          Seriously, I liked the Netflix serie, it was pretty good, maybe too much julia/vicious compared to the anime, but characters, acting, VFX, fights/stunts, were pretty good.

            Overall I really enjoyed it as well. But I never went into it expecting it was going to be the original like a lot of others did. Most episodes were solid. The cast worked off each other very well. It’s clear there was a ton of love that went into the whole production.

            However, one of my biggest complaints was that Faye’s character leaned way too far into tomboyishnes.

            My other huge one was how much of a pussy they turned Vicious into. I appreciated the arc, but it turned HBO so fast. Making Julia the mastermind and turning Vicious into such a snivelling little prick was just bullshit.

            Then there was Ed…

              I didn’t enjoy watching the netflix series. It’s true on technical aspect, it’s well done. Where there missed the mark, in my opinion, is the atmosphere and the character development. This is why the original anime is beloved, there isn’t much action going on in the anime for today’s standard. But the atmosphere, world building, trying to understand this solar-system-wide “far west” society, what happen to earth and what the characters have been through in there troubled pasts. The anime gives you the right amounts of hints to tickle you curiosity and let yourself imagine possibilities, theories… In one word, the writing of the netflix live action lacks the depth the anime offered.

            I disagree. I stopped watching when Spike was scoped in on Vicious and didn’t kill him. Anime Spike would’ve never let Vicious go because this is how Spike reacted when someone mistook him for Vicious. You don’t get that pissed off unless you really hate someone with every fiber of your being. I had other issues with the live action as well but I’ve clearly wiped my memory of its existence. Only the Spike thing remains because it’s the reason I stopped watching.

          Live Action Cowboy Bebop was amazing, people just didn’t realize what it was supposed to be because Netflix was stupid and coy about it. It was never meant to be a 1:1 adaptation, it was meant to be an expansion of the anime into a whole ass franchise. The show had to lay the ground work and deliver enough of the anime to show promise and appeal to fans, but as far as I can tell it was always intended to diverge in a way that allowed more storytelling and development in Cowboy Bebop’s incredible and therefore tragically under-utilized universe.

          Also the casting for the main three was perfect.

    Barrett and Tears of the Kingdom Link don’t count because they have prosthetic right hands/arms.

    We need courses that teach males how to be men. Not the BS toxic stuff, but teach them how to be decent human beings in society.

      get a modular prosthetic where you can swap out the hand part with various extensions. With the right extensions, you’ll be better off than the ppl with natural arms.
