I do not see what purpose this serves, but whatever. There are just so many better things everyone could be doing with their lives, you know?

The animated series was perfect. There is no need for this.

Has there ever been a good live action remake?

I will give them credit for the casting, though, these actors look like their animated counterparts.

Looks bad. The outfit and everything should have been modified to look much sleek instead of full copy paste. The helm even looks too big for his head

New trailer released today.

They did quite well with the one piece adaptation. So I have a lot of hope for this.

Actually looks good...

 

[Welsh Wonder]

Actually looks good...

Agreed. Looking forward to this now.

The cartoon was so good....this looks very promising, seems very faithful.

It has to keep that same family friendly whimsical humorous vibe as that was half of the appeal.... Gonna send it to my kids and see if it passes the test

Yeah will be interesting to see if it can strike that balance between the family fun but also those nice deep/poignant parts.

Watched the first episode. It's not very good.

Shocker.

Suffers the same issues as the One Piece series, bad green screen and effects, dodgy dialogue and poor casting with a lead no way good enough to carry this kind of show.

Also no way it can have the character development of the animated series in 7 hours. 4 episodes in, it's ehh bordering on bad, but it's not aimed at people my age anymore.

 

[afrocentricity]

Aaaah ffs, really?

Me and my 13 year old, who has watched the animated series multiple times just watched the first episode and we both enjoyed it. Not sure what everyone's beef is with it, really.

Obviously it's going to have to diverge from the original in some ways, it's going to have to be truncated, and with a budget for a 2 hour blockbuster spent on 7 hours worth of TV episodes, the effects won't be perfect, but there's nothing I've seen so far that's jarring. Maybe we're all spoiled with good CGI in 2024, but I can still watch my favourite 80s films with obvious practical and optical FX without that spoiling my viewing experience.
