The Mass Effect Series as a Cinematic Universe

I wouldn't want Disney to be behind it. Sure, I don't mind Mordin getting to sing, its part of his character, but I don't think I could cope with seeing the Normandy crew singing a rendition of "He's a Reaper!"

Musical Mass Effect is a no from me!

The value of the Mass Effect series is in the established Normandy characters. For me this was a huge reason why Andromeda did not work. Having a Mass Effect movie without Garrus, Wrex, Liara & Tali would be like having an Xmen movie without Wolverine, Cyclops, etc.

I really don't mind the thought of a movie Shepard being thought of as THE cannon one. No it would be the movie cannon separate from the game one.  Merely an interpretation of Shepard in the same way that each Spiderman movie is a different interpretation of Spiderman for better or worse.

I think the best way for movie studios to approach Shepard is to think of Shepard as a role (Human Spectre) more-so than a character. Let the writers, actors and directors define their own character. Different incarnations of a tv show or movie would be essentially different people with the name Shepard. It would be like watching different people role-playing as Shepard on screen as it were which would be in-keeping with series tradition.

Disney do things by rote. Look at Marvel, sure the films are, on the whole, good. But all of them are much the same, and I'm someone who really loves it. They find a formula that works and milk it. Disney being in control would mean we get a toned down universe that would probably lead to good films that feel repetitive. In fairness, they'd probably get parts like seeing the Citadel really great, but showing the horror of the Reapers and Collectors? The kidnappings, drug addicts, broken people, experimentation on children, terrorism, terrible disease, genocidal war, racial prejudice and very frequent killings... they'd never manage that satisfactorily.

Itd only really work as a porno
