Overall: I'm happy to approve both Alt0 and Alt1 for this. Article recently passed GA and the hook is interesting. Per my recommendation, I would suggest wikilinking both the video game and the film but think that's a matter of preference so that's up to you. Good job otherwise!

Hello @CaptainGalaxy Thanks for the review and the help! I adjusted the hook/ALT a bit to highlight just the video game, since I think there might be a limit on wikilinks. I also reduced down the image description because it felt a little too long to me. Thanks again! AdobongPogi ^{masarap 🍛} 11:30, 12 September 2025 (UTC).
