America buys foreign IP
Bentley Brown
Elijah Cox
Has there ever been a case of Americans making a movie based off a foreign IP, and succeeding it? I can only think of Alita.
Zachary Ortiz
It happens all the time, Godzilla being the obvious one.
Jack Brooks
Power Rangers
Jason Gray

Hate to break it to you weebs, but this live action Dragonball is far more watchable and enjoyable than the anime. The anime is literally just watching static drawings talk to eachother for ten episodes, then when some action finally happens, 80% of it is them just screaming while they conjure up some lame ass energy ball or something
Daniel Smith
So just like the movie?
Parker Watson
>grandpa gohan why can't i pick up girls in school fr fr no cap

Ethan Walker
None of these are that old except I guess true lies
Adrian Edwards

??? Are you just thinking anime or something user? Cuz there’s a ton of shit like The Departed, 12 Monkeys, A Fistful of Dollars, Vanilla Sky, etc.
Isaiah Smith
Yeah, forgot to specify anime and games.
Wyatt Powell
Name one good live adaption
Chase Nelson
Alita.
Colton Smith
I'm gonna assume they meant Legendary Godzilla, not the shitty one from 98
Easton Bell
That one is sometimes considered completely disinherited from legal point of view.
Dominic Jones
Revenge for Pearl Harbor never forget.
Colton Davis
Most of them are shit. Off the top of my head these are the only remotely good ones.
>The first Silent Hill film was decently good.
>Wachowskis’ Speed Racer. On first watch I hated it, it’s a weirdly shot ADHD movie, but the final lap always gets me
That’s pretty much it. Wanting live action anime doesn’t really make sense. It’s good because it’s animated, that’s the whole point of the medium. People didn’t like Akira for its plot, it was praised for its animation and music. People don’t play vidya solely for the plot, it’s to engage in a game. Watching a movie isn’t engaging in a game. It’s different mediums, that’s why it almost always never pans out.

The difference is that while Toho got from American Godzilla in 2014 what it didn't in 1998 they still have control over what Americans do with the IP and they have to pay for each monster separately. It's weird that Hollywood is so eager to work with them. And I'm surprised why same thing doesn't happen for anime IPs. Their rights holders don't care or can't negotiate any creative control.
