#gritty adaptation

[egophiliac]

(Geats 20 spoilers)

speaking of being hilariously bad at predictions...

I was SO convinced that the twist was going to be that nobody was the Desistar, it was all just to psych the players out, that actually having it turn out to be, like, a real thing completely blindsided me. you got me again, children's show!

#art #kamen rider #kamen rider geats #geats spoilers #i guess the twist was that out of the two non-main characters #it was the slightly less obvious one #you know what good for her though. get that crown sae. #it's not her fault she's up against a group of Protagonists™ #meanwhile michinaga has exited the game and is now in the gritty hbo adaptation of plants vs zombies #this is not where i thought his character was going to go but i'm here for it #multiple eyes #trypophobia #maybe? not really but for the sake of filters

Who’s next???

VELMA!

Lesbian.

No literally I think that any adaptation where she’s dating a man it’s odd.

I just can’t see her with a man.

She and Shaggy have a best friend pact where if they can’t find a partner by the time they’re like 40 they’ll both get married.

She definitely had a crush on Daphne at some point (or still does in some versions). I’m versions where they don’t meet until they’re teens she misjudged Daphne and thought she was one of those spoilt and rude rich girls but once she gets to know her and becomes her friend she likes her and then develops feelings it’s a gradual thing. In versions where they met as kids the crush happens quicker because Velma knew her true side sooner.

Velma finds stereotypes absolutely ridiculous. She acts the way she likes.

She was definitely in a relationship with Marcie (Hot Dog Water) in Mystery Incorporated. Rivals to lovers stuff.

I think the whole gang are Queer tbh. Velma is a lesbian, Shaggy is gay, Daphne is Bisexual but maybe with a small preference towards men and Fred is Pansexual.

The first people she came out to was the gang. They were super supportive and I 100% believe that because Fred is a himbo he bought her a bunch of pride stuff. She thinks it’s sweet though because even if it’s a bit excessive it’s coming from a good place and it shows that he supports her.

She and Shaggy are mlm/wlm solidarity.

And I would gladly break your every bone to have you breathe some more.

#nitty gritty #is he. also referred to with ''t'' in his last name? ... is it a last name?? wack #julian t #julian's journal #that's what His Story is called on toyhouse at least #sock.clip #shoutout to sock for giving these guys locks. i love long luscious hair as much as the next guy but like.. i 'unno they just look so cool #anyway i may have overestimated my ability to adapt these two very cartoony guys to my ''style'' so i can only hope it looks good.

uh oh sisters! new avatar adaptation is looking like its gonna suck again

#it looks like they're gonna make it too gritty #albeit it ALREADY looks better than the.. other one #but what people fail to understand that animation and live action are inherently different mediums even though they're both movies/tv #and whenever you change the medium of a story #you HAVE to be very aware of what the medium itself is doing to the source text #and how that story used the strengths of its medium #and how the new medium will lack these strengths #but how the new medium will have different strengths that should be drawn out #and despite what people think #'grittiness' is not inherently a strength of live action #it's really trite and overdone now and avatar the last airbender #NEEDS the inherent JOY that comes from the medium of animation #which is NOT impossible to capture in live action #but if you do not center that feeling #the whole thing falls apart #anyways #ATLA needs joy because even though the story is actually very intense #it is at its heart about a young boy who chooses joy in spite of that #any adaptation that doesn't capture that is never going to have the same heart the animated series had

[true-bluesargent]

i hate the argument people make about adaptations where they're like oh they had to cut things out and change them those are the limitations of the medium! have we ever considered. perhaps. and just stay with me here. that sometimes the medium they were originally created in is the correct medium to tell that particular story. and it does not NEED retelling in some other format? can't books just be books and stage musicals just be stage musicals and animations just be animations

#adaptations #atla doesnt need to be live action and it doesnt need to be shorter and it doesnt need to be gritty or adult #percy jackson is a great book and while the show is fun. we could just leave it as a book #mean girls the musical doesn't need to be shortened and changed and made into a movie. neither does in the heights. sorry #how to train your dragon does not need to be live action #and controversially: movies and tv shows do not need to be novelised

[bluebellhairpin]

I'm absolutely LOVING how the animatronics looks exactly like they do in the game. I think that's so cool actually.

#for me thats my favourite part #i honestly expected them to look more 'real' and 'gritty' like people normally do with adaptions like this #but this is so TRUE TO THE ORIGINAL and i really like it #nemos thoughts #five nights at freddy's #fnaf movie

[aidenwaites]

HBO max is the worst company to make television for these days. However if they want to give me funding for this little project I've got called Prey Animal,

#for context there's a goofy idea with Jack Rabbit where twenty years latet Alex writes a memoir called Prey Animal which then gets a #gritty hbo adaptation #<- tags that only make sense to the miniscule number of people who've ever payed attention to me and my fiance OC posting

“When you're lost in the darkness, look for the light.” - Fireflies slogan • I’m not ready for the #hbo #lastofus tv series to end next week 🥲 They have done this adaptation so amazingly - although personally I felt there was couple clicker scenes I would have loved to see! It least if allows those to pick up the game who haven’t yet to still, and I will be picking up the game again to relive this story! • I hadn’t played the second part, when it was released I was pregnant in the pandemic that didn’t seem wise for my mental health to pick it up at the time 😅 but looking forward to playing through it soon! • • #lastofus #leftbehind #videogame #adaptions #fanart #gritty #dark #light #fireflies #apocalypse #cordyceps #illustration #procreate #edit #artist #creative #whiteinks #darkgrounds #dark #darkart #darkaesthetic #aesthetics #ａｅｓｔｈｅｔｉｃ (at Wimbledon, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpkTCRuIj2I/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

so i just binged the sandman series on Netflix (i read most of the comics a long time ago) and while i haven't really sorted out my feelings about despair i have sorted out how i feel about the fact that she’s missing from all the promotional material while desire isn’t, spoiler alert i don't love it

also i kinda hate how she’s the only one of the endless that looks normal like

SPOILER WARNING FOR COMICS

when destruction shows up i really like how with his resentment of his realm. he’s the only of the endless that doesn’t look ethereal other than pre-delirium delight.  Like i think it makes sense that the two of the endless most in conflict with their domains look at odds with their ethereal nature, but in this adaptation despair is a regular non-skinny woman other than her actions, like even with death not being dramatic like Morpheus or desire, she still wears mostly black and rocker clothing and wears her ankh.  like while idk how i feel about original design i really don’t like that in the Netflix adaptation the only thing that speaks to her being despair is her weight.  In the comics at least she had long uncut and perhaps oily hair, and wore no clothing, in general i don't really like that a hallmark of despair is being fat but i really don't like that in the Netflix version it seems that that is the only indicator of her despair other than acting choices (also the actress did a great job! just give her some makeup, a wig or at least an interesting costume)

#sandman #i really liked alot of things about the adaptation #as someone who had death as a lock screen for years i loved her portrayal #the only other complaints i had were the de-punkification of like so many characters #and that it was kinda sanitized (24 hrs) which in some ways i'm glad for (SA) but it also removed some of the grittiness of the show #also it should have been set in the 90s and i will die on this hill

The soundtrack to my descent into madness

#in the biographically inaccurate film adaptation of my life #this is what plays when i allegedly go on a drug-fueled spree of drinking and dancing out till late and orgies in paris for like three month #it's messy it's sexy it's a downward spiral it's expensive and gritty yet full of excess and decadence #meanwhile irl i just wanna curl up in bed cozy and listen to music or read or watch a film or write #music

As a kid I was very anxious I remember specifically one time reading that Fireheart volunteered for a patrol that wasn’t assigned to him and I desperately wanted him not to go. I checked out from reading for a few minutes at my desk and sat there visualizing that he stayed in his den & nothing bad happened instead to any of the kittycats

#gritty hbo warrior cats adaptation when?

[rata-novus]

so. the fallout show is actually better than i thought it would be. which i recognize isn't an incredibly high bar to clear, but i had a good fun time watching it so 👍

#the h files #fallout show #like out of all vg -> show/movie adaptations ive seen this one kinda nails the feeling of the original the best #unsurprisingly The Ghoul is my fave walton goggins is in supreme cunty form and the plot was p good/intriguing? #seeing all the refs was neat when the title theme played for the first time i actually jumped up and down pointing like that leo meme #and its thankfully not a gritty grimdark realistic adaptation #like the show is goofy in a knowing wink wink kinda way like the games can be which i appreciate #anyway hoping for a 2nd season i NEED me some super mutants and deathclaws fr #plus coop/lucy reluctant father/daughter shit pls

[instantpansies]

Beloved Oz mutual I need to ask what’s your favorite Oz adaptation? You can tell a lot about a person based on their favorite Oz adaptation. I haven’t decided what yet but you can definitely tell SOMETHING

oooooh this is a good question...... i've always been mainly a fan of the baum books. the 1939 film is classic (definitely a comfort movie), i like The Wiz and Wicked, but my absolute favorites are probably Daisy Finch Maguire's Yellow Brick Ramble, the Shanower/Young graphic novelizations, and the Oz No Mahoutsukai 1986 anime :)

#i haven't seen tin man yet but i really want to!! gonna check out that one next #also the like. gritty marvel comics adaptation lol. the oz squad? #yes i like the muppets wizard of oz but i think it's weak in comparison to other muppets remakes #the oz kids is funny but not my favorite #also! i like the game oz no mahoutsukai: another world (rungrung). i downloaded a ps1 emulator just to play it lol! #havent finished it bc the emulator keeps deleting my save slots :/ but someday i wanna sit down and playthrough. it's cute #thanks for the ask!!! it's hard to choose lol #wizard of oz #asks

[necromancy-savant]

...if there's going to be a Murderbot series, does that mean there could someday be a Locked Tomb (animated) series...?

#not trying to speak anything into existence but #I'm not even sure if would translate well to another medium #and like nobody would ever be happy about the casting or adaptation or art style #I was thinking gritty comic book/manga; one of my friends said 90s anime and I think we're actually imagining the same thing

Modern Adaptation: An Xmas Carol

Charles Dickens wrote the thing at a time when the greed of the ruling class needed to be shown - point blank.

We keep remaking the classic in the same perspective and with the same "nuance" as if the book was written to be subtle.

But it was a punch in the face to every rich business owner of the time.

You ever get tired of the same retelling of an Xmas Carol?

Me too. Yawwwwn. Who cares about some bitter old dude from the 1800s? Scrooge had nothing. Dude slept in a cold ass home with no security.

Now, as a Billionaire, I sleep in a home fit for the King of business I am! I've worked my whole life for what I've got. Ground up and I can afford everything I want.

Whoever said money can't buy happiness - never bought their own theme park.
