Has any live action adaptation been good? Even one piece was pretty terrible
I liked the one piece one 
One Piece was cast perfectly which alone makes it probably the best live action remake to ever exist
It's amazing how little perfect casting is worth when the rest is bad. Henry Cavill was a perfect choice for superman and those movies were atrocious.

Insh'Allah he gets a good Red Son adaptation as a final go at Kal El.
Henry Cavill going hard into Red Son and turning both the Witcher and Warhammer nerds (and posibly my girlfriend) into Leninists.
Seems like Netflix is making a kids show thats just a marvel spectacle. Yeah it sucks and the original was excellent but it’s still a fucking tv show like am I the only one who doesn’t hold any tv show in such regard that remakes offend me? Read a book if you want deep characters mf
Yeah. It's junk food. This is being upset that they're just putting air into the chocolate.
I'm not really big on avatar the last airbender, but was the animated adaptation as good as the movie?
The movie was really bad. The cartoon is much better
I tried watching the show and was almost immediately turned off; they keep mispronouncing his name, he's way out of character (very oddly childish too), and why are the powers so dramatically overpowered? They should've left it at the movie and called it a day, it didn't need a for kids adaptation.
Look, people just want some humor and a lot of action. They want to establish a global threat, have hour heroes fail to stop it once and begin to fight amongst themselves. The main character will talk about how friendship and hope binds them together, then they return to the global threat, stronger than ever. There's a huge action set piece where the hero thinks about his friends and glows and floats and screams in slow motion, then the global threat ends. The last half of the final episode is setting up the next season.
Netflix doesn't have writers, they have a big ML algorithm trained by decades of lowest-bidder scripts and viewing habits. They hire writers later to "punch up" whatever the algo spits out.
they have a big ML algorithm
Why is everyone here so worked up about a Netflix slop adaptation of a cartoon for babies?
It was made for tweens, teens, and young adults thank you very much.
the fact that a live action show aimed at adults is being made with less trust in the audience to handle any sign of moral ambiguity than the show for babies is noteworthy
I'm looking forward to the inevitable animated remake of the live action adaptation. They're already doing it with One Piece.
Why do we have so many posts about this?
It's a fucking live action remake of a decade plus children's TV show. Of course it's going to suck can we please stop pretending this shit matters and skip all the forced discourse? I know the current media landscape is dire and sad but there's literally zero reason to take shit like this seriously
m night shyamalan already made an avatar adaptation. Not sure why we need this one
