Just adapt this speculative parkour game to be a miniseries rather than a movie and the length issues go away. Only the content and casting remain

bloom posted:There's no way for Dragon Ball Z to happen as a Hollywood action movie. It's too long to be made as anything short of a big money trilogy, and too niche and bloody to become that. So the best you could hope for is a skilled adaptation of a portion of the story. For that Vegeta arc is your best bet, with Frieza maybe working if you cut out the Namek and other stuff that sets up future things.

Doing my every few years re-read of Berserk. At the end of the battle with the Count when they cut to Gut's crying/getting choked up as he walks away from the Count's daughter, I'm curious what everyone's read on that was? Was the uncaring tough guy act just a facade the whole time and he's finally cracking under the unrelenting horribleness of his situation, or was it something else I may have missed? I know that Idea of Evil is not considered cannon, but I would be surprised if something similar to what the Idea represented isn't in the story again at some point. The notion that the big malevolent force at the heart of Berserk only exists because human beings needed a reason to explain their suffering is insanely cool to me.

Nevertheless, I was thinking that the best place to start would be Guts trying to grab Casca, getting shot, and them falling in the river. That through the very end of the hundred man could be an entire two hours, with motivation handled through flashbacks. This is basically the primary development of motivation for Casca, and the establishment of Guts purpose for the next hundred chapters or more. Heck we just saw a flashback to campfire of dreams; hundred man is Guts turning point. If they can't get hundred man correct, both the action and the very deep psychological issues, then there's no point attempting anything further.

The Golden Arc is dense with important character moments so I couldn't enjoy anything that doesn't handle it long form. The Black Swordsman Arc is simple but brings out the strengths of Berserk. A dark and borderline bad good guy that fighting against even worse bad guys with Puck as a small bit of light. I said before but its well conceived as a story. Movies today do action well so it is hard to sell Berserk on that alone. Gut's inner turmoil and struggle is what makes Berserk unique because he isn't looking for justice. Justice is impossible in Berserk, there is no way to right the wrongs committed by Griffith and by the world at large. Berserk and Guts is about finding peace in a horrible world. threeagainstfour posted:Was the uncaring tough guy act just a facade the whole time and he's finally cracking under the unrelenting horribleness of his situation, or was it something else I may have missed?

A few more successful recent mini series like the cool Series of Unfortunate Events adaptation have convinced me that TV Series are the way to go for long form adaptations. Also starting it the same way seems like it'd be the best. It just kind of throws you right into the gross, hosed up poo poo of berserk then The Count kind of ends on a "Oh by the way, there's reasons for all this" and then The Golden Age starts. I think one of the problems with doing the Golden Age stuff as a start, like anime and games tend to, is that Berserk is fairly well known and has a reputation for being about an angry dude who fights monsters. But the Golden Age doesn't have that until the very end.

He's gonna kill Griffith and the people of Falconia will hate him forever for killing their messiah and destroying the one nice place in a world now chock full of dragons, demons, and other hosed up astral poo poo. When Guts kills Griffith he will leave behind a new dark age, he will be remembered as the Alaric or Attila who personally ruined the world out of his hatred towards nice things. Only worse, because Attila didn't literally kill Jesus.

Wait, other than Puck, does anyone in the party know? "The Black Swordsman" that Farnese was chasing was not "The 100 Man Killer from the war", not does Serpico have any information beyond Guts fighting skills. Puck only has glimpses back to the Eclipse. Does anyone actually know that Guts and Casca are Hawks? (I guess it's time for a reread if I don't remember)

Puck would probably know if he was paying attention the first time Guts met Griffith post-eclipse, but he wasn't. Nobody else knows about Guts' past or that he's even connected to Griffith except Rickert.

I think it would be cool if Guts gave up on revenge and went on to live his life on Elf Island. In a way going back on the revenge tour is just another way of Griffith owning him like he did in the Golden Age.

There is basically no loving way that someone as knowledgeable as Serpico wouldn't have put two and two together very quickly. Dude's smart enough not to say anything again since he has secrets of his own. MechanicalTomPetty posted:I feel like that's gonna come back to bite everyone in the rear end someday.

Yeaaaah I keep wondering about that. I mean how do you know they don't inadvertently summon something really loving weird? They almost have to since there's no way nothing bad will happen there.

The problem with Guts giving up on revenge and living in Elfhelm is that the odds of Elfhelm not getting utterly hosed up by Griffith, who is actively hunting witches out because they're a threat, is next to nil. On the plus side, it's going to make for some cracking mad as gently caress panels. It's been a while since we've seen him bite something, so hopefully that too.

Odds are the moment Caska is finally healed in whatever way she comes out is when Griffith finds his way to Elfhelm. Or at least the Neo Band of the Hawk. For that brief moment of happiness to be shattered.

Latest anime episode was also pretty okay. Or maybe i'm just immune to it and have stopped caring about the issues it has. Also, this Finnish Metal band sure likes writing songs about Berserk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXICJKSq1T0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Nhar5FvWfw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ghRGkg--6A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAl5b4C_jJ8

My girlfriend animated on the How to Train Your Dragon TV series and won't watch this show because she says it looks like a first pass at animation. Like they did 30% of each shot and then just stopped trying. But I guess the quality gap between a Dreamworks show and a CG anime is pretty huge.

They need to stop casting Guts English actor in tough or grisly dude roles, they had him voice Kenshiro in the dub of the Fist of the North Star musou years back and he just sounds like a goony dude doing a bad impression of what he thinks a tough guy should sound like Just lol they couldn't get the original cast back and didn't even bother reaching out to them apparently, they're still doing loving 4Kids work and supporting voices guys, their asking price would not have set the world on fire and all Funimation did was annoy the already irritated fanbase
