La Creatura!!! (The reason they love the streaming model is not only does it keep the plebs from owning, but it also allows them to shit out tripe like this and not take a hit in their bottom line when it bombs). oy vey.

She did her best, the problem is you cannot translate the wacky behaviors of anime characters into 3d for whatever reason.

Tell me the exact moment she fucks up does and Ed-like behavior incorrectly? I can't find any, she is otherwise a 1:1 interpretation of the character.
It's just, Ed doing weird autistic shit in 2d comes off as innately less cringe than an actual person doing it, probably for the same unexplained reasons for uncanny valley.

I don't think you're wrong, but the alternative for most people is "well then make them a different character entirely". You'd need to have a writers room meeting to tackle the problem of translation, but that's asking too much these days since all these writers are lazy hacks.
>>
>>285380546
I'm not really disagreeing with you because I'm not an Ed fan, like even in the original anime, and so like you said someone portraying the character in reality will inevitably come off as cringe and unrealistic because that's what the character is.

But I do think something that makes the original anime character a little more tolerable than expected is that she has a surprisingly cute/chill voice (both in Japanese and the English dub since I think they honestly sound pretty similar). Like you'd expect a character who acts like she does to constantly be in super annoying screeching hyper retard mode but she actually sounds like a pretty cute kid most of the time and somehow that offsets some of the weirdness of her behavior sometimes, even speaking as a h8r.

I'm not really shitting on the actor because they're a kid and probably didn't have the best direction, other characters got adapted worse, etc., but it felt like they were mostly just yelling and not really playing around with the voice as much as could've been done to make the character feel a little more tolerable to the audience despite being written as annoying in-universe.
>>
>>285380832
I think in the ideal scenario that the show had better casting and better direction and writing (everything really) they would basically just tone down, or otherwise alter Ed's behavior to fit the character without dredging up that uncanny cringe.
Like she can be autistic and immature, but not at her usual levels of dancing around that simply looked terrible in 3d.

It would be hard to convey in words exactly, but I'd say focusing on the quirks of other mentally unhinged weirdo women in media to get a grounded idea would have helped.

You know, now that I own a Corgi I'm realizing Ein is fucking fat. People need to stop feeding their corgis so god damn much my corgi is considered a normal weight and she's not nearly as fat as corgis I see posted on social media.

Also Ein doesn't bark nearly as much as corgis do in the series, maybe that's due to his genetic engineering but it doesn't portray them correctly.

The pembroke is incredibly vocal.

>>285381030
>>285381000
It's ironic that the black guy is the only one that actually feels like the character due to matching Beau Billingslea's(who is also black) performance in the dub.
>>
>>285381149
To be fair Ein in the anime is drawn in a way where he doesn't really look like a corgi even though he's meant to be one. Like he's not as cute as they are in reality
>>
Theres another universe where this is a phenomenon and Netflix One Piece died after one season.
>>
>>285380582
Fuck you too. Scarlett Johansson did great as major. Next thing best adaptation after Edge of Tomorrow, Alita, Kenshin. All of you are fags
>>
I'm thankful that it didn't make it.
>>
>>285381249
I'd agree, but Scarlett Johansson cut her booba off at that point which is a direct detraction from the kind of character Major is, having large breasts.

Thus, we will still despise the casting.
>>
>>285381297
Oh problem is johannson had an issue being nude. If she was really major, being naked means nothing since it's not her body

>>285380546
Ed is literally based on Yoko Kanno, an actual 3D woman.
>>
>>285381249

>>285381201
What do you mean? Ein looks like your bog standard Pembroke (Though his head coloration is a bit off breed standard). Albeit he looks a tad overweight.

He's even docked, which I find strange given the current circumstance of his existence in the series.
Pembrokes got their tails removed as a breed standard, a tradition starting as a way for people in the UK to avoid a tax against pet owners by claiming their companion animals as working dogs (All working dogs regardless of breed got their tails removed as a form of protection and symbol that they weren't pets).

I'm wondering if the writers knew this, or just assumed like so many dumb Pembroke owners I met that they were born this way (I swear this is a lie told to people by breeders, I've had arguments where boomers claiming "Nah my dog was born that way" in an aggressive way when I imply their tails were cut off as puppies).
I never did it to my Corgi, and though she is mistaken for a Cardigan because of it, I don't think docking is necessary and their tails are cute.

Of course she has an issue. It's not because "oh my body is worth too much to be seen naked" because she was fine doing it in that movie where she was covered in black body paint playing an ayy lmao that steals skin.

It's because reductions leave nasty scars for life which no woman ever thinks about when they get the surgery and having never admitted to doing it she probably dreaded the press on it.
So yeah, double whammy when casting her as Major.

In all honesty if they wanted her to be perfect for the role she should have been casted right after The Island when she was peak. Ghost in the Shell would have been more relevant in that era anyway.

>>285381719
No that would be a mastectomy, which is a total removal of all breast tissue and then they put in an implant to fill the skin. It ironically has far less external scarring.

No she got a reduction, probably for meme reasons. All women who do it have some insane meme reason. They'll scream back pain if you're a guy questioning it but view it as a form of achieving conformity and achieving clothing access among girl exclusive discussions about it.

She probably though she could get more roles with a more basic chest, who the fuck knows she's middle aged now anyways.

By DBZ western adaptation are we talking about the Evolution film or is there some new abomination slop that exists?

It's important to post actual clips showing the insides of those sorts of shows because people dissing them haven't watch the show and people praising them haven't watched the show either.

Vicious technically doesn't have a canon background, like official Japanese promo stuff always says stuff like "Place of Origin: Unknown" about him compared to Spike explicitly being from Mars, which in Bebop is more Chinese-coded. So I guess there's more of an argument that you can cast Vicious as whatever race and it doesn't matter. Obviously the Netflix casting was bad though

I'd assume they're both Asian but lately I see this fanartist (Asian) who headcanons Vicious as a whiteboi in the triads who gets disrespected by his Chinese masters because of his race and actually that's sort of funny
