Disclaimer, I only read, and did not play the game.
There was a licensed Fudge adaptation at one point. Grey Ghost IIRC
If you don't like classes or playbooks, then I could definitely see how you would bounce off Avatar Legends. Tastes obviously vary.
If nothing else, it has some lore that I wasn't aware of
Made me want to go and buy the graphic novels that I didn't even know existed.
It's a fun show - I was just talking to my kid about how we'd adapt it. Probably a Gumshoe game or Monster of the Week rather than D&D was where we've settled so far.
Jupiter Ascending actually has the makings of a great campy film moderately ruined by having creators who can't edit their own work being at a stage in their careers where nobody was willing to make them edit it or edit it for them. It feels like a film where they wrote a trilogy and then were told to make a single movie and rather than rewrite the first film to make it standalone they smashed all three movies together instead.
I'm a sucker for a sci-fi story that has an actual reason for why aliens would visit earth.It's a fun show - I was just talking to my kid about how we'd adapt it. Probably a Gumshoe game or Monster of the Week rather than D&D was where we've settled so far.

That said - I've already ripped off Jupiter Ascending worldbuilding stuff for a number of games myself. And the next time I run Spelljammer I'll probably do it again
When this song came out and was big on MTV for a bit, I thought it was the stupidest thing ever. Now it feels so achingly prescient.
Which reminds me I was musing on Twitter on how it would probably be possible to make a Dread style game where you replace the Jenga tower with a Pop Up Pirate.
The more I think about it, the angier I am that there is no ME ttrpg.
I would probably look at the AGE system, since it was first designed for Bioware's Dragon Age RPG and has expanded with a Modern AGE and the Expanse RPG. A lot of the pieces for a Mass Effect RPG are scattered among the different publications.
Im a little more annoyed we have not gotten a movie/series myself.
It seems an obvious choice for a high end Netflix anime adaptation.
Sure, if that's where it starts, but I wont settle for anything less than an actual adaption.
