Anyone else smell seething jealousy going by that statement? Can't handle that the land if the rising sun does what she does only better, same goes for the comics v Manga debate.
And that's because of one reason: Japan treats its IP with at least some base level of respect.
Sure, it may not prove completely immune (The Mario Galaxy Movie). But even the bad mangas still try to be fun and entertaining. They come up with a premise and stick to it. I can expect fights in a Dragon Ball series. I can expect Pirates in a piece of One Piece media. I can expect a team of five, or a girl squad in Super Sentai/Power Rangers, or a Magical Girl Show. They don't try to subvert my expectations; they don't change the plot halfway through; they sure as hell don't try to make 'their version' of an author's work. They deliver on the concept because if they start to fail, they get shit-canned.
If I watch "Christianity Sucks the Anime" or "Sports Guys Fucking" or "Pathetic Loser goes to Another World and gets all the bitches and is super cool," I get what's in the title.
What do we have here? The boys? Invincible? These shows? Star Wars, Star Trek, and Dr. Who? They either piss on the fans that built the foundations, or whimper about how they didn't have diversity, or shove so much shit into it that it's just a mess. While in Japan, these statements would get an SOB fired or fined, or both.
It's like everyone who's whining about Musk being a trillionaire. It's fucking envy about those who took risks and were successful.
The next time someone says Viv gets shit because she's a woman. Tell them to watch FMA:B or read the manga, because trust me, that's proof women can write, because I struggle to think of a tighter, better-written manga/anime than that.
