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.

... and by this I meant Snowpiercer. How the hell did that get lost in there?

Re: Better in another medium

[cbrachyrhynchos]

Good example.

Re: Better in another medium

If it was a game I think I'd get super frustrated and bored if I couldn't advance quickly enough for my liking because the physical space of the train is so limited and there's nowhere to explore.

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.

that make up was god awful

World War Z should have been a TV show.

[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.

Re: Better in another medium

[rosehiptea]

I played half of it. I totally agree with your opinion.

Re: Better in another medium

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

[cbrachyrhynchos]

Agreed, or a comic.

Re: Better in another medium

[(Anonymous)]

I thought the characterization and narrative were solid for a 2-hour film, but I would have loved a whole book.

Re: Better in another medium

[(Anonymous)]

Me too. I definitely wouldn't love the HP movie characters as much if I hadn't read the books first, and I still like the movies a lot.

I didn't dislike Fantastic Beasts, but I really miss having characters I'm invested in and feel like I know. I'm not even sure that I like Tina. I suspect if I'd read about how Newt sees her (and how J.K. Rowling sees her) I probably could, but I didn't connect with her as a character. I also have questions about bigger plot points and I'm impatient and I want to read ahead.

Re: Better in another medium

[(Anonymous)]

AYRT: Exactly. I felt that we were supposed to like Tina, and text would have helped with that. Maybe the next movie will deliver; I hope so.

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.

SA - Let me clarify before I get dogpiled by Shakespeare buffs

[(Anonymous)]

I meant to say I wish contemporary adaptations would use contemporary English.

Re: Better in another medium

[greghousesgf]

there needs to be Lovecraft animation

Re: Better in another medium

[unspeakablyevil]

There are at least some cartoon characters based off of Lovecraftian creatures. Black Hat from Villainous is basically Nyarlathotep and so is Aku here (though he has a bit of Azathoth and Japanese Oni mixed in.)

Re: Better in another medium

[greghousesgf]

I should have been a bit more specific. I don't like anime.

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.
