2022 rolled in, and bam! Elden Ring happened. A bunch of people just dove headfirst into its story, got all tangled up with its characters. And now, there’s news about it hitting the big screen as a movie. Honestly, I’m kinda excited. No more dodging those nasty bosses—finally, just soaking in the lore. Yeah, a movie means we get to, like, explore the whole shebang without getting smashed by those menacing beasties in the Lands Between.
Oh, the whole game-to-movie thing—it’s a bit of a gamble, right? Some folks love it, some roll their eyes. But this one, Elden Ring’s movie? Seems promising. Alex Garland is the guy behind the wheel. Word is, he’s a mega fan—like, New Game+6 level fan. Only someone that deep into the game could really get what the players want. But hey, here’s hoping they don’t skip on a crucial cameo.
Okay, slight sidestep. There’s this player, Let Me Solo Her. Ring any bells? They’re kinda a big deal in the Elden Ring community. Picture this: battling the toughest boss, Malenia, with nothing but a Jar Helm. Yep, you heard that right. The player is a legend—well, might be putting it lightly.
And get this—there’s another one following their footsteps: LetMeSoloThem. Same jar, same determination. They’ve taken down the final boss ten thousand times. Talk about dedication. And not stopping there—they’ve lent a hand with any other boss trying to make players cry. Rellana, Radahn, you name it. Seems their aim is just to help the community see the freaking credits roll!
These “Jarnished” heroes are, like, shining stars. They’ve inspired art, even got restaurant nods. Isn’t that nuts? Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 even sneaked in a tribute. Other games, totally different genres, started playing along too. It kinda feels like missing the mark if the Elden Ring movie leaves them out.
Now, about cramming them into the movie. Sure, they’re not story-central, but there’s gotta be a way. They’re sort of woven into that community fabric—almost like a side dish complimenting the main course, you know? Maybe just a whispered lore or a side tale about a heroic jar-wearing Tarnished could do the trick.
Considering how these games, and other films too, sprinkle in fan Easter eggs—like Sonic’s meme or Minecraft nods—the movie has to get with the program. A little nod to Let Me Solo Her would tie up that bundle of fan love just right.
And even if they’ve moved on to other games, their mark is there. Sure would be a neat homage, like a wink to those in the know. The real question is, will they be a little background nod, or a straightforward name drop? Only time will tell, right? Oh, and before I forget, the game itself? A masterpiece, no doubt about that. 10/10, hands down.
