    Well, with Vector Ball being not super successful, I'm not surprised to hear this.

    I'm iffy on what one would do with a sequel series but I trust Raiku. He's an unconventional but ultimately very solid writer.

    and Extraction was basically Western The Raid anyway... just remove the awesome fights, with pewpew gun.
    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

    Well americanzied remakes of foreign flims have been good like The Departed. American remakes of foreign flims aren't anything new. Hollywood's been doing them for a long time now. Since 1938 going by the foreign remake trope.

    I heard the Departed was a terrible distortion of Infernal Affairs tbh. Only saw the original for that reason and liked it a bunch.

    I'm not against remakes though, but I think they only have value if they have something the original doesn't and/or comment on it in some way, which a lot of newer remakes don't seem interested in doing now.

    I would say the key difference is between "remake" and "adaptation".

    As Mailed says, if you want to do something transformative and new with an existing property, fine. But if you're just doing it the same but less interesting then what's the point.

    One Piece: We get a discussion between some CP0 agents here that I'm interpreting like this.

    spoilers:
    Agent 1: New orders from the Gorosei. They want us to kill Straw Hat Luffy immediately.

    Agent 2: What, why? He's fighting Kaido right now and shit is crazy. I can go in after they're done.

    Agent 1: Nope. Do it now. We have to prevent the worst case scenario.

    Agent 2: What worst case scenario?

    Agent 1: Ok, so the Gorosei are a bunch of really old dudes to they forgot to properly hang up their transponder snail and I heard them mentioning something about how our higher ups have captured princess Vivi of Alabasta and Sabo of the revolutionaries.

    Agent 2: ...you mean the princess who is basically an unofficial member of the Straw Hat crew and the man who is basically Monkey D. Luffy's second adopted brother?

    Agent 1: Yup. And we know this because of our massive spy information network. And we also know that when, not if but WHEN, Monkey D. Luffy finds out that the World Government has taken the two aformentioned people that he holds VERY dear and near prisoner, then Monkey D. Luffy will come here along with his crew and the massive army of followers they have garnered from across the world, and they. Will. Destroy. Us. We have seen it done before when it should have been impossible. But it's happened multiple times now and by this point Monkey D. Luffy is clearly on par with a Yonko in terms of power and influence. So yeah. Kill him. Kill him NOW! Kill him before he destroys us.
    end of spoilers
