. I saw some stuff about Iron Giant but in the book he was actually one of the choices of robots that the players could pick.



I remember reading during production that some aspects like which robots they pick are different than the book because they couldn't get the rights to everything mentioned in the book.

I can understand not being able to get the rights to supaidaman and other slightly obscure anime. But replacing that with Iron Giant is a better choice for domestic audiences I would think.

There may be some hardcore book readers that get bent because "it's not like the book"..similar to some of the comic book nerds..But everything I have heard was that Spielberg did this thing right.

I know the challenges won't all be exactly the same and it seems he meets Art3mis way earlier in the timeline . But I don't care about that either. I think they had to make the real life portion of this story more important and engaging for mainstreamers and that will make it appeal to a wider audience.

Either way I'm hyped to see OG's birthday! Hyped to see the last great battle scene that looks to play out and cannot wait to see what they come up with for the gate and key challenges other than The Race.

If I had to guess..The copper key is not on ludus in the tomb of horrors
