I have not seen the live action version. Was it good? Was it necessary?
No
I appreciate you saving me from watching this. Lol
It also missed a few vital scenes. They cut down the movie to fit within an arbitrary time limit.
I'm flabbergasted that they found a way to do a shot-for-shot remake wrong.
They intentionally wanted to make the shot-for-shot remake fail so they can point at it "still failing" and continue to ruin more remakes.
What? That makes no sense.
Did they know the original is shorter?
It just struck me that the 'live action' version of most movies are still like 90% CGI... Really the only thing not computer generated are the actors and even then, only mostly. What's even the difference at that point?
An attempt to apeal to the "cartoons are for babies" crowd?
Do you even have to ask?
I mean, there's a >0 number of good live-action adaptations of animated shows. I've heard mainly good things about the Netflix One Piece show.
If it's so good, then why is there only One Piece of it? Why not a Second or Third Piece?
It's apparently an adaptation, not a shot for shot transcription.
Yeah but that's not necessarily a bad thing. You probably wouldn't want a shot-for-shot transcription going from manga to live-action.
It was good. It was almost a beat for beat, scene for scene remake. The only scene I specifically noticed being omitted was the one on the beach with the small dragons.
It was almost like DreamWorks was telling Disney, "Hey, this is how you do it. Keep the story the same, and it works, dumb mouse."
There's a live action version? I just assumed the middle screenshot was DLSS 5.
Could make a "DLSS 5 on/off" meme with the top two pictures.
Because I'm too ADHD to read post titles, I literally thought that's what this was at first.
In the original toothless is a common green dragon with one tooth. Bro’s a sassy bastard and the whole point is that Hiccup has to be the hero with a severely lacking toolset.
Well technically not quite but that's Spoilers
There is a book?! Nice, imma go find it
Several!
And here I was looking for the source in the comments.
First two are "How to train your Dragon", the third is "Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid"
Top: How to Train Your Dragon
Bottom: Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid
Is the Animé a flavour of "thicc girl encourages perversions of socially awkward horny boy"? Because that's so blasé; it's overused.
Surprisingly no. Those 2 depicted are just side characters and actually have a somewhat healthy relationship. And the main cast is generally not that sexualized.
To be clear, the issue you point out does exist, just not with these 2 specific characters.
Going on my watchlist :3 ty!
Not really. Guy in the bottom picture is a minor character. The show largely centers around a dragon girl (not the one pictured) who arrives at the human world injured, gets saved by another girl who works as a programmer, and then moves in as her maid out of gratitude. Dragon girl falls in love with programmer girl due to the kindness she shows her.
Ty, that sounds super cool!
Not entirely, that artist is also a confirmed pedo
Sources? Have googled a bit and couldn't find anything that paints the artist as a pedo.
I mean apart from the depiction of the characters, which is really weak as a confirmation of anything, seeing as a lot of Japanse works have the same questionable aesthetics.
I'm not going to search too deep for the sake of my own eyes, but had seen reference to their other works in a post on reddit that go beyond "questionable aesthetics" and into straight up 'that is a child'
That's half the male population of Japan
Thats a fuckin wild generalisation to make about an entire country's population
If they had an actual cultural problem with it pedo merchandise wouldn't be advertised in store windows.
Im assuming by that you mean 'if the people took issue with it', not 'if there was a cultural problem of pedo shit' (not trying to argue semantics, I do agree that there is 100% a cultural problem with normalising that kind of thing)
I'm only taking issue with you generalising a >120 MILLION population and labelling them as pedos
Bro, it's Japan. If they (meaning rich Japanese men) don't like it, it's illegal to do. And they don't like a lot of things.
And I didn't generalize 120 million people.
I specifically made a claim about 30 million of them, the pedo ones.
One of the things about Japan is that they tend to take community complaints relatively seriously. That's admirable in certain ways, but what it also means is that you get anything illegalized if you're enough of a Karen about it, from pedo merchandise to brown people existing.
