I could tell you about the Netflix series, but I don’t even have time to explain why I don’t have time to explain.

It’s a shame, given the incredible series Netflix has ordered based on other game franchises.

I definitely would’ve watched. It would’ve been bittersweet listening to a new Zavala though.

They would have vaulted the season 1 or 2 at one point anyways… For Destiny 3, they will really need to make the game more organized and welcoming.

I liked my time on D2, I really liked the Savathun expansion, especially the artistic side…but lightfall and the subsequent content drops burnt me.

I would love a show that takes place during the dark ages and shows the formation of the Iron lords as well as the various Warlords.

The partnership actually made sense when you think about it. Netflix also likes to take content away from you.

There was a Destiny TV show in the works, until it wasn’t.

A serie would have been good, trying to make the lore/scenario more understandable and thus the game more welcome to newcomers.

For Destiny 3, they will really need to make the game more organized and welcoming.
