Comparisons...
Ok, I have to bring this up because I just don’t understand why people think it’s necessary to make comparisons to anything that has a remote similarity to something else. LoL This actually came to me after watching X-Men 3. Now I’m sure you’ve either seen the movie or at least heard the reviews for it and I’ll say straight off; I enjoyed this movie. The end. Don’t try to convince me it sucked or the storyline was crap. I don’t want to hear it; I don’t honestly care why you think that. =) I enjoyed it. I’m not even going to try to convince you why it was good, doesn’t that make you happy? This little comment is not about that, it’s a question. Why should you have to judge a movie on what it’s based up? Why should you have judge an anime on the manga it came from? Why can you not simply appreciate and enjoy both of them?
Can someone explain it too me? Why something has to be better than something else? It is just some stupid competitive thing? Is that what it is? Maybe it just comes from my background I happily watch movies that are based on novels and I don’t expect them to be the same thing. I mean seriously how can you put together a 2hour movie from a 500+ page novel? It’s just not possible. I honestly watch the movie just with the hope that it’s a good movie, not that it’s a photocopy of a book I enjoyed. Sure I hope to see favorite scenes translated into the movie but it’s not the end of the world if it isn’t there. I don’t know I just can’t understand why people can degrade something that was done well just because it didn’t match what they wanted to see. I mean if something is done badly, horrible effects, bad acting, well of course that means the movie isn’t good. But judging something because the storyline differed from what you expected or believed should happen?
Oh well I guess that means I can happily go back to see X-Men 3 without having to be annoyed by other folks. Including my roomies, who at least were kind enough to remain quiet while watching the movie. LoL It was only afterwards I had to deal with them trying to convince me it was horrible. Of course they seem to think that I would enjoy any movie that Hugh Jackman went shirtless in…hmm they might be right about that actually. =)
But honestly this comes up all the time on the forums I visit, the comparison between a manga and an anime. Naruto and Bleach are huge ones for this discussion. Samurai Deeper Kyo is another one. I guess pretty much any anime/manga where the storyline shifts away from each other this comes up. I mean SDK for example is a great example of this. The anime and the manga could not be more different if they tried. LoL I mean the characters look the same and share the same names, that’s about as close as it gets. But you know what; I enjoyed them both. The anime I thought was funny, beautifully drawn and just fun to watch. And you know what…I enjoy the manga too! I think it’s funny, beautiful drawn, and fun to read…hmm sense a theme here? So what if they’re essentially a different storyline. Doesn’t that just mean I get to enjoy two things instead of just one?
Ok I’ll stop here; you’re probably just waiting for me to post my next WP anyway so I’ll get back to work on those. Expect a few PoT works and an SDK one in the very near future. I’m just doing some finishing touches on them before posting. Later!
