Taika's directing Akira. Thoughts?
I unironically think Snyder would have been a good choice.
Akira (2021)
Robert Johnson
Lincoln Sanders
I can't wait to see beautiful hand-drawn animation replaced by shitty cgi
Gavin Lee

Camden Foster
I can't wait for the out of place jokes.
Noah Lee

What is their obsession with live action? IT's going to look like shit.
Jace Robinson
I get the feeling Taika will treat it seriously. Directors who tend to be good at comedy tend to be great at horror and vice versa.
I think the make or break point of the film is who will be casted in the film.

>Snyder
fuck no, how many classics does that fuck get to ruin before he's permanently blacklisted?
Carson Morgan
Robert Gonzalez
>inb4 they put this fucking kid in the movie and the director is like HE HE DIS KID ACCENT FUNNY AND COOL and the whole world disagrees in unison
Julian Bennett
Which role is Taika going to play? The colonel? The doctor?
Cooper Sanders
i hope that people responsible for ideas like these are liquified
Charles Price
I've already heard it's set in Neo-Manhattan rather than Neo-Tokyo
Brandon Sanders
Taika Waititi is a great director but all of his movies are entirely the wrong tone for Akira
Carson Rogers
Well fuck.
Maybe it'll be like Bladerunner where Japan and Russian cultures kinda mixed together
Aaron Jones
It'll have 10 different directors before it actually gets finished
Jayden Morales
>tai-
no
Ryder Gonzalez
Based and correct
Alexander Howard
what if this was really a bait and switch to make a live action barkley shut up and jam gaiden flick

The whole point of watching anime is that it's not made by the contemporary film industry, which is complete shit. Them making a complete shit version of Akira is pointless.
Adrian Phillips
I'm so tired with being angry at big dumb hollywood adaptations. I would hope that we could all ignore it but when the big shiny trailer comes out, everyone will be predictably upset.
Christopher Thomas
Taika Cohen keeps getting such big jobs, why is that?
Sebastian Taylor
What is it about numales and live-action adaptations that gets them so excited?
Tyler Wright
If he goes a completely different direction than his comedy stuff then I don't have a problem. But if the idea is that he's going to make it like all his other stuff then this is a terrible choice.
Alexander Ross
Snyder and Taika are the worse option
Taika took a sad and tragic history of the Asgardians and turned it into a comedy
Who watches his people and his father dies and feels no pain
What the fuck?
And the miscast of Snyder and Taika?
Tessa Thompson, Gal Gadot, Ezra Miller
Imagine the disaster that will be the cast of Akira
These producers are not aware of the material they are adapting
It's the same as calling Woody Allen to make Bersek
Juan Jones
I don't like Akira. It's grimdark porn.
Josiah Ramirez
eh, the movies story isnt really that great and kind of a mess tbqh
the animation is amazing though but that's not going to translate into live action. Also no way this movie can be cheap if made faithfully, its going to bomb hard
Evan Ross
I can't wait to see Shotaroquada and his homies fukin up some white bois.
