A handgun big enough for the colossal titan that uses normal sized bullets and only one at a time. Just a gun as big as a house and it fires a little .22. I just walked in I don't know what we're talking about but I misread what you said and now this image is in my head.

Checking in just to see if the plot has progressed, at this point my prediction is that the Titans are prototypes for power ranger kaijews

It's a monthly series though. If it was weekly it'd have been done years ago.

Just popping in to say I thought the live-action Attack on Titan movie was a huge pile of poo poo. Not a fan of the narrative/character changes, casting/acting sucked, and the inconsistent VFX looked cheap as hell. How long until Hollywood options an American remake and potentially fucks it up even more? For real though, the movie was worse than Josh Trank's Fantastic Four imo. poo poo was godawful.

I think the only possibility of a live action attack on titan that isn't completely worthless, is pretty much some kind of HBO tv series.

I imagine WETA or ILM would have a field day with the VFX for a Hollywood produced Attack on Titan. The maneuver gear scenes in the Japanese live-action venture sucked hard.

Say what you will about MICHAEL BAY or HOLLYWOOD violating the holy sanctity of animes but imo it's kind of a no-brainer for me to expect a better special effects action blockbuster from them than Japanese cinema  Like if you told me Japan and the U.S. were simultaneously adapting live action Titan films I'd expect them to both suck but at least the American one would probably suck but have better special effects...maybe even more decent actors if luck provides just because of the larger available talent pool. I mean from what people were saying the Japanese release totally hosed with the setting, made everyone Japanese, and set it in like post-apoc Japan, that's basically the type of poo poo people whine about with Hollywood Anime adaptations Punkin Spunkin fucked around with this message at 23:11 on Aug 16, 2015 |

Man now I'm sad he'd never get to make an AOT live-action movie. Because say what you will about Hellboy, I loved the poo poo out of the first one and the second one was passable, but those movies did monster fightin' real good.

To be fair Monster is pretty easy to adapt to film/tv since it's a standard murder drama/thriller. Attack on Titan is a whole other story. And an Attack on Titan tv series would need an enormous budget or it'd look like poo poo.

Band of Brothers and The Pacific had a production budget of like $200 million I think. Both were a 10 episode miniseries, with each episode being around an hour or so. I think an Attack on Titan miniseries with that kind of budget and episode length could be good.

I could see a hollywood version working, it wouldn't require any effect tech that comes completely out of left field. It's also the very rare anime that has a mostly european/western cast, so you don't run into the usual whitewashing. Depending on how much they condense the story, you could go through the Trost fight or all the way to the fight against Annie in the city, though then you're really speeding through it. I really wish Sasha had been able to eat some meat in the recent chapter, hopefully someone untied her and fed her some at some point. On the other hand, as soon as I saw the meat served I immediately thought that Sasha will have fulfilled her life's ambition and will be the next to die.

Not a fan of the narrative/character changes, casting/acting sucked, and the inconsistent VFX looked cheap as hell. How long until Hollywood options an American remake and potentially fucks it up even more? Also just popping by to agree. Saw the movie a few days ago.  Apparently there is a "4DX" version (apparently "4D" isn't enough, there's the X-factor) where you get to ride around in chairs and look like this presumably:  Overall impression (no story spoilers, but if you want to go in without knowing anything about it, best not to read this): The characters all are waaaay different than in the manga, with "Levi" being probably the biggest change and disappointment. It's a completely different character; I don't understand how you can change the name, appearance, plot, and literally everything about a person and still claim it's supposed to be them. What is even the point? Especially ironic since he's always voted the top most-liked character. Eren, Armin, and Mikasa are also way different, and all disappointing. And even the Japanese reviews admit everyone (especially Eren and Armin) look the same. The characters with special traits, like Sasha and potatoes or Hanji and loving titans, are done waaaaay over the top. There's no scene where Sasha isn't enjoying a potato. Which sounds great, but apparently there is a such thing as too much of a good thing. I thought the titans were pretty good. Definitely don't eat before you go to this movie. I think they went more for a horror approach than the action movie I had expected it to be. Also, yes, the 3DMG was awful. Just terrible. Changes to the plot (vague, but obviously spoilery): A surprising amount of the plot was changed along with the characters and their various backstories and even family, but I guess it's still vaguely AoT? Minor plot spoilers: And I never would have guessed Eren would have ever made it to second base. That scene was really weird. If manga Mikasa ever found out... I'll see the second part when it comes out in a few days.

Ytlaya posted:Um, would you mind telling us what changes there were? You just say "Changes to the plot: A lot of the plot was changed." Well one change from the ainme that bothered me was they made Mikasa kind of weak willed when we're introduced to her. She's a happy-go-lucky type and fun-loving; not some quiet, strong willed individual. Later on in the film she somehow transitions from this "damsel in distress" type character into a hard-as-gently caress titan-killing badass with no explanation whatsoever. It's the most jarring loving thing.

Yeah, I mean this is why I roll my eyes at people railing at live action American adaptations of anime series, it's not like the Japanese often do a much better job and at least with Hollywood you'll get a bigger budget/better special effects and possibly a better cast. Some of that stuff sounds really lame. At least Michael Bay might make it look cool. Here you have a Mikasa defanged in much the same way otakus might fear Hollywood handling her.
