dr. Zed is really weird because canonically he lost his medical license for unknown reasons. It's hard to know if Zed ever becomes a doctor, but a cameo in the movie would be fun nonetheless. Border areas movie.

2 Mr Torgue

The muscular, explosion-loving Mister Torgue High-Five Flexington, also known as Mr. Torgue, appears as an NPC. Mr. Torg's Campaign of Massacre DLC for Border 2. Founder of Torgue, a weapons manufacturer, the character's role in the company is a PR stunt; he is just the face of the company, selling the gun designs. It is still possible Border areas The film's colorful characters were too big to accommodate the more eccentric, disposable personalities, however deprived of live action, Mr. Torgue (and his grandmother) definitely bites.

1 Mrs. Aurelia Hammerlock

Although Charles Babalola appears as Sir Hammerlock in the film Border areas film, his sister, Lady Aurelia Hammerlock, does not join the cinematic fray. Playable Baroness class character Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, Aurelia One of the Vault Hunters responsible for helping Handsome Jack when he rose to power. In the third part Border areas In the games, Aurelia Hammerlock serves as a sub-antagonist. Still, between the crowded playground and the film's decision to trade Handsome Jack for Atlas, Aurelia just didn't fit the story. Border areas.
