New Tokyo is just conquered China, its a syi-fi movie let their imaginations go wild! What are the chances that all the changes make sense in converting ghost in the shell into an hollywood movie or this is just the "yang" to Edge of Tomorrow in terms of quality? Then how much does that quality actually matter to you? Tenzarin fucked around with this message at 03:10 on Mar 18, 2017 |

In Fast and the Furious Tokyo Drift, they take a make Ford Mustang '67, with a Skyline GT-R RB26DETT engine salvaged from Han's Nissan Silvia. Talk about white washing.

Kingtheninja posted:I'm thinking about diving in to some of this stuff, there's the two movies, SAC, and something called arise? Just watch anything really, but the tv series was the best stuff made about the about it, in my opinion. First and the second season, the second season really opens up with some of the other team characters. Watch Arise if you really like the series. One of my favorite ones is where Saito tells a story about how he met the major, I think its also the episode he talks the most. Some of the best episodes don't even have the major in them. The second season has a better build up at the end because all that happens in the first season is that a crazy intelligent person finds out something bad and crazy being done but does not want to fight and just finds the major and tells her everything. Even the side characters get action at the end of the second season even if all it is just punching some guy trying to carjack them which is related to the plot.

Mithaldu posted:I loved the part at the start where it explains what Ghost in the Shell means, as if talking to a grade schooler. What does ghost in the shell mean? How did Batou get robot eyes? Why is the Major a robot person? These are some questions that I was never really interested in about the series but they answer them all in the first 30 minutes of the movie. Just got back from the movie myself and not too sure what to think. They crammed scenes from a lot of scenes from across the series into this movie almost to the point its like a star wars prequel, Arise: memory issues. gits95: dump truck/false memory, spider tank, jumping through the window scene, puppet master end scene. SAC: Doctor and the needles. SAC2ndgig: kuze, refugees, uploading the refugees. Innocence, geisha robots and the Yakuza bar shoot out All these tied together to make a 100 minute movie. The movie jumped around so much it was almost comical. Armaki only talking in Japanese was almost annoying. To say something nice about the movie, it's like DmC to Devil May Cry. Junior Jr. posted:I was confused on how they dealt with the 'white washing', so they arrest a japanese girl, and change her whole body with western facial prosthetics to make her blend in with the natives of Neo Tokyo while working for Section 9? also according to her real mother, she was an 'anti-tech activist' pffft lol. If their only goal was to make a female robot cop, why did they even go through such lengths and illegality? You would think such a large company would have access to people wanting to be robot people and not have to resort to kidnapping people and turning them into robot cop. One thing better about all of the original content is that robot people are normal and not alarming to anyone in that universe and they already know how to make robot people. This movie could have almost been called Deus Ex and no one would have noticed. Tenzarin fucked around with this message at 23:14 on Mar 31, 2017 |

I don't understand how they can take so much source material from all the different gits shows and they choose not to copy how they have sniper rifles that can explode heads. They copy the same scene and only change that part. frank.club posted:People's heads don't get exploded in John Wick (too fiercely) but the choreography and pacing of the fights in the first movie are great. People's heads don't explode in John Wick because it is not a Sci-fi movie "based" on gits. Tenzarin fucked around with this message at 06:15 on Apr 1, 2017 |

Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith has a PG-13 rating, and they have Anakin Skywalker cut off Count Dooku's hands and head in the first 30 minutes. They show Refugees get Space Station 13'd into robots but they cant show a robot head explode?

For those who have seen 'Live Die Repeat', I recommend reading 'All you need is Kill', the series it was based on. I think you can find it on google translated for free(?). Just compare how that series was turned into American movie and how much source material they even needed to use. It's a comic book, not like a book book.

fivegears4reverse posted:Not only that, The Manga for All you need is Kill is really bad on pretty much every level. I thought the manga was very pretty and cool and told a more complete story than the American movie did.  I really want to stress how little they used of the source material to make the American movie. I don't know japanese so I'll never read the book, so someone else would have to point out that they used alot more for me. Tenzarin fucked around with this message at 04:03 on Apr 3, 2017 |

My favorite part is how it took all the source material, that's like a Twinkie. And they sucked out all the white filling goodness and then used it all to make a single movie. When there is only the yummy filling with nothing to contrast it then nothing is special.

In Gits 2nd SAC, he wanted to help refugees to upload their brains to the internet so they could be free and not live in slums. I think in this he used morty dumb waves to hide his rick smart waves so he could hack the major?

I can't wait for the future of the superman movie with a black actor as superman. Tell you the truth, Hollywood has already stolen comic book characters and made them black for no reason. Kingpin, one of the most feared and powerful crime lords in the Marvel Universe, played by Michael Clarke Duncan.  Guess they didn't think a white guy playing Kingpin would have been believable.  Why did no one cry for you Kingpin? Tenzarin fucked around with this message at 11:27 on Apr 23, 2017 |
