I’m hoping Netflix’s Winx Club show turns out good. I’ve heard some strange rumors about it.

Netflix can do well with adaptations, but they seem to suck with live action adaptations of animated shows.

tl;dr version:
-Bryke were demanding a high budget
-Netflix wanted to cast white actors for certain parts
-Netflix wants a darker, more “mature” tone with sex and bloodSo this is going to be M. Night’s The Last Airbender mixed with Riverdale. Got it.
Glad it ended.

Bad news, buddy… I think they’re still going through with it.

Oh so they are gonna kill it even more. Great.
I can wait for the next Avatar series to revive the franchise.

Well, at least the Ferengi look alright in this art style.
@Angrybrony
Indeed they are. I mean… just, why?

I’m still not big into the look. It’s okay,but I’d prefer more realism. I guess that wouldn’t fit a comedy though. Actually the comedy is the weaker part of the show for me. I don’t like Marriner. She talks too much. It looks like she’s going to be a final character,too. I’m far more interested in the other crew members. I’m still optimistic.

Definitely not for everyone. It’s got lots of little Star Trek references going on,but otherwise it’s pretty much it’s own thing. Which is kind of unfortunate,the Star Trek bits are the strongest parts. I’m hoping the focus shifts away from Marriner. I don’t hate her,but the other characters are FAR more interesting than her and Boimler.

I’ve noticed after the ‘90s & 2000s “realistic” style cartoons kinda died off. The closest thing we’ve seen sense are all the animesque shows, or the “Guest star” caricature characters in Scooby-Doo video-movies.
While I enjoy cartoonier or anime styles, and such I kinda miss slighty-realistic based cartoon styles too. I like variety in animation.

That’s jumping the gun a little, eh?
Well, Bryke demanded a higher budget, that’s kind of a nothing thing to report on. I think every showrunner wants a higher budget than what they’re given. We don’t know how much Netflix is spending here.
The white actors thing sucks. You could probably get away with that with some of the Fire Nation people, they’re pale af and all. None of the mains though.
As for the tone. A live action version of the fights from the cartoon will need to be more violent. Otherwise they’ll look really stupid, that’s just a fact. The shitty movie went for the action-scenes-for-kids route and it looked retarded.
We’re talking about a series where people are flinging razor-sharp icicles, boulders, and literally fire at each other. The cartoon got away with these restrictions because it’s cartoon, with LA? Those same fights could easily turn into slapstick.
Unless, they’re going for an M-rating…

I don’t think bryke would oppose to that type of violence, but the fact they include “sex” reveals a lot
They want it to be like other shows, raunchy for no reason at all and containing adult jokes because haha very funny
The only live action show that handles violence and sex well is Better Call Saul

I think the show does need a pretty high budget if they want to make the bending effects look good. I mean, look at how the 2010 movie screwed up with that.
I joked in the Nerd Thread that the only exception I’d give was Nicolas Cage as Toph’s dad, because they do kind of look alike.
I don’t think that’s too big an issue in a vacuum, but the fact that they included “sex” along with it and apparently said that they wanted to age up the characters is very concerning. Since half of the deal with the show is that they’re kids, and that kids shouldn’t be fighting in a war. Aging it up to make them adults or older teens just so they can have them boning… that’s not Avatar.

Who cares about your Vastness Steam-liner or whatever it is? Never seen it, and I legit forgot that was even a thing until you mentioned it.

CGI has improved in the last decade. It’s possible to make good looking effects on a budget. It’s also still possible to make absolute shit with a blank check.
The site’s fake but I still say that aside from Aang and Toph, the entire cast are teenagers. Teens gonna teen, so SEX.
The kids fighting wars thing as tragic, well aside from Jet and his crew, the more general “war is tragic” was more central to the show. You don’t lose much there if the cast weren’t kids anymore.
I’m really not against aging up here, most child actors are just not good enough.

I’ve been thinking of starting to watch Bojack because I’ve heard it deals with depression in a realistic manner.
