I have not seen the live action version. Was it good? Was it necessary?
Do you even have to ask?
I mean, there’s a >0 number of good live-action adaptations of animated shows. I’ve heard mainly good things about the Netflix One Piece show.
If it’s so good, then why is there only One Piece of it? Why not a Second or Third Piece?
It just struck me that the ‘live action’ version of most movies are still like 90% CGI… Really the only thing not computer generated are the actors and even then, only mostly. What’s even the difference at that point?
It also missed a few vital scenes. They cut down the movie to fit within an arbitrary time limit.
I’m flabbergasted that they found a way to do a shot-for-shot remake wrong.
It was good. It was almost a beat for beat, scene for scene remake. The only scene I specifically noticed being omitted was the one on the beach with the small dragons.
It was almost like DreamWorks was telling Disney, “Hey, this is how you do it. Keep the story the same, and it works, dumb mouse.”
And here I was looking for the source in the comments.
First two are “How to train your Dragon”, the third is “Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid”
Top: How to Train Your Dragon
Bottom: Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid
Is the Animé a flavour of “thicc girl encourages perversions of socially awkward horny boy”? Because that’s so blasé; it’s overused.
Surprisingly no. Those 2 depicted are just side characters and actually have a somewhat healthy relationship. And the main cast is generally not that sexualized.
To be clear, the issue you point out does exist, just not with these 2 specific characters.
In the original toothless is a common green dragon with one tooth. Bro’s a sassy bastard and the whole point is that Hiccup has to be the hero with a severely lacking toolset.
Well technically not quite but that’s Spoilers
There is a book?! Nice, imma go find it
Several!
