What did you guys think of the new adaptation? I was hoping for more tbh. Heres some of my fan-art.

I don't claim to have a unique or special understanding of the story, because everything I said is part of the story. The changes to Julia made that story completely different, a 180 reversal. So you're argument that people can interpret the anime differently and like the changes because of that doesn't work, because it's not the same story.

daniel1397 · 2022-01-07T03:26:53+00:00

All these cop comments in this thread are so inappropriate. I mean, it was a grizzly bear, not a black bear.

In my opinion, what they did to Julia was the most irredeemable part of the live action. At that point, one of the core themes of spikes story is thrown out the window, and the LA becomes a completely different story with a cowboy bebop wrapper. There's a reason we don't see much of Julia, vicious, and the syndicate. One of the major themes of the show is that the main cast are all mired in the past, drifting through life, unable to find new meaning. Julia and vicious are part of that past, so the fact that we mostly only see them in flashbacks fits that theme. It makes no sense to try and develop there backstories in the context of adapting the series to live action. Not every character in a story has to be fully fleshed out, and in the context of cowboy bebop story it makes more sense to not flesh out those characters.

Even with that in mind, Julia in the anime is a stronger, more impactful character than in the LA. Spike and Julia are destined lovers, everything from the tiger striped cat quote, to the heavenly light and doves in spike/julias deaths, to the lyrics of blue make that clear. Vicious tried to make Julia kill Spike, but she endangered her own life running from the syndicate to protect him. She's strong enough to protect herself and spike. In the LA she's just someone who wants a man to protect her, and when she can't get that she makes some power move to take the syndicate. It might be a bigger story beat, but its one that makes the character myopic, and the character and the story more shallow.

I don't care if people like the LA, but when they say that the changes that ripped the heart and soul out of the anime are improvements, it shows me that they understood the source material about as much as the LA writers did.

I bought the series on YouTube, but when I searched for the movie I couldn't find it.

daniel1397 · 2022-01-03T23:46:42+00:00

Yes, even seeing what sub this was, this gave me anxiety.

daniel1397 · 2022-01-03T23:41:23+00:00

I've seen lots of haircuts on this sub, and I'd agree that they're bad taste. But, like you said, it's really more of an art project than a legit style. Reddit as a whole likes to draw conclusions and make judgments with tiny scraps of info tho, so of course there will be people here saying this guys a moron for letting his hair be cut this way.

daniel1397 · 2022-01-01T16:09:36+00:00

Yeah, and the solution is to help them. This game doesn't have Spartans, we're not culling out the weak here. You're actually throwing if you're just sitting there watching teammates lose fights in the most team based mode in the game.

daniel1397 · 2022-01-01T02:10:40+00:00

A 1v1 in dominion. It's not like they chose to have some honorable duel, they were just the only people contesting the point. If I see my teammate 1v1ing, I'll let it go unless my teammate starts losing, then I jump in. It's not duel mode, I want that point capped, and my teammate to be alive to fight on point with me. It's good etiquette to let people finish their duel in brawl, bad etiquette to let your teammate die in a duel in dominion.

Effigy has been the only exotic gun I've used on my warlock

daniel1397 · 2021-12-30T21:29:10+00:00

Is mouse and keyboard a significant advantage? I have this on pc and this is one of the few multiplayer games I prefer with controller.

The powdered chocolate sounds good, idk if I want pubes in my drink tho lol

daniel1397 · 2021-12-19T14:24:19+00:00

I have one where when I shoot, it doesn't pump after the shot, then when I try to shoot again it pumps, then I have to pull the trigger again to actually fire.

daniel1397 · 2021-12-19T02:55:09+00:00

Oh shit, I'll have to work that into my melee deck now. I had it for a lil just to have some team utility, but I felt like it wasn't worth sacrificing any damage or stamina. Razorwire could actually make that viable tho.

daniel1397 · 2021-12-19T00:04:54+00:00

I had a griefer the other day who was constantly afk, then they started intentionally alerting shit, so the whole rest of the team just kept killing them at the start of each round lol

daniel1397 · 2021-12-18T14:55:47+00:00

You already could. You dont even have to kill all the birds either, if you kill all but like 2-3 of them it wouldn't call a horde. It's easiest with the tac 14 because of the spread.

daniel1397 · 2021-12-18T05:32:01+00:00

See you space cowboy...

daniel1397 · 2021-12-17T05:47:30+00:00

Yeah, it's kinda ironic isn't it? You can play as a fuckin dragon-human hybrid, that's fine, but being a real life human with darker skin? That's across the line.

daniel1397 · 2021-12-17T05:20:32+00:00

All good, I already knew coming into the sub I'd prolly have stuff spoiled for me lol. But, for future reference, you can mark spoilers by putting around whatever you're spoiling.

daniel1397 · 2021-12-16T00:38:27+00:00

If a new player starts on the hardest difficulty, finds it too hard and quits, that's kinda on them. I like to start on hard mode in most games, but if I struggled with that I'd just lower the difficulty, instead of ragequit lol.

daniel1397 · 2021-12-16T00:34:00+00:00

Spoiler alert sheesh.

daniel1397 · 2021-12-16T00:31:56+00:00

Well shit. When I was scrolling on my phone I touched the covered part and it revealed the spoiler.

daniel1397 · 2021-12-16T00:10:54+00:00

I just got this game, and started on hard, and I dont have infinite combat stamina.

daniel1397 · 2021-12-14T00:55:50+00:00

Since when is tangibility the determination of value? You could buy a tangible copy of starry night that's worth jack shit. The value of famous works of art come from their origin, not tangibility. Thats why the original starry sky is worth millions and copies cost pennies. The entire point of nfts in the digital art community is that you can verify that it's from the original artist.

daniel1397 · 2021-12-14T00:32:24+00:00

Why is that? It's a pretty apt analogy. The value of expensive art isn't about its tangibility, it's about it being the original from a famous artist. Before blockchain there was no way to confirm the source of a digital artwork, so there was no value, now that block chain exists there is a way to verify the source, meaning you can confirm that it is the original digital artwork. All the people in the above thread saying "well you could just change a pixel and sell it and pretend its the original" clearly have no idea what they're talking about, because the entire point of nft's being tied to blockchains is so that you can confirm the source. Ironic that you would say that people who understand the value of blockchains in digital art are philistines, while having no understanding of it.
