Movie adaptions are stupid

While a lot of times it’s true that adaptations aren’t as good as the original, it’s not always the case. Some adaptations are superior to the book like Forrest Gump.
Never read the book but I heard movie was much better

Even Shawshank Redemption too. I’m pretty big on Stephen King but I’d say the movie was better

also even if the movie adaptation isn’t as good as the original source, it doesn’t make them bad. It’s just not as good but still good

Well, it's just because things like surtur might look cool in a animation or in a comic but having a fire demon walking around just cannot be done by human actors without it being inaccurate to the source material
Anime are almost always better then manga as they can do the same things as the books but without the limitation of panels or lack of color, The opposite is had with flim, you lose creative freedom as you are limited by human actors and how can move or function in a setting.


you cant have a kick like this in a film and it suffers for it as you lack, The amount of creative liberty that can be obtained in a animated
scene imagine having to constantly add shadow effects to the actors and having it look good, Such as how anime like cowboy bebop has done

You didn’t specify if you’re talking about book adaptation or anime/comic exclusively. Most top grossing movies nowadays are not original screenplays

However if we’re only talking about live actions then yeah I do agree that most sucks. But I do think it’s possible for good ones to come out.

More than a decade ago ppl also thought hero comic adaptation movies were bad (Ie. fantastic four) but look at MCU now, one of the most successful movie franchise.
I think the point is you can’t expect it to look exactly like in the anime. No one is gonna be able to perform a kick like the pic u posted cuz well, actors aren’t 2d character. But that doesn’t mean they can’t do a good kick. Also with things like demons, with CGI nowadays anything is possible haha. Dinosaurs, dragons, even sutur (check out thor 3)

on the other hand, I do agree that directors should stick to the source material instead of writing their own plots. That’s one of my biggest issues with a lot of adaptations.

IMO it is possible to make a good anime live action adaptation mcu style. Only question is if there’s the budget and good directors to make it happen

Original ideas dont sell as well as they dont have that already existing audience/fanbase
that much is just obvious

Successful does not equal good, The quality of the older marvel animated movies are far better then the mcu

There's no clear contrast between the animated elements and the real life elements such as the case with the mcu flims.

the point was never about the kick itself, it was about the shadow effect but if you wanna argue about spike's foot then yea it's better as it has more of exaggeration and as such more creative liberty to express itself depending upon what the scene calls for.
Comedy scene could have more loose moments and brighter colors while serious scene could have more hard motions and darker colors

That's just an admission animation is better, CGI itself just stands for computer generated animation
It's just a more garbage form of animation as it ages like a banana instead of like a fine wine yknow like cowboy bebop, Look at how poorly cgi as a animation style ages

That is not true at all lmaooo
Just look at IMDB’s too 250 movies list
There are both original screenplays and book adaptations

You’re telling me that Forrest Gump only made in the top 10 because people have read the book before and there’s a huge fan base? Same with Shawshank, Fight Club, Call me by your name etc?

Meanwhile original screenplays like Inception, Pulp Fiction, The Matrix has all done equally as well

What do you mean by contrast?
Also sure successful isn’t the only criteria for a good movie but it is one. People aren’t going to the movie theatre to watch a bad movie. Many are also critically acclaimed and the reviews are good. There’s plenty more criteria to judge movies by plot, acting, cgi, directing etc and MCU movies excel in most of them


the point was never about the kick itself, it was about the shadow effect but if you wanna argue about spike's foot then yea it's better as it has more of exaggeration and as such more creative liberty to express itself depending upon what the scene calls for.
Comedy scene could have more loose moments and brighter colors while serious scene could have more hard motions and darker colors
You know movies also employ these effects

This is one of the most common movie elements. All movies change the lighting of their scenes to reflect the mood lol

I know what CGI stands for 😂
CGI is a tool that is used in movies, but that doesn’t mean it’s anime LMAO
CGI is a tool, because CGI alone isn’t enough to make a movie

also do you realize how hard it is to CGI something and make it realistic vs animating anime? The problem with the picture you posted is mainly about how CGI technology was still new back then and there simply wasn’t the technology to make it good. Nowadays that’s a lot less of an issue

Anyways I think what it really comes down to is you don’t like movies by virtue of it not being an anime. This by no means prove that anime is a superior medium, it just means you like one of them more.

You should try watching more movies and pay attention to how they use different elements like sound or lighting. And not just manga/comic adaptations, there’s many good ones that are adaptated from books and novels.

Anime and movies are both good, they just have different strength!

live action adaptations mostly sucks cause of the reasons below

low budget
not grasping what the audience expects
not understanding the source
trying to copy paste the source rather then doing what'd work best
making everything revolve around high school
aiming only otaku rather then a general audience while not understanding what otakus wants hence failing to satisfy either side

Yes imdb, The most credible site ever

I guess this is a 7 out of 10, To you??


Anyways no argument.

Exceptions rather then the rule for every fight club or matrix, there's 90 different one off films that you wouldt remember eg toy soldiers or g-force
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0122718/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0436339/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0


There's a reason why there's 90 something alien movies,comics and games. it's because the brand is profitable and that couldt work as it does if original ideas are just profitable as new ones
90 percent of what's currently showing in cinemas now are just extensions of already existing ips which would only work if my original premise was right








What do you mean by contrast?
Contrast how one thing looks with relation to another, This case being how the cgi interact with the actors
The animated element very clearly is not the same as the real life one



you know wat i meant, I said it very clearly however you ignored it for whatever reason







Ultimately the reason why people like say Spiderman no way home more then say spiderverse is not cause it's better wrote or animated, it's because feel insecure about watching animated products thinking they are for kids or whatever which is stupid cause the movies they watch are mostly animated anyhow but the unenlightened masses care not about what people say online afterall it's why anime still sells better then manga despite the fringe weirdos online crying about anime is filler garbage trash and nobody should like it




This is one of the most common movie elements. All movies change the lighting of their scenes to reflect the mood lol
Cant name one example which can employ lightning or shading to the effect seen in most anime. Again there's still the comment about the looseness in the design versus it being very defined in serious scenes
But again as said by me, People will like what they like and make up excuses no matter how stupid they sound ie you this entire time, literally cited imbd as a valid source for flim critique



CGI is a tool that is used in movies, but that doesn’t mean it’s anime LMAO
Putting in words in my mouth, I never said it was a anime
I said it was animated, CGI is a form of animation regardless of you feel about it not my problem






You like movies which are 90 percent done in animation, That is the reality of the matter






CGI is a tool, because CGI alone isn’t enough to make a movie

Untrue, this is you just denying the fact that cgi is a form of animation
both toy story and Incredibles were entirely done in cgi



They literally show up as examples of this form of animation when you google it so no cgi is not only used in tandem with real actors so your making up nonsense to justify your preferences. I dont have to pretend my superhero movies are not animated unlike you who has to deny that reality all so you seem mature



Let me know when any character even lets a drop of bleed spill in your mature animations versus my kid ones?? Im curious






also do you realize how hard it is to CGI something and make it realistic vs animating anime?

Does not even look close to realistic, your underestimating how hard it is to animate good scenes
It's easier with cgi as you are working with pre existing 3d models where that's not the case with animation where everything from the ground to buildings are required to be done by hand




The problem with the picture you posted is mainly about how CGI technology was still new back then and there simply wasn’t the technology to make it good
It barely looks good now, It's still very bad looking in real life settings as it stands out like a sore thumb

Deadpool 2 even made a joke of this with the line big cgi fight


Anime and movies are both good, they just have different strength!
Was not talking about anime as a exact medium but rather animation as a whole, It's still better then film as you have more degree on expression
You can only do so much with real humans not to mention bad acting is just an issue that animations dont have to deal with ultimately you just have no counter to any of my points so your just making stuff up and grasping at straws all the whilie being ignorant of self evident facts that are literally joked about within these flims themselves

Many have high budget such as with mcu and dceu films. I think the failing is just that they a dont care about the source material and are just there for making money with no passion


it's why cosplays often look better then the official live action version




Made a more detailed thread on another site while back, I just liked the kick-ass comic's commentary on LA versions so decided to post it on here

If you fail to even try to understand why movies has been one of the most popular story telling medium for so long then all I can say is you're judging it by your own narrow minded view

which really sums down to: "it's not anime! the actors can't break the laws of physics and we can't make monsters look realistic enough to my standards!"

and that's fine, you don't like movies. No point of discussing further, keep watching your cartoons then

It's because, people see films as more mature
nothing more nothing less.

You admitted as much yourself



Your movies are just as animated as the cartoons which you mock, So you can be as condescending as you want but at least im honest about liking animated works unlike you who has to pretend that shit like this is not animated



it's just a tool, Keep coping and maybe one day. your lies will be true

You can create/draw a Character that perfectly fits with what you want him to be, you cant create that human lol
if the character is a human person, it's easily translatable
that same does not apply when were talking about death gods like ryuk now does it?
