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.
>>285377215You didn't have to.
>>285377215I wish you hadn't.
>>285377270The equivalent to shitting out tripe before streaming was buying the rights to a popular show and airing nonstop reruns on your channel instead of the other guys channel, it wasn't much better.
Somebody at shitflix thought this was going to be the next big thing.
>>285377215It was bad enough to be unintentionally funny so it might've been entertaining if it continued, even if not for the intended reasons
>>285377850The world's oldest 24 year old
>>285377702At least it wouldn't be reruns of what OP posted
They they have Vicious at some point talking about eating a guy's balls?
>>285378149A different guy eats the ballsVicious (and Spike) talk about shaving balls
>>285378149>>285378206
>>285377270Being able to take creative risks is a good thing, arguably the only good thing about this subscription model.
WELCOME TO THE OUCHI should rewatch the video someone uploaded to Youtube where they added a laugh track.
>>285378062They could hire Mackenyu or Andrew Koji, both handsome young men that can do their own stunts, but some out-of-touch exec thought they needed John Cho for legitimacy
>>285378242I wish I could be a Netflix executive and greenlight big budget live action parodies like this. No IP would be safe from me.
>>285377215Post the memes.
Didn't Keanu Reeves own the rights to this?

>>285379178Jackie ChanUhhh
>>285377215This is one of the many reasons as to why westerners (Americans) shouldn't be allowed to touch any Japanese IPs.
>>285379178It doesn't make things everybody praises, that's the whole point. That's the sort of environment that makes hidden gems and future cult classics.
>>285377215Poor kid, didn't deserve the hate.
>>285379411Her getting fired on her birthday will always make me chuckle.

>>285379553Xir. Excuse me.
>>285379545I wouldn't know, I don't watch Netflix.
>>285379545Jackie ChanUmmUhhhh
I hope there's a documentary one day about the colossal fuckup that was this show
>>285379204>>285379583Please stop humping your tulpa in public.
>>285379610is that what we're calling youtube essays now
>>285378690No. He was trying to make in a Bebop movie but they couldn't get it greenlit because of the price. The script was ass.
>>285378747Damn so accurate it's crazy.
>>285379411>>285377215She 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.
>>285377215I fuarking love slop media!
>>285377215Only slightly less peak than Netflix’s Death Note
>>285380546I 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.
>>285380546I'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.
>>285380832I 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.
>>285381000AYO SPYKE
>>285379410how did this shit actually get released?
>>285381000You 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.
>>285381000only dog looks accurate
>>285381000>only good cast is FUCKING DOGlmao
>>285381106I think even the dog is a big miss here.
>>285377215I still want season 2. Fuck the rest of you redditors. It was a great adaptation. Better than One piss
>>285381030>>285381000It'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.
>>285381149To 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.
>>285380582Fuck 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.
>>285381249I'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.
>>285381297Oh problem is johannson had an issue being nude. If she was really major, being naked means nothing since it's not her body
>>285380546Ed is literally based on Yoko Kanno, an actual 3D woman.
>>285381249It's a literal spoof of RoboCop.
>>285381201What 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.
>>285381456And RoboCop was good
>>285377215unpopular opinion... she did great and the show was incredibly well made
>>285381543Which one?
>>285381543Fair enough.
https://files.catbox.moe/418yn4.mp4
>>285381426Of 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.
>>285377215sorry, but this is what "zany" anime characters look like in real life
>>285381297Why did she cut her boobaBreast cancer fears?
>>285381000>Make Jet black>Proceed to rewrite his character into a deadbeat absentee dadWhat did Netflix mean by this?
>>285377215still not as bad as the DBZ or Death Note western adaptionhonestly I think they're just money laundering schemes
>>285381719Or they were too heavy. Or just age.
>>285381660Why do they actually have the characters of Herry George and Elaine?
>>285381249She did a terrible job and thy turned the fucking story into robocop for zoomers.
>>285380582The only good thing about this shit is the geisha robots and the opening scene that just copied the anime exactly.
>>285381719No 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.>>285381759By DBZ western adaptation are we talking about the Evolution film or is there some new abomination slop that exists?
>>285381875Zoomers didn't watch that shit, retard. Do you think about the shit you write at all?
>>285381909Looking at her old pictures, her breasts weren't even that huge to begin with. Or maybe my standards are just warped from looking at 2D women all day.
>>285381919Exactly, they zoomified it for nothing. I'm surpised they didn't WE WUZ batou.
>>285381249>Scarlett Johansson did great as majorScarlett can only play a single role and it's her first major role. And it's not even her fault, her face just looks like that.
>>285381543not even robocop could redo robocop.
>>285381947What else did zoomers do to you?
>>285381991Ruin 4chan. Get out.
>>285381660It'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. It's a fact i've come to realize after watching such adaptations, they receive like 22 viewers worldwide or something and the online debate is completely fictitious and unrelated.
>>285381991The dbs and wsj generals on this board, for example.
>>285381863>HerryI don't wanna be a wizard!
>>285382026Uh huh, uh huhAre they the ones that made you stupid, too?
>>285382041It seems that sleepless eyes don't translate well to live action.
>>285380546>Tell me the exact moment she fucks up does and Ed-like behavior incorrectly?>you cannot translate the wacky behaviors of anime characters into 3d for whatever reason.answered your own question, retard
>>285382049That's more third worlders, but I guess most of them are likely to be zoomers too.
>>285382157Watch a Charlie Chaplin film some time.
>>285382157It was a rhetorical question.
>>285382157You didn't understand the question, retard.
>>285382187I prefer Buster Keaton desu
>>285382095They just messed up the props and made them too small.
>>285382288stay woke
>>285377215I think it was a better adaptation than One Piece.
>>285382288>MY BRAAAAND
>>285377215Cowboy bebop at his computer
>>285380546That's the thing for me, there was so much other fucked up, stupid wrong shit in this adaptation that Ed doesn't even fucking register to me
>>285379410>>285381000Why the incentive to cast an Asian for Spike? While Spike was a part of a Chinese ran gang, I don't see any indication that the gang was ethnically exclusive.Hell they even contradict their reasoning by casting a white guy as Vicious
>>285383146Spike was inspired on Yusaku Matsuda and netflix likes diversity
>>285380546>Tell me the exact moment she fucks up does and Ed-like behavior incorrectlythey focused on her being ugly and weird instead of cute and quirky
>>285383195vague criticism
>>285383195Modern western media can't do cute anymore. It's always some kind of subversion of it instead.
They should have just reworked it as a sitcom.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkzCdTioH54
>>285380582this movie was a genuine attempt released way too latescarjo is way too stocky to be the major
>>285383284>>285381660
>>285383227it's not vague, it's the core problemthe Japanese know how to make appealing characters, it's why we watch anime
>>285383146Vicious 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 thoughI'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
>>285383173>Yusaku MatsudaAh, ok yeah that does add some major incentive. Still the name doesn't add up.
>>285383382Is that why isekai fags watch cookie cutter isekaislop with cardboard self-insert protagonists and harems full of dumb elf bimbos?
>>285383227To be more specific, look at the lighting, the lens distortion, the closeup of her unaligned teeth. The actor isn't ugly, but for some reason they made her look unflattering as possible.
>>285377215cowboy bebop at xir computer
>>285383616Me on the left.
>>285383695lol fucking Mouthbreathing fag lol
>>285383609duh, you think they enjoy isekai for the story? LOL
>>285383616It's meant to be disorienting so that the viewer understands how strange and wacky Radical Ed is.
>>285383695>>285383616You'd make for a great Butthead cosplayer.
>>285383871Why do you feel the need to defend this abortion?
>>285383616id smash
>>285377215>casting ugly Mexican as a Singaporean femme fatale>ugly Mexican uses the attention as a platform to push her gay and "muh racism" propaganda and alienate every fan before the first trailerI forgot this slop existed, and now I'm upset all over again.
>>285383532I always assume Spike Spiegel was a codename. Sound like the kind of name a kid would pick and Spike was canonically a street kid
>>285384343the sjw stuff is whatever but the woman is beautiful
dont care show me the spats
>>285384483You are either blind or brown yourself.
>>285384537>>285384502
>>285384060I'm not defending this tv show i'm attacking you.
>>285384605>she even has a stupid fucking beaner tattoo LMFAO
>>285377215Foam Adventure energy
>>285382417heh
>>285377215I felt bad for her desu, just a kid getting heat for the decisions of adults. She was clearly a fan of the anime.
>>285382193nah you didn't understand the answer thoughbeit
>>285385459>thoughbeitgo back
>>285377215Kinda feel bad for her(?)
>>285379553I see no bulge
>>285384840>Man...
>>285379610Wha happun?
>>285386008Shit happen
>>285381692i liked the idea that was spitballed of just making Ed an Augmented Reality AI that was just anime Ed.
>>285386173Why AI at all? Just give Ed some headquarters on the ship with a computer terminal let everyone interact with a hologram of anime Ed.
>>285377215I feel so bad for this person.
>>285377702That is infinitely better than what we have now. At least the shows were decent back then.
>>285381000>The only character who fits his role is the wrong raceHow did they even manage this?
Ninbros...
>>285386399no, that's the right race
I’ve never seen a single Netflix production that was good.
>>285383146I see you got some replies trying to pretend Netflix gives a fuck at all about lore or characters, here's he truth and what I can assure you went through their heads: "Anime is japanese so the MC has to be at least asian or people will cry about how we are whitewashing him" That's all.
>>285386484First few seasons of House of Cards was ok, but that was before they shifted to the business model of mass-produced short-lived algorithmic-designed trash they do now.
>>285386484There's gotta be some, right? I mean I can't think of any, but there are just so many...
>>285386453Based.
Why did they decide to have a dude that looks like he is in his 60s play spike?
>>285381961I actually kinda liked her in the beginning of Lucy, before she turned into an emotionless god.
>>285386640she is only good in Lost in Translation, because her face just looks like that.
>>285380546pretty much, even Disney live action adaptations are souless as fuck so I don't think it's a strictly anime issue, it's just very hard to translate between the mediums and I would dare say I've never seen it actually done well ever, maybe something like roger rabbit? but the whole gimmick is mixing live action and animation, not making real people act like cartoon characters anyway
>>285383195Except Ed was never cute and quirky. She has always been that ugly weirdo, even if she possessed talent to computers and shit.
>>285377850No they didn't. Netflix greenlights everything because it means more content for their catalog.
>>285386556I wasn't replying because I think Netflix gives a fuck but because I want to fuck Vicious and the anon's question gave me an opening to post fanart. If I was actually defending Netflix I wouldn't have said in the same post that Netflix's casting was bad
>>285386484>>285386579 I enjoyed Fall of the House of Usher and The Haunting of Hill House.
>>285387632Oh true, not so much the house of usher for me, but The Haunting of Hill House was great.
