I liked the first season, but the choices leading to the new character dynamic between Niles and Dorothy make me worried about the writers and kept distracting me from the second half.
They weren't even directly related in the comic, I don't quite understand what spurred on that direction for the characters.
Is Legion really that good anon? The online discourse for it is very praising but I've been so burned out by X-men media that I just can't believe that anything worthwhile could come out of the Fox-men era.
I think Legion is generally better but just like Doom Patrol it really starts to fall off with the later seasons as it becomes more and more directionless.
I honestly agree. At a certain point him doting after Jane starts to come off as creepy and pathetic, after she's exhausted every possible means of telling him to fuck off in the TV series.
In the source material her and Cliff's relationship felt much more like that of peers, and they both needed each other for emotional support. But in the series they simultaneously lay the surrogate father thing on way too thick with Cliff, but also make Jane much less receptive to the relationship as a whole. So it just feels like the healthy thing would be for them to get some distance.
The first two seasons were unfathomable kino but then with season 3 and 4 it gets worse. It's not terrible but it got repetitive and lost a lot of it's steam as it went on. I don't think I could've taken another season. It ended just before diving off a cliff.
Good show but idk about adapted.
When I hear adapted I take it to mean "accurate to the source material" which I liked the Doom Patrol but it often wasn't.
Probably Sin City.
Lot of it is just straight pulled from the comics as best they could. Definitely most faithful adaptation I can think of.
I'm no Punisher expert but in tone at least Punisher Warzone seems pretty faithful adaptation. But for all I know the villains don't act like that in comic.
never read doom patrol but this show made me really interested in most of them. didnt care too much for the drama, most of it was irrelevant to the story they were telling and starting around season 3 i began skipping scenes involving rita+laura, cliff+jane, larry+rama, and cyborg+his brother.
sure, it made you more invested in the characters but it was nothing more than 5-10 minutes of them talking about why they're sad instead of doing stuff that made me wanna keep watching. do i really need a 5 minute scene of cyborg and his brother talking about why cyborg doesn't wanna be cyborg but his brother loved the symbolism of it?
other than that my only other complaint is how in the final season cliff and The Whale have the exact same story arc. >loses touch with daughter >tries to get better so he can reconnect with daughter >daughter comes and sees him and is upset with his condition >fraser then wishes for a deeper, more personal connection once they begin seeing each other more often >once he is capable of that connection and his daughter is accepting of it, he dies
>never read doom patrol but this show made me really interested in most of them
Do yourself a favor and go read Morrison's run, it's among the best thing the superhero genre has to offer and that's Morrison at his peak
I do recommend the experience of reading at least a couple of prior stories like the teams first appearance in the silver age's my greatest adventure and some other issues here and there just so you can catch a feeling for the main cast (Rita, Cliff, Valentina and Larry) and some of the main foes. After that you appreciate what Morrison did with the team so much more. They've always been a team of weird stuff but Morrison tuned that to 11 and with honestly some very impressive writing feats.
Gotham is up there for me. They somehow balanced the campiness, grittiness, madness, etc of cape comics.
But autists will just tard out that there's no Batman in it. It's a fucking Elseworlds, moron.
It also had betteracting and visuals than any mcu film. A top tier Joker and Penguin as well.
>But autists will just tard out that there's no Batman
He is through Bruce Wayne and that's the problem. The show would have been better without the Bruce and Selina stuff, and just be about GCPD.
Gotham has some nice elements but it's for the most part pure gutter trash. Kind of like how some seasons of the CW shows were fun but still mostly garbage.
The way they adapted the Sisterhood of Dada and Immortus was messy, but otherwise it was pretty good.

The only thing I've watched that compares is Legion.

It's good stuff. There are some points in seasons 2 and 3 where it drags a bit but it's a good time over all.
I think Legion is generally better but just like Doom Patrol it really starts to fall off with the later seasons as it becomes more and more directionless.
That´s not La gran aventura de Mortadelo y Filemón.
No. They made Cliff a total bitch.

Doesn't help that Jane is an aggressive asshole for most of the show.

Interesting take anon. I disagree with it but I'm curious on what would you call the best (accurately) adaptation of Cinemaphile media?
Probably Sin City.

Something like Dick Tracey or Sin City. American Splendor is pretty up there for me too.
No

pretty much yes, this and legion are some of the best cape shit out there.
Happy was pretty good aswell

No, it was shit. They never got to grow as people and superheroes cause then the show would get expensive. Dropped it after 3 seasons.
