Video game icon Duke Nukem might make an unexpected return, as Netflix’s Devil May Cry creator Adi Shankar just acquired the rights for a screen adaptation. Now, Shankar was quick to clarify that he doesn’t intend to be faithful to what the character stood for back in the ’90s, while indulging in a bit of trolling on social media that ruffled some feathers among certain fans.
“I feel preemptively bad for the cry babies,” he wrote on Twitter. “I apologize in advance to them… But you’re not gonna like what I’m gonna do with Adi Shankar’s Duke Nukem,” he continued saying that the “brand will be saved” thanks to his vision of Duke Nukem.
Shankar kept referring to Apogee Software, original makers of Duke Nukem 3D, as “Apache”, clearly in an attempt to troll some forever-angry users that jumped to the opportunity to correct him. “Apache is a MUCH better name that Apogee,” he explained in another tweet. “That’s why I’m calling them Apache. Apogee sounds like Apology (which is something only losers do). Apache sounds like a battle helicopter (which is very cool). Duke Nukem is in great hands with me because I’m a genius.”
