I dunno if this is a hot-take, but: I have zero confidence and hopes for the currently in development Voltron live-action movie. Time and time again Hollywood has demonstrated they suck at adapting anime style stories, they don't understand their essence nor appeal... The only Hollywood director who DID get it, was Guillermo Del Toro, and he's a Mexican whom grew watching those kind of stories.

It's not a hot take. I think most people have a VERY healthy amount of skepticism around the film. Even with live-action manga and anime adaptations finally not sucking (One Piece being a huge hit, Drops of God being an award winner, Alice in Borderland being the show everyone watched after Squid Game, and at the very least, Yu Yu Hakusho and City Hunter being fun adaptations that got the cores right even if the former was an extremely abridged version of the anime), giant robots still give Western writers brainworms. Like their minds shut down and they become irrationally angry if they see a giant robot more complicated than a refrigerator on legs from Battletech. The decline of the Transformers over the 2010s from brainless action movies to BORING TV shows and comics (thank God for Skybound, because Daniel Warren Johnson gets mecha!) is sort of proof of that, not to mention, Voltron's most recent entry hating mecha and everyone who's ever had a robot toy.

I have a few things that are keeping me from going "This will be absolute garbage" to "this might, possibly work, but it's going to need everything to come together and Western writers to overcome their brain shutdown when the giant robot appears." The budget is undeniably big, to the point the Queensland Minister of the Arts applauded the sheer amount of money being invested into the local economy. The producer and director allegedly HATE Legendary Defender. And it's got a cast that doesn't have Jared Leto, like Masters of the Universe sadly does.

To be fair, my whole feeling about the whole affair is pretty much -

I want it to be good, but my skepticism is through the roof.

Well, they are filming in Australia. Despite his failed WWE run, Nathan Jones has carved out a solid and respectable niche of playing the heavy in numerous films, including Mortal Kombat as Reiko and Rictus Erectus in both Mad Max Fury Road and Furiosa. We apparently can add Voltron to that list, where he will likely be playing some sort of alien super soldier. (The IMDB lists "Super Soldier" next to the role).

Wrestling interviews where they don’t break kayfabe are so funny because it’ll just be like normal sports interview shit until the guy is like well when my buddy Blade Daniels accepted the dark crystal into his heart I thought it was all over

Uh-oh.

Speaking as someone who’s liked some of his work, The Deuce in particular, we’ve been Morbed.

Do You Know This Anime?

Idk if this is a controversial take but I think you should be able to take a test to prove you have the relevant knowledge for a degree and if you pass the test, you get the degree. They do that for high school, why is college any different?

Like let's not kid ourselves, school is for credentials and literally everything that needs credentials that are entirely just 'do you have this core knowledge' can be dealt with this way. Anything that has practical elements can just have the practical elements as classes you can take piecemeal, like CPR training already is, and then you also have to pass a written test.

There's very little reason we need to stick people in a company town (university campus) and pay them in scrip (grades) and make them buy from the company store (tuition) other than to erect unnecessary and inhumane and unjust barriers to knowledge.

If four years of high school can be expressed in test form, then four years of university can too.

remember that interviews are not about giving a good and honest first impression that they'll carefully consider. interviews are about saying the special words and phrases they're looking for that give you points and when they tally those up whoever earned the most job points wins
