@@victorbukowsky7496 ??

You mean the fact that the characters eyes are too small or that they have real noses and lips.

The fist of the north star Holywood film was epic! here less so

Spike literally wanted to shoot her and YES Faye was aggravated by the crew too. She was like that practically when they met.

I think Spike was getting a bit too annoyed.

Faye would annoy them and they would annoy her. When Ed and Ein came into the picture, Spike, Jet and Faye all were annoyed at the same person, Ed. Later on it seemed like Faye wasn't annoying them as much because Ed and Ein was getting on her nerves more and more. I think out of the three of them Faye spent more time with them on the ship, so the only person to talk with was her. Jet and Spike were going out more and more.

always? did u even watch the anime?

jet and spike are also misscasted.

You don’t need to consult the creator to tell this is absolute shit like out of anybody that could’ve played spike, they got a 5’8 middle aged man that can barely move his body.

That's all that needs to be known about this adaptation. Just make something inspired by it don't ruin what's already great.

It was a good call I was not and still not holding my breath for this series studios these days are so afraid to be adventurous and unique because the fucking cancel culture bullshit its sad

Look at the witcher. The creator was a consultant and the show has nothing to do with be books. And it shows. The show turned out to be very bad

@@Revan-eb1wb It was average. It wasn't the train wreck it could've been

@@humphreyegwangu7086 thank you

@@humphreyegwangu7086 that’s the one

@@humphreyegwangu7086 Shut up, fanboy.

Agreed.

You want someone who is recognizable and a veteran to play the most important character. There are younger nobody actors out there that could play spike but John Cho being there just sells it to alot of people. He’s the most recognizable actor in the show. I agree he’s a little too old to play spike, but same thing for witcher, I don’t think Henry Cavill was a good cast as Geralt but people watched the show because of him. Everybody else on the show was a nobody actor.

It really does feel like that.

@@kevinc.cucumber3697 uhhh okay? So that makes it fine to do? "Even if they don't do the part justice at all they should still cast these old dumbasses to sell the show" is what you basically said. Well it doesn't seem to be working, everyone hates john cho as spike because he isn't right for the role

The only thing that worries me about that is that they'll basically just rehash the ENTIRE soundtrack from the original and while that's not the worst thing they can do I'd love to hear new material from Yoko Kanno.

@@Daysleeper1990 We'll just have to wait and see. I mean a "reunion" of the Seatbelts is always welcome. But you're right would be nice to get some new tracks too.

@@Daysleeper1990 music that fits anime doesn't necessarily fit live action, so reuse won't be a good decision

@nemo pouncey They might be saving that to reveal within the show, remember the hacker episode she is a spoiler for those who don't know.

@@512TheWolf512 I don't think that applies in this case? So far they have been using the same tracks and it seems to fit so far. Or are you talking about literally the same tracks?

It works because you have someone with a fresh perspective. Two point of views.

AJ didn't watch Cowboy Bebop until right now. Your statement is correct except for in this instance right here and this is the video you posted it on lol.

I agree. You can't express the same vastness and multicultural settings as you can with animation the same way. CGI/VFX can obviously show you immense shots of planets, the space, enormous cities, but it is CGI/VFX, the places where they fight look like sets that can't compare to a fight happening in the streets between Spike and other bounty hunters, terrorists, criminals in the anime and feeling natural and real within its universe. Animation can do things LAs can't do and the other way around. That's why most anime LA adaptations have not worked at all...

Alita battle angel says otherwise

@@IskandarTheWack the highly praised and beloved adaptation of Alita, right?

@@cessare2467 Yeah? Are you triggered it didn't win an oscar? Alita: Battle Angel's live action had some of the best sets in the industry, and it's action scenes were literally exceptional. The only real issue with it tbh was the cringey love interest, but that's dealt with. The people and world of alita: battle angel was literally so lively and full of detail. If you want to smell your own farts, Oldboy is a manga, yet it's literally one of the best movies of all time, across the world. Sorry you saw neither of them.

@@IskandarTheWack Who mentioned Oldboy? Why bring it up? Alita adaptation is mediocre at best. Cliché as hell and it makes no justice to the manga at all. Who cares about the Oscars. Those shitty awards ain't something ppl should care yet you mention them for no apparent reason. It's pure spectacle. Being a generic Hollywood entertaining mediocre movie to me isn't a GREAT adaptation. It's a cliché Hollywood movie with unnecessarily gigantic eyes and generic lame "romance". And you talk about me being triggered despite not showing any sign of it, bringing Oldboy to the discussion, saying I haven't watched none because yes, mentioning the Oscars and saying the "smelling your own farts" bullshit. That's ironically what someone triggered would write. Well done dude.

Outlaw Star is the best.

Tbh iv enjoyed what iv seen

@@DragonHeart613 awsome :3

You'll carry the weight of your comment when it disappoints you.

I've seen this comment already on ign 🤔

Yeah Cho's spike feels like he's been bounty hunting for like 15 years and overtime he just got less charismatic. Faye is just cringe.. the actress is trying wayyyy tool hard to sound cool. Jet's actor is on point though so good for him. But yeah the writing is off honestly. It's like someone made a cool play and landed a 3 in basketball, then handed it to his little brother and the kid went all out trying his best to look just as cool.

It doesn’t need to be better than the anime. I don’t ever want to expect that from a live action translation.

Why does it have to be better than the anime?

It just need to be good enough not out so the original but it will get more views tho since it made today with a more potential bugger audience and more people will also watch the anime too so it a win win if done well

@@Jpow5734 if it’s worse than the anime then why does it even exist

@@orpheus3357 its not meant to replace it

It’s 2021, Netflix doesn’t sexualize women, only little girls.

@@707romo707 Lol true.

If they had done Faye right I would have been more on board with this new show. But like Joe said "She sticks out like a sore thumb" and is it's so obvious. I'm still going to give it a chance of course. I just know that what they're REALLY going to mess up though is Ed.

They changed her outfit for practical reasons. That thing does not work in live action when you need to do fight choreo or anything more complicated than walking around and taking photos. Actress and Faye cosplayers all said the same thing. Knock it off with your faux outraged "it's just not true to the character"; some shit just doesn't work live action

@@RPGManoWar ":practical reasons" lool. Yeah right, kiddo. Trll that to yourself. We are talking about netflix here, you ignorant plank

Well to be fair, in the the Death Note case, it was the director who went in with the mentality he was going to create his own "take" on the mythos, he didn't want to create a 1 to 1 adaption. At least in this case they 'seem' to have at least tried, to recreate what made the anime what it was. I also can't really put too much blame on Netflix itself, considering that Anime is really hard to reproduce in a live action fashion. Even Japanese studios fail hard in doing it. The only one I've seen that was slightly okay was Gantz, and that's because it at least carried the vibes, as cheesy as it was. FMA, Bleach, etc....etc... Were all really bad.

@@ar-yj8lb Yeah the Rurouni Kenshin live action was really well done. I think the Bleach one was the least upsetting one out of the other dumpster fire live actions Netflix tried to do.

@@ar-yj8lb It did but surprisingly didn't annoy me with how bad it was like the Fullmetal one did.

@@ar-yj8lbI know that's a hard one to get over and I wish I could forget it. It was such trash.

The actress and cosplayers that Alex quotes as saying "got it perfect" literally pointed out why they can't have the OG outfit; in live action, that thing is held together by literal pieces of tape. Cosplayers, all they have to get it to function is for photosets and walking around a con floor. If Faye is going to be flipping, doing fight choreography, etc. that outfit would literally fall apart and be a wardrobe malfunction every take. There's no agenda, it's just practical.

There isn't a realistic way to have the anime's outfit for Faye and still have her do the actions scenes fluently. Even though it all looks kinda stiff to me tbh. They could have done something closer to the original but it is what it is, I'm not losing sleep over it like some people are

@@RPGManoWar Alright. You can HAVE a practical outfit that doesn't HIDE her sexiness. She's wearing a yellow colored something under that jacket. Take off the jacket. Why be modest? That's not the character? Why those heavy boots and darker leggins that hide her skin? Also have you seen the show? How may flips and kicks has she done in the actual anime? How many fist fights did she actually get into? I don't remember any? she's usually running around a bit, or shooting her guns. I don't remember her do anymore then grab a dude and pull him towards her gun. Even did a simple search on youtube and not a single clip I see shows Faye actually in a fist fight or grappling anyone or throwing something down with pure strength. Because that's not her character. She's not that kind of fighter. Or really she's NOT a fighter at all.

Yo! At least the got the corgi right.

I think it was a marketing scheme to get people who were unsure if they should watch it to tune in to see how Ed looks like. Look how many people are asking where Ed is they know she is a popular character. Though now that I think about it not sure how that works when people will post her picture right away on twitter after the series.

@@Ilovegrunge123 yeah you could be right. I just have a bad feeling about Ed, especially after the actress that plays Fayke went after fans the way she did.

@@tyler4418 They had a similar character to Ed in the movie cargo by netflix and I thought the actress would make a good Ed. So there is a possiblity for them to have a character like that withouth making her trans or non binary. I was also thinking that maybe Ed is in the first season for a min and they didn't want to advertise her being on the show cause people would get mad thinking she had a bigger role.

@Chuck Buskee a lot of people

@Chuck Buskee tf does that even mean? 😂😂

What you're referring to is called Neo-Noir, it's a style of film, which both of those movies use, and also the one used by the original Cowboy Bebop anime, which is older than both of them. It's a genre that has been used by a lot of properties, including comics like Dick Tracey, games like LA Noire and Max Payne, anime like Outlaw Star, and movies like the ones you mentioned. It's not really an emulation of any given media property.

You're probably referring to Film Noir or Pulp and just don't understand what you're seeing.

@@Toraxa - I'm talking about the "shot in front of a green-screen" look - which makes it obvious the actors & their backgrounds don't blend well together. It's clear they're two seperate elements.

To live action?

To be propaganda for the woke.

@@USS_Sentinel yes. They’ve adapted Death note and Cowboy bebop and plan to adapt one piece. I mainly disagree with the latter because it sounds like a terrible idea for live action. I liked that they had all this anime coming in. Examples are: jojo’s bizarre adventure, Seven deadly sins, naruto, bleach, one piece [East blue and Arabasta sagas], soul eater, FMA, violet evergarden, Hunter x hunter, cowboy bebop, mobile suit gundam, record of ragnarok, Komi-san wa Komyushou Desu, demon slayer, promised neverland, the list goes on.

Yeah I'm excited for a new audience to get to enjoy the show we all loved, along with the reimagining of the series, it's going to be good for cowboy bebop overall

@@ArmaHipHopTV I wrote too much... Don't mind ppl not reading the whole thing. But whatever. It should be done correctly and i wouldn't dare to say they are doing this show just for the $$$ without working with a team and cast who will try their best to do it amazingly, but imo CB is as it is. No sequels. There's no need of a LA imo. CB works in big part because of the animation. It does things that you can hardly do in live action. Even with CGI and VFX, it's definitely not the same. There are so many surreal moments, moments that straight up go against physics, some comedic some just for the sake of having a nice flow. That, you can't put it into a live action without looking out of place. That's a big difference. Realism won't always be what a show looks form in terms of pacing and CB has that pacing and flow in fights, super high-speed surreal races and chases in spaceships that can't be done realistically because you need the spaceship to follow realistic physics (though unknown) in space. You have to express the weight of the metal, the reaction to physics. In CB they prioritize the pacing of the scenes through animation.

Hey man trying too hard can be good in the sense that, it gives it its own style in the sense that it is a parody of itself. Ex: speed racer movie was amazing and a top tier adaptation

@@Jezus14 I guess, though it would still be kind of a shame if the show ended up as essentially parody. Cowboy Bebop was a love letter to western writing, so there's some heavy irony there.

@@coranbaker6401 yeah no I feel you on the fear because honestly I'm just an optimist with hope that eventually Hollywood will get it right with these media properties, especially one as a classic as cowboy Bebop, I'm just trying to remain positive in a sense but you're totally right that if it is essentially a parody then it's just sad. I can just understand that they want to go a different route and set themselves aside from the anime rather than being just a live action rehashed summary that misses the key importance that the actual anime took the time to flush out. But I have hope.

He says as one of the highest grossing movies in the current top ten features Ana De Armas in a dress that leaves nothing to the imagination…

The man with the Top Hat, you saw him?! Cant wait to see that😲

With the new show, I think there is too much comedy, too much action. At least in this trailer, I mean. Cowboy Bebop often times also was calm, quiet, serene, and foreboding. And when it had funny moments, these were often also quiet, and the humour was less slacksticky and about witty comments. It was very situational and sardonic, especially between the cast.

I honestly like bebop the same way I like champloo, I would kill to watch the joe show do a thing over champloo

@@Jammet Thanks for the comment, I knew there was something off but I couldn't figure it out until I read what you posted. Bebop was not zany it was kind of tender and endearing with comedy elements happening to the crew. Especially Faye. She was sultry and calm but mostly kind of sad.

I think thats the way to go

@@steallydan5849 definitely. I'm going to do that with my cousin to see which one she likes better. Just for the opinion. What would the point of view of someone who has only seen the live action will be like!?

I feel like watching the anime first would be a much better experience. It's kinda like watching the Eragon movie before you tell someone to read the books. They're just going to be turned off of it if the movie sucks, but they're more likely to have fun with it if they already know about the characters and the general gist of the story.

@@NightmareBlade10 I think the live action first route is better. That way when they watch the anime they can be pleasantly surprised. I might try that with my gf.

@@NightmareBlade10 but the point is to have a fresh and an experienced perspective

It's probably because dubbing sucks

Agreed.

He always looks like that. To be honest if Joe replaces him no one would notice

@@qlm_gaming3614 It's sad that he looks like someone who's just doing his job but don't always love it. Like he's just an employee. I caught it earlier when he said he wasn't going to watch the trailer, and Joe replies "Yes you are" and laughed it off. Almost as if he was forced to, and this wouldn't be the first time.

Probably cause he mentioned that he loves Cowboy bebop and doesn’t feel all to happy watching Netflix turn it into a shitty live action, I don’t know maybe that’s why he looks like that. Probably don’t be a internet armchair physiologist rofl.

@@Seyanoo He hadn't even seen anything yet but was so sure it was a shitty live action series. You don't need to be a psychologist to observe body language and attitude.

Totally agree

Man I fucking love outlaw stars, such a good show.

All bow before the might of the caster gun

the original Ghost in the Shell movie also kind of sucks. it looks great but the story is paper thin and it is SOOOOO BORING. The second movie is way better. It nails the philosophical/exestential themes without putting you to sleep like the first movie.

The GITS live action's flaw was that the damned director didn't know what to stick to. It's as if the guy read the manga, watched the OG film, and looked at the Arise films all in one night before starting the project. And if that wasn't bad enough, he decided to put in his own little fanfiction, because god forbid directors set aside their ego and stay faithful to an existing work that'll forever be better than anything he could dream up.

U do know fay changes her outfit throughout the show right plus the trailer showed her have less coverage

The american live action death note is terrible but the Japanese two movie adaptation was fantastic. Had an excellent twist on the story in the second movie and did a great job of condensing it down to a shorter format. And i say this as someone who considers death note to be the best manga ive ever read.

@@djangofett4879 Intresting point, I personally cannot stand either of them as I cannot be convinced that Death Note can be condensed by maybe a couple of Anime episodes....but that is just me, I like the complex nature of Light's decent into madness and control and L's battle to discover his identity....and that to me cannot be told in 4 hours. I appreciate your position though and there were some aspects of the Japanese live action that did catch my eye, but they were fleeting for me.

It is done like this, so they don't get a copyright claim.

I got disappointed after I read about the intentions of those behind this live-action series. Woke social justice warriors that cannot change Japan, so they create these live action adaptations in order to change things as they see fit. So pretty much shoving their shitty agenda into popular shows and in our faces under the guise of adaptation. (For example: Faye's costume).
