Cowboy Bebop Thread - Live-Action Adaptation cancelled after one season (it was shit)

She seems too old for that character, how old was she in the anime? It's been so long since I watched it.

It's a he I think. Anime Ed hadn't reached puberty yet obviously so I'm guessing 12-14 off the top of my head.

No, the acting is on point. The casting, direction and camera angles are wrong.

Ed looks like Doctor Insano.

The entire Ed scene looks like a fucking Nostalgia critic skit that'd show up in a review of the anime. Just replace spike with doug. The greenscreen is so bad. Why is the alley a greenscreen? Why didn't they properly scale it? the door to their right would be fucking tiny if it was real.

 

[Corpun]

You tell me which one is better with dialogue and characterization.

I know the standards for child actors is low but this is just bad. Like worst than a fanfilm. Also looks like they're gonna butcher Vincent if this shitfest ever gets a season 2.

This feels like the sketch "comedy" part of MST3K. Not the good one, the Netflix reboot.

It's amazing how terrible this is. Every clip is worse than the last. Every creative decision was wrong.

It's so bad I almost want to watch it in a MST3K kind of way.

No that's Julia. I wish I was joking.

And of course. Of course Ed is played by "newcomer Eden Perkins (they/them)"

>”they/them”
>not a tomboy

How does one think this while not growing too insane over it?

If only we had that rendered in live action, of course I'm sure that would trigger someone!

Don't forget "replace rival smashing spike out the window with his ex GF who is now a strong woman who doesnt need man telling him off about how their relationship was a "bad dream" before she shoots him and he conveniently falls and smashes through the thick ass mosaic window like it was made out of paper.

John Cho flailing his arms is really funny to me. He's effectively going "aaaaahhhhh!"

Not even Hideo Kojumbo liked it, dropped it in the first episode and went to watch Hellbound

Ok I torrented this thing to see how bad it is. Not really much that wasn't apparent from the clips.

The good:
(1) Guy who plays Jet. Props to him. He really tried. Hope he gets better work out of this shit show.

The Bad:
(1) Faye. Unlikeable character. Terrible actress. Fay isn't supposed to be some girl power tough girl trope.
(2) The tone completely misses the mark. Did they intentionally make it silly because the original was a cartoon and figured that's was the way it was supposed to be?
(3) Everything looks so cheap. Good Christ I've seen 90's syndicated shows with better production values.
(4) Recycling plots from the original show was a bad idea. Just shows how inferior this show is.
(5) Spike. 50-year-old John Cho is not action hero, leading man material. He is flat and lacks charisma. Makes the Julia flash back love scenes laughable.
(6) Vicious. Laughably bad 60s batman style villain. Whenever he is on the screen the show screeches to a halt. He has entirely too much screen time.

You know, I was going to try to write some long winded shit, but this is significantly better.

Based on the spoilers I've read and the clips I've just watched ...

If you watched this pile of shit and thought it was "ok" or "good," then you must have COVID ... Because you've lost your sense of taste.

I don't think even the shill critics can polish this turd.

If Hideo seriously drops a satirical reference of disliking Cowboy Bebop in Death Stranding 2
