Don't they have that with Stranger Things, The Witcher, Squid Game, etc?

It’s called One Piece
It's called Cowboy Bebop
Netflix will just frick it up
The source material is already shit.
Anime/manga doesn't work in live action. At best you'll get a small cult following years later like with Speed Racer.
It doesn't work in western live action, I enjoyed some of Takeshi Miike's adaptations
Half the shit in One Piece is almost impossible to adapt to live-action.
It's also far too long to ever fully adapt, the anime gets away with it because it's just voice actors but imagine these actors 20+ years from now trying to still pass as their same age lol. Imagine the bog
Rebel Moon is supposed to be Netflix Star Wars. In terms of scale and impact they aim for.
oh yeah. already planning a whole universe before they even know if the first one is a hit.
Rebel Moon is going to be complete shit
>seething Zack haters
kek, every fricking thread
He's a terrible director, you seething Zak wienersucker
>REEEEEE STOP LIKING THINGS
You realize the Snyder Cut only "did well" due to Indian spambots, yes?
>still seething
Yeah that “grassroots minority” were indian spambots, what’s your point?
PLEASE DO THE NEEDFUL AND FRICK THE MOTHER b***h OFF, BANCHOD!
how are you going to decide if it's shit if it'll be out of focus the whole time? can't hate what you can't even see!
This, the synopsis is one of the worst I've seen in years.
>Zack Sneeder
good luck with that
shitflex is awful
Both those franchises had three good to great movies to start things off before turning to shit though. That doesn't seem like something Netflix will ever pull off, no matter the IP.
>we want our own lightning in a bottle and we're working very hard to build that.
Are they moronic?
Well, don't they have the TES series? Then again their mishandling of the witcher series doesn't bode well for them getting a TES show right.
>Hlaalu smacking his giant Black person lips talking about how he's ashamed of his people's racism and xenophobia
Idk might be baste to get a Black to say this
No. No kids toys etc., most of the parents wouldn't let young kids watch any of them. ST is closest but still probably too much horror.
Also, aren't they in fact focusing on averting bankruptcy?
why don't they just create a show called Wizard Wars then
What about hairy wars
Stranger Things LITERALLY is their version of Star Wars. In fact, Stranger Things is easily better than every part of Star Wars except the OT and a few other things
Could've been Dark Crystal but no, morons didn't watch it.
I like fantasy, anime, and all that but even I understand something like this had no mainstream chance. Most humans just want to watch humans. Monsterfrickers and furgays are still a minority.
Tons of people watched it - Netflix canceled it despite it's success. They claim because it was too expensive (ironic considering how much they're throwing at shows now), but I always felt it was personal. Someone high up at Netflix did it for personal or political reasons.
Hensen was ready to go for the next season, but Netflix just dropped them, out of the blue. Never made sense.
Probably refused to turn it in to leftist propaganda by order of the netflix higher ups so they pulled the plug.
>refused to turn it in to leftist propaganda
but it was leftist pro-immigration propaganda
Yeah, but was the MC trans or black?
I would agree that's a definite possibilty.
Having a desperate rebellion being beaton down mercilessly just wasn't going to roll during election year.
People did watch it, but Netflix cancelled it because "the puppets were too expensive to make" apparently, right after the show won some awards.
they're already doing Sandman, perfect way to introduce Tim HUnter
Army of the Dead already had a prequel movie and a sequel is coming.
why not try allowing an adaption that isn't altered to frick and to actually faithfully follow the beloved source material?
Hollywood has never been respectful to literature. They have always been arrogant and think they can improve on the source.
There are book series that would make insane shows, with the right budget. If you got an a director with the autism levels f Jackson, and WETA levels for CGI and props, the Oz books would make billions. They're public domain, too, so no family trust to pay off. But only if you stay true to the source. We got lucky with the Wizard of Oz as it is, if you read the books on the making of it, it was handed around like a Wiensten actress and had the most ridiculous scripts written for it, before going back to mostly the book.
But these days, I want Hollywood to keep their filthy hands off everything in the book world. God forbid they get their hands on Niven's stuff, after he kicks off, and his wife starts selling movie rights.
>Don't they have that with Stranger Things, The Witcher, Squid Game, etc?
OP, I'm sorry to inform you have brain damage. The only cure is to kys, fricking moron
Those shows are huge. What the frick?
still tiny compared to something like Harry potter or Star Wars. These franchises have games, toys, amusement parks, multiple televisions series', multiple movie spinoffs. Stranger Things is huge but comparing it to Star Wars in both size or cultural impact is laughable
Well, good luck when your first focus for every project is wokeness lmao
They should do what 4A games did with Metro and CDPR did with Witcher. Find a small author who is well loved in a niche audience and adapt their work for normalgays. Only thing is they will ruin it anyway but whatever.
evil can not create
and you can? what can you create that isn't a mix of something already existing?
I created something completely innovative and I can't translate it into English without losing a huge amount of its 'essence'.
Also why do they push several shows so hard? I've been sleeping on Last Kingdom and it's more than decent but Netflix would rather show me trailers for Bridgerton 50 times after I obviously a/ saw them and b/ decided not to watch that garbage.
Sadly and incontrovertibly true. Sandman is dead in the water.
Pic related is from Netflix's website. Even One Piece has better casting.
One Piece has great casting apart from Nami's sister
I agree. It's surprisingly good.
I'm okay with that.
But let's be honest - they will never come close to finish it and sfx will look horrible.
Yeah, same here. I just don't think OP was a good choice of anime to adapt. I also heard that the people that worked on Netflix's Cowboy Bebop are involved.
> Usop not a israelite
He's literally Brazilian
Luffy is Brazilian, Usopp is African
>first woman is black
>using pronouns
Oh God, it's over before it begun.
>one actor is a mentally ill freak so they have to use pronouns for all
it's just like real life
Stranger Things is their Harry Potter.
Rebel Moon will be their Star Wars.
Jupiter's Legacy was supposed to be their MCU but it shit the bed. They missed out of Invincible so I'd say they should nail down Hellboy if they can. The BPRD could be their MCU easy.
>Rebel Moon will be their Star Wars.
Sure thing Snyderbot
>Stranger Things is their Harry Potter.
lol they wish.
>Rebel Moon will be their Star Wars.
lmao
>Jupiter's Legacy was supposed to be their MCU
LMFAO
>netflix version of star wars
Isn't that what Rebel Moon is supposed to be?
2 more weeks
I see you are a man of culture as well. The sandman is going to be cool regardless of the diversity thing.
I think they mean a movie series targeted to that audience. Thas seems to have been the intention with Enola Holmes but i wouldn´t bet on that horse. Honestly i can think of very few IPs as big as HP/SW and none that i would like to see adapted by Netflix.
none of those even come close to the size of harry potter or star wars
they could have cast any other character black and gotten away with it. like destruction or destiny or some shit. no, they had to pick our big titty goth pixie girl. they deserve to fail.
Not only that but they didn't even bother to make the face tattoo or to give her the right earrings. For them, the fact that she's black is more than enough.
Netflix has turned into the Vice News headline generator
Death and all of the endless have many forms.
>can be anything you want
>chooses to be an ugly sheboon
She's not ugly. You're just a virgin that can only get off to cartoon ladyboys.
White cute pixie girl is the form used for 99.9% of the comic, it's the most iconic design the comic has.
You're arguing with a troll, it's a waste of your time
good luck, lol. people don't know how to write stories anymore, how to exercise imagination, everyone's brain is cooked from social media/the culture war. you're not going to get any new star wars-tier legendary media unless some great writer wakes up from a 20 year coma.
The greatest movie ever written could be sitting on a script somewhere in the trash because it doesn’t check all the progressive boxes.
There are amazing scripts floating around Hollywood unmade for various reasons for decades. It's a fricked up town.
You need creativity to accomplish that and race-swapping characters in other people's works is the complete opposite of that, but that's all they're really capable of.
>Don't they have that with Stranger Things, The Witcher, Squid Game, etc?
I think they mean a potential movie franchise that has the ability to branch off into it's own continuity and lore and by having their own expanded universe. I'm sure they could do that with the TV shows you mentioned but I don't think those shows were built for something like that. And the Witcher isn't really their own property..
But the problem is I don't think it's really up to them if they want the next Star Wars or Harry Potter the fans make that happen.
>Don't they have that with Stranger Things, The Witcher, Squid Game, etc?
Witcher and Squid game are already entirely forgotten, they are disposable trash with zero staying power.
Stranger Things completely shit the bed after season 1.
Netflix have no idea what they are doing long term.
Isn’t that Stranger Things?
They want something which has extensive lore with the potential of millions of spin offs. Stranger things is set in the real world so there's not much potential for that. The only difference is you have demons effecting your main characters. With star wars you literally have tens of thousands of years worth of lore you can work on. Same for LOTR and GOT. Even with books set in the real world, there's enough content potentially there for decades of films and TV shows like with Harry Potter you have the entire wizardry world or with Percy Jackson you have the whole olympus thing going on. DC and marvel have hundreds of thousands of comics to pick from. There really isn't many of these types of stories left that haven't already been taken by a competitor. Now do you really think netflix has the potential to make anything near what they want? They're only good at singular unique stories and don't have the creative potential for this. We're talking about the most successful stories out of the tens of thousands of failures that tried do the same thing in the past century. Sure it's possible but they'll probably have a lot of flops to go through before an eventual W.
What does that even mean? Hugely profitable?
Dave Chappelle Hates Trannies Cinematic Universe incoming
>AHHHHH ARE STOCKS ARE PLUMMETING!!!
>SHIT OUT SOME STAR WARS AND HARRY POTTER RIP OFFS NOW
Sad.
>Don't they have that with Stranger Things, The Witcher, Squid Game, etc?
Well they did make some Witcher spinoffs already, the problem is they're fricking garbage. Netflix produces almost nothing but shit and hires almost nothing but hacks (like the old hag they gave Witcher to for some fricking reason). All their shows are pozzed. They lack the capacity to make something that is actually good, cool, interesting, and creatively uncompromised the way they produce shit now.
this, they also wanted gray man to be their own jason bourne franchise but the inept people at netflix hired the russo brothers
Another issue with the Witcher is a lot of people expected the Witcher 3 game on screen - but they can't touch any of that. So they had to start over, in terms of costumes, props, etc. And they put the least amount of effort into it that they could.
I noped out before it even premiered, because of the casting, but the few scenes I've seen, they didn't even try.
The real money maker with a HP or Star Wars is the merch. So they want to create a big franchise that they can then release a lot of merch and toys for and makes billion off off.
Why the FRICK would you destroy the look of the most iconic character?
They don't care about that. All it matters is to pander to the diversity crowd.
What I don't get is why the suits haven't decided to just clean the slate and rebuild from the ground up.
Because that would scatter the remaining shareholders. A move like that means the company is done for. You don't just "start over" with a company like that.
But there clearly needs to be some sort of shake up, because it keeps getting worse.
The setting stranger things could have told stories of different group of children encountering paranormal shit happening on that town then just call it universe. But no they had to reuse the same cast and make one boy gay hahaha morons
Like Dark Crystal? a shame for that
I think they mean an original IP.
st is the closest they'll get. why are they still focusing on this when they're trying to cut costs
That money was spent years ago. Productions like that aren't paid for when they're in production, that money was cleared before any work was done.
Stranger Things is their Star Wars.
Be netflix lauch a billion new ip in hope soem of them get big,they all crash and burn ,now other streaming service have up and their stock is down 75%...
>be netflix
>order 1000 original shows
>about 12 of them are actually good
>cancel them anyway
I would not be surprised if they cancelled stranger thing and ordered 100 new reality shows.
lmao they're so desperate. Hopefully, Microsoft can save them.
It’s Black personosa not Black personosah
Easier said then done when they keep failing, they can't even get their own version of the Boys with Jupiters legacy, let alone fricking Star Wars
>Don't they have that with Stranger Things, The Witcher, Squid Game, etc?
no, they're moronic, they want it to literally be about wizards or space, or be from a kids book series, just like all the failed knockoffs.
this is because they want the security of a tried-and-proven method. this safety will frick them as it has been doing.
>this is because they want the security of a tried-and-proven method
Step one of the tried and proven method is "main cast is all white and attractive" which is clearly a massive hurdle for them.
LOL Shitflix wishes it had anything close to HP. Stranger Things and Cobra Kai are arguably their most highly rated IPs for now, and they're not even close to HP/SW level.
The rest of their original shows are fricking pozzed beyond belief and will never come close to Stranger Things' and Cobra Kai's success. They can't help woking the shit out of everything else they make.
>and they're not even close to HP/SW level
WB killed off HP with those awful Fantastic Beasts movies no one asked for.
Disney completely butchered Star Wars entirely.
I'm not surprised something as milquetoast as either Cobra Kai or Stranger Things have become popular. The bar of quality is phenomenally low these days.
I'd say HP is still massive, it's the SW/LOTR of gen Z.
I do agree it took a hit with these piece of shit Beast movies, but SW and LOTR are both getting railed so much harder ("You have not seen... what I've seen"). I don't even know why israeliteflix would bother to emulate SW at this point.
tbh they had Cowboy Bebop on their hands to build a whole fricking universe around it eventually, but they just couldn't fricking resist, as I already stated. It could've been massive given time.
Same thing with Witcher, but of course, of course. Let's turn that intersectional feminism up to mother fricking 11 in a franchise targeting (teenage) boys and manchildren. Let's piss off all the existing fans we paid for by acquiring the IP as well while we're at it.
Crapflix will never achieve anything greater than Stranger Things until they completely ditch their garbage "the mEsSaGe is more important than entertainment" mentality.
>I'd say HP is still massive, it's the SW/LOTR of gen Z.
HP movies, since half-blood prince, have been even worse than the disney star wars ones.
do they actually make money? do people think about the franchise fondly? man, that's a testament to the power of trademarks if I've ever seen one
They will never have their own Harry Potter or Star Wars.
Because that would require Netflix to pander to straight white males, which they can’t do.
Literally couldn’t they just explore the psychic bs in Stranger Things with a million spin offs? Couldn’t they make a lot more dimensions?
The problem is not enough sex/sex appeal
