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.
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.
