Maxx Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 7 hours ago, Hecatom said: Voltron is a show that started decent but ended becoming less good with each season. She ra, lol no, the show was bad, it had its moments, but over all it was no bueno. He-Man?, lmao. Castlevania is good, i give you that. Dragons Dogma was pointless, it felt more like side quests than following the actual main story. Lucifer i cant comment, i have not watched it, neither know how well was received by the fans. The marvel shows are another thing since they didnt have total freedom on their adaptations. Have not watched Lupin yet, so no comment there (from the look i dont think is an adaptation of Lupin III, so i dont even know from what is an adaptation) Troll Hunters i have heard good things, but was under the impression that it was an original project from Del Toro, so if is the case, it doesn't really count imo. And The Witcher. You know, i like the series, but is kind of a mixed bag if you have read the books it adapted. There are a lot of plotholes induced by changes, and a lot of characterizations changed for the worse. Saying that, one adaptation i watched that is actually better than the source material is Shadow and Bones, there are still issues, but it fixed other stuff that in the books were bad.

Wellman Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I really have to watch the Lupin show on Netflix, but Lupin the 3rd is basically the manga/anime version of the trope of future kid or descendent of famous person/literature character who does the same thing. The original manga he was a bit more of a asshole a la early Bond and those sort hard boiled protagonist molds just in comedic stories but mellowed over time due to the anime adaptations. But all anyone needs to know about the original source is that Lupin the world over is known as the high profile Gentleman thief many other such characters are based on.

Sonichuman Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I'm in the camp that still enjoyed Masters of the Universe even though I didn't like Teela's character and how she acted. If I let one subjective/objective flaw ruin everything else in a medium then I feel like I could be missing out on something that overall could still be great. By the same token ,I didn't like the way how Korra acted at all in the first season of LoK and she was really pissing me off with the way she was acting (still wished Tenzin would have sent her ass home) but if I had let that sour me on the entire series then I would have missed out on something great as a whole. I get being upset at Teela and I'm not saying don't have ire for her because personally I think it's well deserved but personally I do feel it is pretty hyperbolic to toss out the entire show and anything potentially afterwards just off it. That's my 2 cents though. DangerousJ, Darc_Requiem, RSG3 and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment

That's my 2 cents though. Fair enough. We all have different buttons. It's why I brought up Anders. On the, basically dead, Bioware centric I posted on. He was a huge point of contention. It's interesting that you brought up Korra. In season 2, she was my least favorite character. I literally watched the show because of the rest of the cast. So it's very good parallel. Although Teela annoys me far more than Korra did and the supporting cast of LoK was much stronger for me than Revelation. Hawkingbird and Sonichuman 2 Quote Link to comment

Like Darc said earlier we all have different buttons. I'm just looking at things in the grand scheme and for me the only real con the show had was just Teela's attitude. I wasn't one of the ones that was super pissed about Kevin Smith lying or whatever cause honestly on the whole I think the story worked out and was still interesting and even more so with the ending. I'm quite curious to see how much shit is going to hit the fan before everything gets resolved and how. RSG3 1 Quote Link to comment

TheInfernoman Posted August 20, 2021 Author Share Posted August 20, 2021 goodness this thread got active today. Anime to me is the default name of a subtheme of animation from Japan and (now that more animated movies/shows are being made in Kora/China) the eastern Asia region. You can argue that it's actually Manga style animation(or even manga style cartoons) as the majority of anime comes from a manga series...if you REALLY want to be that nitpicky about it. 1 hour ago, RSG3 said: They're all cartoons to me lol.

I corrected you... And you're still telling me I'm wrong.... K Yeah, and i addressed your point on my 1st reply already. Then you ignored it and went into a tangent that people think about Japan being this pristine etc.which was not what we are talking about, so yeah, is clear you have your mind already set up that anime can be whatever that decides to call itself anime, so no point in contniuing arguing in circles, since you wouldn't convince me, and vice versa.
