Watching the live action One piece... and she's actually enjoying it

She also didn't believe me when I said it was based on anime/manga

The standards are already very low, it's not a high bar to jump.

I don't get this opinion.

Luffy was just hella annoying in early One Piece. His ADHD ass annoyed the hell outa me. He only got slightly better after the time skip.
To me LA Luffy is just as annoying as Early anime Luffy.

yeah its okay for a live action anime. But that doesnt mean its anything great. Like, it feels so....campy. Also Luffy looks OLD, bro. Anyone remember the Sinbad TV series on the Syfy channel? Thats what it should've looked like. At least it would be bright and coloful instead of so damn dark and weird. And why did Buggy look like Joker?

@CupcakeNinja I think that's some of the things that comes with live action, and arguably, natural shading and reasonable lighting can be seen as one of the draws of doing it as live action. I personally think that the lighting is perfectly fine. As to why Buggy looks like the Joker, they are both clowns, with incredibly overdone and exaggerated makeup. It's to be expected.
To me, the camp on the side of being meh or disliking the One Piece LA complain too much.

Instead of trying to find something that makes them happy, they nitpick and look at it with the older, jaded eyes they now have, rather than the eager-for-wonder child's eyes that first saw the anime or read the manga.

Really wished FMA live action got the One Piece treatment but that'll be very unlikely

random INFO :

The movie EDGE OF TOMORROW

THE ORIGINAL MATERIAL IS A JAPANESE NOVEL
(AND HAVING a short manga oneshot-like with a few chapters, DRAWN BY ARTIST OF DEATH NOTE)

---------------------------------------------------

Edge of tomorrow is great. AND a successful blockbuster too
but it lost a big charm of works that usually do "stuck in loop" plot
And skipped the pain of the usual "stuck protagonist" looping nonstop+dying
by substituting "comedy" of abusing time loops, which isnt a bad choice as it allow parents to allow their kids to watch it = $$$
ALSO : (even having a reasonable plot-armor-reasoning for WHY "Tom cruise" never had SLOW deaths in utter agonizing pain)

NAME OF MANGA : All you need is kill

bruh clickbait title. I thought something entirely different smh

no i just seen other shit do the same shit better so there's little excuse for it being as meh as it is especially given the budget. I aint saying its bad though, it has its merits. Showing Garp so early was a dumbfuck move tho

They do the adaptation poorly even if their tom cruise in it, they ruined the manga. The armor in the movie look like a cheap dyi. While they can have him wear a large armor with a fucking bix axe. The aliens was good if I remember right. It's too bad they didn't show how much the MC suffer in each time loop to the point of sucide in some and even losing all hope.
The manga is Top Tier but not well know sadly.

Now that i remember, i indeed felt they desecrated the original material
No clue why i said it's "great". Probably because my memories were foggy and usual "memories embelishment".
especially the armor (DIY just like you said / me agreeing)

Like "wtf! it should be a mecha suit !!!!! now its just a shitty useless exoskeleton !"

And yes, probably biggest positive thing, is the alien looks.

ps : "great" if no comparison, "bad" is someone knew
ps ps other topic : didn't watch it but disliked they used tom cruise for mummy movie, it just create immersion as can't see protag but "cruise"

Same reason why Judge Dredd played by Stalone isn't wearing a mask. Why hire Tom Cruise if you gonna cover him with a mecha suit?
