How THE LAST AIRBENDER Ruined My Childhood
Avatar: The Last Airbender is one of the greatest animated series ever made. Created by Michael Dimartino and Bryan Konietzko, ATLA follows the story of Aang and his friends as they go on a journey to end a 100-year war and bring peace to the world. The series takes a lot of inspiration from different eastern cultures as well as western media (Star Wars specifically). It was truly lightning in a bottle. The success of the series lead to a live-action adaptation, and that was, well… Let’s talk about M. Night Shyamalan’s The Last Airbender. There are very few films that I hate. I try to see the best in everything,…

ONE PIECE Live Action TV Show Gets a Writer
In 2017, we got the announcement that One Piece was getting a live-action treatment from the creators of Prison Break. Since then, it has been silent like a crowd during an Adam Sandler comedy show. Today, we have got some information. According to one individual from the editor’s office, a writer has been hired and more info will be announced later this year. As a fan of this source material, I will give this a chance (and probably review it once it is out) but I can’t say that I’m hyped about it. How Loney Tunes meets Pirates of the Caribbean on crack is possible with live action is beyond me. The…

ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL Gets a Second Trailer
Alita: Battle Angel is one of these properties that has been in “development” for years (maybe even a decade) when it comes to getting a live action treatment. But like we know since a while back, the movie is happening with James Cameron producing and Robert Rodriguez directing. Today, 20th Century Fox released a new trailer, giving us some new info about it. As someone that has read the manga, this looks quite promising if you ask me. But then again, many bad movies have had great trailers. Alita: Battle Angel is set to release on the 21st of December. What did you think of the trailer? Comment below and…

Opinion: Why ATTACK ON TITAN Needs Another Live Action Adaptation
After my reviews (or should I call them rants) of the live-action adaptations, you probably did not expect this post (unless you read the schedule obviously). I’ve always believed that Attack on Titan is a franchise with cinematic potential. A failed attempt, no matter if it is from the land where the source material comes from or an attempt from the west. No matter what your thoughts are about Netflix’s adaptation of Death Note, there is a successful live-action adaptation from Japan. On the western side, we have the live-action adaptation of the light novel with the name of All You Need is Kill, or Edge of Tomorrow as the…

Review: ATTACK ON TITAN Live Action (Part 2)
The second movie takes off where the first one left off. What more can I really say as a synopsis? You know the saying “it might get better from here”? I wished this statement would fit when it came to these live-action adaptations, but sadly they don’t. If anything it is only making it worse. The only benefits that this second part has over its predecessors is that it tries to world build. But going one step forward is not an overall improvement when you at the same time walk steps backward. I don’t know how they pulled it off, but the movie looks uglier than the previous attempt (and…

Review: ATTACK ON TITAN Live Action (Part One)
If your franchise gets popular enough, a live-action treatment is bound to happen. This movie is the first part of a live-action adaptation of the titan-sized franchise that I have posted about for the last four days. The synopsis goes like season one of the anime; we follow the likes of Eren Jaeger and his friend’s training so that they can be apart of the army that fights against the Titans, humanoid monsters who feeds on people like they were strawberries on a bush. I was first thinking of doing a video review for this movie. If I did that, you would have me sit there in chock, and an…
