Mura @shizamura@ciberlandia.ptO Trigun Stampede parece sofrer do mesmo mal que outras readaptações modernas de animes que é assumir que tu conheces ou o material original ou a adaptação anterior e então começar a contar a história pelo fim (para quê estruturar os momentos de revelação de temas na história se já são todos conhecidos, né?)
Mura @shizamuraA adaptação original teve o dom de deixar o espectador a pensar que ia ser aventuras de cowboy com tirinho no deserto até eventualmente revelar que oops era ficção científica afinal!! Este novo entra logo com um "yeah este gajo vem do espaço"
Mura @shizamuraIsso e estamos no segundo episódio e até agora o Vash ser o "tufão humano" é apenas atributo informado. Pois ele ainda não atraiu nenhum desastre que justifique o nome, apenas bondades

Mura @shizamuraEverything, from scene 1 episode 1 is about the knives (the Moriarty of this show)
Mura @shizamuraClaro que ninguém acha estranho o vash ter precisão e velocidade sobre humanas. Desde o episódio 3 que não mais apareceu um personagem que fosse só "humano normal'
@shizamura i am using translated but this entire thread is exactly what i thought of it. And the trend of new adaptations relying on fan knowledge (final fantasy 7 remake annoys me the most of this trend but that is my own grumble)
I will have to find a copy of the manga one day though, i keep saying i will and then i forget
Mura @shizamura@Necrobatty yeah it just makes everything so obvious right away. It's like "you're gonna enjoy the first part of the story!! Knowing the end!!" like bro. No. I loved the way i learnt things about Vash slowly. That he seemed like a goof but there were layers to uncover. This time it's like "hey this is vash. He came from space and he's missing an arm and has a murderous sibling. And he's sad" like bro why you telling me these things
Mura @shizamura@Necrobatty like how cool was it to find out that the reason vash could pull seemingly superhuman feats of speed and precision was BECAUSE he was super human. To find he had been wandering the desert for waaaayyyy too long? There seems to be no mystery left, only spectacular battles that teach us very little about the characters
@shizamura the world and how we react to struggle and they react to struggle is a fundemental human trait, so removing that slow struggle over time from Vash for immediate truama (in terms of pacing) changes character profiles and themes imo
A more explicitly sad vash could be interesting, as a person who enjoys the Saddest of Trauma Peeps. I actually enjoyed the tired reporter guys story and arc a lot more but i already forgot his name so sorry reporter guy you were the best part for me
@shizamura
Watched the anime years ago and you very much find out he is cheerful to survive his immense pain. And that was part of life. Life was the point. His backstory reveal tied it all together. Making him sad uwu boy from space could have worked if the core places and people where worked into the same core theme of choosing to struggle to live is greater than death... a therapy anime perhaps?
But then you would have to not flex the animation budget on action scenes as much hmmmm
