Arlong looks bad but in a charming way that is way better than if he was a bad CG man.

As someone else mentioned, he basically looks like Ivan Ooze from the first Power Rangers movie

They sold me on at least giving it a try when they made real rear end boats. That said, we've seen some weak cgi and wirework, so i'm not expecting a lot from the action scenes

I think it's perfectly fine to be cautious. It looks good and I'm happy for the people experiencing pure hype, but I wouldn't blame people for not daring to hope just yet. Arlong is fantastic by the way. I'd much rather have a cheap goofy Star Trek prosthetic that lets the actor emote, and lets the actor get a bunch of screen time without straining the budget even more with fancy effect shots that you'll quickly get used to either way. There's tradeoffs to everything, and the Arlong we've got is sinister and weird looking and that's all you really need. We'll see if the actor can pull off what he needs to for the character, but visually he's great.

I don't even like 90% of the anime I don't have great hopes for the netflix live action adaptation (them with their great track record of these) but it should be funny at least

feel like Arlong's problem isn't that he's going to be using a prosthesis, it's that they didn't cast a 7'4" pro wrestler made of steak and continental rock to wear that prosthesis

He looks bad, most of the normie opinions I have seen have said he looks bad, everyone unfamiliar with One Piece thinks he looks bad from the reactions I have seen. It's ok if you like it, and I agree that I like using practical makeup over lovely CGI. But it looks like dog-doo-doo.

Bleck posted:Why? Because Arlong (and lots of other One Piece characters) doesn't translate to a non-cartoon medium, especially when you take away his towering physique. He is silly looking enough as a manga character, and then when you try to do that in live action it looks like a person with a stick on their face covered in pink makeup wearing silly vampire teeth in a Hawaiin shirt, with a dumb-looking sword.

I can’t help but keep the Cowboy Bebop live action in the back of my mind when watching all these trailers and things. I watched it, multiple times*, and I enjoyed parts of it. But I wouldn’t say it was good. I’ll do the same for One Piece. I don’t expect it to be a perfect adaptation and I’ll forgive the things they didn’t have the budget to do. And I expect I’ll love it, especially if the cast keep this energy the whole time. Rubber suit Arlong owns, One Piece characters don’t have to be huge or look cool to be strong, and I prefer it to them doing CGI that looks like dogshit and they have to keep finding excuses not to show him on screen. Though tbh he does look especially cheap, like the Gorn from Star Trek TOS level of costuming… which is actually hilarious to watch now, so maybe they’re onto something. *I work from home and I watch a LOT of things.

GonSmithe posted:He is not. Gonna take the hot and spicy take here and say that I'm really digging that it's a corny as hell costume design for Arlong, because it's more-or-less an accurate representation of most outsiders' first impression of the manga art. How many times have I heard people back in the day refuse to pick up this series because the art style was incredibly off-putting compared to every other popular battle manga propery over the past twenty years? I lost count after '07, I still hear it to this day from others, it's sort of become the de-facto turnoff for casual manga readers aside from the incredible length. That means this show has got to really hoof it on all other cylinders in the final production to overcome that one major barrier; if people are still able to give this show a chance and like it after the first season credits roll it will truly be a testament to Oda's masterful storytelling methods to overcome these superficial walls. People are really missing the bigger picture here; the Netflix adaptation doesn't need to be a phenomenal 1:1 ratio, it just has to not suck. If it can do it even middling at best then it will become the Berlin Wall teardown event, will get bolstered to a higher status as the years go by, and we'll start to see more elevation and risks taken by other studios on properties once considered unfilmable. Sonic the Hedgehog movie quality is all it needs to pass the test here, basically a low B score on the card. With enough luck and focus I think they can stick the landing, that's all it needs to do.
