Kite looked too depressing for me so I skipped that anime. I don't think I'll watch the LA adaptation either.
Nah, a part of the Kingpin character is his girth (to which he has a complex about), which the late Mr. Duncan had in the form of extremely large... everything. Granted it was all muscle, but if he was wearing a suit, he'd look more fat than buff. Johnson's body doesn't quite match the consistency to suggest that given his broader shoulders.SlightlyEvil said:Come to think of it, since MCD is no longer with us, Johnson would be a pretty good Kingpin. Especially since they're working on a Daredevil series.The Gentleman said:...
Yeah, I think he could be Luthor. Can you imagine him in a fitted suit? Hell, say what you will about the Daredevil movie, Michael Clark Duncan did work decently as a slightly slimmed down Kingpin. All you need is a director willing to effectively force Johnson to speak in a more eloquent (or even a forced eloquent) voice.
I don't know about you, but last time I checked, Jon Stewart was Jewish.Leonardo Huizar said:Hey Bobby, His name is Green Lantern *John Stewart*, Not the "Black GL" That is not the 1st time you did "that" when mentioning him.
You know the Not a Racist towards black americans, killer of GL corp, destroyer of govt property and his own movie franchise.
The Marine, guy who used his construction expertise to design the watchtower, 2nd oldest earthborn GL, and one of top instructors of the GL corp
Kite was an OVA from the 90s that sort of acted like a prototype for the later OVA and anime series Mezzo Forte. Not the same franchise, but the same creators.

The anime was amazing. Great story and has probably one of the most evil lines ever (in the dubbed version) used in an anime film.-Dragmire- said:Kite looked too depressing for me so I skipped that anime. I don't think I'll watch the LA adaptation either.
Why wouldn't they revolt for Dwayne Johnson? I mean, his skin ain't that color because he tans.The Gentleman said:Could you imagine Duncan as Luthor though? That would be interesting, if only to hear the internet racists go berserk.
My heart is kinda easily hooked by many types of media, so I go for more lighthearted things. Nodame Cantabile is more my type of anime.porpoise hork said:The anime was amazing.

"You'll never understand how much watching other people's pain gets me off. Hearing their screams and knowing that I have the power of a god."
It was picked up and used in "Pretty Toy" by Velvet Acid Christ. Absolutely evil line, love it.
But a live action?
ehhh..
uh...
no....
What? No no no no. The Rock isn't going to be Lex Luthor:MovieBob said:Junk Drawer 2014

Yeah, and it would be hard enough to adapt a 45 minute OVA (60 if you count the hentai scenes) that fetures exploding bullets, corrupt cops, rape, and the main concept of child assassins. Seriously, I get that Samuel L. Jackson is in it and he probably actually watched Kite or at least knows about anime so he can help make the movie an american cultural adaptation of what is probably a concept with a lot of Japanese foreign concepts but unless they aim for an extreme violence and grit audience, it will just seem like a pale shadow of the original (seriously, the hand has a hole the size of the palm and the blood is minimal, I doubt they will do the rape of Sawa or any of the other infamous scenes). Seriously, the only way to have a worse project would be to do a trilogy of Kill La Kill movies (despite the pandering, there is a bit of brain and cultural symbolism behind each character and I bet that the glove will cause cry of rage since it's can be loosely related to suicide which does not has much of a stigma in Japan).Fappy said:Live-action Kite. Why?
WHY!?
I'm sorry, but the rape scene in both versions of Girl with a Dragon Tattoo was enough for me. I'd prefer not to see where a Kite adaptation takes that >.>
