Are they splitting it up in multiple seasons? Please God, can you make them be cancelled before they get to it? :(
Might be a blessing in disguise. Bebop is relatively niche and this butchering of it won't draw fans of the anime.
The characters aren't going to be smoking either. Smoking is bad M'kay.
Does Disney have a share in Netflix? They have an autistic no smoking policy.

It exists solely to please the soccer moms that were complaining at fucking Stranget Things 4 of all things for having so many chainsmoking characters.

Soon there'll be no cigarettes left in media and all coolness will leave this world once and for all.
 
I do remember when people kept floating their ideas for a live action Cowboy Bebop back in the Aughts, with photoshopped posters and everything and I thought "a live action Cowboy Bebop would definitely be a bad idea", then and even moreso now.

I remember in the 2000s there was supposed to be a Keanu Reeves movie based on Bebop, wonder what that would have been like?

If they can't even get her fucking hairband right, imagine how much they'll fucking butcher Speak Like a Child. That episode may be somewhat unfocused, but it has some of the best writing ever made by a human.

Cowboy Bebop is one of the best things I've seen in any medium, let alone anime, it really is phenomenally good.

It's one of those things that you do not fuck up when adapting, yet that's what they're doing anyway, it reminds me of the Dark Tower movie, I can't believe there exists live action adaptions of both Dark Tower and Cowboy Bebop and yet I have no desire to see either, how do you fuck up so bad?

I fucking hate smoking but even I can admit that it looks really cool in Bebop, it's a big part of Bebop's overall aesthetic, right down to a cigarette being lit in the intro.

Why can't they just have some throwaway line about these being future cancer free cigarettes?
 
edit: wrong thread, I take the L.

I agree with the Ramona Flowers vibes, now I can't unsee it.
 
Última edición:
The race swapping is so fucking bizarre because this is the one adaptation where they could've been super diverse while still being pretty faithful to the source material. Faye's explicitly a gypsie/Romani and I literally cannot think of representation of that in any sort of mainstream media. And with the fro and Spiegel surname Spike is clearly supposed to be jewish, you can even make him a super dark skinned Israeli jew if you want. I swear at one point they were even gonna race swap fucking Ein because they though it didn't matter he was a corgi, but at least they changed their mind there

The anime gave them a blank check to write whatever sort of genderqueer nonbinary POC they want for Ed so I can't wait to see the trainwreck
They cast a 14 year old Maori girl as Ed

Return to tradition.

“Spike doesn’t have his messy hair or world-weary expression, so I’m really worried about this.”
“I’ve actually seen cosplay that looks better than this.”
“Looks like some sort of gag cosplay session.”
“This just looks somehow off to me.”
“They look more like the cast of Black Lagoon.”
“Looks more like City Hunter to me.”

“Hmm…not entirely sold, but I’ll probably watch it to see how it is.”
“It’s good to see they’re trying to stay close to the original work and not making all sorts of weird changes. Not sure if I’m confident they can pull it off, though.”

There’s some people that like that this is happening, but overall, this is just a disaster that will be bound to happen when this gets released in full.

Damn, never was a fan of smoking in real life since smokers are trashy assholes 70% of the time but this will be a terrible loss.

That would be too complicated or something I guess. Maybe the tards in charge think it will encourage zoomers to smoke.

Which fucking reminds me, band kids will see this show and butcher the music ala this


I'm sorry for your ears.

You're joking right? The race swapping going on with this show is fucking weird.
Its so weird because there is no shortage of tall, busty and shapely latina women in spanish soap operas. Only in American media are we stuck with the short, stumpy ones.
For whatever reason Hollywood went from sexy women, Latina women especially, to the ugly fat goblins for woke points. That's despite the fact everyone knows making your actresses intentionally ugly is appealing to no one but deathfats.
 
People are caught up on Faye's costume and Jet being blackwashed, but why is a dude named Spike Spiegel being played by an Asian man?
Let me guess, "martial arts guy == Chinese" in the woke-soaked brain?

In defense of high school marching bands that doesn't involve their inexperience, they don't have the reverb they'd get if they were inside.

We've gone full circle back to racial stereotyping.
Modern US culture despises beauty and loves ugliness.

It's no surprise that they would ruin one of the sexiest characters ever.
2d>3d with a few exceptions.

This live action cowboy bebop does not even look like it would be worth pirating.
