PK_Spam 08/13/20 9:05:33 AM #4:	A lot of people have it in their heads that animated shows arent worth watching for whatever reason. My sister is the same way. Naturally, Netflix wants to get as wide an audience as possible. So now were gonna get ATLA, but live action. I cant wait to see them shoehorn an Aang x Katara x Zuni love triangle and add cliffhangers to the end of episodes that are resolved in 30 seconds. --- https://imgur.com/hCHZS1f <cite>PK_Spam posted [p:943327496] in The live a...

SeahorseCpt89 08/13/20 10:52:58 AM #6:	I still don't get the purpose of this. The show was already perfect the way it was, why remake it? Why not put those resources into something fans might actually want; like a sequel to TLoK, or a prequel series covering a previous Avatar? Or just have it star Aang again and cover the aftermath of the original show? I know there are graphic novels covering that, but there's more to tell, like his adulthood. --- I am the forum boy, I'm the one who posts. <cite>SeahorseCpt89 posted [p:943330508] in The live a...

Its not suddenly going to be good because there are people acting in front of a camera now. Obligatory observation that plenty of people feel the same way about adapting books into films or shows, because the advantages you gain from having a more visceral experience tend to be offset by all of the facets of the story that wind up getting cut out or changed. For every LotR that kind of breaks that rule, we get way too many I Robots, The Seekers, or the like that wind up doing very little beyond alienating the original fans. Mead posted... Who even are the folks that are asking for live action adaptations of animated things? Disney, for one. It apparently allows them to maintain copyright on older movies, concepts, and characters without having to bully the US government into changing copyright law every few decades again. That being said, there's always a (mostly correct) assumption that live-action films will make more money than animated ones. Live-action opens the door to a wider potential audience, pulling in adults who might otherwise feel discouraged from watching animated films, especially if they don't have kids of their own. No animated Marvel movie has ever made as much money as the average MCU film. No matter how many people praise Into the Spider-Verse, or say it's their favorite Spider-Man movie, it still made way less than Spider-Man 3 or even The Amazing Spider-Man 2. It also made less money than every other MCU film ever other than The Incredible Hulk (which is damning with faint praise, honestly). Studio execs who don't really give a shit about any of these properties beyond whether or not they can squeeze more money out of them aren't really going to care whether or not it still appeals to the original audience. They just assume the original audience is going to see it (and pay for it) regardless, because their own fandom and nostalgia will win out no matter how bad the new film is. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:943337834] in The live a...

ParanoidObsessive 08/13/20 2:36:16 PM #15:	Mead posted... damn that is so nuts Yeah. Even when factoring production costs and marketing costs, those movies made hundreds of millions more than Spider-Verse did. And the main reason why we tend to TALK about Spider-Verse as much as we do is because it's one of the most successful animated comic book movies ever. A lot of animated comic movies don't even get theatrical releases at all, and the ones that do rarely do as well (Mask of the Phantasm bombed in theaters, in spite of being tied to one of the most popular animated Batman series of all time, the original Transformers movie was released at the height of Gen 1 popularity and it was technically a bomb in spite of becoming a cultural touchstone for its era). Spider-Verse is actually the anomaly for doing as well as it did. Disney does very well with animated films, and both Pixar (pre-Disney) and Dreamworks kind of dug out a niche of their own, but for the most part animated films outside of that core don't do well at all. Even when it comes to TV shows, animated shows usually don't make all that much money. It's why so many shows wind up having to tie themselves into toy lines to justify their existence (and why the slow death of the toy market lately is kind of killing that business model). It's probably a given that any exec in Hollywood who's actually looked at the numbers is going to assume that live-action always does better than animated. Because there's tons of evidence that suggests that's 100% true. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:943338862] in The live a...
