Of course I did. In comparison, Airbender was closer to its own source than this and it had more color, and besides ,it looks like Nolan did this on a bad day.
The basic colors aren't present which is the issue. and saying otherwise is asinine and incorrect.
1. It's called a rhetorical question and
2. You realize that just because a movie has a darker palette does not immediately make it relatable to Nolan. It's not like Begins, Dark Knight, and Rises are the only films the guy has made. Both Memento and The Prestige have plenty of color.
3. its not like this is the first movie to revamp an old character design. Pretty much every movie based on a pre-existing franchise does, to assume that they wouldn't is whats asinine. And if you wanna complain about ruining a characters design go talk to the G. I. Joe movies.
There isn't? How about take these helmets, theme them off the original Gatchaman versions and see what happens. Chances are, it would look much cooler.
Its very unlikely and quite frankly it doesn't really matter if they would look cooler or not, because thats not the direction they decided to go with for the suit designs. And its tremendously rude/ridiculous that you think you just instantly "know better" than an entire professional design team.
Also, why are you justifying this is when you'd be whining if Spiderman went Noir then how it is, or if any of the Marvel and DC films of late neutered the designs and colors for "realistic" purposes?
I'm not justifying anything I just think you're acting like an utter tool.
Also I love Spider-Man Noir!
If I want to be an emo and listen to horrible music, I'd do that, but if they're planning on making a superhero film based around a popular franchise, its not wise to neuter every film out there.
What does that have to do with anything. And theres
some good emo bands. That aside what the hell is your obsession neutering, that is not a word to describe what is happening here.
if anything this looks like damn Evangelion and Power Rangers had a baby while intoxicated more than Gatchaman. Hell, design wise, it makes any remotely horrible superhero movie in the States [Even Returns GRider 2] look like masterpieces.
K, I'm gonna level with you for a tick. If you really knew
anything about design, you wouldn't be flying off the handle like this. Your anger has nothing to do with the quality of the design. Your just mad cuz it doesn't look like what you want it to. That, once again has
nothing to do with whether or not its well designed, which it is.
The designs are cohesive and quite frankly they spent a shitload of time and money making sure the suits could do anything they needed to, I can guarantee you that other than wanting to look "cool and futuristic" that any of the major changes made to the suits were done for the sake of practicality.
If its realistic to have no color or themed things, what about how planes were painted with animals on them during World War II , the colors on some military craft and even uniforms to a lesser extent. If Marvel can pull Captain America off, there's no excuse that Pacific Rim knockoff that's notGatchaman can pull it off either.
WWII has
literally nothing to do with this. And neither does Pacific Rim.
It actually seems to be a trend with most anime adapts in Japan based on Tatsunoko products. Save for Speed Racer, Casshern was dark as hell and this......:redface2: Especially in post Fukushima Japan, you'd think there'd be a sense to make escapist fantasies than realistic and depressing flicks.
Speed Racer was american produced and doesn't count cuz its not a Japanese production. While Casshern was dark the only other Tatsunoko adaptation thats been done was Yatterman which was totally upbeat. Soooooooooo, you're wrong.
They should have just given it to the Wachowski Brothers or Michael Bay because it could have at least been true or a popcorn flick that was unashamed of its origins. Because if this keeps true as appearances are, then I won't watch this.
Except no one gives a **** about the Wachowski Brothers anymore. And Michael Bay would've turned them into an all female crew of big tittied harpy ninjas. And none of us really care if you watch it or not, we can enjoy what will hopefully be a bitchin movie and you can be stubborn and whiney, have a blast.:thumbs:
