    Ya at this point, I’m too hurt. I dont acknowledge the existence of live adaptations until the reviews come out. Have seen Netflix One Piece and HBO TLOU. Still have not seen Netflix Bebop or the Avatar Netflix / shamalonanon movie.

        It’s amazing how a huge fandom has so completely shut out a big entry.

        …Hypothetically. Not that there is any movie.

      I’ll be honest with you, the first episode of Netflix Bebop did actually feel like a Cowboy Bebop episode, I thought it was actually quite good. Then it… kinda went downhill, as I recall.

        I mean I thought it was a pretty great adaptation, that being the keyword. An interpretation of the original. I mostly really enjoyed the cast, they definitely seemed into their characters. Shame we only got that season, I feel like it had a lot of room to grow from.

      One of my dirtiest secrets is that I saw the Shamalang Airbender movie before I watched (or even somehow was very familiar with) the animated series…

      And I thought it was fine! I didn’t hate it!

      Now, ATLA is in my top 5 favorite shows of all time and I’ve watched it like a half dozen times. Pretty sure if I went back and watched the film I’d hate it.

      But still, I wonder if it really wasn’t THAT bad if we weren’t expecting it to be just like the show.
