is Ready Player One /co/?

>movie based on a novel
No.

>>94086279
is it /co/ enough

>>94086313
How? It isn't a cartoon, it isn't a comic.
It is a novel that contains characters from the pop culture.
Does it make Ready Player One /a/ and /v/ too? No.
It is not /co/.

>>94086313
see
>>94086279

Isn't it just a bunch of references? It's not that /co/ related.

That being said, stuff like Animorphs, DBZ, Puppets, all that is counted as /co/ so I don't see why this couldn't have the occasional thread

>>94086574
some of them are interwined in the plot

Because then we get retards like this and THEY NEVER LEAVE.

can someone tell me what the appeal of this movie/book is? I tried to ask people and they just say "bruh you gotta read it!" while vibrating in their seats, not telling me a damn thing.

To me, it just looks like a bunch of nostalgia references, like a glorified robot chicken episode.

people need to stop this meme, its about a guy having an adventure in a VR world where other fictional characters reside man, i dont think the books tht good but i have faith in the film

we get iron giant, Freedy Krueger in the bsckground, and a Deloereon for 1 second and now its forced 80s shit

I'm not interested in all the video game and pop culture references but I'd love to see more about that world they live in. You don't really see trailer park dystopias.

>>94087595
It's wish fulfillment.

Beyond just the surface level references the main character is a nerdy loser who beats his bullies gets a hot girl and becomes popular because of his nerdiness.

It's a scanveger hunt YA novel, the MC has to find 3 in-game macguffins to be the owner of the company that makes the game you see in the trailer (Oasis) because the original creator died and left the hunt as his last puzzle.

The bad guys are an evil corporation that wants to own the company because everyone plays the game because real life sucks.

The concept is nothing new, the writing is rather poor, the characters are all shit except for the game creator.

But it has Evas and mecha-godzilla fighting in the end, so there is that.

>>94086232

Not really, no.

>heard a rumor that Legendary wanted MechaGodzilla for the MonsterVerse, but couldn't get the rights for some reason
>In the final battle, the main villain pilots MechaGodzilla 3/Kiryu

...could it be?

I read an article saying that the Iron Giant will have a (semi-literal) large part to play in the movie's take of the story.

Judging from the fact that the book ends with a massive robot battle as mentioned, I can only assume that the Giant will be involved?

>>94086772
so a literal abomination
