I'll watch that GitS video later but all the nerds out there that complained that it's a bad adaptation of the  beloved manga annoy the gently caress out of me. Same with dark tower and comic movies. I don't give a single gently caress if something is faithful to its source and Hollywood certainly doesn't. If some hack director made a film about my life and changed every single detail, I wouldn't care as long as it's entertaining.

GitS was neither faithful or a good interpretation. They couldn't make up it's mind whether to rip off the cool scenes wholesale or smash them into some generic mess. It was good when they copied cut for cut like the canal fight. The biggest stand out is the Yakusa Office/bar fight that has nothing to do with the original scene. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNuL8cVxXMA The plot is all sort of nonsense and barely has a coherent theme. Takeshi Kitano is the highlight of the movie and having him speak Japanese(LOL his English) was they only thing that the director had any guts doing.

But yeah, for example, Watchmen wasn't bad because of the changes they made to the story, it was bad because Zach Snyder is a hack.

Here's the number one reason josh is bad: Mike will make a quick, throw away joke and Josh will butt in and say "no no no no no !" and then add some stupid "random lol" element to the joke that derails it instead of playing along. Mike then just kinda has to nod politely and the discussion moves on. If you don't see a problem with this is it because you probably do the same thing with your circle of friends and it's the reason they don't laugh at your jokes and why they've stopped hanging out with you

Why is he called "The Wizard" in the credits? It's something he started calling himself and now insists everyone else does too, right?

speaking of bad adaptations, the Death Note trailers have me thinking if i watch death note i should watch it pretending the source material does not exist and i have no knowledge of it because drat do the characters act differently they seem to have kept character quirks but not character. ryuk eats apples. l eats candy.

Seriously, I've heard that it's supposed to be a parallel either from the director or from the guy who plays L.

it's weird to think how restrained watchmen is in comparison to man of steel and bvs. hard to believe the same guy made em all. the manhattan sequence in watchmen is legit great.

I liked Light as a character because he wasn't relatable. His thinking was so psychotic it bordered on alien, but because it was presented in a decently charismatic way, you became invested in the outcome. the netflix trailer has misa telling him he needs to think bigger and change the world, and ryuk needing to goad him into taking the note. Light in the series took the note of his own volition, read the rules, and then experimented on how far he could push them through murder. Plus, there's an action scene where Misa and Light are in an exploding ferris wheel in the Netflix one. I'm going to watch it, but as I said earlier, you really gotta detach past expectations based on the source material. Making Light an everyteen is a mistake, imo.

Like I'm not more inclined to read the comics or books now, I'm just going to watch the show or movie and enjoy it on its own. Actually no wait that's dumb, because Hannibal the TV show is way, way different than the Thomas Harris books and it was still a good show.

the preacher comic is better than the show (mostly). so yeah you gotta ignore that it's an adaptation of an existing property to enjoy it.

Dunkirk is a Nolan film. They did red tails because it was Lucas, they could do Dunkirk because it's Nolan

I only saw a few episodes of American Gods, and was really surprised at how little reading the books affected my enjoyment of it. All the visuals and style of it are so vibrant, than knowing what's going to happen barely affected my enjoyment - almost didn't factor in. I think the Hannibal guy worked on it too right? I never saw that. Maybe he just has a gift.

The ending was better in the sense that it was less campy and comic booky, but it wasn't really any different in terms of what happens or why it happens, they just removed the most unbelievable elements for realism sake. Looking back I'm actually a bit sad they shied from that piece of vintage Alan Moore weirdness, its one of the things that gives his work its charm, and overall I think the Watchmen movie is too boring of an adaption of the book.

I remember someone offered a interpretation of the whole thing, that it was intentionally a comic solution from a comic book character (Ozymandias) for a huge real life problem (the Cold war and the prospect of nuclear conflict). In that regard Dr Manhattan and the other characters are similar, outlandish comic book tropes clashing with real world problems.

I just want my giant alien squid rather than yet another 9/11 city destruction analogy. It wasn't quite "big sky laser", but it was close
