feedmyleg posted:I would be game for another LotR adaptation, because while I think the Jackson trilogy is a terrific achievement and an incredible set of films, I don't think they capture the tone of the books well. They just keep serving dogshit shows don't they? Can't remember the last show I fully still like on that service.

Bogus Adventure posted:They're disrupting the art market by innovating a product that removes the "good" I was just thinking about Ring of Power, something that I haven't seen based on incredibly bad word of mouth, and how that has cost hundreds of millions of dollars and they hired two no name persons to oversee it. And this mammoth enterprise, taking months and thousands of individual contributions to make....and how they just didn't bother in taking the time to write good scripts. Why is the least expensive yet most crucial component of any movie or TV show, the lowest consideration in any production?

Because the studio doesn’t care if it’s good they just need it out by this time so they can throw ads and sponsorships to it

Netflix is a funny studio because they also cancel shows because people though it was stinky despite it doing well. Didn’t cowboy bebop do alright but just get savagely murdered with both critics and fans? And then they killed it lol

It's just so cheap to hire a a few starving writers compared to the millions they used, for example, that giant water tank that almost killed their main star.

Fair enough. I guess I was looking for a more psychological reason for the self immolating and sabotaging hatred of good writing but it's prob just that.

And then they killed it lol All the actual viewing data is a black box which streamers refuse to divulge, so everyone else is left to read tea leaves and make very uncertain inferences. Number of hours watched or completion rates are completely worthless as metrics and everyone knows it but can't currently compel Netflix, Hulu, etc to share more. Which also means that fan reactions and critical praise (or lack thereof) are often the most visible things that seem to shape the fate of any given show, but they're not always the most influential. That said, it is bizarre to see people like Neil Gaiman have to get on social media and encourage viewers to stream shows on specific dates because that is when Netflix will be looking at the numbers to make the call on renewal or whatever. From what I've heard the Cowboy Bebop show was not good enough to live up to the expectations of an audience of early viewers (i.e. people who love the original anime) and didn't pick up enough steam before bad word of mouth killed it. This whole thing is very relevant to the entertainment sector strikes as well - it would be a huge victory for the unions if they can pressure the streamers and the studios to be more transparent in their measurement, which influences compensation for things like residuals. Obviously they don't want to do that because then the jig will be up for a lot of things, like advertising revenue.

I don't think there was a personal component for how they treat writers. From my experience somebody at the top level said "get this done by q3 2022 or it's your rear end" and then everything just naturally rolls from there.

Megaman's Jockstrap posted:Rings of Power is horrible, but Wheel of Time is somehow worse. No vitality whatsoever. I won't fault you if you still feel this way, but I'm curious, have you watched season 2 of Wheel of Time? It's a dramatic improvement over season 1. So much so that I'm curious what the hell happened behind the scenes between seasons. Like, I know season 1 ended with some bullshit involving Covid, and some conflict involving the actor playing Mat (I'm not assigning blame one way or the other, just that it caused problems), but those was far from the only problems with season 1. Season 2, 4 episodes in, is just so much better in every way. I doubt Rings of Power will be able to pull off the same thing, but like I said, I don't know how WoT pulled it off in the first place.

I'm not as positive on it as the OP but there has been an improvement, but I still think 8 episodes and a plotting that goes too fast then too slow are still major hobbles. E: CelticPredator posted:One Piece has some very odd fan film esq visuals but those actors kill it and elevated it. I’ve watched a few episodes twice ngl lmao Lol I can see that. The fight scenes are uniformly excellent and it's a really fun cast.

Live action Cowboy Bebop was doomed unless it was a Stranger Things-esque hit since it went super over budget after Cho got injured during filming.

I didn't even really like Disney animated movies as a kid. And my first roommate in college was huge into anime and we watched a bunch together and like I said I just disliked it a lot. Sorry
