The Borderlands movie seems to have a plot hole, mentioning an ability that isn’t featured in the game series until Borderlands 3.
But if Zane doesn’t feature in the Borderlands series until Borderlands 3, why does a weapon in a prequel movie mention an ability that’s only available exclusively for him? That’s what the fan below is wondering, at least, as they’re bringing a frankly ludicrous amount of hours in the Borderlands universe to bear. That’s “16,000 hours of Borderlands knowledge,” to be precise.
Now, one could naturally make an argument that Zane does exist years before the events of Borderlands 3 - his brother, Baron Flynt, is in the first Borderlands game, after all. To be fair, the original Twitter user admits that this is all a “bit nitpicky,” but that hasn’t stopped them from “compiling every single sin” committed by the Borderlands movie, in their eyes.
It hasn’t been a smooth start for the Gearbox movie adaptation. Early reactions called theBorderlands movie “uninspired” and a “disaster,“and that was before it debuted onRotten Tomatoes with a wild 0% approval rating from critics. Over $100 million has been spent on this movie, which might explain whyGearbox’s CEO has been tweeting through it.
