If I were to speculate, the fact that Venom is aware of multiple universes prior to the events of NWH, may indicate that the symbotes are actually mutidimensional in origin, and that crossing universes is actual part of their makeup.

Which is fucking dumb, just as dumb as putting that scene in the end of Let there Be…

Japan doesn’t care about whitewashing because they live in a much moe homogenized country where they are the norm, and not in the US where they would be a discriminated-against minority. They aren’t really concerned about representation in Hollywood because that’s a foreign country and they are represented in the…

To be cancelled after one season is the most anime thing the adaptation could have done.

Keanu is part Chinese (I think 1/4 from his mothers side).

Weebs had nothing to do with killing this show. 99% of Netflix’s viewers have no idea there was an internet backlash to this show at all. What killed it was that no one watched it to the end. The first one or two episodes had very high viewership, but then the numbers dropped off sharply, with most viewers not…

In Japan, Bebop had some trouble getting noticed at first. When it first aired, the network aired only five episodes (not even in the correct order) and then cancelled it; not because of ratings (which were decent) because they thought it was too violent. A year later another network picked it up and aired all the…

To be fair, Keanu Reeves is more Asian than Scarlet Johansson.

According to the Hollywood Reporter’s article on this, they saw something like 74 million views initially. But then they saw a 59% drop in viewership. People lost interest and didn’t finish it. Match that with the critical response and you can infer it crashed and burned. You can’t blow a budget on a sci-fi show that…

I think it’s more of a “foreigners liked Cowboy Bebop more than us and even they made fun of this”.

People who hate animation is pretty dumb. My friend said he preferred live action because of how much work and thought goes into every shot and I pointed out that in older animation frames had to be literally drawn by hand and he was pretty stumped by that.

I think this person probably thinks westerners like these anime adaptations because we keep making them for some reason.

It was a huge hit in the west but in Japan it did not do as well and is not a household name. The reason for this is that it was on a network that the entirety of Japan does not get and it was played late at night.

I enjoyed it well enough, still have a couple episodes to finish.  Loved the anime and I think the live action did a pretty decent job, though John Cho who I like as an actor was WAY to old to play Spike.

I was in college in 1999-2001 and can confirm that that's around the time I noticed it exploding. For many of us, this was our first time experiencing adult Japanese animation. Like, there were still people back then who were huge into anime, but CB appealed to a much wider audience. For me and my ex gf, it was how we…

“Remake it with Keanu.”

I tired to show my mom the anime once, even connecting it to a show she was really into at the time, but she could have been less interested. Now, she started watching the live action unprompted of her own free will. Not everyone has the stomach for anime.

Now no one can say Moffat’s plots were overly complicated when Chibnall outdid him here by making this mess of an episode with so many plotholes and loose threads hanging in the end. I get COVID made production rush and shorten this series but if that’s the case they really could’ve done with taking out several…

My assorted musings:

I do love how our utterly ridiculous and constantly posturing villains this season go from having complete omniscient knowledge of the Doctor’s every thought and action and the ability to invade her mind, and track her through all of time and space at will (as well as all her associates, …

— a fitting end to Chibby’s garbage run

Okay, you win on this one. I’ve been frustrated with the unrelenting negativity the site has shown about this series of Doctor Who, which overall has been some of Chibnall’s best work on the show, but this conclusion was a predictable stinker.
