    True enough, but when you ask someone what they think of Lupin, they'd probably refer to it as action-comedy. A kind of James Bond-meets-Looney Tunes, rather than the moody psychosexual noir story that 'The Woman Named Fujiko Mine' is.


    That said, it's still good.

    I actually should watch that sometime.

    If you asked someone what they thought of Lupin, they'd probably blink and scratch their head. If you ask someone what they thought about Batman, you'd get actual vocalisations. 


    I dunno, I'm generally just a supporter of "going back to basics" on a lot of things. Lupin was altered, I think, for a different audience given his new medium at the time, and this is an opportunity to use the same medium now that it's taken more seriously as an avenue for a more adult-oriented story to be told. I don't want silly Lupin to disappear entirely, but I don't think that'll happen anyway. 


    A lot of things benefit from being reset to a neutral starting point, after all. For instance, the second Hulk movie. Even though the more accessible Lupin stuff is considered a classic in its own right, unlike the 2003 Hulk film, it had a good run with at least one brilliant feature length outing (possibly more, but I can't remember), so I think it's high time to give the character space to be something a bit different -- or, depending on how you look at it, the same. 


    no this does not come from my desire to see every Alien comic burned and erased from memory, also resurrection

    I don't see why you'd think this, unless of course you mean the general populace and that's just because Lupin isn't as popular. Among fans, Lupin has a pretty specific tone.

    The thing is, the original comic is pretty campy and silly too. And I think it was more that Hayao Miyazaki didn't want to make the hero of his story an actual rapist. I don't think going back to basics isn't always a good thing. The original comics were pretty rough. They're not quite bad but the cartoon overtook it for a reason.


    Just a note, there's a special for Lupin (that keeps the camp tone) that comes out about once a month, so I don't think it's just an era divide, especially since Lupin's comedy was always very adult-oriented if camp.


    In other news.

    The fact that it isn't a spin-off makes me tentatively hopeful since the  character is a perfect fit for tv.


    Also, Game of Thrones director Dave Nutter.

    Wait a minute! I already have a huge backlog! This gives me more time to read that shit before it comes out.

    I am like five books behind so  this doesn't really affect me.


    But I guess it's bad that it is being delayed anyway.

    One foot in front of the other, every day.

    Films/games that have to happen, according to Alex:



    • Voltron. Either as a feature film or multiplayer game. Try and tell me it wouldn't be awesome. 

    • The heavy metal band Manowar get thrown through time and space, landing in Viking Age Scandinavia. There, they forge a kingdom built on metal, honour, the power of steel and the blood of many worthy adversaries. 

    • A strong modern adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula. The 1994 one was terrible. 

    • The Christian Apocalypse happens. Enter one Welsh citizen's quest to find King Arthur's grave and awaken him in the nick of time, rising again to defend his people in their hour of greatest need. Exactly as promised. 

    • Halo, as reinterpreted via that one bit in Halo Legends about the child soldiers. 

    • Warhammer 40k from the perspective of downtrodden Imperial Guardsmen. 

    • Why isn't there a Vampire Hunter D game yet? For Christ's sake. 

    • An accurate-to-life Renaissance combat game, which means that any weapon may contain a gun if you so desire. Also, robot knights, because Da Vinci honest-to-goodness designed that shit and oh my god history is so cool I can't make this shit up. 

    • A sequel to the live-action Mario movie.

    No, no, it's not enough that I play a 4/4 beat over a highly active 3/8-5/8 polyrhythm; let's add a fuckton of ghost notes! I don't know how Haake does it.
