Netflix: "No, Faye's anime attire is morally wrong & not allowed!" Also Netflix: *"Cuties"*

"People lost their jobs." Yeah, when you do a crap job you should lose it.

"Creator didn't want to make Faye overly sexualized" >adds a scene where Faye scissors a lady

I love how Faye’s actress looks at Faye cosplayers and still says “girls with her proportions don’t exist.”

The lady that played Faye went full on Brie Larson. When people had criticism, her response was to attack them. And just like captain marvel, she brought the entire franchise down with her. The same people that cry and moan about toxicity amongst fans always end up being some of the most toxic people of all

I am Japanese and I can explain why Japanese people who wanted to see Keanu Reeves to be Spike Spiegel. Simple in the first matrix Movie interview in Japan we ask what’s your favorite anime of all time and Keanu Reeves Said Cowboy Bebop so basically he’s a big fan of Cowboy Bebop that’s why many Japanese people who’s want to see him in the show.

Rest in peace, Keiko Nobumoto (13 March 1964 - 1 December 2021), the writer of Cowboy Bebop.

"The guy who voiced Spike gave me approval" Ah Gee. I wonder who would benefit if the show fails

Annoying actress: We want to correct the fundamental issues of anime *gets canceled after one season* Seems legit...

Netflix: "We don't want to overtly sexualise Faye." Also Netflix: "Faye needs to scissor a chick."

Can we take a moment to remember and pay our respects to Keiko Nobumoto? She wrote some of the greatest anime screenplays ever made, including Bebop, Samurai Champloo and Tokyo Godfathers. She was a legend and a genuinely talented person.

"We lost our jobs!" That tends to happen when you suck at it.

"If you're gonna do your own thing, make your own thing" PREACH MY BROTHER

This is why you don't mess with perfection. Original is the Monalisa of Anime. Netflix version reminds us why "Netflix version" is a derogatory phrase. God help Gundam.

To have Jet Black played by a black actor just to have a black joke about blackmail and black male. There. That scene alone tells you the state of today's entertainment.

-How cowboy bebop started: -“Netflix’s Cowboy Bebop is a faithful adaptation.” -“It corrects the mistake of the anime!” -“It was never supposed to be good.” -How’s it going : (Netflix Cowboy Bebop gets canceled) Japan: (Unending laughter and mockery)

Remember when the sonic movie trailer came out, people complained and the studio actually listened. Amazingly people stopped shitting on them. All they had to do was stfu and listen to their customers

Netflix: "Let's do a 'To Kill a Mockingbird' movie remake!" Woke writer: "Sure! Let's start by making sure no one is racist." Gundam: "..."

“Just because you have the ability to speak, does not make you intelligent” - Qui-Gon Jinn

The NETFLIX adaptation made so many things wrong, as I discussed with my brother: 1. The three main characters are all at the end of their adventure, their past is either forgotten, unsuccessful, or frustrated. What we see is a group of people who already died in the past, but their bodies continued, so they simply became bounty hunters mostly due to inertia. That is why Ed leaves them at the end, because she and Ein are the only ones with actual hope for a future. The adaptation broke this theme by giving Jet a daughter, now he actually has a reason to live, whereas in the anime he only lived because he lacked a reason to die. 2. Faye in the anime IS sexualized, she is indeed drawn in that way, and she knows and uses it to her advantage. She never hides that she is hot, she is not ashamed of it, and she even works towards preserving her looks. That is not the only thing she is, she is also a skilled gunsmith, a skilled scammer, an outstanding pilot, and all of this while being both cosmopolitan and impulsive. There is NOTHING WRONG about a woman protagonist being hot just as there is nothing wrong about male protagonists also being hot. THAT IS THE POINT, it is pleasant to see that and we all know is good looking, so it makes for great pictures and scenes. In NETFLIX, they made her an average looking lady (which is honestly not a deal breaker) and also made her a big mouth-cocky-dumb and dirty mouth character. Yikes. 3. They are not trying to make character that fit the universe, they are trying the universe to fit their characters, character which follow their agendas. That is why Julia became the "strong woman that stands up against man," Green became "the trans person who is proud to be who he really is," Jet is black because "we need a black character guys, we are not racist am I right," Faye is bad spoken because "women can act as they please, because fEmInIsM," etc. In the real universe of Cowboy Bebop, trans people exist because there is a planet without women, there are people from all races around depending on the location, women are strong because they had to learn how to survive even though they are still at a physical disadvantage, etc. The universe is not compatible with their characters, so they changed the universe. 4. "Fearless." Who the hell thought it was a good idea to name Spike as fearless? 5. Vicious was a total bitch, whereas in the anime he was a skilled swordsman who jumped into battle confident and fearless (lol). They fu*ed up big time.

"Netflix's 'Cowboy Bebop' isn't supposed to be good." The copium is so dense it rivals a collapsing star. I can understand some imperfections but they are basically telling us "Just accept the awful show, ya bigot."

The worst part of this saga (and this video dropping today) is that we found our the screenwriter for the original anime passed away from cancer on the 1st. The worst part of that is that said screenwriter was A WOMAN, who script vision was bastardized by shitlibs who claimed to be bastardizing it in the name of "bodiez & raypresuntayshun"

I will say this with 100% accuracy. Her comments and her attitude were the reason I never wanted to see this. Spitting in the face of fans like that just isn't how you gain support.

What I hate most about these Netflix adaptations is that those involved in creating them usually have this insufferable smugness and seem to believe that their version is the better than the original.

Imagine remaking a classic and totally ignoring the feedback of the actual writer of the original series, inconceivable arrogance.

the biggest death nail was when the original author said basically i want nothing to do with this not my responsibility or fault the creator himself

When an IP is still well known decades after it ended, that means it's being held up by a rather hardcore audience, which is also rather niche. They're hardcore for a reason. Like any dedicated fanbase, they've analyzed every episode and listed every aspect of the characters. You can't just adapt it without respecting the lore and expect the built in audience to gobble it up just because you've made a new TV show with the same title. When you changed these characters, you've automatically lost the core audience you were claiming to be aiming for, and without them, who else is left to watch it?

"we'll try again tomorrow!" Vicious would've looked Julia in the eyes, walk up to the barrel of the gun and push his forehead against it and then tell her to pull the trigger. Vicious didn't need to have alot of dialogue and you knew how badass he was. In my opinion, they did vicious the worst in the show.

"It's not going to ruin Cowboy Bebop. You'll always have the original." Yep. You got your wish. Everyone will watch the original and not the trash you made.

"If you're gonna do your own thing, make your own thing." Well they knew doing their own thing wasn't going to sell, so they had to disguise it. And it still failed.

I went back to school to study screenwriting, and I can tell you... you are very correct about college writing students.

Just remember, Netflix really thought making a woke, live action reboot of Cowboy Bebop would bring in more viewers and make more profit than making a 3rd season of Altered Carbon

“Steve Blum gave me his blessing.” Girl, Steve Blum set your ass up. If someone gives you the green light to attack the fans, know that you’re cannon fodder.

Faye had so much to her story that the fact that the actor only addressed sexual parts of her means that actor didnt even watch the anime Jesus. Also please dont say they are doing Yuyu I may drink myself to death on that day....

"If you love that type of attitude in a cartoon why wouldn't you love it in real life?" ... She plays Faye. She has to know Faye is fucked up, made a lot of bad decisions, is wrong a lot of the time. She's not someone you could trust or want to be friends with when we first meet her and she has a lot of growing to do. Faye is NOT someone you should aspire to be like in real life. She has to know that while Faye is 2D on screen, she's written very much as a 3D character and suffers terrible demons which her attitude is a projection of as her way of staying competitive and protected in the lethal world she immerses herself in. Her logic fails even when you remove the Faye aspect. Look at most gritty femme fatale characters in anime. I fucking love Revy from Black Lagoon as possibly my all time favorite femme fatale but I'd never want to be in the same room, let alone same building as her. Holy. Shit.

I also love how they take these shows and just add more swearing and sex. Why do you need to do that? I don't want that.

"Netflix's Cowboy Bebop isn't meant to be good." 🤣🤣🤣 I still can't believe that article title, weeks after hearing about it. Did they... did they honestly think that was going to _HELP!?_

I think you hit the nail on the head. The actress telling you, that you are wrong even before people had seen the show was the biggest pre show mistake. My guess is she's either no longer an actress or at the very least will now have a ''don't fucking speak'' clause in her contract.

Pineda thought she was being so clever with the whole "sorry I didn't match Faye anatomically" bit, and then proceed to list off measurements that are *completely wrong.* Just goes to show that she had no idea, *at all,* what the character was and why people had a problem with the adaption's version of Faye. People didn't give a shit about her body measurements, it was the *outfit* that people didn't like.

The changes to Julia could never be mistaken as anything other than a giant middle finger to the anime. Zero respect, nothing but mocking egotistical narcissism. Right down to her vomit inducing smirk and vicious whimpering. Edit: glad to see you agree with the inclusion of someone vomiting at the scene

So I'm supposed be good with them making Faye gay which totally changes her motivations, making Vicious weak which changes the entire story, with completely changing Julia the driving force behind Spike's character, and with turning the gay character trans because reasons? Then they try to convince me they are "fixing" problems with something they didn't create. That's a no from me. As for her saying I should feel sorry for her losing her job, did she show the same empathy for the thousands that lost their job when the pipeline was shutdown? By her bio, I'm going to guess no.

I'm confused. Kevin Smith assured me "Netflix doesn't care". They already screwed you out of your money, so the quality of the show, viewership, cost.. doesn't matter to them. Kevin Smith wouldn't lie, would he?

"You can't take Gone With the Wind and turn it around" Don't fucking give them any ideas Gundam!

Been waiting 3 weeks to say this one. *deep inhale* _See You Space Cowboy_ *blasts "Ding Dong the Witch is Dead"*

I feel like whoever handled this adaptation actually hates women. Really. They did not even try to understand Faye and Julia (all the women, really) they ruined them. The plot of Cowboy Bepop doesn’t work without those characters. Like, how dare these characters be feminine? Julia’s and Faye’s traits didn’t make those characters bad or weak it made them interesting and relatable. Sorry y’all are threatened by a woman being soft or sexy or vulnerable or whatever. I’m so tired of the same type of of “strong independent women lesbian characters” being churned out like… it’s so boring and it’s not compelling at all. There’s nothing relatable or real there. you guys are just writing men with a woman on the outside. If you don’t like woman you can just say that and to write more male characters. I’m curvy. I have the DD chest and little waist and big hips and butt Daniela claims doesn’t exist. I didn’t ask to be born with this body. Characters like Faye or Tifa from FF7 made me feel okay about myself when I felt like I didn’t fit the mold and people always had something to say about my body like they knew me and like it was bad. They want representation but only when it suits them. It makes me mad. It makes me feel like the things that make me ME are bad and shameful. That’s the kind of message that’s communicated to me when I see another adaptation like this. I don’t know why I’m ranting here. I wish I was as cohesive and smart as gundam but that’s why I like listening to him. When I talk about to to other people they make me feel invalid and stupid which is just annoying. Thanks for making me feel less crazy, gundam.

Everyone in Japan was laughing at this all the way till it was canceled 😂

Classics dont need a remake. They are classics because they are perfect stories that told something great.

No accountability. If they haven’t already, they’ll be blaming the fans for the reason this adaptation failed.

13:10 It's literally the exact opposite. Julia is an actual person in the anime. She is a ranked member of the Syndicate just like Vicious and Spike, and makes the conscious decision to protect Spike by going on the run herself. She is never portrayed as a "sexy lamp" and in fact her actions alone drive a lot of the Syndicate storyline. In the adaptation, not only is she portrayed as Vicious' prized possession for most of the series, but when the twist happens and she is revealed as an antagonist, BY HER OWN WORDS IT IS NOT THE RESULT OF HER OWN ACTIONS BUT OF SPIKE'S.

The fact that she calls faye 6 foot tall, tells you a lot about how much women project. Every time ive seen someone say that a woman must be tall to be hot, that someone has been another woman. In my experience most men prefer a short, cute, woman

I loved staying up late to watch Cowboy Bebop on Toonami when I was in HS. I thought Faye Valentine's outfit was immodest, and I would _never_ wear something like that, but I recognized that that was part of her character: she uses not just her wits and skills, but her _looks_ to get her way. After all, it's probably easier to pickpocket a guy staring at your mahoongabaloongas than trying to knock him out, esp. if you're *5'6".* As you said, she was a femme fatale, a honeypot, as it were. If the actress didn't wanna show off that much skin, I totally get it (although maybe _check out who you're gonna play_ first), but they could've made the outfit closer to the original anyway.

“He looks like Lurch from Addams Family cosplaying as Alucard from Castlevania….” That’s gold.

I believe that Keanu was a huge fan of the original series and said that he'd love to play Spike if it ever got a live-action adaptation

"It's a love letter to the anime" ... she means the kind of love letter that is made using cut-up letters and glue, and is stuck to your front door with a bowie knife.

They ruined Gren and Julia. They made Julia a spiteful harpy, Vicious a cvck, and Gren a vapid stooge

"consider having an ounce of compassion or empathy" I don't think I will.

Gotta love all the people coming out the woodwork to say the show is some underrated masterpiece murdered by overly obsessive anime fans. They took a philosophical, Noir series and added dick jokes and Marvel banter.

This should be a lesson to all studios: if an IP is already iconic and people unanimously agree that it’s a classic, DONT UPDATE IT OR REBOOT IT. All we get is a soulless cash grab that misses why the original was so poignant.

I just wanted to point out that Julia being with vicious was literally used as a joke in the original it was so ridiculous in the og anime.

The anime never managed to make me want to watch the next episode but... am I the only one thinking the fact the writer is the daughter of a Netflix VP should've been more emphasised ?

> Guy who made one of the most iconic and beloved anime ever gives feedback on your live action adaptation of his work. > Netflix writers who have accomplished nothing of value so far: "Why would we listen to you?" > Media: Netflix fixes the wrongs of the Anime! > Show gets criticised. > Media: B-but it was a love letter! Suuure ...

It's pretty amazing how almost every 'franchise' has been destroyed in the last few years, and largely for the same fundamental reasons.

When the Fay actress said she didn't look like Fay, the obvious reaction was "Then you shouldn't be playing her" but that's not in her favour and so she went on the offensive and went to war. But when a show goes to war with the audience it never goes well...

People have pointed out that this Netboy script supervisor also tweeted that she was happy ABC canceled Castle because she didn't like its messaging. What goes around 🤷‍♂️

Daniella Pineda sincerely missed the mark. How tf are you going to claim to be in the spirit of a "strong willed woman" when you do something as absolutely asinine as this? An actual "strong-willed woman who does what she wants" is smart about what she does and does what she wants when she KNOWS she has the upper hand. Newsflash, anyone considered "strong" irl is because they know exactly when and where to show it -- it's called being socially aware. You can't just call yourself a "strong-willed woman" when you're at the bottom hurling terribly petty insults to the ones at the top. Come on.

About a month ago, I saw an almost one hour video called A Painfully Honest Review of Netflix Cowboy Bebop. After watching it and others, it was a no brainer that there was no reason for Cowboy Bebop to be remade, and there definitely is not a reason for this remake to get another season. Cosplayers that saw the show once decades ago could have made a better show.

This is exactly how I feel and what Amazon did with The Wheel of Time series. They changed character backgrounds and motivations added new scenes (then said they didn't have time to do a proper book to screen adaptation) and completely changed the lore and magic system. The had to completely woke it up and diminish all the male characters and play up the females. The also leaned heavy into the LGBT aspect. I don't have any issues with strong female characters and LGBT characters as long as it serves the story. They took an amazing story and fucked it up. Unfortunately some of the fandom is stupidly supportive of it though. It is all the more "progressive" types that love the "representation" in the show and are happy to have anything Wheel of Time ish even if it goes completely against the books and wishes of the author who didn't like people changing his stories and characters to the point of legal action for fanfiction when he was alive. Rafe Judkins (the show runner) ignored one of the authors suggestions not to change the story. It's a fucking mess.

So to apply the "have a god damn ounce of compassion or sympathy." logic to another scenario: a dodgy building company slaps together dozens of houses. Three weeks after people move in the roofs all start leaking, the foundations crack, the mortar in the walls crumbles and the front and back fucking doors fall off their hinges. Obviously the company and all it's lazy, feckless arsehole employees lose their jobs. How the hell is anyone meant to feel sorry for said arseholes? If you do a spectacularly shitty job you get fired!

I went to thanksgiving dinner with my family. Two of them said, and I quote "We watched the original cowboy bebop, and we think the live netflix version is the better one." I just nodded and went right back to drowning myself in alcohol poisoning.

"You can't ruin Cowboy Bebop" Netflix- "oh can't we, hold our beer you bigots"

14:03 - Nice film reference there! That was one of my favorite parts in "My Dinner with Aundre 🍽" ^_^!

Netflix have been cancelling their actually good shows for couple years "for costing too much" or some other bs. Yeah making something good costs, you can take that money and make 4 bad shows but what does that get you.

The sad part is Daniella doesn't look bad; she just didn't want to go along with the character

A wise man once said “Everything woke turns to shit”

That's how truly privileged people are. They live in a bubble where they tell YOU what to like. IN THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY! All Netflix proved was that just looking pretty is useless. Fay is beloved because she was strong and independent and used what she had, her looks, smarts and bravery to risk it all on a big gamble because she lost EVERYTHING. The actress didn't even take a DAY to watch the show to know what Fay is about, saying the things she had are so anti Fay it could only backfire. And she blames US for her incompetence.

Netflix: That costume is impossible Cosplayers: Hold my beer

You could tell that Daniella was absolutely chomping at the bit to use her "platform" to address social ills. She couldn't wait to kick the hornet's nest and then show how stunning and brave she is. However, she was cast to type. Nu-Faye is a shrill harpy, not a femme fatale.

The love letter comment always makes me laugh. Cowboy bebop is like one of the first 5 anime that gets recommended to you when you ask people what anime you should watch. It doesn’t need a creatively bankrupt western entertainment company to put it on the map.

Exactly what you said: Not a single "fan" of Cowboy Bebop is sad this was trashed.

Daniella should be brought up on charges for how badly she disrespected the series, the fans, an especially how she butchered a classic anime character beloved by many.

This is what happens when you hire people based on how woke they are

I feel like the scene where Spike asks Jet if he can kill Faye could be seen as a metaphor for this entire situation

So basically she Brie Larsoned her own show! Lmfao 🤣

@22:18 "Goddam, the Japanese love Keanu Reeves" NETFLIX: A series with him would be breathtaking! KEANU: Don't even think about it!

Isn't it so charming how the chick who played Faye gets out of the shower with her makeup perfectly done? What a lucky woman.

This is what you get when you don’t respect the fandom.

You nailed it! Google is messing with search results to put original shows and material on page two with newer adaptations on page one. Its like the next generation is trying to be engineered

Love this guy. He’s like if Marc Maron was a gamer who also wasn’t weirdly progressive.

Brother...I know there are times when you get discouraged about the way that Susan has gutted your channel...BUT...the fact that your intelligence has enabled you to work around it, and you have retained your relevance. Just know that your fans do appreciate you, and we thoroughly enjoy your content. Keep on doing you, my friend. Peace ✌

The absolute hubris. They 'Cancel' people for fun on a daily basis, but when they lose their job because it flops hard they dare to say we're cruel for being happy about. All those people you cancelled had families to support and talent to make something of actual quality.

Finding Cowboy Bebop on Toonami was one of the best things that happened to me when I was in middle school

If it werent for the changes to Grin and Juila it woulda been salvagable, like an Adam West Batman for Bebop. We all knew Faye was gonna be rewritten as soon as it was announced.

Danielle committed career suicide on another level. She not only destroyed her career but the show in less than a month. Shes a fantastic example of what not to do. At all.

How many love letters start out with "I'm going to fix you?" If this is a love letter, I can't help but think of that Sailor Moon movie where Ami gets an allergic reaction everytime she receives one.

The bullies that use to beat is are now telling is we are all trolls and manbabbies

Your point about members of the crew not having the humility to recognize the show might be canceled is a valid one. Patrick Stewart is on record as saying he lived out of his suitcase for weeks at the beginning of Star Trek Next Generation because he thought the show could be canceled.

People forget that Cowboy Bebop was planned to have a live action movie way back in the day with Keanu playing Spike. That woulda actually been awesome!

Perfect analogy- ‘they took Wendy’s chicken samich and turned it into a veggie burger’ cuz thats what they like, and thats what you’re supposed to like and an idiot if you don’t- according to them.

Hollywood is like King Midas, except that everything that they touch turn into shit rather than gold.

"What the hell is this?" -What it looks like...is an abandoned jar of pee, which has spilled/leaked onto the table.
