![]() And over the course of four seasons, its explosively detailed but initially slightly stilted animation was fine-tuned as the adventure-oriented plot grew in scope and theme. The series, an anime-inspired action-packed gorefest with a script balancing the grimdark with the cheeky, made a bloody splash upon arrival. And until 2017, that was it: Earthworm Jim was the best video-game adaptation. Vulture’s own almost-definitive list of video-game film adaptations last year - it eschewed animation, and somehow missed Detective Pikachu - ranked the films from “ least bad to absolute worst.” (We were very generous to Sonic the Hedgehog, likely because we understood how hard it must have been for Sonic to lose his human teeth.) On television, the ’90s delivered two good animated video-game adaptations, Where on Earth Is Carmen Sandiego? and Earthworm Jim, and one occasionally charming one, the first season of the now-interminable Pokémon series, among a slew of duds. Rare is the video-game adaptation that pleases, well, anyone, let alone stands as a worthwhile work in itself.
