Yes, but I expected to hear more reasonable justification than just the words about the atmosphere and the “essence”, given that Live Action rewrite the manga on conceptual level, actually creating an alternative version of events.

The atmosphere is a very subjective feeling. Not even to mention what I hardly called "suspenseful and mysterious" a story where you found out personality of the main villain before the plot even reaches the middle. Especially when you are talking about "essence." It is strange to say that the adaptation more faithful to the canon conveys the essence of the original worse than something that significantly rewrites the concepts of things and simply gives you "vibes"

P.S. Speaking of the finale, story hardly makes sense at all. But the anime has not yet reached this, and Live Action conceptually rewrote, so oh boy.

Anime does this much better due to more accurate adaptation. I don’t know how it will be with the finale, though. What in turn Live Action does much better than manga.

I never thought that the doll K -idol appearance would so strengthen the image of a psychopathic maniac in his role. He managed to play a really frightening villain without any terrible appearance.

I have not reached the finals yet, so I don’t know how far they went in history, but the further, the more interesting the life of these women is. I wonder how they adapt this.

Live Action makes a very strong damage control and now Aqua literally becomes "I love to live" dude who, being mortally wounded, collects the last forces and pushes the Kamiki into the water. True, his body was never found, which may create some kind of speculative possibility of a sequel.

Well, manga final directly contradicts the ideas you named. Because in the end, it is the death of Aqua that heavily damaging the mentally of all his loved ones around, and also finally breaks Ruby, turning her into the same person broken inside as their mother. This is literally like a self-filled prophecy, because it was his death that ultimately harmed those whom he wanted to protect. And the worst thing is that the author did not seem to be aware of this at all and portrayed it as a feat. Yes, in this story suicide is a heroic means of solving all problems in a hopeless situation.

Plus, the finale not only romanticizes suicide, but also completely contradicts the entire development of Aqua throughout the manga, rejecting revenge and began to appreciate his life. In general, it is just terrible even at a conceptual level.

It is not surprising that the creators of the Live Action desperately rewrote all this. I do not know who was responsible for this, whether this was a decision of the producers and the movie creators or Aka made a desperate attempt to save the adaptation, but this removed the most terrible implications and delusional things as a whole from the finale, although it could not completely correct things. So, manga and live action are located in different timeline with different logic and sequence of events. If you are trying to explain the film using manga, this is an erroneous solution.

I like the idea of ​​a film about how even real monsters can become inaccessible to justice and law if they are lucky for one reason or another to get power or a high position. Although the film also emphasizes how fleeting the power and position. Also, a rare film where the North Korean character is shown as high-moral hero and at the same time not being a defector.

You're just looking at wrestling purely from a martial arts perspective when it's primarily a mixture of theatrical entertainment and sport. It did grow out of certain Western American schools of wrestling (although the traditions of fair wrestling can be traced back to Russia or France), but is now a martial arts-based sporting entertainment.

Because the point of wrestling is to give you a realistic, quality fight with a good story. One that you will believe in and that will not result in injury or death to wrestlers in the process.

Think of it as a mixture of action theater and stunt work.

Hardcore wrestling is at the peak of this because wrestlers are on the verge of staging and real harm. Just like in a brutal realistic action movie, where the stuntmen have to make you believe in the brutal action shown and at the same time protect themselves as much as possible. Just imagine the difficulty of safely depicting someone falling from a height of 3-4 meters onto scattered pushpins, for example.

It's funny to hear gossip about her cheating, when the only role you know her from is a very shy babyface character.

Hardcore wrestling is usually what you show to those who complain that wrestling is fake and lacks real violence.

Many people watched the live action for the ending, and while they didn't take any drastic steps, they still fixed some of the things fans hated about the ending.

Well, until they get to the end, the anime is clearly the most expensive entry in this franchise. Even the author himself was shocked by the popularity of the anime and, according to speculation, this made strong adjustments to further work on the manga.

Judging by the changes in timing and context, the series was largely aimed at people who had already read the manga and watched the anime.

This dialogue is especially funny in the context of the movie, when you realize that they did a huge amount of damage control to, if not change, at least correct some of the shitty writing of the manga ending that fans were complaining about.

Also, do not forget that the very first viewers are always the most motivated, so the first ratings will always be inflated. Of course, only if we are not talking about haters and very controversial things.

I have no complaints about the live action, they kept the manga's lame ending, but at least tried to rewrite it enough to remove many of the manga's toxic implications and bullshit decisions. But the final film still failed due to fan disappointment.

Yes, a surprising freshness compared to the clunky writing and cynicism of Oshi no Ko, which ended around the same time as the anime adaptation of this story.

So you really just threw it out as a random "take that" without any intent? Eh, I thought you would be better prepared. What a shame.
