TBD 17,274 April 21, 2020 Share April 21, 2020 https://variety.com/2020/film/news/sony-film-manga-one-punch-man-venom-writers-1234585282/#article-comments So the crew behind the work "Vemon" and "Jamanji" movie is planning to work on One Punch Man. Rosenberg and Pinkner both did great job on the action sequences and the comedy which is important for this anime. But Western adapting eastern cultural entertainment (anime) never seem to work out. (beside Ghost in shell) So that's the one part I'm worrying about. Another is "Americanized" it to the point it's shit. They also have to keep in mind this is taking place in Japan so majority of these characters are Asian. Genos and maybe King are not (maybe), but the rest are. I don't want to see them turning Saitama to some Caucasian. Or other character to different ethnicity , because dIVerSiTy. And knowing American are obsess with romance, I fear they will might just add some romance. idk, i think right now, I'm not sure this will turn out well at all. I rather have a Japaneses or an Asian who are familiar with eastern culture (anime) to do this movie and have SONY to do the production. Alita battle angel was popular and success but even I can tell it's "Americanized". What do you think? ♪ "I practice every day to find some clever lines to say, to make the meaning come through"♪ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Denim&Venöm 20,473 April 21, 2020 Subscriber Share April 21, 2020 Not just an issue of westernization. OPM is really a deconstruction and satire of the super hero genre. While it has plenty of action, the series follow more slice of life tropes. Most episodes are just Saitama trying to find purpose, better himself and deal with every day hassles, that are occasionally disrupted by super villians. All of that doesn't lend itself well to an action movie. The only way I can see this working is if you get someone like Steven Chao on board. His wacky, over the top, martial arts films will lend itself well to what one punch man is going for. Heck, Kung Fu Hussle can draw a few paralleles with OPM in that it's a bunch of over powered characters trying to live normal, fulfilling lives whose interactions happen to be chalk filled with dead pan, satiric comedy. Or perhaps the guys behind Deadpool. They know how to get humor across in a super hero satire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good point too, the satire needs to work otherwise, the whole movie will be just another typical marvel hero movie. ♪ "I practice every day to find some clever lines to say, to make the meaning come through"♪ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiceVillains 244 April 22, 2020 Share April 22, 2020 Its possibly going to be atrocious lol. Live Action Anime tends to do poorly in the west. What evidence could be for a god? Because, if god can do anything, surely a lesser being relative to god, could still trick humans without fail if they wanted to. Which means, a being that appears to be god, may not be god. So even if god showed up in person doing anything and everything, for all you know it could be a demon casting illusions or your brain plugged into the matrix. Just because it claims to be a god, does not mean it is. Thus, there is never evidence enough for a god. Which means you cannot have an accurate reason for believing in god.
