MODERATORS
I still have to see that movie, I've just always avoided it because it's bad in a it's bad sort of way.
I've watched this video of Goku's car slide enough times to make up Dragon Ball Evolution's full runtime.
Edit: I can't wait for Ultra Instinct Fuller to show up in the anime
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
We should watch it on hextube for slop night one of these days
Sasuke needs to call naruto a cracker
That's hilarious
It sure adds a funny-ass dimension to the whole Uchiha clan massacre, turns out they were killed because of their eyes, but it had nothing to do with the Sharingan lmao
At least it's not ruining a good anime, phew.
Take that back 
Will they do the Naruto run?
Chuunin exams is just gonna be Rock Lee throwing a punch - cut to Gaara's face. Cut back to Rock Lee. Cut back to Gaara's face. Cut to slow motion CGI fist hitting Gaara's face. Cut back to the upper level where Naruto et al are watching. Cut to the two Hokages. Cut to Orochimaru's (shh) smirk. Cut to Temari and whats his face smirking. Cut back to Rock Lee's actor. Frame his 
face. Cut back to Gaara. He has the shittiest cgi particles of sand around him. Cut back to Rock Lee. Cut back to Gaara. Camera now is looking down at them from above, making it easier to hide the fact that the sand looks like shit. Naruto and Kakashi spend the entire episode narrating the shittier version of the fight. Rock Lee only enters the first gate because they didn't have the budget for a bunch of wire-fighting.
Luckily the anime adaptation already sucks so there's nowhere to go but up.
I find this trend extremely weird. Why this insistence on live action? Is there really a wider audience for these than if they had just made something animated and threw money at the marketing?
All they have to do is say Kishimoto is behind it and the fans will convince themselves it’s good. Worked like a charm with the Mario Movie and Netflix One Piece
i think this might cause an actual revolt
I swear they've done all of these already
Will it top the stage play?
Also, looking forward to the discourse on Sexy no jutsu. Or jiraiya's cancellation.

Everything is a remake, reboot, sequel, adaptation or live action version
are they trying to lose money
It was inevitable that they were going to make this. Reboots/remakes/sequels/adaptations are the standard now, treats are too costly to make for the suits to take risks too often.
clearly they're mocking the fans, I mean the guy's name is literally cretin
All these studios think that they’re going to be the one that makes a beloved anime into a live action version and pull it off. I guess maybe one day, one will do it, but I’m betting there will be a hell of a lot cgi.
They're not trying to be good, they're trying to make money. An established fandom has a % that will absolutely watch it even if this trash. A further, potentially larger % will hate watch/ironically watch it specifically because it's trash.
Talk-no-jutsu, no-one expecting James Cameron levels of CGI, script only has to be adapted and not written from scratch, free advertising from fans bitching about it to generate internet clout, etc, for relatively lower production cost.
Someone's worked out this genre of remakes consistently make profit.
I never thought about it that way. Good point. Enshitification?
If M. Night Shyamalamadingdong's Last Airbender is of any indication ($150 mil budget, $320 mil box office, 5% on Rotten Tomatoes), the trend is here to stay.
Despite how terrible the first live action Full Metal Alchemist was, they still made 2 more. Considering they could have simply axed the second, let alone make a third, the first one generated enough revenue to be a profit.
Expect a D tier Bleach adaptation in 2028.
I guess it's a natural synthesis between cheap shitty films that still pull numbers (Scary Movie, Sharknado, etc) that don't already have a passionate fanbase + a passionate demographic with a load of disposable income (i.e. otaku, or ATLA fans)
Do these do well in ratings or something? Because I've never heard of a good live-action adaptation/remake of something animated, ATLA being the latest example
Gets people talking about it for sure, even if it's to shit on it
Looking forward to the cheesy ass Naruto runs that absolutely work in live action
Y'know what I always think when I watch animated media? "Damn I wish this was bland, lifeless, drained of color and motion and without a sense of place or imaginary near impossible architecture"
we are doomed
really great for the culture that a movie does not actually have to turn a profit at any point. it's resulting in some fantastic projects getting greenlit.
are they doing the one where 
should be shot or the one where just need a shower and therapy?
What if I told you.. you don't have to watch a live-action remake of anything.
No shit gb2 reddit
