10 Insultingly Bad Video Game Movie Characters

Movies have a whitewashing issue. It's not a video game movie thing, it's an all of Hollywood thing. Whether it's the Gods of Egypt being pastier than white-out or comic book characters that originally are Asian being adapted as someone whose starring role was as the White Witch. It's an issue all of them struggle with.

So when adopting the Prince of Persia film, of course the film failed so hard it should've triggered another extinction event.
