Netflix will do a Cowboy Beebop live action series. Twitter is losing its shit, as if they're forced to watch it, or as if it replaced the original anime.

I think it's a challenge to adapt an extremely popular anime into a live action series, and I don't see what it would add to the franchise, but I can still watch the original if I want to. I don't get this "you're ruining it" mental breakdown mindset among fans of, uhm, most anything.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Because they'll be remaking Casablanca with CGI Nazis next.  :mad:

I have found Netflix's live action anime adaptations pretty pointless, tbf.

Was Barb Wire not a  good enough Casablanca remake for you?

I hope they'll soon get bored with selling kids cartoons to adults.

Venom was indeed rather terrible. Somehow it has made piles of money.

Blame China apparently.

FWIW, Venom has a 7/10 rating on imdb. Catwoman, 3.3.

And Superman v Batman has a rating above 4 as well, IMDb doesn't really matter anymore.

Venom has a metascore of 35 and Catwoman has 27.

And I know why I don't like imdb's ranking: people have a horrible taste in movies.

29% from critics vs 86% from moviegoers. :bleeding:

I find movie scores to be well over-rated.
a 6/10 movie is barely watchable.

I suspect they don't really track fake accounts that boost scores for some studios.
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

Daredevil cancelled.
I struggle to be upset about the Netflix marvel shows ending. Though they were once great I have not managed to make myself watch the new series.
