Better in another medium

[(Anonymous)]

What do you think are some things that would be better in/better suited for a different medium? Like a live action movie that would work better as an animated movie, a comic that would be better as a novel etc.

Re: Better in another medium

[(Anonymous)]

As much as I like the movie, I think a video game could have been a better adaption of the comic version.

Cloud Atlas: Re: Better in another medium

[cbrachyrhynchos]

I think Cloud Atlas would have been better as an animated feature. On top of the political questions regarding the race-bending, the makeup effects were horrible at it, and I think the weird multiple-life continuity of characters was really hard to figure out across the different stories.

World War Z should have been a TV show.

Re: Better in another medium

[vethica]

Animorphs would work so well as an animated series. I'm still holding out hope for one someday. ;A;

I'm not sure if anyone else has ever even played this game, but...

Rule of Rose would have deeply benefitted from being a visual novel-- or, properly done, a short tv series. Even though the atmosphere was amazing, and some parts of the gameplay were kind of fun, the backtracking and godawful battle system nearly ruined the whole thing-- and even the fun parts of it kind of broke up the pacing. Which is a desperate shame, because the story is beautifully disturbing.

I would have preferred to have seen at least the first Newt Scamander movie as a book. JK Rowling is good at narrative and character building, which were missing almost entirely. I think everything would have made more sense in novel form.

Re: Better in another medium

[(Anonymous)]

Not quite another medium, but Shakespeare adaptations where Shakespearen English is still used don't work for me. I wish they'd just remake them with modern dialogue.

Re: Better in another medium

[greghousesgf]

there needs to be Lovecraft animation

Re: Better in another medium

[(Anonymous)]

BlazBlue should have straight up been an a anime series and not a video game with how deep the lore goes. Yes, it's ridiculous, but the lore interests me far more than the beating up does.

Re: Better in another medium

[(Anonymous)]

That King Arthur movie with Charlie Hunam would have been a kickass limited series, like 10 episodes on Netflix, where it could delve into its myths and jaunty characters instead of quick-edit-montaging through all the cool monster fighting.

Rants, Secrets, Etc.

[(Anonymous)]

General gripes and secrets you can't be bothered making a post for.

Re: Rants, Secrets, Etc.

[(Anonymous)]

I haven't watched The Shape of Water, but I've seen lots of pictures, and I'm not super into the fishman. I can't criticise anyone who is, though, because when I was younger I was really into Ed'Rashekaresket in Deep Wizardry. Who was, y'know, an actual shark. Not even a little bit human-shaped.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Fandom Questions

[(Anonymous)]

Because I have a question, and others can ask questions too.

Do you refer to an individual fan fiction as a 'piece' of fanfic or something else? Asking because I'm writing an article about fandom spaces, and I've always referred to 'pieces of fanfic' and my editor asked if this was correct and... I don't know any more!

Words and phrases that annoy the hell out of you?

[(Anonymous)]

Got any?

If you were going to eat a person

[(Anonymous)]

- and assume you are allowed to do this to one person without going to jail - would you pick someone you thought would taste good, or someone you hate, just to kill them?

Like I could see picking Trump to get rid of him. But I wouldn't want to eat Trump. He's overweight and eats poorly and probably dried out from all that tanning.

Media references that will live for a long time

[(Anonymous)]

Inspired by secret 5.

I've never seen an episode of Friends, but I still occasionally know when someone's making a reference to it.

I've never heard a How I Met Your Mother reference, that I know of, and I didn't recognize it from the picture.

Most people basically "know" what Frankenstein (well, Frankenstein's monster) and Dracula are, but I don't know how many people have read those books.

I see a lot of Harry Potter references, and a lot of people who haven't read the books still seem to know some of the basic stuff, like Voldemort is the bad guy, and what the houses represent. I have seen a some backlash toward gratuitous Harry Potter references, though. I wonder how long that will last, like will people still talking about Voldemort long after people have stopped reading the books?

For that matter, what currently-popular media do you think people will still care about 10 or 20 or 50 years into the future, and what do you expect will be forgotten (or only occasionally read/watched so someone can make a funny recap talking about how cheesy it is)?

How's your day going?

[philstar22]

What's everyone doing?

I spent 5 hours at work. Around that, I've been obsessing over Flight Rising again, and in particular about making a collection of MCU dragons. Right now, of the ones I want, I'm missing Steve, Bucky, Drax, Bruce, and Thanos.

And, because I'm weird, I'm planning on having red white and blue Steve and then get a red white and blue Superman to pair with him. The idea makes me smile.

Question Thread - for all your curiosity needs....

[tabaqui]

I'll start!
I took a vid on my phone of the mice at the pet store being incredibly silly, and while I turned it the 'long' way (to get max screen width), and it's 'right way up' on my phone, when I moved it to my laptop, it's sideways.

How in *hell* do i turn the vid so it's right side up? I default view with WMV, and there's no option to turn the vid. Anything out there I could dl that would do it?

Why is it so hard to pick something to watch?

[(Anonymous)]

Sometimes I will spend 20 minutes trying to find a movie to watch then just end up rewatching some youtube videos.

Favorite fashion blogs

[(Anonymous)]

Post 'em! Looking for visual heavy ones, preferably on tumblr, but anything you like is fine to share.

Russia is freely buy uranium from Iran.

[(Anonymous)]

LOL trump, that decision.

Do Androids Dream of Electoral Sheep?

[(Anonymous)]

The bots in the comments are really going at it. It’s not as hot as Transformers fic made it out to be.
