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.
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.
