Hah. Like Netflix is ever going to approve a third season of anything ever again.
They have twenty to go, tops.
Capitalists own assets for a living and extract labor value in the form of profit. In this case, the intellectual property.
Laborers actually do the work to create the product.
You do not need someone else to own the art for it to be created. You do need labor for it to be created. Hope that clears it up for ya.
Except laborers are also capitalists. I’m a laborer, and trust me when I say there’s plenty of people here on Lemmy who think I’m a dirty fucking useless capitalist because I need to spend money to survive, or chose to purchase a luxury, or offset my labor by requesting compensation in money form from another person.
90,000 different definitions here on Lemmy of what people think capitalism is and what a capitalist is, I’m weary at this point from all the disparate ideas of what this notion even is. It’s ludicrous. It doesn’t matter to people what it ACTUALLY MEANS becuase its become a sudonym for people hatred of money in general (which I share).
So no, you don’t get to have a world where somebody drew a comic for fun and profited off of it, but that’s somehow NOT capitalism, then somehow when Netflix making a live show, is 100% different and suddenly capitalism. It’s fucking stupid to even suggest. They are both capitalists. Even if the artist is not the IP holder, they have been a cog in the system which holds the IP regardless and as such are constituent.
You just don’t have class consciousness my friend and some of the terminology associated. That’s fair, it’s not always easy and it’s also purposely obscured from you.
It’s easiest to think about people in two classes. Workers and Owners. There’s a bit of gray area, but it’s a very useful distinction. How do you make most of your money; owning property/factories/ip, or selling your labor for a wage?
Profit is not the same thing as “making money”. It’s explicitly the extra money made by the capitalist after material and labor is paid. You pay 3 dollars of labor and 2 dollars of materials to make 6 dollars of revenue, you have made 1 dollar of profit. Arguably that dollar of value was made by the worker, but extracted by the capitalist.
Obviously the workers don’t do it for free, but the capitalist still isn’t making the art. **The workers do. You aren’t a capitalist. You have false solidarity with your masters.
Well, it’s not like an anime episode is the same as a live action episode though.
An anime episode is like 20 minutes of content after you remove the opening and recap and ending. And if you remove all the filler and repeating scenes, it’s maybe 5-10 minutes of actual content. They adapted like 45-50 episodes into 8, and the first saga is probably one of the most dense in terms of content.
For the future, I fully expect a 10:1 ratio between anime episodes and live episodes. Maybe even more.
That would still mean more than 12 seasons to go, before catching up to now, with who knows how many more before the series ends.
Based on my research, the first season of the Netflix live action show (8 episodes) covers the first 61 anime episodes. At this rate, the live action show could still continue for 17 more seasons.
In all seriousness, the more I think about it, the more perfect this anime was for adaptation. There’s a ton of filler in the anime, but otherwise good story beats and character development. When you condense that down, you get all the good and leave out the cruft.
I watched all of the live action show this weekend, and really enjoyed it. I figured the anime tone and goofiness that they clearly baked right into it would work against it like all the other live action anime adaptations, but it feels like it’s a lot less of a quick cash grab than the others. Some real love and attention went into it and it’s a lot of fun.
When you condense that down, you get all the good and leave out the cruft.
Let’s hope they’ll keep Little Buggy’s Great Adventure. That filler was hilarious.
Nah it’s actually decent.
Then again I didn’t get the cowboy bebop hate either. It was okay? Like not OMFG THIS IS THE GREATEST SHOW OF ALL TIME, but it wasn’t as shit as people claim it was. I fairly enjoyed the show, even after rewatching the anime right before.
One Piece actually captures the flow and the mood of the anime. It is over the top, like the anime, but realistically toned down so it doesn’t seem like it’s trying too hard. The pace is good and the changes to the story seem coherent to adapting as an live action and for people who have heard of One Piece but never really got into it. The dialogues aren’t literate master pieces but they really do not need to be. The special effects sometimes look a bit weird but they didn’t bother me too much.
Nah, I’ve stopped a number of times this year and I’m already nearing episode 800! I could probably do it all in like 2 months lol
On an unrelated note, I have no life.
For anyone that wants to switch over to the anime now, I suggest: onepace.net
It’s a fan edit where they strip the filler, and try to make it more like the manga.
One Pace is a fan project that recuts the One Piece anime in an endeavor to bring it more in line with the pacing of the original manga by Eiichiro Oda. The team accomplishes this by removing filler scenes not present in the source material, fixing animation errors and correcting subtitles.
