Personally I don't like the Zelda movie being Live-Action because outside of the few humanoid races (including MCs) most Zelda characters are really weird and silly (in a good way) and Live Action could limit that. It shouldn't be Game of Thrones but Nintendo, it should be Spirited Away but Action - ThreadSky

that's what costumes, cgi and practical effects are for!!!!

and about that last thing, why not just watch Princess Mononoke in that case?

That's like saying "why not watch Lord of the Rings if you want a Live Action Zelda"
And to be fair modern audiences have kind of been conditioned to shit CGI effects and nothing practical in recent times so I can understand the dismay from people.

you're right actually, I think a zelda movie in general is kinda pointless. zelda is probably the most basic and generic fantasy story you can get, besides, I think the whole concept of adapting video games into movies is kinda silly, it's like adapting a movie into a stage play

the whole point of video games is their interactivity and immersion, taking that away kinda defeats the point.

Breath of the Wild feels like a beautiful grand adventure because of the gameplay and the way it immerses you into the world, without that it's just a poorly written generic fantasy story

Honestly that's completely fair lol, most of the demand for Live-Action adaptations comes from people's love for a game, but they usually love it for its gameplay. I think Adaptations only really work in franchises where people are fans of the characters like Sonic,

Where they can just build whatever story they want around the mascot character and make a neat little movie for kids and everyone's happy.

Linear Story-Heavy games like TLOU translate really well into movies/shows but I think adapting them actually hurts them because

The show/story offers a more widespread and less hands-on alternative to actually playing the game so most people who watch them remember them for the show/movie and don't bother with the game. The Omori Manga was also a bad idea from the start because it's a Spoiler-heavy game.

I'm not even really disappointed by it being live action, I'd just rather it wouldn't. Animation can offer more versatility in magic effects, for example. But anyone who dismisses it because of this is a baby

cumandshit.bsky.social•78 days ago

I think both live action and animation are more versatile than each other but in completely different ways

The Tree of Life (2011) and Mirror (1975) could never possibly work if they were animated, meanwhile Angel's Egg (1985) and Mad God (2011) could never possibly work in live action

*Mad God came out in 2021 idk why I said 2011
