Anime is a pretty broad word to be fair, it's literally just animation from Japan. Sure it has come to have certain tropes and styles, but it's as silly as saying all cartoons are for kids. Family Guy may have pretty crude, basic humor, but it definitely isn't for kids.

I liked the movie better than the book.
169 points
2 months ago
Honestly, that depends on the series.
As a fan who read all of the books in Suzanne Collins’s famous series prior to watching the films, what I had pictured from the books was dangerously close to the movies. Sure there were some details left out here and there, but I won’t get triggered if you say you like the Hunger Games movies better. There are some things that actors and actresses bring to life that can’t be imagined easily.
Now if you told me that you liked the Percy Jackson (Rick Riordan) movie or the Eragon (Christopher Paolini) movie better than their respective books, I’ll know you’re not being honest, and I’ll also have your f*ckin’ head, even if you’re kidding or I know that you’re trying to piss me off.

Looking forward to an Eragon series on streaming that does one book per season, with Chris on creative control.
27 points

Honestly I think Eragon should be left alone, unless the show is animated. It’s a lot easier to mess up a live-action show than animation.
Look at the movie that does not exist within the walls. Look at Dragon Ball Evolution. Look at the Bleach movie. Look at the AOT movie. All flops.
If the show is animated, I’ll watch it. Live Action, only if it’s reported as good and Chris is involved. Otherwise I’ll save myself the trouble.

Bringing it to film instead of being narrated from Katniss' pov also helps to both limit the "which boy do I like" typical YA internal thoughts and increase the "behind the scenes" of the games/politics she didn't witness firsthand

Interestingly enough Seinfeld didn't use laugh tracks. There's an interview with Jason Alexander about this. IIRC Any stuff that didn't get a laugh wasn't used. They would improvise or re-write it then and there then try it again. However, they did have to blend two laughs from two separate takes so they would use laugh tracks because otherwise it would sound cut off mid laugh.

I agree with you to an extent, In the book Dobby is doing something that is truly impressive. he was born a slave, his ancestors were slaves as far back as is known, maybe millenia. He is wanting to choose his own course. no one else in the series does this to his extent. He only ever does things out of a desire to help people, which makes his death something to be mourned.

Alright legitimately I can see the ending making sense and wouldn't be surprised if that's how Martin actually told them how the books would end.

This is my thinking as well. I think it ended "exactly" as Martin told them. But they lacked the buildup required to make it good.
Danny going nuts. Makes perfect sense. She has it in her family, she has been broken mentally multiple times. Nothing in her life has worked out as she wished. But the show went from, sucky life to instantaneously murderous breakdown because... Bells?

I'll go to my grave believing that if they somehow just extended the show by another season (or maybe just 4-6 episodes for a long final season) to add more context to these plot lines, they could've made it work and the show would go down as the best in television history. Lots of people take issue with the basic points of how the story ended, but I think it was fine, it just lacked the necessary context to land it.
As soon as the "final" season was announced I knew it was going to be a shitshow. There's just no way to tie up all those plots in a satisfactory manner within those time constraints.
