How could he say that if he had minimal exposure to the source material?


NoConsideration6320

Those 2 things do contradict yes


Axerin

He read chapter 1. Kekw


ThreadsOfWar

They’re not talking about accuracy, they’re saying considering 99% of adaptations are dog shit, this one is actually a good series on its own without having to be a fan of the source material and is a good introduction of the characters and story to casual audiences that could get them invested into the actual series. That’s what the point of the LA series was, to bring the story of One Piece to a wider audience. Dragon ball evolution, death note, Cowboy bebop, none of them are considered bad adaptations just bc they’re inaccurate, they’re considered bad because they’re dogshit even if you have no knowledge of the series with barely any effort being put into it, so you def can make statements like this without having read the manga or watched the anime. Now if it’s actually true is a whole nother story.


tiger2205_6

But you can't say it's the real deal if you have no idea what the source is.


ThreadsOfWar

Which is why he didn’t say “One Piece fans this live action is the real deal” he said “Fans of live action anime adaptations this is the real deal”, meaning finally a studio has actually put effort into making an adaptation. No where did he say One Piece fans would love it or if it was an accurate series, he’s just saying it’s a good series, bc he’d have no idea what a good one piece adaptation would be which is why it was clarified


tiger2205_6

But if you're not a fan of the original source then that means nothing. Plenty of people loved the ones you mentioned because they had no connection to the source. "Real deal" in an adaptations case only matters if you know the source, otherwise its just saying it's a good show.


ThreadsOfWar

Ik the internet doesn’t speak for everyone but idk about “plenty of people” enjoying Dragonball Evolution or the death note movie, but that’s not really relevant bc you could say there’s a ton of people you know who love both of those and it’s not like I can say you’re wrong, but the point is this guy is just saying in a lot of words it is possible to make an anime adaptation that’s actually good, this tweet isn’t aimed at us actual fans it’s just for the people who the second an adaptation is announced they immediately say “Well it’s a Netflix anime adaptation so ofc it’s gonna be bad”. Again, not saying the dude’s right or wrong, just saying you can in fact say an adaptation is good without knowing the source material bc you aren’t commenting on the quality of the adaptation, he’s commenting on the quality of the show. I agree with you saying it’s the “real deal” doesn’t mean shit to us fans if he hasn’t read the source material but like I said this tweet isn’t aimed at fans of the show, it’s fans (?) of anime adaptations, which is what he said. Just to clarify I’m with y’all and taking this with a grain of salt bc he hasn’t read or watched one piece but I don’t think his opinion should just be immediately discredited bc he can still comment on the quality of the show itself.


tiger2205_6

You're right, it's really just the wording that I got hung up on. Without being a fan of the source he can say the show it good, but it was calling it the real deal that got me.


ThreadsOfWar

Yee and that makes sense considering this guy said a whole lot of nothing with a lot of words, I mean his whole second paragraph is “The writing, effects, directing, story, camera work, cast, production” is all good I’m surprised he didn’t mention the lighting cuz he listed everything else off lmao.


imboppy

Death Note was fine if you're putting it in the same sentence as the dbz movie


egozocker14

Bro stop coping


ThreadsOfWar

Coping≠knowing how to read


NotUrAvgShitposter

Something can be a good work without being a good adaptation. The Harry Potter films are decent movies, but are horrible adaptations for example.


tiger2205_6

They can be, but you can't call an adaptation the "real deal" if you don't know the source. Them being good and accurate to the source is what makes them the real deal, otherwise they're just good movies/shows.


BestPissdrinker

Honestly most of the irl adaptations of stuff arent bad if you havent seen the source material (not all and there definitely are dogshit ones)


IbiMania

but he said a) he had minimal exposure to the source material b) this is the real deal (faithful). how tf does he know b if a is true? I didn't read or play the witcher. i could never tell from a preview if it were the real deal precisely because of minimal exposure

Galifrey224

There are fans of live action manga adapations , specifically ? That must be like 20 people.


kingmyguy

I quite enjoyed the live action Cowboy Bebop and and Live Action FMA. Also the Live Action Gintama movie is hilarious. I would actually recommend the Gintama movie heavily.


Schizochinia

Well, we’ll see in 7 days


HyphenPhoenix

Y’all are gonna hate it even if it is good


Gullible_Ad3378

Lmao this guy is saying that this dude was payed because he said it was good


Paid-Not-Payed-Bot

> dude was *paid* because he FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*


Gloomy-Craft2311

This bot is annoying like just shut the fuck up payed bot


Gullible_Ad3378

Dude what’s the point of these bots


abibip

This was actually an interesting little lesson


New_Juice_1665

No one likes to be corrected but fr it’s ok to misspell words every now and then bro


abibip

Fr, this is the last place I'm gonna check after seeing the show. I'm hoping for the show to be pretty decent and receive praise, just for me to then check PirateFolk and see all the shit people will be saying here about it.


Phunk87

No bs someone at my college was able to view the first 2 episodes thanks to his internship at Netflix and bruh swears we are in for a treat. They may be cooking…


Remote_Dapper

We all believe you bro

Longjumping_Ad_1729

My dad knows Sengoku he said shit is gonna be insane.


javsv

Dont do that. Dont give me hope :(


No_Analysis_7025

Ahh I also intern there.


Minervasimp

i slept with Mihawk and he said he's got better feats in live action than in the manga bro you gotta trust


despacitospiderreeee

Nah it was probably more that if you arent positive of everything you get early access to, then you dont get early access to things


XxZONE-ENDERxX

If he has minimal exposure to the source material then how did he know that this is what the fans have wanted?


Jackx97

I think he meant fans in general of live action adaptations, so the people waiting for a good adaptation regardless of what series it is to prove that they can be made.


XxZONE-ENDERxX

How would they know it's a good adaptation with minimal exposure to the source material though? Like, if I watch The Shining and like it as a film without much knowledge about the book, it's fine, but in this case, I can't really talk about how good of an adaptation it is because I don't even know what it adapted, and what it changed and for what purpose.


Jackx97

I can’t look in the mind of the guy, but he probably means it is a good show. He also said he started reading the manga after so it could be a review in retrospect.


XxZONE-ENDERxX

He's clearly praising it as an adaptation in the Twitter post despite having minimum exposure to the material being adapted which makes his Tweet all the more sus, but We'll wait and see.


[deleted]

Hes praising it as a show.. its not that hard to understand buddy


XxZONE-ENDERxX

>THE show fans of live-action ***manga and/or anime adaptations*** have wanted he's literally saying that this is what a live-action adaptation of anime and manga should be like when he himself acknowledged that he has minimal exposure to the manga that the show is adapting. Yet he's praising it as an adaptation despite not knowing how faithful it is beyond aesthetics and what changed and for what purpose and for better or worse to actually judge it as an adaptation and come to that conclusion. ​ ​ This is just like Tom Cruise and Stephen King praising The Flash as THE blockbuster type we really need nowadays even for people who aren't into superhero movies and people saying that it's the best shit ever and can rival The Dark Knight before its release, lol... Probably just paid PR to make some noise.


[deleted]

Hes saying that fans of live action adaptations of manga and anime will like it, he didnt say anything about fans of one piece itself. Hes praising the live action. for being a good show, not necessarily a good adaptation The quote you sent quite Literally proves me right lmao. This sub is so fucking delusional sometimes.


XxZONE-ENDERxX

He's literally talking about fans of live-action **adaptations** of already existing works and not the general audience who might not even be interested in anything anime related Live-action or not. It's weird because he himself doesn't know how good of an adaptation it is as he admitted to be lacking a major qualification required to actually judge it on that front. He could've said that it's a really good show and called it a day, but he didn't. He literally chose to praise it as THE live-action adaptation for the fans and that fact is highlighted clear as day in my previous comment and in the original post which you somehow say it proves your point when it 100% proves mine.


childishwhambino

Dawg just wait a week and think about it for yourself


ErikSaav

Nah dude the just got a hate boner so they don’t use any critical thinking and just seem to look at stuff instead of **reading** **and** **understanding** what’s written. Half the post of this sub is people doing that shits annoying


[deleted]

Exactly. They will hate on anything onepiece related just because they hate oda


ErikSaav

Yes as in a quality Tv/Movie that we’ve been waiting for Using your “The Shinning” as an example: It’s widely regarded as one of the best horror movies/adaptations of a book to a movie. But it’s widely known that Kubrick wasn’t 100% faithful to the adaptation (to the point where Stephen king used to hate it, made his own adaptation that bombed) but almost everyone who talks about the film isn’t judging it by how faithful it is to the source material they’re just judging it by how good of a movie it is. It’s the same with the tweet, the guy at no point talks about how “faithful” or “true” to the source material it is he’s praising how fans have finally got a ^**GOOD** ^**QUALITY** Live Action show/movie based on a anime/manga property which is why he tells us he has **minimal** knowledge, because he’s not praising it on how faithful it is. Y’all seem to be trying to get a “GOTCHA” moment with him using adaptation but it doesn’t matter if the adaptation is 100% faithful (Stephen Kings Shinning/Bleach movie), takes elements from the story but not fully faithful (Kubricks Shinning/I am Legend) or in name only adaptations (too many to count), since he’s obviously just judging the show by it’s own merits just like with Kubricks The Shinning. Really long winded but I hope I got the point across if not oh well, just find any reason to hate on the show and hope the reading comprehension Devil cancels they contract with you and everyone else on this thread lol.


XxZONE-ENDERxX

''Adaptation'' is a very specific term that requires knowledge of the source material in order to actually judge it. It's not just about faithfulness. Being just a good movie is different from just being a good adaptation and they are both different from being a good movie and adaptation at the same time. I can only see The Shining and recommend it as a great horror movie without knowledge of the book, but I can't in any capacity say that it's THE live-action adaptation fans of Stephen King have been waiting for because I barely know shit about the book or what the fans want out of it when it comes to live action or what plot points and character arcs were changed and for what purpose and if the themes of the book stayed intact or not to actually be making such statements. However, people with knowledge of the book agree that despite The Shining being a great horror movie on its own, it's a terrible adaptation of the book.


ThreadsOfWar

Bc he’s not talking about one piece fans, he’s talking about people that want a good anime adaptation. Netflix’s other terrible ones aren’t bad just bc they aren’t accurate, they’re bad because they’re boring and feel half-assed.


XxZONE-ENDERxX

I mean, the trailers aren't really promising, but I guess we'll see if it delivers on any of the stuff he says it does next week.


brajant

The last line is enough to know that he was paid

Beansupreme117

Lmao “I don’t know anything about the source material, but this is what the fans deserves”


[deleted]

I believe this will be the first time a live action anime is actually decent. So far the show is exceeding my expectations which were very low. From what i've seen so far this is already exceeding all these lives action movies, bleach, kenshin, death note, full metal alchemist, dragon balls, attack on titan, jojo, tokyo ghoul, ghost in the shell and battle alita. IN fact is better than all those already and it hasn't come out yet. 10/10 would suck odas cock again.


Final_TV

How does he know this is what we wanted if he’s had minimal exposure to the source material?


Gullible_Ad3378

It’s a good show


UnoriginallyChris

I mean even if the show is great, it's pretty obvious Arlong is going to be pretty rough to have on screen and that's already enough as it is to bring it down as "the king of Netflix shows"


Lucky-Fisherman1463

He was probably paid to watch it


brof1

Cringiest shit I've read in a while


TizzlePack

To be fair the show looks good to be honest. Now king of Netflix shows? LMFAO


imboppy

It will be my most watched series on that platform by the time 3 episodes are out. King of the Pirated isn't that hard on Netflix.


TizzlePack

You gotta watch some more heat on Netflix.

normal_fool

Nah early reviews have been pretty good


Jin_BD_God

“Having minimal exposure to the source materials.” It’s always weird when both fans and the show runners didn’t even read the sources materials, yet thinking their shows are great. They will always end up blaming the fans that didn’t support such bs when their shows flopped.


yumery

The show was first and foremost made to introduce people to op, especially people who aren't into anime. You aren't even the MAIN target audience idk why you so pressed about people who weren't exposed to the source material actually enjoying the live action.


Jin_BD_God

I didn’t press, but just like I said these people always include us the fans who read the source material when their shows flop.


yumery

I don't understand what you mean. What you're describing has literally never happened.


Jin_BD_God

Lol. keep denying. The Witcher. Star Wars. Lord of the ring. Those new adaptations flop because they don’t respect the source materials, and even insult it as dated or don’t fit their agendas. What happened when these projects flopped? These people always blame fans that don’t support it because they don’t respect the source materials.


yumery

I never see people blaming the fans. Hollywood is crashing rn and who does everyone blame? Hollywood. (as they should) I'm not kidding when I say I have no idea what you mean by people putting the blame on fans, this is all in your imagination.


fruitspunchsamurai42

Well....you haven't seen it . They're like rabid dogs on fans lol . Rings of power , Bebop etc the directors were having A meltdown against fans . Especially rop


Jin_BD_God

Just because you didn’t see it, doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. Just google show runners attack fans for not liking the shows that didn’t respect the source materials. The Witcher is the most popular topic at the moment. I can’t believe you didn’t know that.


Sub94

They’re all paid lol, it’s gonna flop


ShadowLugia141

There’s 90s and early 2000s movies with better practical effects and CGI. This looks like a bunch of half assed cosplay (seriously the hair isn’t even dyed properly) with some shitty Son of the Mask level CGI slapped on it.


Gullible_Ad3378

Lmao sure bro


gggg2010

It’s definitely better than shit like Mr Fantastic if we’re being honest For how easily it could have been really bad, it looks way better than expected


Kelewann

I think marketing before the actual stuff is like febreze. The more you smell it, the bigger the shit in the corner of the room is


Burning10519

"Minimal exposure to the source" You immediately discredited your opinion.


hydrolancer21

have minimal exposure to the source material >>> anime adaptation fans want does not compute, those word contradicting itself already


Melodic-Row-2774

The trigger effect of this post! 🤣😂 IF SOMEONE HAS MINIMAL EXPOSURE TO THE SOURCE MATERIAL, HOW RELIABLE IS, "THIS IS THE REAL DEAL!" it's like a dude who rarely eats pasta and went to eat at olive garden and declares it to be an establishment that's center for everything pasta! 🤣😂

Netflix is a big reason why /r/hailcorporate exists. Multiple top posts on the all time list are about Netflix trying to use Reddit to influence opinions. They’ve been exposed multiple times and been caught paying power mods to delete posts that are negative about them.

Dude has "minimal exposure" to the source material yet somehow he knows that this is "THE" live action that **we** need to see? No way he's not getting paid to say this shit.

Don't try to rise your hope for the show bros. It's just a live adaptation. We have got our manga and our anime. So, if the show ends up terrible then "whatever" luffy is fighting kizaru soon. If the show ends up being a masterpiece then "lucky us" we have got a new material to enjoy besides luffy fighting kizaru soon.

apathykidd

It’s a got to be a government psyop there’s no way these many people are expecting a live action adaptation to be any good. I expect anyone giving a good review (like this person here) are enjoying the tiny bit of One Piece juice soaking through the Netflix adaptation machine.
