However, the aliens' plan isn't as straightforward as it seems. The movie's setup sees the adult group of superheroes, aka The Heroics, kidnapped by an invading alien force, leaving their superpowered offspring to rescue their parents and save the Earth.
We Can Be Heroes ending explained: How does it set up a sequel? What a world, etc.Now that a sequel has been confirmed by Netflix, how does the ending of We Can Be Heroes set it up? In case you haven't seen it yet, spoilers are ahead. One that's significantly more existent than those of World of Warcraft, Mass Effect, Wolfenstein, and many, many others, no less. So yeah, Company of Heroes is getting a movie. If nothing else, I doubt the ensuing mishmash of so-bad-it's-good-ness will be boring. Tom Sizemore of Saving Private Ryan and Black Hawk Down's starring, and Neal McDonough from Band of Brothers is also on board. It's actually got some fairly serious starpower going for it, though - or at least, starpower in the realm of war movies. Faced with impossible odds, the company and an escaping POW go on a daring raid into the heart of Nazi Germany in pursuit of the scientist." The soldiers soon learn about a secret allied mission to retrieve a defecting German scientist in charge of a secret weapons program.
"During the last major German offensive of World War II, a company of American soldiers is lost behind enemy lines during the Battle of the Bulge and they make a horrific discovery - Hitler has a super bomb in development. The plot, meanwhile, focuses on evil Nazi science and the only company of soldiers - nay, heroes - who can Get The Job Done. Also, if it can maintain the level of dramatic action movie leaping featured in this trailer throughout the whole film, well, it'll certainly be. Unsurprisingly, Company of Heroes: The Movie of the Game of the War looks preposterously overblown and cliched. For instance, when I say "making the leap," I mean that literally. But obviously, making the leap to a new medium required Company of Heroes to take some liberties. Then again, this one's direct-to-DVD, so I guess that solves that. And yeah, much as I think my most brilliant tactical masterpieces - for instance, a nuanced little number I like to call TANKS EVERYWHERE - are worth their own movie adaptations, the game's brand of top-down contemplaction doesn't exactly make for the best big screen material.
I mean, don't get me wrong: Company of Heroes is a work of absolute RTS brilliance, but it's not exactly a household name. Once, I thought there was at least some cold, profit-maximizing business precision that guided whatever awfulness-seeking missile explodes games into not-great movies, but now I'm not even sure of that anymore.
