Also, my daughter started playing Sea of Thieves and is actually pretty good at it, so I've been spending my evenings playing Sea of Thieves with my kids :D
@Ronan oh, that is just a joke about the fact that he is blonde instead of usual silver/gray haired, nothing more.
As for the show in itself, I guess that since at least it is an original story, some may like it (now, if they avoided things like bar fights or random swearing just for sake of it...).
I don't know how the Witcher ended, and I am not the best to judge considering I already hate the source material and the related company....
As for the "But when they are A listing shit, it rarely flops"....
As an anime lover I would consider Cowboy Bebop pretty famous...
And they butchered it heavy.
And don't even DARE to get me started on this sin.
I am surprised they didn't manage to summon the Heavenly Principles with that eldritch abomination
and just to avoid someone attempting, no, I am not mad about the changes to character nationalities (even if I think that one should really try to be respectful when working with characters made by others) - I am mad with the changes to characters personalities.
Nowhere in the original media Kira is an idiot that takes pleasure in making people die in the most gruesome ways, but I guess that "heart attack" is not "hardcore" enough for a bunch of executives that thinks that younger people only like COD and GOW....
You do have a point. Maybe its because i'm not a lot in those circles but the anime adaptations in netflix dont strike me as an A lister
like its been made cheap because they had the rights
Scott Pilgrim, I hope, wont suffer the same fate. Especially with some now big names like Chris Evans in the cast
Like the Netflix Anime adaptations like Death Note and Cowboy Bebop sound more like the Mortal Kombat or Resident Evil Movies. Someone had the rights, made something with minimal effort because just by the name it will attract eyeballs
@Fredy31 With Death Note the issue is not even the actors.
Yes, it is daring, mind you...
original L is basically a borderline Hikikomori in a sense, while the Netflix version looks like he would fit very well in one of those Noir detective stories
Ethnicity has nothing to do with this.
they butchered everything they could.
One main point in the original is that the Death Note can't cause side effects.
Kira can't kill "L" without knowing his name because writing "Mr Brown goes mad and kills L before dying to an heart attack" would not work.
Point was more 'if they skimp on actors, guess what, rest of the production might be skimped on too'
But with your point of changing characters entirely, I really think there's a part of it that is provoking headlines like CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS and trigger some hate watching
I think it's kinda pointless to try and get a success rate from Netflix anyway, it's not like they're an animation studio, or director where any aspect of the shows are consistent. They just pay other people to make stuff, and in a lot of cases pay other people to do the marketing
But yeah they just pay for the series. they dont really care about the quality a lot of the time. The only time they step in is probably when a series is an A lister, like Stranger things
and well seeing how the Scott Pilgrim adaptation is backed by a big part of the team that made the movie that is now a cult classic, I would have a good hope they wont release garbage
@SPArcheon Was confused what Shrodinger's Cat had to do with it but yeah, as long as we havent seen a trailer at least, its gonna be both good and shit at the same time
Tried to quickly look up the studio did what and could not find anything
Like on their twitter banner they got a bunch of characters... cant place one
But I've often heard tales of the set of Scott Pilgrim that everybody loved making that movie. So maybe they got a discount because Chris Evans wanted to again be part of that team
