I really enjoyed Ghostbusters Afterlife, can see why some aren't too thrilled by it but a lot of it really worked for me. In particular spoilers:end of spoilers
found the Harold Ramis tribute really touching and well done, and doubt any fans of the original weren't smiling at the sight of the four originals standing shoulder to shoulder again, or how they filled the old roles so easily and obviously still have amazing chemistry together. New cast was pretty good too, Mckenna Grace in particular. Only disappointment was that Rick Moranis wasn't there, so I guess he's still not working
Welp, Wheel of Time has managed to annoy me in the first thirty seconds

they really did remove Saidin and Saidar and just make a generic magic that just happens to corrupt men when they use it... somehow
also not thrilled with them making Egwene into a fourth Ta'veren, never felt that was missing or would have improved her story and if anything would seem to take away from it
I mean... as long as he's happy I guess... nah it's still weird.

Booo, who comes up with these lines

Yeah, but if you... man, we're getting into weird analogy territory, like if you disintegrated Superman's arms he wouldn't be able to go "fool! Little did you know that my arms and I are one and can be remade from me!" and will his arms back into being from pure nothingness. - Pendaran

See, I don't even like Cowboy Bebop the original very much. I tried watching it, thought it was fine but never finished it. Just didn't really grab me that much. I'm not watching this thing under any circumstances; it could not be any less for me.
What I have been quietly fascinated by though is the marketing of this new version. Netflix have been aggressively drawing direct comparisons between this and the original anime and it never comes off looking better or even as good. The comparative gifsets, the shot for shot remake of the intro, it all invites comparison to a largely universally beloved anime of exceptional quality.
Like, surely you can only lose this comparison? You aren't going to make a Cowboy Bebop that Cowboy Bebop fans like more than Cowboy Bebop?
And then clips. All the clips they've posted prior to release have just been... odd? Poorly paced? Badly scripted? Maybe they are the best clips they have but they have just been... kind of ass.
All of which is to say, I am (terrified) very curious for the upcoming One Piece live action adaptation. As I said to housemate today, who does not know One Piece at all, how would you go about adapting a sequence like this:
Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence.

I never had any hope for the One piece thing lol
I’ve also heard bad things about the wheel of time adaptation but I’ll be seeing that too

Imagine how I feel about Amazon’s Second Age Lord Of The Rings series that, from what I hear, may try to outdo Games of Thrones in some ways.
Granted, there’s a lot of wiggle room for writing whatever in the largely undetailed Second Age, and Númenor DID become a snakepit of depravity, but still.

"...dropping an orca whale made of fire on your enemies is a pretty strong opening move." - Nik
"Why throw punches when you can be making everyone around you sterile mutant corpses?" - Pendaran, regarding Dr. Fate
there's some annoying changes to the Wheel of Time lore in the opening minute or so that might have major repercussions later on but the show after that I found mostly entertaining, maybe they'll retcon it or further clarify through exposition back towards the way its supposed to be later on
