or if they dont wanna do that. He could atleast be KeanuFaye will most likely be asian Spike could go either way. EDIT: Ops missed the post a few above mine. Yeah Spike should be played by an Japanese actor.

The people behind this are legit garbage in terms of content. I mean talk about two many cooks in a kitchen.
My reaction after reading your post:FUCK YES
this is no way tarnishes the amazing series. what if they nail it? let's gamble it
Is it stealthy fuck Marvel? What does Marvel has to do with Netflix's live-action of Cowboy Bebop anyway? Also, off the top of my head, Ennis' Punisher MAX, King's Vision, Brubaker's Cap, rather easily I must say.On the other, I mean Cowboy Bebop is much better than anything I have read / watched by Marvel, so I feel they should give it premium treatment, but I don't think that is happening?
Funny enough, I think Terry Crews would be perfectly cast as Alex Louis Armstrong in a FMA adaptation.Terry Crews for Jet.
... fuck it, Terry Crews for everyone. Including Ein.
Eh I mean he probably has an extremely minor role based on that job tittle. Even if he didn't, he's not exactly a live action director, and his best works are behind him at this point.
I don't think anyone is actually expecting it to happenLOL @ Anybody thinking they're going to cast an Asian actor as Spike.
Well that's a straight up lie. But to each their own.
Pretty much, CB is the first series he directed and it's still his magnum opus. His last work doesn't inspire much confidence either.
I want to live in a world were space dandy, kids on the slope, samurai chaploo gets the props they deserve (no one can say those shows are outright bad or not up to his talent). Plus his new show looks really interesting.Pretty much, CB is the first series he directed and it's still his magnum opus. His last work doesn't inspire much confidence either.
It's has a pretty lifeless connotation to it in all honesty."Live action", how I've come to despise these 2 words over the years.
Only Samurai Champloo has the quality close to the CB though. It's unfortunate it never had a chance to have the same kind of impact. Space Dandy is, imo, a mixed bag and Kids on a Slope, while good, not nearly as ambitious.I want to live in a world were space dandy, kids on the slope, samurai chaploo gets the props they deserve.
TiR is a trash fire. The only interesting part about it is hypotheticals of what could've been if execution was better and themes that were established would've been actually explored.Though Terror of Resonance was a risk that didn't pay off in full.
I definitely think Faye will likely be cast as Asian, because Hollywood seems to have no problem casting Asian American/Western actresses in supporting roles.

Was there anything in the show that hints that Spike is Asian? Faye or Vicious I can see it (and of course the Red dragon people like Ling), but Spike I can't remember honestly.
Spike could've had a uniquely Japanese first and last name and it would've been Anglicized in the adaptation and cast with a White guy.No, however Spike's design was created with Japanese actor Yusaku Matsuda in mind.
Why would TC sell you? as Jet? like in a ironic sense?I support Death Note and I don't give a fuck about everything else but I hate this. Cowboy Bebop is sacred.
Fake edit: Wait, no. Terry Crews as Jet just sold me.
Yeah, TC fits Armstrong from FMA much better. The Rock, Vin Diesel, Batista, or even Trevante Rhodes would fit Jet much better. Not that they're going to get cast or anything.

NoUh...ok. Not like this will blink my anime Blu-rays out of existence if it sucks. In the off chance it's good, more people exposed to Bebop?
Seriously no. No way they can live up to the original.
And 10 episodes? Like what they'll be 55 min each, cpndensing several original episodes in 1?
I'll wait and see but gut feeling says its gonna be real bad.
