How anyone could defend the Death Note adaptation with a straight face is frustrating. It is literally the epitome of manga-to-movie, disrespecting source material by turning a property with an established fanbase, lore, and characters into something worse. It's not even "so bad it's good", it's just utter filth moviemaking. Plot holes, awful audio, bad CGI, horrible script, meaningless tripe. It had absolutely nothing to say.

Whether that's Wingard's fault (it is) or Masi Oka's, they both share responsibility for the pile of shit they created. I normally wouldn't have much faith that a westernized Mega Man movie would work, but Oka being attached actually somehow makes me even less optimistic after Death Note.

You know, this makes me think...i wonder if the artist who did the bad box megaman 1 art knows the legacy and iconic status of their creation.

Would it matter if he did? The character itself was supposed to be a tongue-in-cheek reference.

Man, if i had designed bad box art megaman and it became what it has become i would be proud as fuck even if the iconic status was due to my shittiness at art.

And he also produced Netflix's Death Note. Megaman is fucked.

Haven't watched the Netflix version yet. Is it as bad as the live action Japanese movies?

I think it had something to say, just that you didn't like what it was saying.

I had way too much fun with the Death Note Netflix movie, bring it on.

So much to say that you had to leave it unsaid.

They actually put in a line like that? oh boy.

Eh.. I don't know, live action doesn't look promising. If it's animated, then I probably would be intrigued to watch it. Either way I'll keep my eye out for it.. If it does go live action hopefully it won't turn out like the DBZ film.

I assume this guy is really big on games, as one year at E3 I was in an interview at Square Enix's stand and they temporarily paused my interview so the developers of whatever game it was (some Final Fantasy or Kingdom Hearts spin-off of some description - it was years ago) could go out and meet this guy, ha.
