I’m not even gonna lie, I enjoyed Dragon Ball Evolution. I love the Dragon Ball franchise, so I probably should’ve hated that movie, but I thought it was fun.

Netflix’s Death Note was pretty bad though. Willem Dafoe as Ryuk was awesome and the guy who played L was decent, but the rest was so bad and that Ferris wheel scene had me dying of laughter, which was probably not the intended effect.

Netflix Death Note was so-bad-it's-good for me

[(Anonymous)]

I completely unironically enjoyed Dragonball Evolution as well, it was just so stupid I ended up finding it hilariously fun. Definitely one of the worst movies I've ever seen, but fuck me was it a ride.

Did they at least cast asian actors otherwise??

[(Anonymous)]

I sort of enjoyed the (very bad) Netflix FMA adaptation. It made me ship Royed all over again! The wigs though. They were bad.

And I didn't hate the Netflix Bleach adaptation. Then again I think I would like anything with Byakuya Kuchiki in it.

[(Anonymous)]

You say Netflix adaptation - did Netflix actually come out with some shitty Americanized version of these like with Death Note, or just airing the Japanese live action movies?

[(Anonymous)]

nayrt


Apparently??!?!? Like I honestly think this is like the fifth one already??

[(Anonymous)]

I enjoyed that movie. I honestly don't get why people hated it.

Because casting Johannson as that character and how they wrote it was racist.

[kallanda_lee]

Was it, though? Having seen it it felt like the discomfort of being in a very different body from yours was...sort of the point? And I though the creator was in favor of her casting?

Though I must concede I only part of the manga, and I recall it being rather different.

[philstar22]

In my opinion it was still a white person playing an Asian character, regardless. And the ending just made it worse. I'm not Japanese and can't speak for them, but from what I've seen a lot of actual Japanese people disliked it too.

[(Anonymous)]

Imo, if they do it with dire respect to the original character then it's generally fine. (after all you can cast a character out of race and have them master the role) So being white isn't so much a problem to me as a respectful representation.

[(Anonymous)]

The manga is completely totally divorced from any of the anime adaptations IIRC so IDK how useful that comparison is

It seems like a really inescapably Japanese character and series to me but IDK

[(Anonymous)]

I think a lot of people didn't like the movie because it reduced the core of what made gits great into a shallow imitation of what it is. Pretty endemic to Hollywood adaptations I suppose.
