In One piece the villains are the one world government. Is Netflix going to include that? nah of course not.
Oh god, why does this look on par with Dragon Ball evolution!? Why am I suddenly getting PTSD flashbacks to watching that film once!?
It probably will be, regardless of the story quality.
I'm now extremely thankful I cancelled my Netflix subscription years ago, originally because of Cuties, now just so I don't see or fund this shit.
It sucks, because there were several Netflix made movies that I love (Wheelman, The Highwaymen, All Quiet on the Western Front), as well as other things. But then I dont want to go and subscribe because they do stupid shit like you described.
I know, I was thinking of doing the same for amazon but didn't because although they make some shit, they don't do it with 11 year olds or targeting kids so get a pass. Plus they have Grand Tour and Clarkson's Farm.
...when my standards are minimum no pedo baiting and you fail that requirement, what the fuck is with Netflix management?
My guess is pedos.
It’ll at least be as good as their Cowboy Bebop.
Did you drop the bar? Why is it on the ground?
This shit is so annoying to me. Not because of the film, but because so many fucking retards thought this one might be different. We've had literal fucking decades of TERRIBLE adaptations when it comes to nerd culture, with the only one ever cracking it being generic as fuck capeshit, and that has plenty of objective failures in there as well.
Seriously, how many live-action anime adaptations are worth watching? Ghost in the Shell? Nope. Fullmetal Alchemist? Nope. DragonBall Evolution? Nope. Bleach? Nope. Cowboy Bebop? Shocker, it's again nope.
For fucks sake, what in the everloving fuck was anyone thinking about this being decent, let alone good? Has nothing been learnt about the shit tier-quality that is adaptations? Even the supposed good adaptations are either lousy as an adaptation and take creative liberties to create a compelling movie (Alita for example), or they're simply mediocre as far as films go and you're better off just watching the anime instead.
This was set to be a failure from day one. Anyone who held any hope to the contrary (other than to be proven wrong by assuming it would be trash) should be checked for severe mental deficiencies.
They at least got some things right in it. Not the casting, but the environment.
I was going to say the exact same thing.
The director of photography had a real eye for a scene, and did a drop-dead bang-up job making some of those environments look spectacular, regardless of the quality of the rest of the film.
The casting was all wrong and the story made no sense at all, but I have to give props to the film crew for knowing their way around a camera and a set.
If they had gone with someone like Lucy Liu instead of Scarlett, things could have been so much better. The only good casting choice in there was Beat Takeshi.
The story reeked of Hollywood executives messing around with something they didn't understand.
It's a shame because as far as the cinematography and production design they nailed it. The scene in which Section 9 gets set up actually made me forget about the casting choices for a minute. They even had Togusa use a Chiappa Rhino, presumably because they couldn't get their hands on a real Mateba Sei Unica.
I used to roll my eyes whenever someone brought up the subject of a live-action movie of any sort of media, be it a video game, cartoon, comic, anime, manga, book, or whatever. Now I get pissed off. I've grown to absolutely hate the idea of live-action adaptations. There's this prevalent belief in our culture that live-action film is the be-all, end-all form of storytelling, that all the other forms are inferior and are if anything a chore to go through, even for so-called fans, and that no story will ever be "complete" until it's gotten a live-action adaptation. And it freaking disgusts me.
Some of the better adaptations weren't actual adaptations. The Matrix leans hard on GitS and Pacific Rim is probably the closest to NGE live action will get.
Edge of Tomorrow was better than the Light Novel it was based on, to the point most people don't even know it was an adaptation of a Jap IP.
Also, anyone who is a One Piece fan probably doesn't have enough time to have watched another show AND its shitty adaptation to know better. They have to shotgun rewatch all 1000 episodes for the 3rd time.
I had forgotten about Edge of Tomorrow, but I am personally unaware of the adaptation quality. Yes, it's a really good movie, but was it accurate? Because if not, refer back to what I said regarding Alita and creative liberties. If it is accurate, then I guess there's an exception to the rule of thumb. It's not like an adaptation can't be good, just that there's nowhere near enough evidence to not reasonably assume it will be shit until proven otherwise.
I think because tom cruise is in it.. seems tom cruise most likely had a lot of opinions and say in how to make a good movie for entertainment purposes.
Was about to mention this... Tom Cruise is a true narcissist who cares that people truly think highly of him, and that's reflective of the movies he chooses to be in. He wants people to actually like his films and for his films to make money, so he goes out of his way to make sure they're successful, or at the very least, entertaining.
Far as I remember, it was as accurate as you can get with the type of story and only adapting a small fraction to a single "finished" product.
Though considering they were adapting a barely known IP, changed the name entirely and barely mentioned the original, its almost not even an adaptation and more like "bought the screenplay then reworked it" of a product.
I only bring it up because its an "exception" that proves its possible but they choose not to put in even the most basic effort.
Sure, I don't disagree. Was just curious if it was an actual adaptation (like most anime is of the manga they're based off), or if it was an "adaptation" like Blade Runner is an "adaptation", in that it's wildly off from the original and just takes some key elements between the two, while still telling a good and compelling story.
Interesting that it seems to be a rather accurate adaption then, considering how rare that is for the west to do.
I think what a lot of these adaptations fuck up (and this applies not just to those of Jap IPs), is they try to tell one of the big grander stories of the franchise to be a big spectacle and draw people in. Something that in the original was an entire season or more, which they then boil down to a single 2 hour or less movie.
Transformers for example is about to try and adapt Beast Wars in a single movie, because it has the biggest fanbase after G1 of the franchise, and its going to work against it.
I didn't know edge of tomorrow was japanese, and I was pleasantly surprised when it came out.
Now it makes more sense, knowing it's japanese IP.
Ironically, Tom Cruise probably saved the movie.
Because for all his faults, he will always make sure the action portions of any movie are phenomenal and his own character likeable. Which is why despite the blonde girl being superior to him in every way and easy bait for the Mary Sue who schools him on everything, it instead has them improve each other and have enjoyable chemistry.
Don’t matter to me. My parents shared my account and I’d warned them a while back that once Netflix told me I’d have to pay an extra fee for their access that I’d cancel my subscription. I just got that nastygram. Even my mom has asked me “did you ever notice how every couple on Netflix is interracial?” It’s got to be blatant if even she picked up on it! She had severe TDS.
What good is wealth when you can't use it to influence other people? That's why Big Tech does what it does.
It's evil.
Cowone Piecebop.
I can’t get in to one piece, but is there like any indication that there’s a planned end to the series? Always seemed like an indefinite cash grab to me
I've been following the story since the beginning. It's not, the narrative unfolds logically and has a definite and clear progression toward the end goal. And we are now in the final stages on onepiece.
Inb4 ginger Nami -> rigger Niga.
Also "riggers" needs to be used hard for this since riggers were part of ships like that.
You would actually have to be some kind of genius to successfully adapt One Piece into a live action TV show. The strong points of the story depend on a pace and set of tropes unique to manga and anime. Most faithful adaptations of Luffy to live action would result in a character that acts like a retard. Stuff like the river flowing upward would land in the uncanny valley of CG if it isn't done perfect. The villains are highly tendentious and their posturing and unique laughs would be extremely cheesy. How is Zoro supposed to fight with 3 swords and not look horrible? How do you even do Luffy's rubber powers and not make a visual abomination?
What the fuck is this retarded nonsense?
Netflix.
Say "sike." Say "sike" right now!
Only if you spell it properly: psych/psyche/psyke.
You really going to be a hard ass about spelling defunct slang?
Lvie action of an anime known for fan fiction and women with overly exaggerated features. Doubt any of that will exist in live action.
Man.. just because the witcher did semi good in first season, we got all these woke trash ass live actions for video games and anime.
Oh.. race swapping too..... ....
