Sword Art Online American series

ign.com/articles/2016/08/02/sword-art-online-live-action-tv-series-announced

This has surely been discussed before. But since there's so much talk of anime adaptations right now, particularly GITS, it seems like a good time to talk about this upcoming show.

Any opinions?

It's shit

It's shit right?

>live action
stop doing this

I just don't care.

>SAO
>live action
It would be shit

SAO is trash as it is, why make it even worse?

Fucking murican weebs what the hell? do they enjoy paying to eat shit or what?

Contrary to what most people here are saying, I think this could turn out bretty gud, since the original premise is interesting and you can't really get any worse than the original r-right?.

This time I'm actually hoping they do what they always do with these shit western adaptations and ignore all the source material while just keeping the basic premise.

Just what we need, another endless circlejerk over another shitty western adaptation.

Well, it can't be MORE shit, right?

What?

No harem?

No tentacle rape?

No Death Gun?

Blasphemy.

Alright let's approach this from another angle

How could a live action Hollywood SAO be any WORSE than the original?

This.
There is chance they will fuck it up in a way that ends up good.

Also, who will play Asuna?

SAO was a mistake.

...

>r-right

Oh, you'd be surprised

You mean, like what they did to Edge of Tomorrow?
Yeah, I can live with that.

Black Kirito

Rape Pixie is bisexual and keeping Asuna and Klein as his rape dungeon slaves.

Only the first one seems possible.

Edge of Tomorrow and All you Know is Kill are both pretty good.

SAO is fucking trash so making a trash adaptation won't ruin it since there's nothing to ruin

Like I don't know, I guess you could argue that Mother's Rosario has artistic merit, if you're a retard

It's going to end up more like The Last Airbender though.

It'll be the cringiest shit and will probably be forced to have some tumblr tier shit going on
Can't wait to see a transexual dragonkin or something want to fuck some white guy

>Black Kirito
>The Black Swordsman.
Eyup.

Deathgun would be amusing at least.

The rest being purged would make SAO a boring 6/10 not worth remembering rather than the -5/10 that triggers people to this day

>Black Kirito
That solves a major plothole. Now we know why he's called the Black Swordsman

Nah. They have Agil for token black person.

>SAO is fucking trash
The novels are actually pretty good.
They just need to focus on interesting things instead of shit like anime did.

Is it going to be following Progressive or what?

My sides

>novels are pretty good
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Now watch as someone shills Progressive which "solves' SAO having Kirito as a Gary Stu by making Asuna a Mary Sue too(though not at Kirito's level, god forbid)

Actually, Progressive makes things worse.

Equality solves everything though.

Or at least makes people tolerate it.

You can literally only go up with SAO, it's fucking trash.

I remember one of the arcs ended with Kirito outright losing to the sniper girl but got rewritten to have him tie even though their fight was meaningless and with no stakes

Well, it could be okay. I'm sure it won't beat Kite as the worst American adaptation of anime ever.

...

Thanks A-1 pictures.

>Yuuki won through time rather than curbstomping Kirito

Progressive is better in that it at least shows more MMO shit, not that the universe doesn't continue to bend over backwards for Kirito and Asuna and their special snowflake status.
>that fucker still has not lost out on a single LA bonus yet

This.
Kirito will be whatever white A-list actor they can grab a hold of.
Asuna will be the Japanese waifu played by a Korean.
And Agil is your token black guy.
Fill the rest of the cast with whatever ethnicities you want, the major bases are already covered.
Inb4 they cast Jesse Eisenberg as Kayaba.

Trying to fit in too hard, everyone knows the target audience of SAO and it's good at what it does for that age group.

>SAO is bad cause it's popular, d-d-do I fit in yet guys?

>Black Kirito

I could see it happen.

SAO is pretty bad man.

It may get a bit too much but just because the series has "bright points" mean things like tentacle rape, incest, tear licking, and ASADA.wav can be forgiven.
