saint seiya is fucking old. Like, 80s old.

It's basically the OG dragon ball Z but with lots of gore and greek mythology sprinkled in

People will complain about any live action without considering how the source material is a campy fantasy story for kids.

What I always found interesting about Saint Seiya is that it aired in almost every other country EXCEPT the US.

It's from an era where Japanese kids shows were pretty liberal in their violence.

Like, know Fist of the North Star? That old bloody, violent show? That was aimed at kids.

Gore warning,

anyway my biggest concerns are that a movie is absolutely not the medium to adapt the original saint seiya to, fucking sean bean, and the recent netflix series possibly being used as a template; gore is very much a secondary concern

That was just the style at the time with what technology they had available. Saint Seiya deliberately broke the trend by giving all the characters normal human hair colors then the anime came along and was like "lmao fuck that everyone getting green and blue hair" against the objections of Kurumada. He's still sour about it.

It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha."

It's shonen, so it's absolutely for kids, at least in Japan.

@Ivynn
Actually it did, but it was given a terrible dub where the opening song was "I Ran" and all the blood was changed into "cosmic energy" or something.

That's the bronze wolf knight, being "killed" in an illusion from Ikki's phantom fist.

lol that's certainly a random song for it. Must've been waaaay after Saint Seiya stopped being relevant in pop culture. In other words, too little too late.
