Marvel's Eternals Phastos and Ajak walk through marshmallow covered 1980s Manhattan, and a teary eyed Pastos proclaims "Druig was right."

It's beautiful. And it's for the god of...of...arts and crafts. I think that's what he said.
Nobody even died in Ghostbusters. It was just two people that got possessed temporarily and an annoying government guy got a Stay-Puft cumshot.

i just watched the first ep of cowboy bebop. (so far) it's not as bad as everyone was making out to be but the action and editing is.... not great. feels very low energy/impact.

the unrealistic dream would be for it to have taken cues from stephen chow or speed racer but what we got is basically just passable.

nice things:

Jet and Spike occasionally do talk to each other the way normal humans might in such a hosed up situation... almost emphasizing a beautiful bromance. None of that happens in the anime
It's kinda like Baz Luhrmann's Romeo+Juliet
The sets and props are amazing
Spike and Jet straight-up murder dozens of people and don't even blink

bad things:

nothing but fight scenes that edit away from the hits (unless it's a bullet wound)
Quippy "Joss Whedon" dialogue constantly undoes any of the goodwill from whatever "real" dialogue that takes place
Episodes are way too long
They try to fit every minor character and have all these scenes that need not exist
It's kinda like Once Upon a Time in New Mexico

I don't think the original did something like the 'blackmail' clip. Watanabe would never stoop so low.

I will say the marketing was garbage and apparently done by a loving psychopath so i see where you are coming from based on the materials you've seen.

Also the show is not great, it's not even good per se

For newer Series I've started

Arcane (Netflix): Worth checking out since the overall animation technique and art style really sets it apart. never played any of the League of Legend games but still could get into the series

Wheel of Time (Amazon Prime): Sort of the sword and sorcery which is a faithful adaption of source material even though the production can feel 90s fantasy TV at times.

Watch the og movie, it's much better (the book is great too)

The show was ok overall, some neat ideas and solid spooks with Nell's episode being standout fantastic, but man that Wayne's world super mega happy ending really didn't work for me

Hill House was like 4 episodes of excellent, tightly paced horror, culminating in the masterpiece of Nell's episode. Then it kept going for some reason and ended on a giant 30 minute fart noise.
