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.
