I don't see originals getting tarnished by shitty live action movies made in the West. Not in cases where the original is a Japanese anime and the adaptation is some shit Western movie. We've seen plenty of those and nothing was really tarnished. The only thing in your first paragraph I agree with is
>ruin the possibility of a proper sequel/remake using the same stories
But then again I don't think this is true when we're talking about an offshoot shitshow from netflix. If the producers made another anime based on it and it was shit, which can and do happen, then yes, the original tends to get tarnished because now it's a "series" and the "series" suck even though the "first one" was good. That do happen. I don't think anyone will consider CB a "series" now because there's some netflix show about it.
>In japan, you don't see remakes too often because it's considered an insult to the original creator.
Well that's just plain wrong. You do see it often, for starters. Every other season you see some IP making a return in another iteration or getting adapted. You constantly see movies being made based in other media, which is the case here. Second, I've been browsing 2ch for years I never quite saw "insult to the creator" being any prevalent in comparison to the West. I do see it very often in Western boards though, specially if the guy is dead. Then everybody goes for the spinning in his grave joke. I've seen people shitting on Doraemon movies a lot but don't quite remember a guy saying Mr. Fujimoto is spinning in his grave. Now that you mention that, this is in fact very common in the West. Every time some guy fucks up and make a shit movie based on a Lovecraft story people go for the "Glad Lovie is not alive to see this!". Hm, very interesting, thanks for bringing to my attention. Apparently we do love to respect the dead when you get to scorn some other guy doing it. Fucking pathetic.
>Sure the original is still there, but should a new comer watch the movie first, their image of the franchise as well as expectations will be set by the movie, and that's not even mentioning having the story spoiled for them. Even if they decide to watch the anime after watching the movie, the experience will already be ruined for them.
I don't get you guys, or rather, I get you but I just don't like what I see. If people start to get interested in anime you scorn them, call them names, go for the "fucking casuals" insult. Make fun of their tastes, make fan of their ignorance, play the elite tard all the way through. You revel on it. And then proceed to hope every company distributing anime in the West burn to ashes. Not you anon I quoted in particular but you, you know who you are. Then you get completely ignored and fans of the original start to adapt some series they like to other media in their own terms and suddenly you play the protector of the innocent, concerned about new fans leading astray. Unfortunely most of you (not you I'm quoting but you know, you) are hipocrites. Acting as if producers have to personaly consult you to sell their IP, demanding a reason for a piece of media to exist if you don't like it, scorning new fans if it makes you feel like elite or playing heroes concerned with new fans if it gets you the chance on shitting on something. IMO people who do that should learn some inhibition.
But yeah, it's probably going to be really bad. Good thing I don't have to watch it. Now, I'll just get out of the way to the thread can go back to its original intent. Best of luck to all of us.
