REAL

Why couldn’t they do that with a good adaptation though? It would probably be easier to just make less dramatic changes to the script

thank you so much!

You're not gonna believe this

idk how to tell you this...

gotta agree! spike and jets scenes together were also my highlight with the show haha, thanks for the comment!

Resident Evil has always faced diarrhea by fans who are more casual than even these rejects of hollywood novel adaptation. I tune out entirely from the TMNT 1987 generation attempting to argue that "faithful adaptation is what moves units". Except, I do tune in for the aggressively delusional takes in the sense that, it worries me how standard this double think has become. They don't realize that AFAIK, every SINGLE big and succesful IP is based on GARBAGE faihfulness, and pushing a decently known IP to bigger numbers by INGORING the Jeff Albertsons of the world. Who? Look it up. Spongebob is a Ren and Stimpy ripoff, Zorro was offensively watered down to be Batman promo that's worse than Mattel Star Wars printed on everything, and the ENTIRETY of Western cinema is just based on Samurai myths that don't even make THAT little sense in the Old West setting, despite iaido battles themselves never being much like guns at noon duels. I wish Alan Moore predicted right and we'd just have "pirates" wearing all the modified military uniforms that now are "the super hero" myth. The historical illiteracy is just baffling, straight-up Michael Bay tier. Both history as such, and the media litearcy of understanding the logistics of cartoon marketing, which is recent economic history.

@@sboinkthelegday3892 Dude what the fuck are you talking about

The Vicious storyline on its own made the show unwatchable

hard agree! cowboy bebop is so special to me personally and it made tackling this version a challenge for sure haha. i also think there is redeeming qualities to be found in the netflix version, i tried to be as fair as possible. thanks for the nice comment :)

thanks so much for the nice comment! i love the way you wrote about spike, it's a brilliant way to look at his character.

thanks for the comment and thoughts! i def give their one piece props, i was seriously shocked by how solid it is. it's a great approachable way to get into the series and all around is genuinely a great show. i also agree 1:1 isn't the right play for these adaptations. i had a bit about it in the vid but yeah it's really strange how sometimes they're able to pull them off and sometimes they just miss the mark entirely LOL. never heard of three-body but it seems really cool, i'll have to check it out! thanks again :))

It's because they have adolescent view of the world, which translates to One Piece's static status quo, permanent characters that don't truly grow and change. Child's idea of living the same moment permanently because your short life is nothing but that. It's easy to just adapt BS and keep rolling on in One Piece universe. But Spike is written in a fleeting moment in time, it's a precarious position of late-20's midlife crisis of a childish guy burning up fast. Like Romeo and Juliet's love, possible only for a moment, and etched into their tombstone. Casting Spike as 40 is like casting Satou from Welcome to NHK as 40, and people don't even understand HIM as being ONLY 20 and functionally as much a kid as Misaki is. Satou can move on BECAUSE he still has life in front of him, and many WtNHK critiques have expressed frustration of showing a peachy picture of "being able" to "turn your life around". Which is NOT true, the life was tunred FORWARD while there still was time. That's also what Cyberpunk anime was able to capture, rather than wasn't able. What really kids need to watch is Welcome to the Ballroom. THAT is a sports anime about EVERYTHING you need in everything, not just the male thirst for strong role models.

One Piece - was made by people who loved the source material. The only changes they made were out of necessity to condense the East Blue Arc to a reasonable length for streaming Cowboy Bebop - was clearly made by people who hated the original and thought they were fixing it. Avatar - was made by people who enjoyed the original but are incompetent and don’t understand it’s appeal to general audiences on any level One Piece was the only one of these adaptations that didn’t feel like some bizarre act of hubris on the part of the creators with how far it went to mess with beloved source material

YOU JUST GET IT!!!!!

any time!

Video Game Highschool! made by rocket jump and it holds up great. you should def give it a watch!

ON IT

Apparently spike is supposed to be jewish

I don’t care that Spike is Asian. But while I was actually one of the people who defended his casting before the show began … John Cho is too old to play Spike. Spike needed to be played by someone in his 30s. Spike reads older than Jet & that’s just wrong. It’s hard to even touch on the casting of Faye because she’s such an awful character in this adaptation. I’m not familiar with Pineda’s other work. Maybe she could have played Faye Valentine if that is the character she’d been asked to play. But she’s playing “Welcome to the ouch m*therf*ckers!” instead

🤔

They wouldn't have the balls to do it right, anyway.
