      I didn't necessarily like the way the movie adapted the comic, to be honest. I mean, Scott is *awful*. But in the comics, he's very likeable. I didn't find Michael Cera's portrayal of the character nearly as likeable.
      My more serious frustration with the movie is that it doesn't do enough to hammer home that Scott is terrible. You can walk out of that movie and feel like the intended message was that Scott was a great guy who did the awesome hero stuff. Rather than, y'know, ultimately well-meaning but at least kind of awful, just like Ramona.

      Lot's of iconic parts of history are adaptations, tim burton had to make a movie about a billionaire who dressed up like like a bat and had a collection of bat themed tools to fight a clown. The general public seemed to ignore the cartoon goofiness of comic star batman taking to the silver screen. The Godfather was literally just adapting a majority of the book to the film, the author had no screenplay experience and after it did well he bought a book to learn how. It told him to study the book he already wrote because it was so clearly a perfect screenplay. It's VERY EASY to adapt something....UNFATHOMABLY EASY... we're just told time and time again that the director wasn't lazy, unfaitful, and totally wasn't just making up his own thing instead, no its just toooooo harrrrd to make it faithful because of how weird an different it is.

    • @leithaziz2716
      @leithaziz2716 3 года назад +22

      I feel like DmC is a different beast alltogether. It starts out insulting fans of the original DMC series ("Not in a million years..."), then backtracks at the end, give us the Dante Vs Vergil fight (but nowhere near as compelling as in 3) and then just makes Dante look like his DMC counterpart. So it ends up making the team look like hypocrites.
      At least with this show, it SEEMS like the creators have a lot of respect for the original, like they're working on a much more personal/passionate product.

    • @GIZMONDO987
      @GIZMONDO987 3 года назад +19

      Yeah that's kinda the thing with a lot of these sorts of adaptions (or reboots in the case of games like DMC:Devil May Cry or that Castlevania GOW rip-off) honestly: The end product mightn't be necessarily bad/could actually be good.... if they weren't adaptions/reboots. Because then even with the best faith look at it, it is still an adaption/direct interpretation (even if a bad interpretation) of The Thing, and its kinda hard Not to compare it to what its aping a lot of stuff from, even if In Name Only. Whereas if it was something Inspired by Cowboy Bebop or what-have-you, you could go "Well it wears its inspirations on its sleeve", but otherwise could take it as its own thing.
      This isn't a jab at people unhappy with the adaption btw: if anything it's a jab at the production companies deciding on this stuff (especially when some of the live-action adaptions Japan does frankly aren't that great either, and they're a lot closer to the source material).
      Just make something "inspired by" The Thing instead of something they know right well isn't going to be viewed well by dint of it being an adaption.

    I don’t think Paige counts to the normie perspective sadly. Paige both likes and respects animation, and even if she hasn’t watched bebop, she definitely has watched anime and probably has seen clips of bebop in some form. I know my dad seems to be enjoying the live action show, and when I pushed him to watch the original he said “I don’t like animation”. That’s more likely the crowd that will enjoy the show for better or worse

In essence these generations were by and large warped against consuming particular types of media in order to fit into their generation or be "cool".

      I fucking knew he was literally just Barret when they made him black. I like Barret but I like Jet as well so I don't think it's so good they would replace him.

      @Steven Luoma both shows went into how he was originally on the force until certain circumstances caused him to become a bounty hunter. the logic for bebop was likely he used to be a family man and since he still wants to support said family even though his wife divorced him & he still wants to do some good, he went with being a cowboy.

      @Steven Luoma never said what he's doing in the netflix version was the smartest choic, also he's not providing for his family, that's what the new husband is doing, he's just basically visiting his daughter on the weekends and trying to buy her a birthday gift

    Glad to see there are still directors out there who love and respect the work of Uwe Boll and Paul Anderson and continue creating insulting adaptation for beloved media.

      i still say Uwe Boll is overhated. as a director. his movies are mediocre at worst and i will die on that hill. as a person though, he might even be underhated. awful human being.

      You’ll still fine weeb puritans who say they suck. I think they’re the best efforts from the west. It’s not like the majority of Japanese live action adaptations are any better, Bleach, FMA and Attack on Titan are all pretty dumb.

    You know what they should have done with the extended run time of the Cowboy Bebop series: done what Twin Peaks: The Return did and devote a few minutes each episode to a musical performance and languorous reveling in the cool jazz for which the anime was most celebrated.

    It’s a different kind of disappointment for me at least. They literally had all the tools there, they just decided not to do it right….and it pisses me off

    As someone who just so happened to start watching the anime a week before this live action came out, I have to say that I turned on the live action, watched that opening heist scene, and immediately got bored and went back to finish the anime

    An article titled "Netflix's Cowboy Bebop Isn't Supposed to be Good" recently came out from Motherboard. You know a show is bad when the paid off/ early access bloggers and journos can't even bullshit their way into claiming it's good.
