What would you make a core of a Borderlands movie for it not to suck as the recent one? (sh.itjust.works)

Making it 17+, changing cast and visuals don't count. Let's say it's live action with heavy CGI. What would be here for the main attraction, the plot, the cast of characters?

Do the borderlands comic series, but make it a TV show instead of a movie.

Also dump all the A-list celebrities. Nobody needs Cate Blanchett, Jack Black 🖕, or Kevin Hart in a series that already has established voices for their characters.

Why vitriol towards jack black more than the others? (Genuine question.)

He killed Tenacious D mid-tour in an act of dick-riding for Donald Trump, while campaigning for Biden.

Also Borderlands is shit, and his role as the voice of Claptrap took the spot of two talented voice actors who have already played the character across multiple games.

He was in a tough situation. We need to remember the extent of right wing vitriol and hate. Anyone who speaks out against Trump gets death threats. Their concerts would have had protestors outside. Continuing the tour could have been a safety risk for their fans. I'm not saying cancelling everything was the right move, but it's not as simple as "dick riding for Donald Trump."
