Well, they made Bebop into live-action and I wish it didn't look stupid, but it does.

Not that I watched half of it, I just checked out what Vicious looks and acts like and, well... He doesn't look or act like Vicious. He acts like a 40-year old Joker frat boy with daddy issues (John plays the rich abusive father, how shocking.). Don't get me wrong, had I not known the original, I'd watch it twice just for the bad guy - good actor, remarkable face, great body, they didn't make him shave head to toe, points for that, but fuck was that terribly casting choice vis-a-vie the original... And Julia, a botox bimbo in a shitty wig is the head of the syndicate now ... like, what in the everloving fuck? That is supposed to be Gren?? Gren, the saddest character of the lot? Have those people even WATCHED the anime? Or did they just hear it's about cowboys in space who fight a lot? Did they not comprehend what those walking emotional corpses in a neon graveyard were about? That is one of the saddest anime out there, and I watched the fucking Grave of the Fireflies. But, hey, at least we get ten seconds of Ed in the last scene. If that young actor stays in the business, that scene alone is a heck of a jump-start. 


Not saying he doesn't have an interesting face, an awesome body and a cute dick, but that's a blonde Joker, not Vicious. 


Appreciate the fact Julia is dressed as part of the furniture, but pay attention to what a barren, shitty room the two have in the anime, and what a 19 million apartment they have in the show.
