Now that GI Joe (a.k.a. more shameless whoring of good classic tv shows so Hollywood can become even MORE greedy), IGN lists 10 shows they want to see put into live action from their cartoon counterparts.
IGN, GO KILL YOURSELVES. WHAT'S WRONG WITH LEAVING SOMETHING GOOD ALONE!? Not to mention with Hollywood doing terrible with this stuff, and being talentless hacks with no ability to actually care for their fans outside of the occasional comic book movie, I wish these editors would go back to writing about Madden and other boring nonsense.
They list: (No order in particular)
1. He-Man: It's ALREADY been done, and it SUCKED. SO NO!
2. Neon Genesis Evangelion: FUCK NO! This series works BETTER animation what with the mecha. God only knows how much Hollywood would intercourse up the psychological stuff in this series. They'd turn it into "GIANT ROBOTS WOOOOOOO!" like Transformers.
3. Johnny Quest: BEEN DONE. **I think, I'm sure it's out there*
4. Voltron: see end of Evangelion, they'd just turn it into "GIANT ROBOTS WOOOOO!"
5. The Jetsons: After seeing Scooby Doo and the Flinstones turned into live action (multiple times, AND SUCKING), Hanna-Barbera cartoons should be LEFT ALONE.
6. Thundercats: Great, give the furry's MORE reasons to be proud of themselves...
7. Cowboy Bebop: FUCK NO FUCK NO FUCK NO FUCK NO! It's one of the best animated tv shows EVER. It has the best Japanese to English dub EVER. IT"S FUCKING FINE THE WAY IT IS!
8. The Smurf's: ...WHY!?
9. Fullmetal Alchemst:

I WILL KILL EVERYONE INVOLVED IF HOLLYWOOD GOES EVEN NEAR MY FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST!
10: Robotech:
wait for it....
GIANT ROBOTS WOOOOOOO!!!!
IGN, PLEASE stop giving Hollywood TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE ideas...

Who cares if animated TV becomes live-action movies? It doesn't change the goodness of the TV part.
It's basically spitting on the original work saying "HMPH, We're Hollywood, we're SOOOO much better than YOU and you're SILLY ANIMATION. Our full-assed writing and poor special effects with no effort is WAY better than anything these "cartoons" can do!"

No it's not... They're saying they like the show so much that they'd like to ruin it on the big screen, all this gets all the sad lonely fanboys together and reminds them that Hollywood is ruining something already awesome, then they come together on some forums and rant rant rant.
It also stems from the fact that Hollywood would rather be lazy than do anything truly worthwhile.
And yes, I'm a fanboy and I will forever rant about all these horrible licensed movies.
They're horrible, and I'm PISSED about them. And I will forever be so. I demand that all studio's be required to watch Miyazaki's work and learn how to be intercourse ing original.

I don't see how it shows that they're lazy by
adding new things.
Lazy by not coming up with their own ideas. Why make your own story with your own characters? Just steal someone else's! Why spend time trying to make a unique design for your characters and a special visual appeal to your creation? Just copy paste other's works!
As I've said many times before, it is a MILLION times easier to write/direct/etc. a work that has already be pre-made for you. And if you try to do anything different, then why the intercourse make an adaptation in the first place?! It's frankly a creatively bankrupt no-win situation that Hollywood gets away with because most people are too stupid to demand more from their entertainment. *goes to watch Spirited Away and The Day the Earth Stood Still* (1951, NOT Keanu's utterly pointless remake)
Ever notice how 99.9999999% of movies are either a book, TV show, play, or pre-made idea?
No movies make up their own movies from scratch

the vast majority in the last 20 years, yes.
However, look at the 30's through the early 60's, and there were more original works than based on books, etc.
JR, there is a difference between being inspired by things (Dragonball - Journey to the West, Star Wars - the hero's journey, Buck Rodgers, etc.) and blatant copying, which is what most of these "blockbusters" are.

NAYR PLEASE STOP THEM PLEASE I LOVE THIS SERIES MAKE IT STOP MAKE THE PAIN GO AWAY MAKE IT STOP NAYR PLEASE ;_________________________________;
Also if there is ever going to be anime live action, PLEASE LEAVE IT TO JAPAN
The Smurfs as a live-action would probably be a horror film.

I'd like to note Zovi that I've never seen any advertisement for that movie even when it was just coming out, let alone any sort of hype or marketing for it.
Classic Hollywood never giving anything different a chance because it might not make anywhere near as much money as "Superman 18: Superman does more superman poop"
Turning anime into live action movies is unspeakable.
Teletubbies: The Movie.

i never understood the appeal of superman
i mean, he's all powerful, but a moron. He's invincible. "o noes, its kryptonite! And for some reason I won't use a gun!"
It's the batman situation (won't kill one's enemies), except that superman is far less badass, far more powerful, and a intercourse ing idiot.

At least Batman has a justifiable reason for not killing (doesn't want anyone to experience the pain he did). Superman not killing is just because he's a self-righteous bastard....
And I agree with Lotos, turning anime into live action is just horrible. It's usually animated for a reason. (things like Gundam and DBZ can pretty much only be done in animation because the way things work will never make sense in real life)
It's animated because it' much easier to draw someone shooting some weird thing out of a sword than getting a bunch of bad-looking graphics to do it. Seriously, no animated TV show was ever considered by it's creator to be a live-action TV show.

The Nines? What is that movie about, a crack addict who has created his own world and will die if he doesn't get back to reality?
Also, not only does Hollywood need to leave animation and video games alone, but they need to leave a good movie alone. Stop with sequels. We don't need five of the same movie, we all know that it only goes downhill from there. A series can be easily ruined that way. Unless it's justified, stop with sequels.
Both SD movies and both Flintstones movies kicked ass. <3 John Goodman

The thing is, there making another live action SD movie about when scooby met shaggy and just the preview made me want to throw up.
The other two were fine, but this one is horrible.
I intercourse ing loved the first Flinstones movies.
I don't know why everyone hates it....
But yeah, unlike Nayrman, I just shrug these things off and try to ignore it.
(The one exception being DragonBall. good god that movie blew chunks)

Dude, DON'T remind me.

to quote Iron Maiden: "RUN TO THE HILLS!!!! RUN FOR YOUR LIIIIIVVVVESSS!"
Admittedly this is one of the few anime that actually might turn out well in live action. Although I seriously, SERIOUSLY doubt it what with Hollywood's complete and utter incompetence the last decade or so. Spielberg was said to have wanted to do a live action Ghost in the Shell at one point, which with him at the helm might've gone well. But nothing came of it.
