Another week, another videogame adaptation hits the movie theaters—but this one is a bit different. YouTuber Markiplier (Mark Fischbach) produced, directed, acted in, and even distributed an adaptation of indie horror game Iron Lung, which he first recorded himself playing in 2022.
But which is better, watching Markiplier play the game for 45 minutes on YouTube or watching the 2+ hour adaptation he directs and stars in? I decided to watch both yesterday—including a follow-up video where he spent 30 minutes replaying Iron Lung—meaning I submerged myself in more than three entire hours of Markiplier in a single day.
