A bit too “powerful”.

I think Archie had a better idea of what Sonic is or was than Sega. In fact, considering some of my favorite moments for the character of Sonic come from the comics, I think that is telling enough.

This is painful for me. SatAM Sonic (the cartoon referenced in the article) and the comic series defined my childhood. More than just an extension of the games for me (which were the first video games that got me interested in the medium), the comics were a world where things were not always bright and sunny, but…

Honestly IDW is the one company i have total faith in when it comes to taking Sonic’s reins. They’ve handled Transformers masterfully. James Robert’s More Than Meets the Eyes has done more for Transformers in less than ten years than every other Transformers comic combined. They’ve shown the ability to handle serious,…

Yes. You explained it perfectly. Archie expanded the universe and made the comic mature. Seeing Sonic cry in despair, having hard choices (i.e. leaving Sonic’s dad as a robot to save his life while everyone is turned back to normal), and giving character to copies (i.e. evil Sonic turning to Scourge the Hedgehog).…

To be honest the Sonic comic WERE the best thing about sonic growing up, since the games progressively got worse. I started very early on, within the first 10 issues, and love the comic mostly all the way through, although I quit at issue 250 because frankly I hate pseudo reboots and I get enough of them in DC and…

Yeah, if I had to do an issue of Sonic, it would either be this idea or Tails drawing and retelling a recent adventure.

It was perhaps the best-written comic book I read as a kid. I’d put it on par wth most of what was going on in other series at the time.

... including the “ creepy furry fan “ who wrote that for you?

That’s another nail in Sonic’s coffin.

True. Another thing with a Japanese One Piece cast, if produced in Japan, would be that the acting. If a Japanese made One Piece had Caucasian actors, the acting would be awful since the Caucasian actors would likely has no acting experience and would be models, musicians, or English teachers; the English dubbed…

The fact that two live action movies (and pretty good ones, at that) have already been made kind of underscores how unnecessary the American remakes are, though. Whitewashing or none, they don’t really have a reason to exist.

I wished Death Note (Netflix) was based upon different characters in America wielding the Death Note. They should have made it a non-canonical side story rather than a reinterpretation.

Yes, just think of all the fantastic live-action anime adaptions that have come out of the west. Remember when Dragonball Evolution won fifty Oscars?

Rurouni Kenshin, Battle Royale, Yatterman and Nana. That’s 4 good to great live action Japanese adaptations. What’s Hollywood’s track record?

I don’t think you should feel sorry for mentioning race as One Piece focuses on a very diverse cast of characters and many of Oda’s inspirations are made up of different races. The manga is very openly about traveling and exploring, and hopefully the live action will show that with actors from a variety of…

It is. Its set the bar in terms of how to do live action and do it well. Some parts are changed to condense manga arcs but they’re done well. Watch all 3 movies: Rurouni Kenshin: The Beginning, Kyoto Inferno and The Legend Ends. Amazing fight choreography plus the main actors did their own fight scenes. Very little…

Rurouni Kenshin was supposed to be very good from what I’ve heard.

Hot off the high success and reverence of the live-action Death Note American adaptation! Oh, wait.
