Guys, I'm dreading.
We got Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, Cowboy Bebop and One Piece having a live-adaption and all of them already had red flags waved over like tidal waves in stadium.
Resident Evil with their casting choice (Chris aside, what did they do to my boy Leon SEXY Kennedy? He ain't a Latino - no offense to any Latinos of course - he's an American goddamnit), Cowboy Bebop also with their casting choice AND changed character designs (whilst also having the original author's opinions and feedbacks ignored) and One Piece having Luffy compared to Kamala Harris. I don't know what the FUCK is going on with Netflix and their constant obsession with politics and ruining our entertainment.
Just a month or more, we got Kevin Smith ruining Masters of the Universe by changing the protagonist to some Abby-type character. I love female protagonists....if they're done RIGHT like Violet Evergarden and the recent anime Vivy Fluorite Eye's Song. But oh boy, do I hate bad written ones. This does NOT only goes to female protagonists, male protagonists included like IS: Infinite Stratos (that dense as fuck protagonist), most of the Isekai male protagonists and so much more. I really love good-written protagonists. Like, forget protagonists! I love any side-characters that are well-written!
Just a two months ago, I watched Netflix's adaption of the game Castlevania and thankfully, it's not written by some incompetent politic-obsessed fucks. I love the side-characters (except the bishop, I hate that prick) - both the good and evil. I like Isaac, Hector, Lenore (really liked Lenore), Carmilla, Saint Germain, Death and more! I especially liked Death because of how comically foul-mouthed he is and how he orchestrated shit behind the scenes like a mastermind. They're all well-written!
And now, these live-adaptions COULDN'T EVEN DO SIMPLE FUCKING STEPS to at least follow the source material regarding everything!
Ah, fucking hell...sorry, that's all.
