If any of you go and watch the live action ghost in the shell movie then you are of the problem
Seriously Hollywood makes these things betting on people who like the work being adapted showing up no matter how they change it
So
Just don't go
Alright viral marketer, I won't go
When is this coming out anyway

>>143465502
Who cares?
>>143466630
It's irrelevant what Japanese people think about it.
I'll go.
>>143465402
Why not? I want to watch it.
>>143465402
>Paying for movies
This is /a/, we haven't payed for shit since the 1st volume of Watamote came out.
>>143466630
I think its more relevant to Japanese Americans than Japanese natives but whatever
I don't really care I just don't want anime to become the new capeshit
>>143468159
why?
it's gonna be ugly
>>143465402
Can't wait for the Lone Wolf and Cub movie remake. Same producer, I read.
>>143466630
No matter how many times you post that, it won't change the fact that they are not the target audience of this movie and Japanese ignorance of race relations in general makes their opinion worthless.
>>143465402
>>143468244
>>143468173
>>143468159
Just wait til someone rips it and we can all watch it together on hitbox or something.
>>143468244
Not him, but I'm curious. I'll judge it when I see it in on the big screen.
>>143465402
there's no way i'm not going. i fell for their ploy. i'm gonna go, i'm gonna pay for it and sadly i will probably like it.
>>143465402
Of course I'm going to fucking go. It's GitS on the big screen, it what fuck reality am I not going to go see that.
I'm actually interested in what they are doing with the story, because I've heard all kinds of shit about the laughing man.
That and it's because an online political issue, and I feel this always distorts perspective. I want to see it for myself, and make my own judgement on it.
>>143468441
>>143468459
Shill la shill
>>143468316
I think that's a fair compromise
>>143465402
Why would I leave my house other then to go to the food store, liquor store, and work?
>>143468459
>It's GitS on the big screen
No its not
It's something that uses the GitS name as a marketing ploy
Like dragonball evolution .
>>143469250
To go on a date with a qt
>>143468459
You sound like a massive normalfag
>>143465402
Since it's a anime adaptation I'll just torrent it like with regular anime :^)
>>143468459
>online political issue,
What?
>>143469472
I don't need to leave my cave to get thatanimepussy.
>>143468459
>I'm actually interested in what they are doing with the story
I can already tell you
They are dumbing it down to appeal to the lowest common denominator
If the movie stinks, just don't go.
I bet you "anti-hipster" contrarians will also go see the Astro Boy live action and say it's great
>>143468270
Internet opinions are much worthless, so yours is way down the list of worthiness.

>I don't really care I just don't want anime to become the new capeshit
Exactly this.
Honestly I'm afraid of anime becoming a global market and creators taking the opinions of whiny loud minorities of westerners into account when creating anime the same way Japanese game devs do. People not understanding the internet and thinking dumb "campaigns" to change something mean "this is what the audience wants" ruins fucking everything
>>143465402
I haven't gone to the movies in years, who am I going to go with? By myself?
Hiyao Miyazaki could've played Major and I still wouldn't have gone.
> Hollywood makes Asian protagonists white
> later makes those white protagonists, who were supposed to be asian, black
> starts pitting our waifus who haven't been made black with nigger lovers
It will happen, it's already begun
>>143470015
Kek.
So is this just the story of the GitS movie or are they going dragonball evolution in this bitch?
Haven't paid any attention to this
>>143468223
>I don't really care I just don't want anime to become the new capeshit
I really want animeshit to win over videogameshit
Imagine how much it would upset people.
>>143465402
I'm obviously not gonna watch it.
It's certain to be complete shit and here is why:
>Director: Rupert Sanders
Now, this Rupert Sanders has made amazing films such as:
>Snow White and the Huntsman
Oh wait, that's his only film, and it's genretrash for teenage girls.
So, did he do anything else?
Yes, he directed a video game trailer.
Also, apparently he fucked Kristen Steward.
This guy is certain to fuck up, there is no way someone like him could make a half decent film.
>Scarlet Johansson in an action role
This is recipe for disaster, because she can play a single role and that role doesn't involve her being competent or intelligent or serious.
>>143468459
purple hair a best
Why do people even like that bitch anyway? She's ugly as shit and can't act. It can't be her body since it isn't all that great by Hollywood standards.
If any of you make this stupid fucking thread every goddamn day then you are the problem nobody gives a fuck about this movie nobody is going to go see it fuck off
We don't care
>>>/v/
>>143471695
She's a rallying point for the progressive-liberal crowd.
>>143471695
This, she just doesn't look good, and she can't act to save her life either.
examples that directly influence this
>Black widow
>Lucy
She will play the exact same role with the exact same result.
>>143469951
I go to the movies by myself all the time, I actually enjoy it more than when I go with other people.
>>143472771
I dont go to theaters, but dont certain ones ban singles?
>>143469190
>shill
b8te
>>143469442
Eh, they've used to many GitS things for it to just be a skin.
>>143469484
You sound like a massive faggot.
>>143469551
Google 'scarlett johansson motoko' and you'll see
>>143469625
So Arise?
>>143470697
True.
>>143468223
>I don't really care I just don't want anime to become the new capeshit
Well, we don't have to be so negative.
The US and other countries have a long history of taking japanese stories and making it their own on a good enough manner.
>US took Seven Samurai and made The Magnificient Seven
>China took City Hunter and made a long running movie series that put Jackei Chan on the map
>Korea took Old Boy and made a movie that put Korean cinema on the map>Edge of Tomorrow was alright
So it might not be as bad as we think, hell it might even get some interest for the release of more niche titles in America and the rest of the world, I mean, it took such a long time for the Origin to get a proper release in the US and most Gundam series are basically lost forever, but if a Gundam movie is made, we might see more of it.
Also, I want to see it become the next capeshit so Marvel is punished for their X-man genocide and goes fucking bankrupt.
>>143474512
I don't think you belong here.
>>143465402
I am not going to watch it simply because they will butch the Making of Cyborg scene.
I don't give a fuck about Hollywood or whatever
>>143468223
>I don't really care I just don't want anime to become the new capeshit
It happened so many times and it always flopped or the boom just dies off.
I won't watch it because it will be a bad movie.
I mean, there's a possibility that this will be Real Steel where all the ingredients are terrible but come out ok, but I'm not holding my breath.
I work in the theater and I still won't fucking watch it. not even for free. I don't give a shit if it's ScarJo and MAYBE she can pull off a half-assed Motoko but my problem isn't that. My problem is
>Dreamworks
>directed by someone who knows fuck all about the franchise
>who also directed one fucking movie and that movie is Snow White and the Huntsman
>having the Laughing Man already
>dragging poor Beat Takeshi in this movie
How will this not flop?
I'm going to watch it. Fuck you
I watched Edge of Tomorrow and thought it was great. I will personally judge this movie too.
I'm not going to not see it because it doesn't have a Japanese chick as the MC.
>>143475243
It won't flop and you're retarded. Which explains your profession.
>>143475338
But it will flop. Western remakes of Asian shit always flop. It doesn't matter who you put at the helm. Also, what the fuck does my profession have to do with this?
>The Last Airbender
>Dragon Ball
>Old Boy
>>143475413
Edge of tomorrow and Godzilla both recent and both didn't flop.
>>143475413
The Host did moderately well didn't it given its release right?
>>143470306
I think it's supposed to be SAC 2nd Gig given that Kuze was supposed to be in.
>>143475413
Airbendsr isn't Japanese you dumb fuck it's not even Asian.
you think theyll try to shoehorn in memes?
>>143475467
That's because it had "decent" directors who did it. Edge of Tomorrow had Doug Liman from the Bourne Trilogy and Godzilla had Gareth who worked on Monsters. You have a director who made Snow White and the Huntsman, one fucking movie and zero credibility that makes me trust him. It's going to flop badly.
>>143475537
Avatar was obviously based on Asian shit and either way, the point still stands. making live action movies for cartoons or anime without any prior knowledge or direction will always flop. because they ALWAYS want to change a lot of shit making it pointless to adapt.
If it gets good reviews, I'll go see it. It will almost definitely suck, but I'm not such a hipster that I'd be opposed to a good adaption. If it's a success and Hollywood starts sinking money into my hobby, it could mean even better adaptions and I have no problem with that- the best western movies are much better than the best anime.
>>143475698
Avatar is not Asian no matter what it was based on.
Your point got debunked and you are moving goal post now.
How many good live action adaptations have there been?
>>143466630
Nobody gives two shits if the major is white outside of a fringe group of hypersensitive landwhales.
Scarlett Johansen is a fucking awful actress and the director has a garbage track record.
>>143468459
Somebody just bought some random generic sci fi/action script and decided to title it Ghost in he Shell.
>>143470612
Snow white and the huntsman was okay.
>>143475484
If they went that route then most likely instead of gook refugees they'll have some blacklivesmatter crap. No thanks; fuck that bullshit.
There aren't any Asian actors in Hollywood that can carry a move or has the name recognition as a Scarlett Johansen. The sad truth is Hollywood doesn't care about Asian actors.
The movie wouldn't have been greenlit unless they had a Scarlett Johansen attached to it. I mean look at the sad guy directing the movie. He is just some guy the studio stuck on as director because he doesn't cost much and would do what the studio wants. You would need a BIG name director to cast an unknown Asian lead in this kind of movie since then the director's name could sell the movie.
>>143474512
I don't like you, go away.
>>143478014
Personally, I'm sick of this edgy fantasy interpretation bullshit. It's clear that they're all trying to cash in on each other. What's next, Jack and Jill? Red Riding Hood?
>>143478855
>Red Riding Hood?
Red riding hood with a bishie werewolfand red riding hood is a shota
>>143475484
>>143478139
Holy fuck, I'm rewatching 2nd GIG now and I was just thinking about how relevant it seems now with the refugees. I bet they'll copy that story but make it all about how we need to let them in or some shitty propaganda stunt like that. FUCK
>>143479059
They'd never. You know how girls eat teen protagonists that have more than one men drooling after them up.
>>143478638
Autism speaks.
I look forward to torrenting it
>>143479478
inb4 your computer gets fried by an active barrier on the torrent
>>143478855
Didn't they have a Red Riding Hood movie a few years back?
>>143465402
what problem, if some weebs in india start spamming gollywood renditions of other series are you going to go up in arms that some shitskins on the other side of the world are ruining your chinese cartoons?
>>143479689
Bollywood doesn't have global media influence, Einstein.
>>143480053
it does little to nothing to the japanese market
>>143478446
>The sad truth is Hollywood doesn't care about Asian actors.
And why should I care about asians actors?
Don't worry OP, I don't pay for movies that have jews in leading roles.
I'll see it, but I sure as hell won't pay money to see it. I'll just torrent it once it becomes available.
>>143476228
all you need is kill was good
>>143481518
maybey we can live watch a cam rip of it?
>>143474192
Not if you bring your falcon.
>>143465402
I think we know too little about it to properly judge it right now. I mean, the guys who directed The Winter Soldier had only done some shitty Owen Wilson comedy before. That said, I'm probably going to see it in theaters. And I'll enjoy it 10x as much knowing it'll piss off /a/.
>>143468014
>It is irrelevant what Japanese people think about a piece of Japanese fiction
>>143468223
In what way exactly, because anime/manga is already kinda at that point.
Even though The Neon Demon turned out to be pretty shit, I would be interested in seeing Refn do something in the spirit of Akira or GitS.
In the worst case, it would probably still have great atmosphere and visuals.
>>143465402
>implying /a/ leaves the house
>implying /a/ pays currency for media
>>143465402
I'd rather see a movie before I judge it
I haven't been to the movies since the first Jurassic Park movie.
>had a $25 movie gift card for a year and a half
>nothing interesting enough to use it on
>>143486628
This.
>>143465402
but i want to go see it
>>143465402
if it has tachikomas being adorable as fuck i'm there day one
It's kinda like Berserk, ya know? It will suck but ye just gotta see it for yerself.
>>143466630
>mfw japs think SJn looks "kirei"
>>143482267
The difference for the WS is that Marvel/Disney has a massive collab team for it. Because the franchise demands a certain standard and outline it's pretty hard to fuck up. They already got the hard part over with the Avengers.
>>143465402
It's gonna flop anyway, so whatever.
>>143465402
>Hollywood
>giving a fuck about some tiny demographic
They would be hard pressed to care less about anime fans, they just want to take ideas and achieve mainstream success with them.
>>143487371
Because she's exotic to them. It's no different from how some 5/10 asian is suddenly 7/10 to some westerners.
>>143482267
The people doing Marvel movies had strict directions from Marvel. That's why they're hiring nobodies- easier to control and follow their instructions. Just look at the Ant-man debacle where the director left because he disagreed with the direction. Using them as a comparison is fucking stupid.
>I'm probably going to see it in theaters. And I'll enjoy it 10x as much knowing it'll piss off /a/.
Oh, I get it, you're one of those people who love being smug about their ignorance. Feel free to go and watch it. Just don't come back to /a/ and whine about how you wasted your money because you never learn from how Hollywood has been doing things.
>And I'll enjoy it 10x as much knowing it'll piss off /a/.
Pfffttttt I feel sad for you, actually. People who aren't stupid already knows it's fucking nothing worth caring. It's pretty telling that they have to resort to playing the whitwashing card to gain attention like hos Ghosbusters has to play the 'if you shit on it, it's because you're sexist' defence.
So really, all that's left is retards like you trying to mock at the retarded parts of /a/ without realising that you both are equally stupid about it.
>>143466630
>Shills constantly trying to make it a race thing
It's a shitty actor thing. There are better people for the role.
>>143465402
Reminder
Who /watch/ here? I plan seeing it if there are good options and times when movie hopping.
>>143487808
>whine about how you wasted your money because you never learn from how Hollywood has been doing things
I go to /tv/ for that.
>>143489071
/tv/ would be a fun place to go if I actually watched tv, they had a pretty kick ass animal battle royal thread once thoughhawks win every time
>>143489160
>if I actually watched tv
80% of the tv discussion on /tv/ is GOT. You're not missing anything.
>Another hollywood blockbuster based in chinese cartoons
They never learn of Kite and Edge?
>>143486832
>tachikomas
No please.
tachikomas completely ruined Gits, since 2002 nobody cannot take it seriously without thinking about all the dumb tachikomas.
>>143465402
I don't even like GITS but i will go to see because they may actually make it watchable
>>143466630
>SJWs get butthurt asians aren't being represented in animeme movie
>Japanese don't give two shits
Why are they so based?
Hollywood's getting most of its' money from Chinese audiences nowadays. Blame them.
>>143465402
God, they're actually making this shit. Fuck me.
>>143466630
I kinda wanted to see hollywood use cgi to give white actors chink face
>>143465402
I'm going to buy tickets to another movie and just sneak in afterwards. Who the hell only watches one movie when tickets cost $14 for non-3D?
>>143465402
Actually OP, you're a bit off. If you like or hate this then you are part of the problem. Be indifferent. I have absolutely no interest in this.
>>143490314
But what if this is the first movie that shows that day?
