How do you deal with coming across media you dislike about your favorite show/manha
This is a general question btw with no ill intent to the cast and fandom itself.
I've been an on and off fan of one piece for a few years now and I've avoided OPLA religiously because LAs are often disappointments (looking at Kuroshitsuji, AOT, DBZ, ATLA...) and I admittedly am one of those people who are very picky and sensitive when it comes to adaptations of their fav works. I've seen the casting choices and I felt disconcerted about the portrayals of some of my favorite characters but I kept it to myself and just didn't engage.
I've been keeping my peace until recently when my room mate started watching it. I got forced to watch it because she always starts when I start preparing dinner and the kitchen area directly faces the living room TV. It was fine at first but as time went on I felt like the work I came to love so much became more and more... Idk, smudged? It didn't feel right to me. The deviations, random changes, acting choices, certain casting choices etc. it felt like I was watching a role play.
I won't get into detail about the things I disliked since it might start unnecessary drama but I genuinely need advice on how to remove myself from this headspace, every time I think about it, it bugs me. Every time I come across clips of it (yes, somehow it started invading my feed too.) I feel even more distaste for it. I even found out that actors for some of my fav characters are asscheeks. It sucks. I don't even want to care about it but I just keep doing it unconsciously and making myself suffer. What do I do help
ohh boy i was damn near heading to my casket after I watched the netflix death note la back in 2017. avoid avoid AVOID any live action, under any circumstances. it took a long ass time to shut the memory of watching it out of my mind, and yet I still shudder at the fact that they changed misa's name to mia reply
as someone whos really into mo dao zu shi or mdzs (a piece of literature with like 7+ adaptations with more being created)
the best advice i have is to try to think of them as seperate things. or just what they are, adaptations. going in with the expectation of inaccuracies is how ive survived this long ╥﹏╥ 1 reply
This just unlocked buried feelings within me lol. They made some interesting casting and acting choices such as Zoro acting more like post timeskip Zoro with his nonchalant ass, and well, Vivi's controversial casting amongst others. I take it that you were affected by it too since you mentioned casting multiple times, and I agree. As someone loves ...... reply
Oh I heard OPLA is good? I mean decent. I’ve seen a lot of OP fans praising it. Though I’m a fan myself I haven’t seen the LA. They didn’t religiously adapted the series but they’re still doing great I heard especially with Oda-sensei’s personal involvement (I could be wrong tho)
I’ve only seen LA of Rourouni Kenshin, Gintama, Death...... 1 reply
I watch a ton of live action. Worst is I read the manga/manhwa etc beforehand usually and most times adaptions will mostly never match up identical in that it is written words/art panels and morphed into live action with actors/plots/filing scene locations etc. So I give leeway. If the story is SO warped away from the source I have read, I just...... reply
