Some Cowboy Bebop eps are serious, some are silly. If we just average out the tone over every episode, that should work fine right?

First you complain that creators are always afraid to embrace the source material in these adaptions, choosing to keep an ironic distance from it, and now they make a cartoon character act like a cartoon character and suddenly that's a problem too? You people need to make up your mind.

it's the realization that these cartoons are poo poo, people can't take it so they blame it on some poor acter/actress.

watched first episode of wheel of time, I have a bad feeling they spent their money on the big trolloc fight and the rest of the season is gonna be a lot more shaky cam and blurred monsters to save money, they apparently did everywhere else

gently caress it though I'll watch it, not like anything else is coming out and I remember liking the books when I was a teenager, am I supposed to be excited for a Hawkeye tv show instead or something

you're supposed to be excited for the book of boba, a heartwarming story where an elderly boba stall owner is being forced to shut down shop due to back taxes... until his niece comes along and balances his books!

haven't watched it yet but from that trailer i saw wheel of time seems to cover for the fact that they got a bunch of unknown actors who can't act by making it so most of them just do meaningful glances while only one or two people have to emote or say any lines per scene

gonna be bad but ill watch that garbage too

I'm pretty sure they blew their entire budget on the first episode though.

There's a lot of replies to that ed clip cheering it for non binary representation but does non binary just mean "irritating"?

Ed is androgynous so accurate to the character but still poorly written for the adaption.

I think the gun he uses in the original is of Israeli make, which combined with his last name made people think he was supposed to be Jewish

Though the gun was almost certainly a stylistic choice because it looks cool instead of a subtle clue to Spike's ethnicity

Exploration is ill-advised.
Spike does have curly hair as well, it's more that if he was Jewish it'd all fit together.

Jewish coding is a thing like a lot of stuff because it wasn't/isn't something often actively brought up but hinted through context clues, similar to LGBT coding, and results in fans going all Quizboy on it.
