Randomly remembered all those times someone on a forum or wherever would ask, like, "if your comic was ever turned into a movie or a tv-show, what would you want it to be like", and I was always spewing something about obvious answers like Fortiche or whatever

BUT ACTUALLY. That's wrong.

The correct answer is that I would want it to be filmed as one of those film-student-project fan movies. Where no one has any money and their camera isn't stabilized and the 'sets' are all local buildings but everyone is very committed to making it work with what they have. And all the actors are friends or classmates or someone's parents and therefore look especially real and human.

#wanna see some film student whose drive hasn't yet been muted by the industry choreograph some insane fighting #if it looks campy and the blood is obviously fake but the energy is kept 100% then nothing can be better #and I'm not talking polished cosplay music videos with wigs and perfect outfit replicas no-no #get the essence of the characters and if they don't look like they do on pages then that's GOOD #get an actual butch femme couple in their thirties for Jo and Leah #whom you met at a local queer bar and they were down to help you with the film #get the scrawniest most chaotic girl for Lyoka and who cares if her eyebrows are bushy don't fucking pluck or draw them #'cause she as a character sure doesn't (just lacks in that area) and that's her human characteristic #which is more important than the consistency with the picture #get a black girl with glasses to play Nia and just let her straight up keep her own glasses instead of looking for a round frame #Life is Strange's fan films What If and Dawn are honestly my main examples of what I generally mean #pof posting
