I've completely refused to watch any clips from the Netflix show because I knew it would be bad the moment they announced it. So instead of lamenting the fate of a beloved franchise I've been reveling in its artistry instead. I really don't understand the kind of hubris that makes people think they can somehow top this, especially with the limitations of live-action

Yeah if I recall correctly, they were literally just saying "we wanted to do justice to the original and improve it in some aspects"

And if I know Trannywood that means that ol' Beep Boop wasn't woke enough for em
 
Can you faggots please make a separate thread for this autistic two-page-long anime discussion?
 
It's pretty much what I expected based on the trailers. Just a fun campy show, not the second coming. The criticisms in this thread are valid, there are a lot of missteps, but they just don't bother me as much. You can tell a lot of love went into the production design, and I think the three leads all do a good job (even if Spike and Faye are quite different from the anime).
just finished it, i think its a ok show at best as a television show but as a remake its a complete joke. also i think they got this mf to play ed

I think you both have god awful taste in shows if you thought this pile of trash was anything close to even mediocre, let alone good.
 
Ed's actor sounds like they're channeling Rosie O'Donnell from 'Riding the Bus with My Sister', going full-on re‎tard.
 
Another franchise gets the disastrous re-imagining treatment by the modern entertainment industry. Amazing. Everything about this looks abysmally disappointing or cranked up to max queer pandering.
Just saw the front page video and Immediately thought it was some fan parody not the actual show, I think they missed the point that Ed wasn't constantly shouting just constantly spouting nonsense.
EDIT: Not going to lie the black guy playing Jet Black really does fit especially his voice it's really close to the original so at least they got something right.
Jet's actor looks to be the only actor with any talent and who actually sounds, looks and acts like the character he's based on despite having a darker complexion and a mustache. What a waste of talent.
 
The bald-with-facial-hair look, and he had a deep voice in the dub (I only saw this show on Adult Swim back in the day). Yeah, he's black, or so I thought. It's not that far off of a conclusion, and if you think otherwise, eh.
I was gonna just leave it, but your reasoning is too dumb to ignore.

Seriously though, I'm pretty sure the canonical story points to Jet being Middle Eastern/North African, possibly Moroccan.
 
Jesus christ did they butcher Vicious.

I know some people say Vicious is kind of a stock villain but...he's really not. He's used sparingly to heighten his presence as a threat. He's a cold snake with enough mystery behind him to add some kind of intrigue. He's a credible opponent and a foil for Spike. I've always found him memorable that way.

This version of him is such a lame limp-dick. Like, you can add more to a villain's backstory and even give them more layers of sympathy without completely neutering their credibility as an enemy.

Yeah Vicious works as a great villain as he is a reminder of Spike’s past. The show makes him a cartoon character who acts like they belong in a Saturday morning cartoon more than any other character in this show. He also has an obsession with Spike (known as Fearless to show how cool he is in Netflix Bebop) when the most he gave a shit about Spike is when Spike was in his way and didn’t send random assassins to kill him every week.
