Yeah, that pretty much goes for all of Cowboy Bebop, along with all anime really.
Let's talk about the Cowboy Bebop live action some more
- Thread starter Ezekiel
- Start date
"Not only was she a completely different height and build..."
"First off, no amount of training is gonna make you six inches taller..."
Faye is 5'6"
Daniella is 5'5"
She didn't even look six feet tall within the style of the show. It's as I thought. He just selects movies and shows for the views and doesn't actually know much about them a lot of the time. Says he started watching the show towards the beginning of the video and uses cartoon footage not even from the show.

It was fine at best, meaning 5/10. The show was light and moved along fast enough to be just entertaining enough to continue watching. I really couldn't care less that it already got cancelled, there's far better things to watch anyway.
Chris Stuckmann's video mentioned how it was her 1st acting credit and she was really excited to play the character. I found the scene pretty cringe but in like 2 seconds after watching it, I was like there's probably no real good way to play that character because a cartoon character acting like that is fine (exaggerated animations) but a human trying to do the same physicality is just not gonna come off well. I'm sure they could have reworked the character toning down the physical idiosyncrasies to a small handful to be more human and still kept Ed as the same character. But, of course, that's too much to ask for a character getting 1 or 2 minutes of screen time. Like Chris said in his video, I hope fans don't attack her social media and make her feel like the worst human being alive, though I'm sure people already did that.
Daniella's take on Faye was honestly one of the things I was fine with. As were her two co-stars(John Cho is a little old for the role but I can overlook that). It's a lot of the rest of the show that I felt needed some/much improvement.
Just learned Keiko Nobumoto, the screenwriter of the original show, passed away a couple of weeks ago. RIP.
John Cho equally isn't as tall and lanky looking as Spike, and Mustafa Shakir isn't built like Dwayne Johnson, as was Jet's build, either. Yet somehow I doubt most of these reactionary channels are going to bring that up as much as Faye's physique and how much we can see of it.
I recommend everyone watch part 2 of Bennett's video, there is so much to unpack here. It goes a lot deeper than you realize or think.
I have more thoughts to add on this, but for now, enjoy this random image I found trawling the internet.
