Hey the show is not bad I know a lot of people born after the 90s will never understand the 70s exploitation movies but that's where the basis of the show and the style of the show kinda comes from . Now u Kno 👍
Okay so I’ve seen a lot of live action so I think the use of the matrix slow motion but fast moving characters wills help. Anime shows a human element that’s is disconnected from our society but when you see the matrix it’s still standard for action film. People need to be okay with a bit of extra flash on screen I think to enjoy. Scott pilgrim is my the best second example where people just accepted that it’s more animated then what is usually. Also some people express themselves in animated ways as well in real life so I can see subtle good animated movie coming but, film writers understand people so idk why it’s so hard to makes development subtle in films. But maybe it’s the average movie goer who doesn’t think about films
Ryan Reynolds would've made a better Cowboy Bebop. I'm not dying on the inside from cringe at all. XD I don't feel like the writers ACTUALLY watched the show and understood why context and scenes were important.
Now Netflix's shills are saying it "wasn't supposed to be good." If it wasn't supposed to be good, then why was it made? To inflate egos? Maybe it was just to rejoice in the destruction of a classic anime and to see the tears that its real fans shed. Either way, it wasn't worth it.
I read 'inflate egos' as 'inflate eggs' the first time around and I find both readings as equally worthless as a point to a production anyone thinks I'll spare my time for.
I mean The Matrix is legendary a this point, but props to the actors, they trained for something like four months with Hong Kong choreographers so the actors themselves could do full-body fighting shots. It was a ton of work, but it paid off! BebopFlix comes off as lazy. At least Cho did a few moves.

I think for me the worst offense of this series is how some claim this “improved” the anime. When I heard that I nearly popped a vein. Bad enough Netflix produced garbage but to have the audacity to make that claim is BS. The original series had its problems but there’s a reason why it is just as beloved now as it was back when it was made. It was timeless. Watanabe and his team put so much effort and care into the series and had the talent to boot. This reject series can’t even claim that. It would be one thing if this series actually improved the small issues of the original but it doesn’t. Overall F Netflix. F the people who arrogantly try to defend this series and try to claim that this is better than the original. Not in a million years.
Some of those ''creators'' can't do anything by themselves. They make reboots/remakes/adaptations of previous works, mutilate them beyond recognition except for few references and try to sell it as better or fixed. Those works aren't made of love for the original. It's made out of spite to ''make those fanboys cry''. This people would paint over the ''Mona Lisa'' and call it an improvement.
Yeah that also made me fucking angry. Cowboy Bebop had the balls to tackle incredible serious subjects but the writing was so God damn amazing that the show always feel grounded and real. The people not the setting of course. Every single person in this anime feels like an actual individual with flaws and desires. But Netflix turned them into cartoon versions of them. This is a parody. How can they claim they improved on something that was nearly perfect. Fuck that.
I think marvel type writing is what ruined movies and shows. Now people get bored if they don't get an elementary style joke every 10 min or deadpool characters. Now a story has to be told instead of just shown.
In their minds they did "Improve" it. There is now a black man and a latina woman. Instead of all the characters being white males or "Exploited females". You have to look at it from their perspective as NPCS possessed by identity politics. Then it makes you less mad they would say that. Its still just as ridiculous though.
LOL, well son because if they release garbage without a name that attracts an already established fan base, nobody would watch it. Any other questions? LOL
"I didn't want it to be a dystopia" But it literally is! Have they seen what happened to Earth? Have they seen the vast drug empire across the system? "I wanted it to be nostalgic and hopeful" It was those too! All of it. A depressed mess of a world where everyone scrounges just to find their next meal and no one can escape a gaping hole in their heart and when it's all over you cry that it had to end because it was beautiful.
The fact that more than 1 person thought that's was ok and a fun joke make me think if these people are real, seems like they're some kind of NPC and everyone just agrees with everything
At least with Netflix’s Death Note you can laugh at how bad it was and appreciate what they did with Ryuk, but with Cowboy Bepop it’s agonizing how much they’ve butchered.
I unironically respect Death Note way more because it wasn't great, but at least they went all out in actually doing their own thing. Is it better than the original? Fuck no. But they absolutely had an original idea for what they wanted to do with the concept and they went for it.
I swear, they keep making terrible content like this just so youtubers/content creators will have a constant stream of garbage to complain about. It's weirdly helpful in a way. Too bad they have to smear good stories by proxy along the way.
Most likely. They have a web series where some drag queens shit talk some of their shows. They also fund good shit like Stone Ocean and Beastars . You take the good with the bad.
Appearantly they shoved so much "strong female Character" into Faye that they had to take it away from Catarina. I didn't know writing had to follow the 1st law of thermodynamics
Holy god how can faye be so unlikeable in like 10 lines of dialog lol, but it's ok cause they gave her all the strong traits they stole from the other female characters. Right?
She went to the Disney Channel school of acting for this. Everything is smug and snarky but it's ok because I'm a cool teenager that is smarter than everyone around me! It only works when your audience is 10 and there is a constant laugh track for all the shitty jokes and one liners.
One of the comments here said something about the anime feels more mature without the swearwords and that person is absolutely right. The anime has some humor, but is overall pretty serious and mature. It deals with mature themes in a very good way, it does not shovel every info into your brain, it leaves space for imagination or in other words: it makes you think. The US Netflix BS version shovels everything into your face... with a sledgehammer so that every dumbo knows whats happening and does not feel "left out". A typical modern Hollywood problem, dumb it down so it appeals to everyone, while actually appeal to noone.
Me being angry at Jeff Bezos for not getting Arcane to deny Netflix the new influx of subscribers and resulting income to fund live-action atrocities is a weird feeling.
I have a question for you guys. Why is there so much obscene language in this series? In the anime, all the characters were much more decent and intelligent people. Even the bums in Jupiter Jazz looked normal. Is this part of a new culture that Netflix is pushing hard?
Swearing is the Bad Writers Crutch for making stories mature. It's also a crutch for people that can't write jokes because "PEOPLE FUCKING SWEARING IS THE FUNNIEST FUCKING SHIT IVE EVER GODDAMN SEEN" Granted, people in real life (myself included) do swear alot. For me it's a verbal space filler because I lose my train of thought alot, eg; "Yeah dude, uhhh fuckin uhhh, what's for lunch?" But if its an attempt to capture people that swear regularly it always fails hard
They make this kind of trash to people who are "too kool to watch anime". Since the target demographic doesn't know about the source material they feel free to put their greasy hands all over it. Are you ready for Netflix One Piece?
I'm so happy to see all these big budget shows are using Batwoman as an inspiration. Unironically, I was reminded of Alice every time Julia was onscreen.
Then don’t let go of that disappointment just yet because they’re also doing live action adaptations of Gundam, Yu-Yu Hakusho, and One Piece in the near future…
@@BruhMoment-fr4zr I might have an aneurysm if the live-action Hellsing adaptation turns out terrible. It's being directed by one of the John Wick guys though, so I have a sliver of hope that it might actually be good.
Chess hasn't been updated in almost 200 years and it's obvious the devs have abandoned it. The greedy creators took your money and laughed all the way to the bank. I remember back in 705 AD when chess was fun. Then they started adding stupid features no one wanted like "Castling" and "En Passant" instead of listening to player feedback and fixing game-breaking bugs. I've been complaining for YEARS about the collision-detection glitch with the horsey. The "clipping-thru-pieces" bug has been abused to death and the lazy devs refuse to fix it. Don't support this awful behaviour and boycott this company.
"You know this perfect thing that everyone loves and everyone agrees is perfect?" "Yes?" "Let's change everything about it to make it even betterer." "Sounds like a great plan to me!"
I'm so sick of this. I really can't express the profundity of my disgust and anger. This show and especially its soundtrack have meant so much to my life. Why do they have to destroy everything? We can't even have our nerdy little hobbies?
As long as nobody remembers or knows about Cowboy Bebop's anime successor Darker Than Black and never attempt to do reboots or live-action adaptations of it (including the Japanese' shitty live-action adaptations), I'll be sitting pretty. But unfortunately, Cowboy Bebop suffers from success in this way... Even the Western studios are looking for ways to make their very own dumpster-fires of [INSERT HIGH-PROFILE NAME RECOGNITION IP HERE].
This is precisely why I was dreading Netflix entering the anime scene. It's bad enough these Western corporations are staffed with spergy ideologues, they're also headed by the same corpo fucks that torpedoed our own entertainment industry.
Look at the last ten years. They have been going through everything in our culture that was significant and destroying it. It's what people who think Socialism is a good idea do.
@@DarkCyberElf Darker Than Black is Cowboy Bebop successor? Don't get me wrong, I love that show (more like loved the first season, but loved the fight scenes after that).
Because they are talentless morons who couldn't write an original story if their life depended on it. So they just take stuff that already exists and try to make money off of it.
“Ok so, Spike looks over 40 despite being in his twenties, Jet Black was raceswap half for brownie points and half for a lame “blackmail” joke, Faye is an obnoxious girlboss action chick with some of the worst lines in the show, Gren is non-binary while ignoring the fact that in the original anime the point of his character was to show how he was forced against his will to undergo a sex change, Vicious is literally a joke and is treated like a Saturday morning cartoon villain, Julia is somehow both victimized and empowered at the same time, Ed is now cringe incarnate, and the whole show feels like D-tier MCU sludge...But it’s a pretty good series that respects the original anime and does new things that adds to the story. 8/10 Thx Netfux.” -some blue checkmark critic on twitter
When Vicious said "mushi, mushi", I got a feeling that a rope to the neck is a perfect way to bungee jump out of this hell. That's not even how it's pronounced. It's a lot closer to "mosi" than "mushi." In fact, just say "hello" or "what is it?" because goddamn that was painful to listen to.
It honestly feels like when they watched cowboy bebop, they treated it like a writing prompt for a school project. Instead of appreciating the show, they only thought about how they could make it their own while still calling it cowboy bebop
So an odd thing to point out, in the subtitles of cowboy bebop Gren says he was essentially an addict and that the drugs caused a hormonal shift in his body and was slowly killing him. Some stuff gets changed between dubbing, but either way definitely not what he wanted to happen. Also, I feel jet was changed due to his VA being black, and Faye is just a really bad personification of her anime counterpart. I mean she was annoying and petty sometimes in the anime but they ramped her up to 11 in the live action. Would recommend watching the anime in its original Japanese though, I think it makes the show better somehow.
@@joshuabonesteel2303 If you are actually naive enough to believe that they made Jet Black a Black man because his English VA is Black, and not for the purpose of pushing their political agenda, I've got a bridge in Brooklyn that's for sale.
"How can we change this already-perfect thing to make it even better?" "It's obvious, race swap everyone, cover up the _disgusting exposed flesh_ of that one female character, make all the characters older, and get a non-anorexic non-binary to play Ed." "Brilliant! That will make it even more perfecter than it already was!"
Let’s see, how many characters have been gender/race swapped that I could list. •The Human Torch •Ghost •Kang (the variant version) •Taskmaster •Jet Black •Valkyrie •Baron Mordo •Star-fire •Deadshot •Captain Mar-Vell (kinda)
Serious question was jet white? I always assumed he was light skinned and the grey was a stylistic thing. Also cause he last name was black. Then again I thought spike was Jewish because he last name's speilgel so Im probably wrong.
@@cjjolly7326 to be honest the skin color is irrelevant in this show, because it is focused on how this new wild west kind vibe world in space feels like. the. only ethnicities that i think are relevant is faye because we have hints of european blood, spike maybe japanese close to yakusa type.
@@cjjolly7326 his anime depiction doesn't even show him to have black features. And there are plenty of black people with the last name White, which I find amusing.
@@cjjolly7326 As a black person, yes jet definitely isn't black literally this is cowboy bebop who actually put effort differential on characters I seen black characters in this anime that don't look basic nor offensive. Honestly this is Japan no offense anime fans knows how some anime dipicture us because we are the elephant in the room that sticks out in their society. Btw just because a person has a color name doesn't equal there race.... I have a black friend who isn't mixed his last name is white....
I will never forgive Netto Bebop for a number of things, and at the top of that list is what the show did to Gren and Faye. They really ruined those characters just to score brownie points.
They made Gren into a stereotypical non-binary person. I have nothing against Gren being non-binary but they could’ve at least kept the same appearance for Gren, it’s a completely different vibe imo
@@TAB00 Considering that Gren wasn't non-binary to begin with like how Faye was never a lesbian to begin with, I can't even accept that change. Even though he was a minor character, Gren was a great character that deserved alot more than being changed into a tokenized parody.
Wow. Ironic how the anime from the 90s had a female with more agency, then the supposedly more work modern day live action one featuring race swapped as well as gender neutral characters
Did anyone think this show wouldn’t be giant dumpsterfire of cringe? Everyone was wondering when Ed was going to be brought in and I’m over here baffled why anyone would want Ed in this abomination? Its Netflix, you know they’re going to make her an alphabet person.
I watched it for the first time in 2001, the night it premiered on Adult Swim, a channel I didn't even know existed until I happened to turn to it that moment. That show has been with me ever since. I even carried the DVDs with me into war every time I was deployed. It is a series that truly is great, as Weekend Warrior said.
@@BruhMoment-fr4zr At the very least Death Note is meant to be unsettling, which is what Dutch angles are meant to convey. Netflix Bebop didn't even *try* to use them correctly
If I may paraphrase Ebert, "the director, (in that instance Roger Christian), has learned from better films that directors sometimes tilt their cameras, but he has not learned why."
I think I realized why Vicious was the way he is. He's meant to be the spoiled rich (most important feature is that he's white, straight, and male and by default that means he doesn't deserve anything he has) kid. I think the writers thought they had made a genius lampooning of rich white men everywhere and all would cope and seeth.
And, like usual, the Woke went broke, and coped and seethed on Twitter about losing their jobs and demanding sympathy and empathy from the people they tried to harm.
Worse yet, the only acceptable character in this adaptation is Edward... And they dressed her like a bootleg clown. Faye is insulting. She's not clever. She acts like fucking harley Quinn... And its not about the actions. Faye is sometimes a daredevil. But she doesn't laugh like a maniac. She just lights up a cigarette and enjoys the moment in silence. This is Jinx from League of legends. The og anime was the embodiment of blues. With Ed to lighten up the moment. Here, everybody is ED! reason why Ed is more fitting in this adaptation, because she is the only character that should act like an hyperactive child. Here, everyone is an immature brat that takes nothing seriously. Ed then has no purpose for the adaptation.
And I kind of feel like the reason they didn't use Faye's iconic outfit is that the chick would look awful in it.. Not exactly someone, who could do seductress you'd believe, which I guess could explain the changes to her personality.
Just those brief scenes you showed within the first minute of your vid made me feel sick. Faye is definitely the worst offender. Instead of a strong woman, we get a bratty child. Someone actually approved this. 😔 On the other hand, your transition to your sponsor is top notch. 👍
The problem I have with live action remakes is that the animation creates a large amount of the medias identity, and either they shamelessly recreate them near word for word like almost all of them or they just make it straight up worse in every aspect including directing, writing, cinematography, editing, and choreography (ahem mulan). Or maybe in cases like the jungle book it was just a weird middle ground between those two. They just don't fucking work and more people need to realize this.
Some of those ''creators'' can't do anything by themselves. They make reboots/remakes/adaptations of previous works, mutilate them beyond recognition except for few references and try to sell it as better or fixed. Those works aren't made of love for the original. It's made out of spite to ''make those fanboys cry''. This people would paint over the ''Mona Lisa'' and call it an improvement.
and....its cancelled! Congratulations everyone! We have another trash adaptation? Yep Do we have to deal with it for another season? Fuck No!!!! I see this as a absolute win!
@@WeekendWarrior1 I actually surprised it got cancelled So many trash Netflix series get 2 or 3 more seasons and this one was so horrible they cancelled lol
Gren was a perfect character for trying to get people to empathize with the idea of gender dysphoria. This was back when the series first came out, and people had a harder time expressing themselves. It was helpful and liberating for people to be able to point to the character and what was done to *him* and say, "How would you feel if someone forced gender changes onto you?" But this push for a supposed "non-binary icon" robs people of that. Never mind that anime and games are more and more presenting us with characters like Astolfo or Venti. Hell, even Crim from Reviewers, a silly show, but a legitimate character with both sexes who expresses primarily as a feminine male. But, of course, those characters don't specifically refer to themselves with western gender terminology, so they're tossed to the wayside in favor of ruining an excellent case study in gender dysphoria so pop culture can have its "icon". I'm sick of such nonsense. It really is just all about appealing to demographics and trying to take their money over here.
Man this version of Faye Valentine (or Faux Valentine) is super annoying. It also doesn't help that her actress was crapping on fans who had concerns over the accuracy. Also, watch the original anime. Begun watching it on the same Netflix, and it's great so far.
WW I can't believe I've never watched one of your videos until now. You legit have a unique and charming delivery, and the critique is scathing. Subscrib'd my dude.
It amazes me to no end that there exist people that unironically like this thing. I mean, to each his own, but it's like they revel in mediocrity and redundancy. I just don't get it.
@@chisailor87 ....Marcus Brody would be trans, instead of "older germans" they would fight white privilege men in big corporations. Indiana isn't main character, movie is focused on his work female colleague with much bigger university title on gender studies. She would rescue him all the time because dr Jones is clumsy and dumb...
The Cowboy Bebop live obviously took heavy inspiration from scouts pilgrims, but without Edgar Wright it couldn't succeed it's style. Sometimes live action feels more cartoony than the anime
Not to pile on, although it's well deserved, but given that Catarina is this rich guy's daughter, it doesn't really make sense that the cops would take her out. In the Cowboy Bebop world, the cops would absolutely have been told to take her alive at all costs. Her suicide by cop now makes zero sense.
Oddly enough, that line for why Live Action makes Spike "leave" Julia, makes me think they confused her for HnK's Yuria - even though it was clear she only did it because she didn't want Shin to kill Ken. Heck, even the Vicious design makes me think these guys just ripped off Shin's design and renamed him to Vicious because he doesn't even look as suave as the actual Vicious...or as cold. This show legit looks like a soulless abomination.
Spikes kind of supposed to be that classic haunted past character that we kind of avoid until the end. The whole concept of the show is to kind of mimic classic westerns (one of the any inspirations for the show tbh, there is even some oldschool James Bond in the show) which a lot of that has to do with the fact japanese writers at the time took a lot of inspiration from western works. Many old shows have the same set up. Main character with a haunted past that drifts around with a main cast of characters they are loosely connected to but are never fully focused on. (Even fucking Doctor Who follows this format due to how widely used it was) However they all have defining character traits. Which allows you to not really have a congruent story and tell many small isolated stories with said cast of characters
Here's my prediction: In the end, Netflix's Spike gets close enough to kill Julia and is about to pull the trigger but her puppy dog eyes reverts him to a simp. He backs down and she double crosses him, shooting him and taunts him as he bleeds out. Then, out of nowhere, Faye shoots her between the eyes, grins, and says, "Paybacks a bitch! You know, cause I'm a girl. Ha, I'm so clever." - *Fade to black.* -
So I watched Cowboy Bebop *very* recently (I think it was October of this year) because my friends wanted to get me more into anime and I felt that would be interesting. Bebop was incredible. The fights, the music, the characters. It grabbed me immediately. I won't say I loved every second of it, but I don't think there was an episode that I didn't at least find something to enjoy. I had already heard about Netflix making a Cowboy Bebop adaptation so I gave the trailers a crack and didn't immediately hate it. I was under no impressions that it would be good, but at least it didn't look completely god awful. Apparently that's not true. Thanks for letting me know, weekend. I made a pact with my friends that we would watch the live action Bebop to see how bad it is, so wish me luck so I don't die of cringe.
@@Ivan-co7iz Well, I didn't die, but it was pretty bad lol. We pirated it so we wouldn't have to pay netflix for the experience and we watched the whole series General consensus was "the show on its own is aggressively mediocre, but as an adaptation it fails on all counts (with the possible exception of jet)" The fight scenes were comically bad, Faye is written like a teenage girl trying waaay too hard to be "badass" and just comes off as obnoxious and immature. Like weekend points out, the show refuses to take anything seriously, which subsequently destroys the tension of any situation. They bastardized way more characters than even I expected. Some characters I completely failed to recognize. (Granted, I even as recently as I watched the original, I had trouble remembering everything, which definitely didn't help) We didn't like the subplot with Jet's daughter at all. I personally felt it unnecessary. Jet and Spike don't need any more motivation to grab bounties than simple survival, and the added wrinkle of Jet's daughter really doesn't add much. There is one episode where Spike turns Jet's need to get things for his daughter against him to keep him from leaving a planet that Spike needs to be at but other than that (and of course getting captured in the last ep) Jet's daughter basically adds nothing. Netflix Bebop completely fucks the Syndicate lore from the original anime, as well as rushing Vicious's coup, *and* completely castrating Vicious as a character. Half the time, Vicious does Joker-like "I make crazy faces and do dumb shit I'm so insane and unpredictable" that with the right actor could have been good but with the Vicious they have just makes the man look stupid (we audibly laughed at Vicious's face more than once, which is more than we could say for the jokes) The other half of the time, he's a pathetic loser, with not a shred of intimidating aura on him, with a need to be respected that he never gets. Not once were we even remotely interested in him. We actively made fun of Vicious throughout, nicknaming him "Viscous" and often just lamenting how pathetic and ineffective he was. Overall, the show wasn't as awful as I was expecting. The dynamic between Spike and Jet worked well enough, and I am a sucker for the whole "different people get together and form a non-blood family" thing. The sets looked amazing, for sure. But the Netflix show, like any Netflix adaptation, is all style with no substance. 4/10, just watch the original show lol
Nord's been killing it by allowing meme ads. I think they gave in long ago when people like Internet Historian pump out quality meme ads to seel their brand through humor.
Wait wtf? Why would they change the plot of episodes while keeping the haracters and premise only how hard it is to just make live version not 'adaptation'
What most people call "nitpicks" a talented writer would call love for details. Sure, small details don't make or break the product, but just look at any visual medium - whether it be movies, video games, comic books, cartoons, manga or anime - and you will see that the ones that stood the test of time are usually the ones with a lot of love for small details.
Instead of doing a side story, they did a fanfic. There will be no season 2. Not with this crap. When I looked for it on Netflix, I couldn't even find it. So they already know that this is trash. They should've released this on CW. It might be more worse than Batwoman.
Another problem with Faye is in the anime she's a gunslinging femme fatale. In the movie she's a foul mouthed lesbian martial artist because reasons. She's a female Spike who swears a lot. but hey, they got to check those boxes. Lesbian ✔️, Hispanic ✔️, strong female character ✔️ woke ✔️
I don’t even watch anime or even care about this stuff, yet I feel so sorry for the fans of the source material, this looks so terribly bad Why are people surprised that Netflix butchered yet another show adaptation? It’s Netflix, they either hit or miss
It's funny, All these years I've grumbled and complained that 2D is the peek of any format only to reach the timeline where everything animated is getting live action remakes only to prove my point. Could this show have been better if not for the ULTIMATE cringe? Sure, but the anime is already that. As a species Humanity has represented itself at the dawn of mankind with 2D cave paintings detailing epics and waifus just as we still do today, it is within our DNA to maximize our representation via drawings and no matter how much the normie menace craves to see their vanity played out on screen with live action and realistic 3D they will always feel the emptiness within that they can't explain, THAT WHICH EATS AWAY AT YOU FROM INSIDE IS YOUR SOUL SCREAMING FOR WHAT CAN ONLY BE GIVEN BY DRAWINGS! So remake away I say, sink all their money into nonsense, let them, it only proves our point to the normies more and more, that there is no "but if only they did this" because making live action as good as animation is impossible.
I can agree and disagree. If an animation wants me to sympathize with someone on a human level it's going to have a harder time than live-action. Say a guy's tire blows on his way home from work. He's tired, he's miserable, and he's gotta change that tire. You film this scene and we watch a person struggle through a difficult situation and we can see ourselves or someone we know in the place of the character. There's nothing glamorous about it, and that's part of what helps us sympathize. The same scene either wouldn't be as affecting in animation, or would require a lot more effort (staging smaller moments to draw us into the scene, more involved camerawork, etc) to achieve the same effect. OR we could see the character's strife in an outsized way only possible in animation (the sun overhead perhaps swelling to a gigantic size as the man works, emphasizing the heat. Or the guy's fingers tying themselves into a knot only for him to blink and realize he's hallucinating, that sort of thing) Now, on the other hand, if you wanted to make changing a tire look beautiful, or COOL AS FUCKING SHIT, animation has got you covered. That's because animation is meant to convey things that just wouldn't work in live action, and vice versa. "Anything too stupid to be said is sung," as Voltaire once opined, although I think we could more accurately replace "stupid" with "emotional." The same hold true for live action and anime. You want me to give a damn about your emotional coming of age story, either it should be live action or the protagonist should be piloting a giant mech. Otherwise, what's the point? Animation makes things beautiful, but some things need to not be beautiful if they're going to ve affecting. Anyway, this is way longer than I meant for it to be so I'm going to stop talking now
@@masterprick1 Except the entire point of the term "whitewashing" is to lambast White people being cast as non-White characters, which means the term becomes pointless when bigger roles have non-Whites cast as White characters. In other words, "whitewashing" is a term used by people who are Anti-White, to accuse a show of having a bias for White people. So accusing this show, which is blatantly Anti-White, and is made by people who are unabashedly Anti-White, of having a bias for White people is stupid, when they are clearly biased *against* White people.
Best part of the show was Jet. Spike was decent. For live-action sci-fi television, it wasn't the worst. But yeah, Cowboy Bebop never needed a remake, and this remake seriously pales in comparison to the original. Stop remaking things that don't need remakes. Wish John Cho and Mustafa the best. See you Space Cowboy.

I read 'inflate egos' as 'inflate eggs' the first time around and I find both readings as equally worthless as a point to a production anyone thinks I'll spare my time for.
The reason they made it is obviously to secure the copyright of the series before someone competent make profit out of it.
Netflix pre release: "We improved Cowboy Bebop!"
Netflix post release: "It was supposed to be bad!"
Love how they can "fix the live action" but cant buy the blue ray anime it's on a tape with trash audio
Just copy and paste to everything touched by the folks who want to shove The Message down your moist throat.
I mean The Matrix is legendary a this point, but props to the actors, they trained for something like four months with Hong Kong choreographers so the actors themselves could do full-body fighting shots. It was a ton of work, but it paid off! BebopFlix comes off as lazy. At least Cho did a few moves.
Especially if you consider the fact that two of the lead roles were injured.
@@dark_raven4491 Keanu showed up day one in a neckbrace, Carrie broke her foot, and Hugo had to get a polyp removed from his leg after an injury. Crazy stuff!

I think for me the worst offense of this series is how some claim this “improved” the anime. When I heard that I nearly popped a vein. Bad enough Netflix produced garbage but to have the audacity to make that claim is BS. The original series had its problems but there’s a reason why it is just as beloved now as it was back when it was made. It was timeless. Watanabe and his team put so much effort and care into the series and had the talent to boot. This reject series can’t even claim that. It would be one thing if this series actually improved the small issues of the original but it doesn’t. Overall F Netflix. F the people who arrogantly try to defend this series and try to claim that this is better than the original. Not in a million years.
Some of those ''creators'' can't do anything by themselves. They make reboots/remakes/adaptations of previous works, mutilate them beyond recognition except for few references and try to sell it as better or fixed. Those works aren't made of love for the original. It's made out of spite to ''make those fanboys cry''. This people would paint over the ''Mona Lisa'' and call it an improvement.
Yeah that also made me fucking angry. Cowboy Bebop had the balls to tackle incredible serious subjects but the writing was so God damn amazing that the show always feel grounded and real. The people not the setting of course.
Every single person in this anime feels like an actual individual with flaws and desires. But Netflix turned them into cartoon versions of them. This is a parody. How can they claim they improved on something that was nearly perfect. Fuck that.
Lmao. I liked this adaptation and hearing that makes me wanna profusely piss.
I think marvel type writing is what ruined movies and shows. Now people get bored if they don't get an elementary style joke every 10 min or deadpool characters. Now a story has to be told instead of just shown.
In their minds they did "Improve" it. There is now a black man and a latina woman. Instead of all the characters being white males or "Exploited females". You have to look at it from their perspective as NPCS possessed by identity politics. Then it makes you less mad they would say that. Its still just as ridiculous though.
Some ask, "Why does a live action remake have to be just like the anime?" I ask, "Why did they have to call it Cowboy Bebop?"
LOL, well son because if they release garbage without a name that attracts an already established fan base, nobody would watch it. Any other questions? LOL
@@maybeitsyou1317 Exactly. They wouldn't have gotten a fraction of the hate, but the hate is the only thing that kept a spotlight on it.

At least with Netflix’s Death Note you can laugh at how bad it was and appreciate what they did with Ryuk, but with Cowboy Bepop it’s agonizing how much they’ve butchered.
Willem Dafoe is the only good thing about that movie.
@@Astorath_the_Grim Yea, he was a perfect choice for Ryuk.
I watched their version of death note and HAD to see it as a bad comedy (Pootie Tang level) in order to find a way to enjoy it.
I unironically respect Death Note way more because it wasn't great, but at least they went all out in actually doing their own thing. Is it better than the original? Fuck no. But they absolutely had an original idea for what they wanted to do with the concept and they went for it.
I swear, they keep making terrible content like this just so youtubers/content creators will have a constant stream of garbage to complain about. It's weirdly helpful in a way. Too bad they have to smear good stories by proxy along the way.

11/10, actually giggled irl
Holy god how can faye be so unlikeable in like 10 lines of dialog lol, but it's ok cause they gave her all the strong traits they stole from the other female characters. Right?
Me: *After seeing more of Faye* I've never been more compelled to hit a woman.
She went to the Disney Channel school of acting for this. Everything is smug and snarky but it's ok because I'm a cool teenager that is smarter than everyone around me! It only works when your audience is 10 and there is a constant laugh track for all the shitty jokes and one liners.
The adaptation of Faye makes me insanely sad
Actually scratch that the whole thing makes me sad
She does have a face that makes you want to punch it
One of the comments here said something about the anime feels more mature without the swearwords and that person is absolutely right. The anime has some humor, but is overall pretty serious and mature. It deals with mature themes in a very good way, it does not shovel every info into your brain, it leaves space for imagination or in other words: it makes you think. The US Netflix BS version shovels everything into your face... with a sledgehammer so that every dumbo knows whats happening and does not feel "left out". A typical modern Hollywood problem, dumb it down so it appeals to everyone, while actually appeal to noone.
Me being angry at Jeff Bezos for not getting Arcane to deny Netflix the new influx of subscribers and resulting income to fund live-action atrocities is a weird feeling.
Well you can blame that on riot they could have released that themselves but you know Netflix money
I have a question for you guys. Why is there so much obscene language in this series? In the anime, all the characters were much more decent and intelligent people. Even the bums in Jupiter Jazz looked normal. Is this part of a new culture that Netflix is pushing hard?
Swearing is the Bad Writers Crutch for making stories mature. It's also a crutch for people that can't write jokes because "PEOPLE FUCKING SWEARING IS THE FUNNIEST FUCKING SHIT IVE EVER GODDAMN SEEN"
Granted, people in real life (myself included) do swear alot. For me it's a verbal space filler because I lose my train of thought alot, eg; "Yeah dude, uhhh fuckin uhhh, what's for lunch?" But if its an attempt to capture people that swear regularly it always fails hard
@@seanrydell112 To summarize, Netflix writers
They make this kind of trash to people who are "too kool to watch anime". Since the target demographic doesn't know about the source material they feel free to put their greasy hands all over it.
Are you ready for Netflix One Piece?
I'm so happy to see all these big budget shows are using Batwoman as an inspiration. Unironically, I was reminded of Alice every time Julia was onscreen.
I didn’t even know Netflix made a live action Cowboy Bepop and I already know they disrespected it.
Then don’t let go of that disappointment just yet because they’re also doing live action adaptations of Gundam, Yu-Yu Hakusho, and One Piece in the near future…
Just pray Netflix never tries to adapt Black Lagoon.

Chess hasn't been updated in almost 200 years and it's obvious the devs have abandoned it. The greedy creators took your money and laughed all the way to the bank.

I've been complaining for YEARS about the collision-detection glitch with the horsey. The "clipping-thru-pieces" bug has been abused to death and the lazy devs refuse to fix it.

I'm so sick of this. I really can't express the profundity of my disgust and anger. This show and especially its soundtrack have meant so much to my life. Why do they have to destroy everything? We can't even have our nerdy little hobbies?
As long as nobody remembers or knows about Cowboy Bebop's anime successor Darker Than Black and never attempt to do reboots or live-action adaptations of it (including the Japanese' shitty live-action adaptations), I'll be sitting pretty. But unfortunately, Cowboy Bebop suffers from success in this way... Even the Western studios are looking for ways to make their very own dumpster-fires of [INSERT HIGH-PROFILE NAME RECOGNITION IP HERE].
This is precisely why I was dreading Netflix entering the anime scene. It's bad enough these Western corporations are staffed with spergy ideologues, they're also headed by the same corpo fucks that torpedoed our own entertainment industry.
Look at the last ten years. They have been going through everything in our culture that was significant and destroying it. It's what people who think Socialism is a good idea do.
@@DarkCyberElf Darker Than Black is Cowboy Bebop successor? Don't get me wrong, I love that show (more like loved the first season, but loved the fight scenes after that).
Because they are talentless morons who couldn't write an original story if their life depended on it. So they just take stuff that already exists and try to make money off of it.
The guy that played Jet was the only good part of this adaptation.
“Ok so, Spike looks over 40 despite being in his twenties, Jet Black was raceswap half for brownie points and half for a lame “blackmail” joke, Faye is an obnoxious girlboss action chick with some of the worst lines in the show, Gren is non-binary while ignoring the fact that in the original anime the point of his character was to show how he was forced against his will to undergo a sex change, Vicious is literally a joke and is treated like a Saturday morning cartoon villain, Julia is somehow both victimized and empowered at the same time, Ed is now cringe incarnate, and the whole show feels like D-tier MCU sludge...But it’s a pretty good series that respects the original anime and does new things that adds to the story. 8/10 Thx Netfux.”
-some blue checkmark critic on twitter
When Vicious said "mushi, mushi", I got a feeling that a rope to the neck is a perfect way to bungee jump out of this hell.
That's not even how it's pronounced. It's a lot closer to "mosi" than "mushi." In fact, just say "hello" or "what is it?" because goddamn that was painful to listen to.
It honestly feels like when they watched cowboy bebop, they treated it like a writing prompt for a school project. Instead of appreciating the show, they only thought about how they could make it their own while still calling it cowboy bebop
So an odd thing to point out, in the subtitles of cowboy bebop Gren says he was essentially an addict and that the drugs caused a hormonal shift in his body and was slowly killing him. Some stuff gets changed between dubbing, but either way definitely not what he wanted to happen. Also, I feel jet was changed due to his VA being black, and Faye is just a really bad personification of her anime counterpart. I mean she was annoying and petty sometimes in the anime but they ramped her up to 11 in the live action. Would recommend watching the anime in its original Japanese though, I think it makes the show better somehow.
You do know Spikes age was never a big deal in the anime right only idiots make a big deal out of that.
@@joshuabonesteel2303 If you are actually naive enough to believe that they made Jet Black a Black man because his English VA is Black, and not for the purpose of pushing their political agenda, I've got a bridge in Brooklyn that's for sale.
"How can we change this already-perfect thing to make it even better?"
"It's obvious, race swap everyone, cover up the _disgusting exposed flesh_ of that one female character, make all the characters older, and get a non-anorexic non-binary to play Ed."
"Brilliant! That will make it even more perfecter than it already was!"
Let’s see, how many characters have been gender/race swapped that I could list.
•The Human Torch
•Ghost
•Kang (the variant version)
•Taskmaster
•Jet Black
•Valkyrie
•Baron Mordo
•Star-fire
•Deadshot
•Captain Mar-Vell (kinda)
Serious question was jet white? I always assumed he was light skinned and the grey was a stylistic thing. Also cause he last name was black. Then again I thought spike was Jewish because he last name's speilgel so Im probably wrong.
@@cjjolly7326 to be honest the skin color is irrelevant in this show, because it is focused on how this new wild west kind vibe world in space feels like. the. only ethnicities that i think are relevant is faye because we have hints of european blood, spike maybe japanese close to yakusa type.
@@cjjolly7326 his anime depiction doesn't even show him to have black features. And there are plenty of black people with the last name White, which I find amusing.
@@cjjolly7326 As a black person, yes jet definitely isn't black literally this is cowboy bebop who actually put effort differential on characters I seen black characters in this anime that don't look basic nor offensive. Honestly this is Japan no offense anime fans knows how some anime dipicture us because we are the elephant in the room that sticks out in their society. Btw just because a person has a color name doesn't equal there race.... I have a black friend who isn't mixed his last name is white....
I will never forgive Netto Bebop for a number of things, and at the top of that list is what the show did to Gren and Faye. They really ruined those characters just to score brownie points.
I only just learned Gren was even in it, and he was made non-binary. I already know the answer, but I still need to ask WHY!?
How could you not mention Vicious...? He's unrecognizable and lame.
@@Acesahn A friend of mine said that Netflix Vicious is the Walmart version.
They made Gren into a stereotypical non-binary person. I have nothing against Gren being non-binary but they could’ve at least kept the same appearance for Gren, it’s a completely different vibe imo
@@TAB00 Considering that Gren wasn't non-binary to begin with like how Faye was never a lesbian to begin with, I can't even accept that change. Even though he was a minor character, Gren was a great character that deserved alot more than being changed into a tokenized parody.
this trend of making every female cynical and annoying in the name of "badassery" is bizarre
also cho tried, but he was miscast
This show is like the Pope decided to repaint the Sistine Chapel with stick figures

Why is netflix Faye such a c**t?
You convinced me to finally watch the original series,good job Weekend
its really great
I mean why wouldn’t you?
I've watched the show but would only catch it sometimes when it aired on Toonami if nothing else was on. I second OP's comment.
I watched it for the first time in 2001, the night it premiered on Adult Swim, a channel I didn't even know existed until I happened to turn to it that moment. That show has been with me ever since. I even carried the DVDs with me into war every time I was deployed. It is a series that truly is great, as Weekend Warrior said.
can someone explain show's obsession with dutch angles
"its a mature show.....SHOOOT DIFFERENTLLLLLY" i think its that basic of a thought process
The Death Note adaptation had the exact same problem, it just reeks of amateur cinematography.
Film school rejects. It's the same damn thing in AHS. A lot of dutch angles and forced perspective shots.
@@BruhMoment-fr4zr At the very least Death Note is meant to be unsettling, which is what Dutch angles are meant to convey. Netflix Bebop didn't even *try* to use them correctly
If I may paraphrase Ebert, "the director, (in that instance Roger Christian), has learned from better films that directors sometimes tilt their cameras, but he has not learned why."
I think I realized why Vicious was the way he is. He's meant to be the spoiled rich (most important feature is that he's white, straight, and male and by default that means he doesn't deserve anything he has) kid. I think the writers thought they had made a genius lampooning of rich white men everywhere and all would cope and seeth.
And, like usual, the Woke went broke, and coped and seethed on Twitter about losing their jobs and demanding sympathy and empathy from the people they tried to harm.
Worse yet, the only acceptable character in this adaptation is Edward... And they dressed her like a bootleg clown.
Faye is insulting. She's not clever. She acts like fucking harley Quinn... And its not about the actions. Faye is sometimes a daredevil. But she doesn't laugh like a maniac. She just lights up a cigarette and enjoys the moment in silence. This is Jinx from League of legends. The og anime was the embodiment of blues. With Ed to lighten up the moment. Here, everybody is ED! reason why Ed is more fitting in this adaptation, because she is the only character that should act like an hyperactive child. Here, everyone is an immature brat that takes nothing seriously. Ed then has no purpose for the adaptation.
I'm just surprised they didn't make the ginger tomboy black and trans.
And I kind of feel like the reason they didn't use Faye's iconic outfit is that the chick would look awful in it.. Not exactly someone, who could do seductress you'd believe, which I guess could explain the changes to her personality.
She apparently had a part of creating the outfit for the adaptation so make of that as you will
Just those brief scenes you showed within the first minute of your vid made me feel sick. Faye is definitely the worst offender. Instead of a strong woman, we get a bratty child. Someone actually approved this. 😔
On the other hand, your transition to your sponsor is top notch. 👍
That's how strong woman are written: whiny wannabes who're only exist to one up men.
The problem I have with live action remakes is that the animation creates a large amount of the medias identity, and either they shamelessly recreate them near word for word like almost all of them or they just make it straight up worse in every aspect including directing, writing, cinematography, editing, and choreography (ahem mulan). Or maybe in cases like the jungle book it was just a weird middle ground between those two. They just don't fucking work and more people need to realize this.
Either way the lack of animation just saps all of the character and charm from the film.
The power of god and anime is not on their side this time!
Godanime has abandoned them!

I don't like anime but I liked the OG Cowboy Bebop. The live action show feels more like an anime than the original.

Gren was a perfect character for trying to get people to empathize with the idea of gender dysphoria. This was back when the series first came out, and people had a harder time expressing themselves. It was helpful and liberating for people to be able to point to the character and what was done to *him* and say, "How would you feel if someone forced gender changes onto you?" But this push for a supposed "non-binary icon" robs people of that. Never mind that anime and games are more and more presenting us with characters like Astolfo or Venti. Hell, even Crim from Reviewers, a silly show, but a legitimate character with both sexes who expresses primarily as a feminine male. But, of course, those characters don't specifically refer to themselves with western gender terminology, so they're tossed to the wayside in favor of ruining an excellent case study in gender dysphoria so pop culture can have its "icon". I'm sick of such nonsense. It really is just all about appealing to demographics and trying to take their money over here.
I agree with trying to understand others who are different than yourselves. But this is just obnoxious
I had to search the Clarence bodicker "bitches leave" clip again once you referenced it

Man this version of Faye Valentine (or Faux Valentine) is super annoying. It also doesn't help that her actress was crapping on fans who had concerns over the accuracy.
Also, watch the original anime. Begun watching it on the same Netflix, and it's great so far.
She straight up said she isn't really Faye... so she's just some obnoxious cow who thinks she's funny I guess

The Cowboy Bebop live obviously took heavy inspiration from scouts pilgrims, but without Edgar Wright it couldn't succeed it's style.
Sometimes live action feels more cartoony than the anime
Not to pile on, although it's well deserved, but given that Catarina is this rich guy's daughter, it doesn't really make sense that the cops would take her out. In the Cowboy Bebop world, the cops would absolutely have been told to take her alive at all costs. Her suicide by cop now makes zero sense.

Oddly enough, that line for why Live Action makes Spike "leave" Julia, makes me think they confused her for HnK's Yuria - even though it was clear she only did it because she didn't want Shin to kill Ken. Heck, even the Vicious design makes me think these guys just ripped off Shin's design and renamed him to Vicious because he doesn't even look as suave as the actual Vicious...or as cold.
This show legit looks like a soulless abomination.
"I don't want to hurt you Shin; but you left me no choice! ATaaahh!"

Hollywood/Netflix will never understand the appeal of anime or entertainment as a whole.
It's always Netflix. It had to be Netflix.
The fight scenes had so many cuts even the cinematographer from Liam Neeson's actions flicks are like "Whoa there buddy, don't overdo it."
Sooner than expected, thanks a lot weekend!!
Spikes kind of supposed to be that classic haunted past character that we kind of avoid until the end. The whole concept of the show is to kind of mimic classic westerns (one of the any inspirations for the show tbh, there is even some oldschool James Bond in the show) which a lot of that has to do with the fact japanese writers at the time took a lot of inspiration from western works. Many old shows have the same set up. Main character with a haunted past that drifts around with a main cast of characters they are loosely connected to but are never fully focused on. (Even fucking Doctor Who follows this format due to how widely used it was) However they all have defining character traits. Which allows you to not really have a congruent story and tell many small isolated stories with said cast of characters
Fooly Cooly live action coming soon to Netflix!
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Here's my prediction: In the end, Netflix's Spike gets close enough to kill Julia and is about to pull the trigger but her puppy dog eyes reverts him to a simp. He backs down and she double crosses him, shooting him and taunts him as he bleeds out.
Then, out of nowhere, Faye shoots her between the eyes, grins, and says, "Paybacks a bitch! You know, cause I'm a girl. Ha, I'm so clever."
- *Fade to black.* -
John Cho is clearly not a fan, or have seen the anime, since he doesn't know about Spike's artificial eye.
I actually saw that lmaooo. He was a good actor, though. The acting in the remake is mostly great. It's not the actors fault, it's the writers.
@@eliwright1056 He was just as terrible as the female lead
So I watched Cowboy Bebop *very* recently (I think it was October of this year) because my friends wanted to get me more into anime and I felt that would be interesting. Bebop was incredible. The fights, the music, the characters. It grabbed me immediately. I won't say I loved every second of it, but I don't think there was an episode that I didn't at least find something to enjoy. I had already heard about Netflix making a Cowboy Bebop adaptation so I gave the trailers a crack and didn't immediately hate it. I was under no impressions that it would be good, but at least it didn't look completely god awful. Apparently that's not true. Thanks for letting me know, weekend. I made a pact with my friends that we would watch the live action Bebop to see how bad it is, so wish me luck so I don't die of cringe.
How are you geeling now?
RIP
@@Ivan-co7iz
Well, I didn't die, but it was pretty bad lol. We pirated it so we wouldn't have to pay netflix for the experience and we watched the whole series
General consensus was "the show on its own is aggressively mediocre, but as an adaptation it fails on all counts (with the possible exception of jet)"
The fight scenes were comically bad, Faye is written like a teenage girl trying waaay too hard to be "badass" and just comes off as obnoxious and immature. Like weekend points out, the show refuses to take anything seriously, which subsequently destroys the tension of any situation.
They bastardized way more characters than even I expected. Some characters I completely failed to recognize. (Granted, I even as recently as I watched the original, I had trouble remembering everything, which definitely didn't help)
We didn't like the subplot with Jet's daughter at all. I personally felt it unnecessary. Jet and Spike don't need any more motivation to grab bounties than simple survival, and the added wrinkle of Jet's daughter really doesn't add much. There is one episode where Spike turns Jet's need to get things for his daughter against him to keep him from leaving a planet that Spike needs to be at but other than that (and of course getting captured in the last ep) Jet's daughter basically adds nothing.
Netflix Bebop completely fucks the Syndicate lore from the original anime, as well as rushing Vicious's coup, *and* completely castrating Vicious as a character. Half the time, Vicious does Joker-like "I make crazy faces and do dumb shit I'm so insane and unpredictable" that with the right actor could have been good but with the Vicious they have just makes the man look stupid (we audibly laughed at Vicious's face more than once, which is more than we could say for the jokes)
The other half of the time, he's a pathetic loser, with not a shred of intimidating aura on him, with a need to be respected that he never gets. Not once were we even remotely interested in him. We actively made fun of Vicious throughout, nicknaming him "Viscous" and often just lamenting how pathetic and ineffective he was.
Overall, the show wasn't as awful as I was expecting. The dynamic between Spike and Jet worked well enough, and I am a sucker for the whole "different people get together and form a non-blood family" thing. The sets looked amazing, for sure. But the Netflix show, like any Netflix adaptation, is all style with no substance. 4/10, just watch the original show lol
The servants of Morgoth can't create. They can only corrupt and turn what was once good into twisted mockeries.
Nord's been killing it by allowing meme ads. I think they gave in long ago when people like Internet Historian pump out quality meme ads to seel their brand through humor.
"Thanks a lot Netfux"
-E;R
I’m glad I didn’t torture myself with that adaptation. Shit is insanely out of touch. Thank you Weekend sama
Thanks for watching too my guy o7
You're right, The Raid is wonderfully shot to keep the action in frame.
fake valentine is like any other "strong female character" now a days, snarky, unlikable, poorly written, cringe and shoved down our throats.
"fake" valentine is so apt
This Doom Patrol Review seems a bit weird Weekend
Wait wtf? Why would they change the plot of episodes while keeping the haracters and premise only how hard it is to just make live version not 'adaptation'
Yay, love your content 🍿🍿🍿
What most people call "nitpicks" a talented writer would call love for details.
Sure, small details don't make or break the product, but just look at any visual medium - whether it be movies, video games, comic books, cartoons, manga or anime - and you will see that the ones that stood the test of time are usually the ones with a lot of love for small details.
I didn't even know that this show came out, good to know that I don't have to bother with it.
Instead of doing a side story, they did a fanfic. There will be no season 2. Not with this crap.
When I looked for it on Netflix, I couldn't even find it. So they already know that this is trash.
They should've released this on CW. It might be more worse than Batwoman.
Cowboy Bebop? more like Poopboy Poopop
😸
can somebody tell me the name of the show at 13:30? id like to know for "research" purposes
Im searching too
Same
Another problem with Faye is in the anime she's a gunslinging femme fatale. In the movie she's a foul mouthed lesbian martial artist because reasons. She's a female Spike who swears a lot. but hey, they got to check those boxes. Lesbian ✔️, Hispanic ✔️, strong female character ✔️ woke ✔️
What are we, some kind of, Cowboy Bebop?
Faye just seems like discount Tara from Nostalgic Critic
"Watch Arcane instead"
*Damn Right*
I don’t even watch anime or even care about this stuff, yet I feel so sorry for the fans of the source material, this looks so terribly bad
Why are people surprised that Netflix butchered yet another show adaptation? It’s Netflix, they either hit or miss
It's funny, All these years I've grumbled and complained that 2D is the peek of any format only to reach the timeline where everything animated is getting live action remakes only to prove my point. Could this show have been better if not for the ULTIMATE cringe? Sure, but the anime is already that.
As a species Humanity has represented itself at the dawn of mankind with 2D cave paintings detailing epics and waifus just as we still do today, it is within our DNA to maximize our representation via drawings and no matter how much the normie menace craves to see their vanity played out on screen with live action and realistic 3D they will always feel the emptiness within that they can't explain, THAT WHICH EATS AWAY AT YOU FROM INSIDE IS YOUR SOUL SCREAMING FOR WHAT CAN ONLY BE GIVEN BY DRAWINGS!
So remake away I say, sink all their money into nonsense, let them, it only proves our point to the normies more and more, that there is no "but if only they did this" because making live action as good as animation is impossible.
I can agree and disagree. If an animation wants me to sympathize with someone on a human level it's going to have a harder time than live-action. Say a guy's tire blows on his way home from work. He's tired, he's miserable, and he's gotta change that tire. You film this scene and we watch a person struggle through a difficult situation and we can see ourselves or someone we know in the place of the character. There's nothing glamorous about it, and that's part of what helps us sympathize. The same scene either wouldn't be as affecting in animation, or would require a lot more effort (staging smaller moments to draw us into the scene, more involved camerawork, etc) to achieve the same effect. OR we could see the character's strife in an outsized way only possible in animation (the sun overhead perhaps swelling to a gigantic size as the man works, emphasizing the heat. Or the guy's fingers tying themselves into a knot only for him to blink and realize he's hallucinating, that sort of thing)
Now, on the other hand, if you wanted to make changing a tire look beautiful, or COOL AS FUCKING SHIT, animation has got you covered. That's because animation is meant to convey things that just wouldn't work in live action, and vice versa. "Anything too stupid to be said is sung," as Voltaire once opined, although I think we could more accurately replace "stupid" with "emotional." The same hold true for live action and anime. You want me to give a damn about your emotional coming of age story, either it should be live action or the protagonist should be piloting a giant mech. Otherwise, what's the point? Animation makes things beautiful, but some things need to not be beautiful if they're going to ve affecting. Anyway, this is way longer than I meant for it to be so I'm going to stop talking now
The best part of the live-action was Ein. He was cute.
Gee thanks man. I've already overdosed on that cringe and I'm not even 2 minutes in. What have they done to my boy?
Once more, Netflix proves why they suck.
Instant classic for many rewatches!
That review, not the live action CB adaptation, that I will never see in full.
Weekend! Save us from our sins!
Funny that the "modernize" remake that gets rid of the "offensive" content also saw fit to whitewash Catarina.
Of course they did you can't have a couple who are the same race in media now for some reason. Hollywood has an odd obsession with it.
they also whitewashed Faye
The fact that you have mentioned this and not Spike and Jet being race-swapped is high comedy.
@@FuckUA-camAndGoogle Mostly because they are main characters, just though it was funny that they "whitewashed" a one off character.
@@masterprick1 Except the entire point of the term "whitewashing" is to lambast White people being cast as non-White characters, which means the term becomes pointless when bigger roles have non-Whites cast as White characters. In other words, "whitewashing" is a term used by people who are Anti-White, to accuse a show of having a bias for White people. So accusing this show, which is blatantly Anti-White, and is made by people who are unabashedly Anti-White, of having a bias for White people is stupid, when they are clearly biased *against* White people.
Best part of the show was Jet. Spike was decent. For live-action sci-fi television, it wasn't the worst. But yeah, Cowboy Bebop never needed a remake, and this remake seriously pales in comparison to the original. Stop remaking things that don't need remakes.
Wish John Cho and Mustafa the best. See you Space Cowboy.
