except firefly is not cowboy bebop.

there are going to be certain expectations riding on the back of making a live action from a very popular (and with good reason) anime. think of all the movie adaptations of comics and cartoons you've seen and how many have missed the mark horribly as opposed to hitting it square on.

No, they aren't the same, but they're pretty damn similar. Swap out the soundtrack, change which side of the law the protagonists are tenuously on, and you're 60% of the way there.

I can think of a lot of comic and cartoon adaptations that in fact do quite well! I prefer to hold off judgment on any given movie or adaptation until I actually have some information to go off of. Particularly when it's an adaptation of something that would lend itself so well to live action. That way, I don't look like a judgmental asshole if it turns out to be really awesome.

I'm the same way with adaptations and giving them a chance. sadly, I've been more disappointed than pleased with the way things were handled.

Constantine, anyone?

but you're missing the point. the point is not that there is something that was kinda-sorta like it but the fact that Spike is such a complex and well-loved character, people are not confident that an actor will be able to play him as he should be played (read: as each individual fan thinks he should be played). it's going to be entirely subjective and not as easy a task to sway those fans.

Constantine was a watchable film if you ignored the fact that it was supposedly based on Hellblazer.

...I think you're missing the point there because that last paragraph had absolutely nothing to do with anything I was saying.
