#the best adaptation

[cozylittleartblog]

cant tell you how bad it feels to constantly tell other artists to come to tumblr, because its the last good website that isn't fucked up by spoonfeeding algorithms and AI bullshit and isn't based around meaningless likes

just to watch that all fall apart in the last year or so and especially the last two weeks

there's nowhere good to go anymore for artists.

edit - a lot of people are saying the tags are important so actually, you'll look at my tags.

#please dont delete your accounts because of the AI crap. your art deserves more than being lost like that #if you have a good PC please glaze or nightshade it. if you dont or it doesnt work with your style (like mine) please start watermarking #use a plain-ish font. make it your username. if people can't google what your watermark says and find ur account its not a good watermark #it needs to be central in the image - NOT on the canvas edges - and put it in multiple places if you are compelled #please dont stop posting your art because of this shit. we just have to hope regulations will come slamming down on these shitheads#in the next year or two and you want to have accounts to come back to. the world Needs real art #if we all leave that just makes more room for these scam artists to fill in with their soulless recycled garbage #improvise adapt overcome. it sucks but it is what it is for the moment. safeguard yourself as best you can without making #years of art from thousands of artists lost media. the digital world and art is too temporary to hastily click a Delete button out of spite

i’m so sick of writers who proudly proclaim that they don’t read and directors and actors and other filmmakers who smugly say that they rarely watch movies or any artist who acts like an audience is stupid for connecting with their work like what the fuck is wrong with you that you hold such contempt such derision for the art that you have chosen to make the art that so many people dream of the opportunity to make the art that brings meaning and connection to people’s lives it’s unbelievably disrespectful to both your audience and the art-form and if you can’t muster basic respect for either your art-form or your audience then kindly fuck off and do something else

#i hate how rare it is to have an actor be like ‘yeah i just really love movies and going to the movies it’s the best i love what i do’ #to the point where when an actor or director IS like that people are like ‘wow what a freak…they’re faking it for attention’ like!! no!! #that’s what it’s SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE!! you WANT creators who are obsessed with their medium!!! #and what gets me about the people who don’t feel that way is the clear Pride they feel like they’re Better for not caring #that uk ya author adapting the odyssey and admitting that they’ve never read the odyssey or the iliad #that writer on twitter saying that telling writers to read is ableist #the russo brothers saying that the theatrical experience is elitist and auteurism should bow to the disney/netflix model #christain bale and any number of other actors who proudly announce that they don’t watch movies #sam levinson who talks about tv like it’s a long movie because he can’t hack it as a filmmaker like his dad but he doesn’t actually LIKE tv #like i get not wanting to consume your own work after it’s released unless it’s for research or self reflection purposes #but you do not exist or create in a vacuum and it’s SO disrespectful and arrogant to act like you do

To everyone hating on Poseidon in the tv show for being shitty:

Poseidon is clearly paying child support. Or do you think that Sally's job (at Sweets on America if they're sticking to the book) pays for the apartment, Percy's private boarding school, Gabe's gambling addiction, other living costs and renting that really, really fancy Monhawk cabin?

Poseidon stayed away because Sally broke up with him. Sally told him to stop visiting. Poseidon wanted to make Sally and Percy immortal and build them a freaken palace in his kingdom. He wanted to treat Sally like a queen. He wanted to raise Percy.

Poseidon is the one who gave Riptide to Chiron to give to Percy. He's at least trying to help, while listening to Zeus's rules and Sally's wishes. And let's not forget the pearls he gives Percy to protect him from Hades, later on in the book.

Poseidon knows that by claiming Percy as his (forbidden) son, he's putting a target on his back - and now both Zeus and Hades and very possibly Athena - all want him dead because of the threat Percy poses to Olympus due to the great prophecy. He tried to avoid that. He literally waited until the last possible minute (2 weeks? before Zeus's deadline) to claim Percy because he was trying to avoid putting Percy in that position.

#Poseidon is a good father by godly standards #actually he's the best by godly standards #by mortal standards he's not bad. not good either; but not bad #pjo disney+ #percy jackson #pjo #pjo tv show #pjo tv series #pjo tv spoilers #pjo tv adaptation #pjo show #percy jackson tv show #pjo adaptation #rick riordan #percy jackson and the olympians #percy #poseidon #percy & poseidon #good father poseidon #so can we cool it with the hate please? #seafam

Alright so u know the scene where Smaug opens an eye under the treasure and it’s all the party can see of him bc he’s sleeping under there.

This is what sand boas look like. And they burrow under the sand and are ambush predators. And they are reptiles. Like Smaug. Do you see where I am going with this

Thang. Smaug. If you even care

#the hobbit #lotr #please this is the best and funniest idea I’ve ever had #also if he actually looked like this I’d wheeze laugh #just #the potential this has #local beastie hyped up to be the worst creature of the millenium #local beastie also looks like a sock puppet. #smaug #smaug the dragon #sand boa #I love sand boas a lot btw I’m not making fun of them in a mean way #that’s a banger evolutionary adaptation it just #well it also looks like if u put googly eyes on a Tube

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #lan wangji #jin guangyao #qin su #The parallels to the mulderskully comic were genuine scripting coincidences that I kept in for the irony. #wwx and mulder both have a strong need to show their beloved (investigation) partner the cool thing they just found. #Much to their chagrin and concern. #For as much of a mess the plot gets in The Untamed...one of the things it does probably the best of all adaptions is setting up JGY. #specifically how we spend time getting to know him as a *Regular Guy* around our deuteragonists' age. #I love how he's present in the cloud recess arc! I was rooting for him as a character! The twist villain reveal felt so heartbreaking! #Here in the audio drama (for as much as it does well) we pretty much get 2 scenes tops with this guy before he's villain monologuing. #before this we know him as 1) the guy NMJ yelled at a lot 2) a suspect 3) leader guy Jin Ling was partially raised by. #The elements are there but but not with any particular depth to make him...interesting (in this version). #Sure we get to learn more after the fact but it just falls so flat in comparison B*/ #ohhhh noooo the guy we are pretty sure killed a guy is gaslighting his wife and has a secret torture chamber. And he's a politician. #not much of a mystery to it all innit. #Feel free to disagree or bring up differing points btw; I love media analysis convos and this truly is just my opinion.

You know what I'm really excited for when percy jackson adaption comes out ? It's the short edited YouTube videos. "Annabeth being a girl boss for 6 min straight" "grover being the most relatable for 3 min" "the original trio bring chaotic for the whole 8 minutes" "walker being percy for 10 minutes" "percy and annabeth falling for each other for the whole season" "pjo cast making you smile for 9 minutes straight"

#percy jackson #pjo #percy jackson tv adaption #annabeth chase #grover underwood #the original trio #yeah i live for those videos #they are the underrated masterpeice #why does no one talk about this #they are the best #percabeth #riordanverse

It’s so cute seeing other fandoms complain about their really good anime adaptations meanwhile s1 and 2 of Kuro are just… bad. Just an absolute dumpster fire. Like I’m seeing people complaining because some of the Hellsing characters were drawn slightly differently in Ultimate, I’m seeing BSD fans talk about how they ever so slightly tweaked this one panel from the manga.

Babygirl, they added a whole two and a half seasons of non-canon wacko nonsense. They added a naked dog-man. They spoiled a major plot twist of the manga. They took a hacksaw to like three whole characters personalities. They added the Alice in Wonderland OVA.

#black butler #kuroshitsuji #LOOK at what they did to sebastian grell and lizzie #LOOK #the hellsing OVA fucks #bsd is one ld the best anime ive ever seen #you know nothing of the depths anime adaptations can descend to #death note fans are chill though #theyre like oh yeah they kind of changed lights character #and they did compress the last half of the series like a jpeg #but the soundtrack slaps and they made it 50% gayer #so a net positive

Just- the language they are using to describe House and Wilson is incredibly intimate.

It's so irritating when people say "they're just friends" as if they want to dismiss the closeness of this relationship. Like, yeah, they are friends. They are best friends. They are the only long standing relationship that either of them have ever maintained. They are best friends and they love each other so much they would literally rather die than live without each other.

They are best friends and they love each other so much that they are in love while still being friends. There is no "just" friends because their friendship is everything to them. To deny that is to ignore the show itself. It's House's Head and Wilson's Heart for a reason.

They are best friends. They are in love. Those do not need to mean two different things.

It's House and Wilson or there is no show.

#actally makes this one of the best sherlock holmes adaptations ever maybe??? #cause thats holmes and watson right there #fuck im crying #i love this show #house md #hilson #gregory house #james wilson #cheezythoughts

Anne was tenderness itself, and she had the full worth of it in Captain Wentworth’s affection. His profession was all that could ever make her friends wish that tenderness less, the dread of a future war all that could dim her sunshine. She gloried in being a sailor’s wife, but she must pay the tax of quick alarm for belonging to that profession which is, if possible, more distinguished in its domestic virtues than in its national importance.

*crying*

#uquiz #the iliad #the odyssey #this is super good pls do it #i just dont have any better tags #also watch troy: fall of a city #its the best of the inevitably bad adaptations #i could go on about the importance of the Iliad to modern understanding of history anthropology and historiography for ages #but i wont do that to yall so in the meantime ship patrochilles #and remember that achilles is a bottom #but most importantly helen didnt deserve this shit

Not to be dramatic but Jonathan Stroud's letter announcing Lockwood and Co's cancelation literally broke me.

Like "Portland Row is always open for business"? "Drop by any time"? "It's your home too, after all"?

HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO BE OKAY AFTER THIS

#lockwood and co #books #fiction #jonathan stroud #renew lockwood and co #lockwood and co season 2 #lockwood and co series #lockwood and co tv show #lockwood and co netflix #l&co netflix #netflix #35 portland row #cameron chapman #ruby stokes #it's literally one of the best book adaptations I've seen in recent times #netflix you're an ass for cancelling it #ali hadji heshmati

I've been watching the adventures of tintin 1991 with my sister and were watching the blue lotus part 2 and when Chang showed up I literally sat up in my chair and pointed at the screen like he was a famous actor. He has entered my brain forever, and I have you to thank for it.

for a character that popped up for only two adventures he left quite an impact on me too. I can imagine he'd make quite an impression when staying over in Belgium and making some appearances in the paper!

my sister was studying the opium trade and its links with colonialism so we were watching the 1991 cartoon episodes for The Blue Lotus and The Crab with the Golden Claws. I remember a) cringing every time Mitsuhirato appeared b) cringing at the voice they decided to give Chang and c) my sister turning around and looking at me every time a Chinese Musical Sting™ would play (we're Chinese)

#asks #fanart #animation #2d animation #tintin #adventures of tintin #chang #snowy #milou #gif #gifset #idk how but the 1991 animated blue lotus somehow felt more racist than the original comic???? #they changed chang's design but for some reason kept mitsuhirato exactly the same????? #if they changed chang's design for no reason why not fix a racist caricature??? #why did they make chang's voice like that #they kept the same voice in tibet even though he's visibly older????? #he looks as old as tintin but tintin sounds like a man and chang sounds like a little kid???? #if they wanted him to be younger why not change his tibet design? #tbh i dont like any of the voices in the 1991 show other than calculus but calculus is always the best part of any tintin adaptation #i liked the voice cast in the bbc radio play adaptation of tintin in tibet #rant over sorry lol #racism cw
