Cowboy Bebop Thread - Live-Action Adaptation cancelled after one season (it was shit)

[Uranus Pink]

Why do people love remakes so fucking much? I mean some people must love these remakes if they keep making these steaming piles of recycled garbage. I genuinely do not know what the demographic for this is.

Companies want all or as much of the profit with the remake, where as just syndicating and/or streaming the original show they would have pay royalties from a smaller amount of income. That is an economic point of view.

There was recently an HBO or Netflix or whatever adaptation of the first book in the Altered Carbon series that managed to do cyberpunk future dystopia pretty fucking well IMO. The plot was a bit of a hackjob but I had no issues with the set design or effects.

There wasn't anything tremendously fancy in Bebop visually speaking. Some kung fu fighting, some gun shoots, and some shots of spaceships flying around - all of this is shit easily accomplished with even low effects budgets. The biggest area they could fuck up would be sets - it would be really unfortunate if they green screened a ton of shit instead of building some decent decorations and choosing locations well.

You know, there's a lot that can be done with Cowboy Bebop.
If they are smart about it, they could adapt Spike's years in the Red Dragon Syndicate which would make for a good noir like crime drama on Mars with minimal Sci-Fi and some good ass music. Or just focus on the Julia storyline. I mean, they obviously wouldn't want to adapt the manga (a lot of things that could be considered homophobic/controversial happen in there, especially for the Netflix audience).

Spoiler: some manga stuff

As an aside, I love how people will say things like, "You couldn't make something like this today. Times are so different now." When you totally could if you were willing to tell a tiny minority of whining people to fuck off and die. Because it's still funny.

I'm with you, but the adaption is happening because of financial reasons more than anything else.
You certainly can do that. But it wouldn't make that sweet, sweet $$$.

When you totally could if you were willing to tell a tiny minority of whining people and the massive corporations who pander to their every whim for woke points and cheap marketing and whose ad revenue would fund said project to fuck off and die. Because it's still funny.

FTFY.

Aside from remakes sometimes being economically beneficial, there are some people who are of the mindset that cartoons are for kids and therefore don't want to watch animated TV series or films. Also, while this may not be applicable to Cowboy Bebop as it's well-known for having a good English version and people tend to find cartoon dubs easier to digest than live action dubs on average, there are a lot of numbskulls who refuse to watch foreign language TV shows and movies because of reasons like "subtitles can give you ebola" or "I don't like when a show or a film has a cultural perspective that is too different from my own".

So basically it's fucking normies ruining everything again REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

On a slightly more serious note, that's honestly a damn shame. I find it ironic that even with all their constant posturing about being super woke and diverse Netflix constantly waters down japanese media into shit more american than the superbowl.

It's true, some people just simply can't wrap their heads around anime, they're too biased towards animation as being "for kids" to take it seriously, it's a real shame.

"I don't like when a show or a film has a cultural perspective that is too different from my own".

This part's pretty funny because Shinichiro Watanabe is a westaboo.

Dye her hair blonde, and she'll definitely look the part.

Buuuuuttttt, Netflix: This isn't a progressive enough casting choice! First off, she's white and cisgendered. And secondly, you're playing up the casting stereotype of pairing a middle aged man with a hot, significantly younger woman! You white heteronormative sexists!

 

[XYZpdq]

wow she's not obviously twice the age of the character she'll never match Spike

I don't think many people do.

Kinda like that Riverdale show. It has absolutely nothing to do with the original Archy but its tween audience doesn't know anything about Archy so it doesn't matter. My theory is that they're trying to get rage clicks to give their show an initial ratings boost.

 

[Stab You in the Back]

My theory is that they're trying to get rage clicks to give their show an initial ratings boost.

There's probably some Hollywood contract magic where the production company gets to keep more of the revenue if they hire someone to adapt a licensed property versus hiring someone to create it wholecloth.

I have all three volumes of this manga. I loved it.

Do you think they'll rectify one of the few mistakes of the anime and have the actress playing Faye do nude scenes?

Is it Netflix after all, most of their shows tend to have nudity.

So the reports about Netflix not getting a Corgi to play Ein are not true, I guess?

Damn. I'm both happy and sad about this. Happy because YAY! Cute corgi! Sad because I may actually sit though this piece of trash show for the cute doggo now.

They told us see you space cowboy... with spike dying at the end for a reason.
