Attack on Titan and Fullmetal Alchemist both explicitly take place in and aesthetic stand-in for western europe. Lots of blonde hair and blue eyes, western castles and cobblestone streets. All the names are like that Japanese baseball game that made up an entire roster of western sounding name.
And yet both movies have an all-japanese cast in horrible wigs and tend to omit characters that couldn’t be done well by japanese actors. Why didn’t they just hire some token foreigners to act in the movies? Save a bit on terrible wigs and eye enlargement makeup.
I've never seen it but from your description, Armstrong is one of the ones who was left on the cutting room floor wasn't he?
This upsets me greatly, if it's true.
The live-action Fullmetal, like the anime, follows the Elric brothers, Edward (Ryôsuke Yamada) and Alphonse (Atom Mizuishi), as they search for a Philosopher's Stone in the fictional European nation of Amestris. Sori ties together Arakawa’s greatest hits—the Elric boys' fate, Winry and her automail, the three primary Homunculi—but in the interest of time, the filmmaker streamlines the first third of the story. He dumps Scar, Major Armstrong, and any Homunculi other than Lust, Envy and Gluttony onto the cutting room floor.
I remember fill in issues. Enjoying the storyline from last month? Looking forward to the story we told you would happen this month? Yeah too bad Rick was late with the art so here's a one shot that mostly fits in continuity that we may never refer to again.
Or the occasional issue which would have pages of a character just remembering the history of a particular bad guy or hero so the reader got up to speed, all complete with asterisked editors notes detailing the relevant back issues.
those clip show type issues were like
man i should just skip this but also what if they add something new to the story in there?
they never added something new to the story in there
I think they sometimes used them to clear away some inconsistencies, usually by creating other, different inconsistencies. I can't think of an example now, unfortunately, but they didn't trumpet those, I don't think.
The trick is to hire Kurt Busiek to sort them out in one go every decade.
omg a second Lana Del Rey song >:( he knows how I feel about this and I was already feeling depressed and anxious when I woke up
Pinecone pls
i don't know who Lana of the Rey is but that name sounds calming to me? Is it stressful music?
she is a v v v good singer who makes skillful music that I really really don't like
she is the musical equivalent of cilantro for me, if she's in a song I just want to gag
she kind of has a musical persona that I find deeply uncomfortable and irritating, like, nails-on-a-chalkboard annoying, so her music puts me in a very bad mood generally!
I dunno if the relationship between movies and D&D is toxic or if the movies based on D&D don't just suck. It's a setting, not a story, and doesn't lend itself to a great movie, I don't think.

Could you imagine a Ghost in the Shell live-action movie with asian actors?
Heck, even if there's only two or three asian characters in a property, American movies will often whitewash or omit them.
My dream is a japanese made ghost in the shell movie with some of the depth of the original and a much more asian perspective, and more asian actors. But not exclusively asian actors. Then we end up with a mountain of unconvincing blonde wigs and no major armstrong.
Thousands of hot, local singles are waiting to play at bubbulon.com.
Let's talk about deepfakes and how troubling the rapid improvement in video editing has become
we did a project in my video editing class where we made something look like something crazy was happening on a news broadcast, and even tho we only had 2 hours it was pretty remarkable how close some of the things people turned in looked to the real deal! And that's just some youths messing around in AE

Nope.
Japan's movie industry is very much Japan first.
Also I mean, what did you expect from these movies?
We complain about whitewashing so often and we have a well produced movie that isnt so but we still like to beat it down for minor faults.
For how bad the US is with this Japan is much much worse.
I will very much point out the very overt race issues Japan has in its treatment of pretty much everyone not Japanese. My usual description for Japan on a lot of cultural sensitivity things is, Japan is the US in the mid to late 70's and kind of just stuck there.
But at the same time it is an island that is 98% Japanese and is one of the entertainment industries where local fare is the biggest market instead of imported US/Hollywood movies.

As it gets easier it will get creepier
Of greater concern imo is whether we can alter images and video while concealing the traces of the editing process

Yeah but it's really not just the xenophobia.
Their sexism is... well, it makes us look like gender utopias.
I can only imagine how horrible their trans communities have it.

Ehh, again different culture with a different historical base. I would not say amazing but at the same time not really the same type of bullshit you get in the states. Japan's issues are not based in the protestant puritanism that the US/Canada and a lot of Europe have baked in.

Ahhh the wild days of early 3D cards. I still had my voodoo 2 cards somewhere They might still be tucked away heh.
I think it was the Nvidia Riva that was the groundbreaking "good 3D card combined with excellent 2D card," so you no longer needed a discrete 2D card with that Voodoo.

Anime, though a bigger export, is a subset of a really broad media market in Japan and would not be the basis I would weigh everything on. Especially since a lot of it is targeted towards 13-16 year olds which isn't great either.

would you stymie the forward match of technology, were you able?

The internet, and people in general, have a toxic relationship with film. It's not just D&D.
Like all entertainment, it is built to activate our neuroses and compulsions and keep us distracted from the revolution
