It's a pity that you'll never know the context.

I did it. Yeah.

I saw this child in a dream! I drew him! His name is MARTIN!

When he was, like, 2 months old, he fell off a boat into the ocean during a storm. And, obviously, he had to die. But he's not dead! To be honest, there is no reason for this, the logic of children's animated series works here. So instead of drowning or dying in some other way, Martin… just adapted to the underwater life. Now Martin is half-fish. Yes. And he's happy with it! He lived ten wonderful years at the bottom of the ocean, interacting with normal fish and eating normal fish. And then he was accidentally caught by a fisherman (who turned out to be his uncle).

Now that Martin knows that he is human, he is forced to live on land. In a house. With his sister and brother. Martin doesn't like it! Water here is too tasteless. Fried meat is worse than raw meat. Clothes are uncomfortable and it itches skin. He needs TO WALK.

Worst of all, Administration of the local school for some reason decided that the boy who had just been fished out of water was obliged to attend lessons and do his homework. Martin has only recently learned to speak (and he's not good at it). He can't read or write, and he can barely walk.

But, one way or another, Martin is now forced to attend school. It sucks. It's too dry at school, and Martin doesn't understand half of what teachers tell him. But his "friend"-classmate brings him raw seafood for lunch. As always, the education system is working perfectly.

His sister doesn't like her brother who came from the ocean (because he smells disgusting and spoils her reputation). Human society sucks because he can't bite a person's head off if they piss him off. It's too hot in summer. It's too cold in winter. And when it rains outside, he has to sit under the roof. A teasing classmate calls him "the little mermaid."

But Martin does not return to the ocean. At least not every day. Martin hate human society, but gradually his anger passes. Martin is still too grumpy and rude for a 10-year-old child. But he's smiling more and more often. He just needs time to fully adapt.

The original design of the evolved Falconeer for my bro. Because I can. And because I don't have any coffee left.

I often advise my friends to watch a reboot. Usually, as an argument, I cite the fact that this show really has a good plot and interesting characters. But my friends will never know that I fell in love with reboot because of two "unusual" reasons. 1) I watched this show during a period of heightened anxiety in order to fill my head with at least some information and not think about the end of the world. Reboot helped me with this very well, and I respect it for that. 2) Watching reboot literally unblocked my maternal instinct. It was a very strange feeling, but I swear to God, I'm ready to protect these fictional children like my own.

But fate doesn't give you a choice, right?

An ordinary dude who has just watched a bakugan movie enters a fandom (he sees about 60 men and women without jobs or relationships who have devoted their lives to animated toy advertising):

Well, since everyone is talking about the movie today.

What the fuck reason could there be for the existence of a movie? This is not a rhetorical question. What is their plan? And let's forget about motives like "they want to give us a pleasant experience" or "rethink the plot of the original." How are they going to make money from this? Life-action is never cheap, but here they will need decent budgets to show bakugan battles. How is this movie supposed to pay off? Do they hope that nostalgia will be enough? I highly doubt that this factor alone will be enough. Besides, life-action movies have finally begun to enter the era of decline, because the audience is tired of this garbage. So how is a life-action movie based on a God-forsaken anime supposed to pay off? Toy sales? Look at g3, the sale of toys in this franchise is bad right now.

Okay, let's assume that this movie itself will be so cool and interesting that the audience will love it and will gladly go to the cinemas. How? How can this even happen? I basically can't imagine how the plot of this anime can fit into a movie. There are practically no filler episodes in the first season of g1, and even so it lasts more than 15 hours. The script will have to be written almost from scratch, otherwise the plot of this damn movie will turn out to be, well, stupid. But even if they rewrite most of the plot, they'll cut out a bunch of characters and somehow reduce the running time to two hours… They will not be able to completely rewrite the very essence of the original. And this is not a plus! Because the very essence of the original is a bunch of battles without much meaning, the standard salvation of the world and stupid schoolchildren. And that's not exactly what's going to help the MOVIE make money. This is an ideal basis for anime, which is an advertisement for toys. But this is a very unimpressive basis for a film. You can object to me by reminding me that there were a lot of small details in my favorite anime, and in the first season even the characters are well written. But, the problem is… Like I said, to make it into one movie, the screenwriter will have to cut out most of it. And I'm just really not sure that this kind of storyline will really attract viewers. More precisely, the required number of viewers.

However, of course, we all know that some movies don't need a good plot. And the actors. Some movies only need giant monsters punching each other's faces to cool music. There are many such films and they often collect the box office. The problem is that the bakugan movie won't be like that. There won't be enough budget. Cool battles of realistic-looking monsters require a lot of money. Therefore, all such films are now divided into two categories - successful films with a large budget, and failed films with a small budget. Do I need to say that no one will allocate a large budget for a bakugan life-action film?

So what's the end result? A life-action movie (this format is losing popularity) based on God-forsaken anime. The plot of this anime is too long and intense, so it will have to be greatly cut and simplified for the film adaptation. And the battles are likely to be sluggish and, well, as poorly animated as in the original. If not worse, because the budget is clearly not going to be large.

I repeat my question from the beginning of the post. What the fuck is the plan? Is this an attempt to kill the franchise? Will it turn out that some madman poured billions of dollars into the budget of this movie? Is there an advertising campaign waiting for us so crazy that even those who hate the very concept of cinema will go to the bakugan movie? What the fuck is the plan?

I don't understand.
