Another classic japanese retro IP is getting a modern streaming "anime" by westerners.This time it's a Family Guy style Golden Axe series
>>12771926Go back to /v/ faggot
>>12771936Golden Axe is retro
If you're actually upset about some Netflix slop of the week I would encourage you to get better hobbies. Maybe read a book
The only good thing that will come of this is a surge in Tyris Flare porn.
>>12771939>Maybe read a bookBooks get more modern slop adaptations than retro games
>>12771926If it's not a traditional anime, what's the point? Just another westslop that exists solely as a medium to deliver nigroids and LGBT into your living room.
Western slop isn't anime
>>12771926Oh wow! Looks exactly like I remember it! Can't wait!!1!
>>12771945Not when she looks like this lol.There's practically no fan fair for this anyway aside from Twitter bots. All the YT comments skew negative. There isn't even any outrage bait on YouTube like with say Velma. Everyone is exasperated with this irony-poisoned style of "adult" "animated" "comedy" to even hatewatch anymore. This show is dead on arrival
>>12771926>Family Guy style Golden Axe seriesits gonna be axed?>>12772017i want a AI startup to make a grimdark 1980s style anime for Golden Ax now...
>>12771939Garbage reply
>>12772076He's right though. The Netflix Castlevania series hasn't ruined Castlevania games, and you don't have to watch it. It exists, but it's not like people care about it even in Castlevania communities much.
>>12771926bro who cares golden axe 1 sucks
>>12771926What is the age range of the "people" making these shows?
>>12772087I suppose this is /vr/ after all and we can go >anything modernAll day. Video games and general entertainment could end tomorrow and we'd have 50ish years of nearly infinite entertainment to comb through. But in the end, it's still their utter fucking inability to make anything worth a shit whatsoever in a frighteningly consistent manner in a way that's just worse than the 80s similar garbage that completely changed the contentIt's just massive piles of shit after massive piles of shit where these idiots consistently fails upwards and may one day start legitimately affecting the little left coming out that's actually cool. Which might end up happening considering how controlled the Internet is slowly starting to be
>>12771926Reminder that's it's ultimately the jap companies that approve this kinda shit.
>>12771926Family guy looks more appealing than this though
>>12772051>grimdark 1980s style anime for Golden Ax now>animeWould rather it got the Fire and Ice treatment but anything would be better than what they are actually putting out. What gets me is that Golden Axe(along with other beloved series that get shit out) should be a lay up. >>12772076Based and saved
>>12772004Dude, tranime is gay
>>12771926>>>/a/>>>/tv/>>>/co/
>>12771926I blame Sega for this more than anything else. They didn't have to allow it.
>>12771926Oh cool, another anti America thread
>>12772076>NO, I NEED TO BE UPSET AT PRODUCT AND BE EXCITED TO BE ANGRY AT NEXT PRODUCT
>>12772204Is it even murrcan? I remember the netflix Castlegaynia was done by some middle east guy iirc
>>12772087>The Netflix Castlevania series hasn't ruined Castlevania games,It has.
>>12772212>Don't care for anything bro, it doesn't matterNot him, but you should shut the fuck up.
>>12772223So you're just his bf?
>>12772204There's been a weeb autist on the board recently who's been spamming those types of threads. He'll probably kill himself when he misses a dose of his meds in the next month or two.
>>12772225Best friend, yeahWe met when running a train on your mama last week
>>12772230my mom is a drag queen, so you're really gay
>>12771939>If you're actually upset about some Netflix slop of the week I would encourage you to get better hobbies. Maybe read a bookNetflix really is the slop factories. They are almost experts in doing anything BUT making something visually interesting. It's just a giant jobs program for millennials, and no one cares, no one takes it seriously. They "job it up" so to speak. They show up for a job, make it, release it, then never think of it again.yes, it's sad that westerners are buying cheap Japanese IPs, when they could and should get something more respectful.
>>12772029Irony, flipping concepts against expectations, and not taking things seriously was initally an original bold take. They were initially reacting to a cutlure that took itself seriously, and thus took its media seriously, where stories go in one direction. That became predictable and cliceh, and thus ripe for mocking....but this is now predictable and cliche. I can write entire episodes of this without having seen it. I know all the jokes, all the beats. It's slop. The sloppiest of slop. I'm sick of it.I hope for everyone's sake they do not have a subscription to Netflix.
>>12772243>They were initially reacting to a cutlure that took itself seriously, and thus took its media seriously, where stories go in one directionAnd this is the only dynamic that works. Playing it straight should always be standard, with ironic works being outliers. The moment this is reversed, we end up with arguments, because sincerity is extinguished. And it's also just shit.
>>12772243Planescape Torment did almost all of these and it's considered a masterpiece
>>12772243>Irony, flipping concepts against expectations, and not taking things seriously was initally an original bold take. They were initially reacting to a cutlure that took itself seriously, and thus took its media seriously, where stories go in one direction. That became predictable and cliceh, and thus ripe for mocking.You mean the way stories have generally been told for the last 4000 years? If you don't take your stories seriously, why the fuck should I be invested in the outcome?
>>12772253>If you don't take your stories seriously, why the fuck should I be invested in the outcome?If the author wrote a story where he seriously believed everyone dying is good writing, does that mean I should care?
>>12771926>w*stern media
>>12772249>it's considered a masterpieceOnly by mustard autists
>>12772248Like most shit, you can trace it back to the 60s and 70s with underground media, like comics. These were seen as the cool guys, and the mainstream as squares. This movement builds momentum in the 80s and becomes what the Gen-X wants to emulate. Gen-X starts to gain creative power as writers in the late 80s and early 90s. You get shows like The Simpsons.*Groening is a boomer, and season 1 was kind of sincere. After the Gen-X writers took over, the show became mostly irony and sarcasm. Family Guy and South Park then took this forward and solidified what an "adult cartoon" is.But then it became the default. It became the mainstream. But it was only something that was *reacting* to the mainstream. Without what it is initially reacting to, what meaning does it have?So it's become a new set of strict formula and cliches, completely predictable, and without the mainstream it was initially mocking. For instance, even the Simpsons was reacting to 80s squeaky clean family sitcoms. For Golden Axe Netflix series? You'd have to go back and watch a series of sword and Sandal films to even get what the hell they're making fun of. There's no context for this. I'm beyond sick of it. I have pretty much cut off "adult cartoons" since 2010.
>>12772221No, Konami had already done that without any help from the Netflix show.
>>12772271>Without what it is initially reacting to, what meaning does it have?“Evil cannot create; only ruin what good forces make.”
>>12772221Netflix retroactively added gay sex to my CV3 rom?
>>12772271>But then it became the default. It became the mainstream. But it was only something that was *reacting* to the mainstream. Without what it is initially reacting to, what meaning does it have?Good writing. Interesting characters and plots. It's own meaning beyond reacting. I disagree that something like The Simpsons was *only* reacting to things. There was a lot of substance to the show and other shows like it beyond that layer.
>>12772290>“Evil cannot create; only ruin what good forces make.”Sick of this quote, partially because the people repeating it are so often evil people who don't create anything of value.
>>12772295Shut the fuck up.
>>12772297Struck a nerve?
>>12772295Considering the current state of /v/ and /vr/, I’d say you’re definitely wrong about that.
>>12772304>people on /v/ and /vr/ repeat the quote>people on /v/ and /vr/ are often evil and generally create nothing of valuenot so sure
>>12772295>>12772307it doesnt invalidade the quote itself, retard
>>12772320actually when a lot of retards who say it end up creating dogshit themselves, it loses a lot of its meaning
>>12772301You can be sick of it all you want, it's still true. So, as I said before...
>>12772029I ain't going to jack off to an animated version of Dave Mustane.
>>12772320It doesn't, but the quote itself is retarded too. Evil creates art all the time. Sometimes even good art. Hell, Roman Polanski directed a lot of great movies.
>>12772327Yeah, but you telling me to "shut the fuck up" just makes you sound whiny and insecure. It's not like you can actually shut me up. So you're just gonna have to suck it up until I get bored with you.
>>12772330Triumph of the Will was a well crafted movie too, created by evil people for evil intentions.
>>12772332>Yeah, but you telling me to "shut the fuck up"And you already have, anyway. It's just barking from you now.No wonder you're so keen on playing devil's advocate for free, on a thread about a terrible adaptation.
>>12772350Nah, I'm still here. The Golden Axe show looks pretty weak, tbqh.
>>12772350you sound like a faggot ngl
>>12772087I haven't been to a single Castlevania thread on /v/ since then that hasn't been derailed by someone mentioning Alucard is a literal faggot that takes dick up the ass in that shitty Western slop.
>>12772358>thread is ruined by an autist who doesn't shut the fuck up about something he's terminally obsessed aboutyou dont need a Netflix adaptation for that to happen
>>12772354>>12772356Samefagging won't help you, either.
>>12772365cope, meds, rope, dial 8, etc
if it means more tyra art then I am all for it
>>12771926Who the fuck is this for?Nobody under 40 knows what a Golden Axe is. It is not a recognizable IP.It doesn't look like a Saturday Morning cartoon, it looks like a direct to Netflix She-Ra or Gremlins modern thing.I beat both Golden Axe arcade games and I don't give the slightest fuck. Is it just a thing to put on Netflix because of screen junkies? Random content to fill the grid?
>>12772426>women centauri will now play your game.
>>12772426its because dungeon meshi was popular and they want to mine IP for something to leech off of the popularity. Of course its terrible because no one involved gave a shit and it was made as cheaply as possible to cash in on something else thats popular
>>12772197Not OP but we have in the past been able to talk about movies/tv shows based on retro game franchises. When you think about it who would know or care more about such a thing? >>12772201>I blame Sega for this more than anything elseSame. Where is the quality control? Who signed off on this abortion? >>12772426>Nobody under 40 knows what a Golden Axe is. It is not a recognizable IP.I sort of agree. Mostly old fags will remember but it is has been on just about every Sega Greatest Hit compilation over the years so I'm sure it has some name recognition. If it was done right with swords, blood, tits, etc boys of all ages would enjoy and become fans. Doesn't look like that is going to happen tho.
>>12772426>Random content to fill the grid?It's mostly this. Netflix needs to produce a huge amount of new content for business reasons. Very few people really give a shit. They just look around for properites that are both cheap enough to adapt but also have SOME notability. The fact we're having this thread is proof of this. If they adapted some 1920s French novel we wouldn't have this therad. No one making this cares. No one at Netflix cares. The Japanese publisher that gave them the rights do not care. Likewise we should not care.It's really obvious to see if a series has care put into it verus just algo slop.
>>12772490>No one should careFuck offThis is more and more and again and again utter fucking sloppification of contentAny of that cash could've went to cool Newgrounds animator of yore, which I'm still puzzled barely any of them ever got a showSloppification of content for a shitty business model that's not too functional ends up highly enshittifying culture as a whole. You should be highly mad about that
>that artlolThe US really did stop producing decent artists after a certain point.
>>12772494>This is more and more and again and again utter fucking sloppification of content>Any of that cash could've went to cool Newgrounds animator of yore, which I'm still puzzled barely any of them ever got a showlmfao.
what's with the damage-control shill infesting this thread?
>>12772506You're a dumbassOney and friends got involved in Smiling Friends and that's probably gonna be among the last few good things Adult Swim will ever make
>>12771926
>>12772494I've more or less completely given up on Netflix and most streaming services to ever produce anything good ever again. It's just the way the market is going and we can't complain. Yes, the slopification and Enshitification are real forces. With the rise of AI, it's going to get worse and worse each year. So just unsub from Netflix. Watch some old movies from the 70s or a tv show from the 90s. Just disconnect.
>>12772546I'm better than you because I never used any streaming of any kind in the first place. I never had to go through the process of paying for shit to learn that it's shit to begin with. My general refusal of adaptation (which seems to be getting short-term gratification) will surely also pay off in the long run. :)
>>12772546>So just unsub from Netflix. Watch some old movies from the 70s or a tv show from the 90s. Just disconnect.Did this decades ago. The only streaming service I have is Frndly just so I can access the MeTV family of channels.
>>12772497I call it flat land. There was at least some money in fantasy art back in the day - TTRPG guidebook illustrations, fantasy book covers, paintings, etc. Now? Nothing. They're not trained well and just learn cheap digital methods and know nothing else.A lot of game illustrators were trained in the old classical metods, and some of them were outright paintings. That's gone.Think: why is the group at the bottom lining up? Humans do not naturally do this. In the top illustration, there appears to be some kind of attacker so the group hastily tries to face their opponent. The top equipment is a mish-mash of armor and weapons inspired by real historical gear. Bottom: What are they even wearing? I could go on.
>>12772557More like... Man who thought he'd lost all hope loses last additional bit of hope created specifically for him to lose
>>12772291The show is a negative association with the IP and only worsens its reputation, you obtuse tranny.
>>12772546I never subbed to any of that, even before it was evident that things were going really badly, but no, we can complain, and in high enough number we can strongarm these companies, but yes, unsubbing is also part of the solutionIt's the sheer apathy I can't fucking stand. It has been shown again and again that pressure do work, of course there's always fucking garbage like Pokémon, but no giant last forever eitherBut still, everything fucking sucks and has sucked for around a decadeish now, this shits up culture magnificently and we don't have to stand for it
>>12772573>The show is a negative association with the IP and only worsens its reputationoh wow that's horrible, guess a shitty adaptation I dont have to watch will ruin my enjoyment of games because an incel faggot told me it would
>>12772578you can tell a francois made this pic because of the 'making fun of frenchs' is a bad thingbro, frogs have been the butt of jokes for decades
>>12771926I just want to use this thread to say the newest Shinobi game is fucking dogshit too and that faggot Tee Lopes is the biggest fucking annoying faggot ever, that retard ruined the entire game that shitty fucking music
>>12772291>>12772087>>12772285You're actually fucking stupid. The canon from the games is dead, the Netflix shit is canon and the newest game coming out is a continuation of that shitty show
>>12772602The games have been dead for a long time now, Konami is hardly even the same company. Who gives a fuck what they release now?
>>12772602>he canon from the games is dead, the Netflix shit is canon and the newest game coming out is a continuation of that shitty showhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castlevania:_Belmont's_Curseno mention of the netflix show anywhere, also not retro so kill yourself asap
>>12772604Cause it means the 1999 game is never happening now, when before there was still a chance
>>12772591>Pretends there's no difference in zeitgeists 30+ years apartDon't remember Luigi getting assraped in that movie, you dumb faggot.>incelFound you out quick, mutant.
>>12772613>old movie that rapes the IP good because... because it is okay!lol>i can call you tranny but you cant call me incel!lmao
