The sad thing is there has yet to be a live action version of an animated thing that people consider as good as or better than the animated version. These live action series just exist to nostalgia bait people into remembering the animated thing. As if people can’t just go and rewatch the animated things, but no…instead we have to fill all these goddamn streaming services with new contentTM even if it’s all shit.
It actually amazes me that people found the live action One Piece even remotely passable. It was so goofy, stupid, awkward, cringe, every second of it was the biggest piece of dogshit I’ve ever seen. The OG anime, while old, is still nearly perfect in many ways and there’s nothing about the live action that I found enjoyable. Just an example though. All these new live action remakes are the death of art.
