the new cowboy bebop isn’t meant to capture the source material. it’s a fun, schlocky nostalgia trip and complaining that it doesn’t have the gravitas or artful detail of the original makes you look like an insufferable dweeb

honestly i’ve been watching new bebop as if every episode is just a wacky cosplay skit and it’s fun as hell. my brain has been wrecked by trauma and i no longer have the capacity to get mad about this shit

if anything i hope this will get more people interested in the original series, which is a fucking masterpiece. i never expected anything to capture it and nothing ever will

That makes a lot of sense as a goal and I do think that can be a ton of fun. It also was absolutely not the vibe I got from announcements or marketing. They showed identical-shot-comparisons with the vibe of "the same, but with live actors."

I just don't like it and I don't think it's very good. Idk if that makes me an insufferable dweeb but I can live with it.

Pacific Rim was a fun movie but imagine how mad everyone would have gotten if they called it a live action "Evangelion" remake?

That first line is enough of a reason to ask, “then why the fuck did they even bother?!”
