Facebook soccer moms and cat ladies past the 30yo brick wall who want to feel young and trendy again

Does she look like Motoko Kusanagi, Sup Forums?

This movie won't make more than 400-600 million. Absolute max.

...

>SJWs tear this apart and give it bad press
>Anime fans won't touch this
>Normies might not care, especially with movies like Fast 8 coming out soon
>The movie is a big flop and anime is left alone by Hollywood
>Hollywood can continue ruining comic books and remaking other movies while anime is safe

Feels good.

It might stand a chance in China

>"More convincing than SJ"

>Asian

Probably never watched the movie

...

Still gonna see it, it looks visually interesting enough to see on the big screen and it will be passable as entertainment.

...

and people call scarjo "ghost in the taco bell" , get a load of that fatty frame

>and people call scarjo "ghost in the taco bell" , get a load of that fatty frame
Meooooow!

...

>anime fans
>sjw

so no one that matters, what matters is if that normal people go and watch it

*sniffs*

Yes, yes quite pungent indeed m'dear

What does this one even mean?

just because some pointy-headed marketing drobe comes up with a stupid ad campaign doesn't mean there's a market for it. these people are increasingly isolated from consensus reality. they have to be, to working in that industry today.

In the trailer for SJ's new dark comedy movie ''Rough Night'' one of the characters accidentally kills a male sex worker which sparked a bit of a controversy.

The autistic retards on Sup Forums who made 10 threads back-to-back of this stupid shit

Ah. Thanks user.

butthurt weebs and sjw is enough for me to see it. can't wait. and then talk about how good it was afterwards.

one of ScarJo's new movies involves four girls killing a male stripper by accident and then trying to cover it up.

(it's portrayed as funny I think.)

damn, I was way too late there

sorry

>interesting
>passable

New ghost in the shell looks like a shitty RoboCop 2013 reboot for gender warriors with ripped off visuals
If they're going to make gits why not do it accurately? The original version is pure kino

Don't you get it? With the popularization of anime it means more budget for shows to be made and anyone involved in the process. Specially cyberpunks if GitS demonstrates it's profitability.

The original is too slowly paced. Even the climactic tank scene has a rhythm of tense silence with brief bursts of gunfire.

The plot also deliberately avoids any kind of black and white morality. Even though they're the protagonists, Section 9 might as well be the secret police. It purposefully presents the not-too-far future as alien and uncertain.

They're aiming at a wide demographic so all of the above has to be scrapped in favor of something simpler.

What the fuck? That's literally an all female rip off of Very Bad Things

remember that 90's FOTNS movie?

How is this any different?

lmao just saw this shit
sankakucomplex.com/2017/03/16/ghost-in-the-shell-promotion-backfires/

Overseas revenue has gone up a lot, even higher than the previous historic high of 2006, but that's actually not a good thing.

Fist of the North Star american movie was b-tier production, this cost dozens of millions of dollars.

Everything is going all female / all black rip off nowdays user. The times of the white male is over.

Regular people I guess

is Stand Alone Complex good? I don't know shit about anime but I always liked the film.

Yes and no.
It's shonen-shit, but still among the better shonen-shit.
It's worth a watch if you liked movie 1&2

I liked it.

It's pretty funny that the marketing is backfiring, considering that its sort of like something a hacker, or character in the TV show would do. It makes Hollywood look dumb for trying to resell an anime. They should have known their audience would get mad at remaking a classic. I really hope nobody goes to see this movie. There are so many nerds that can write (and draw) better than any jew in Hollywood.

God damn it.

...

It's a bit more stereotypical "anime" than the movies, for example, you may not like the Major's skimpy outfit, I don't. But the stories and plotpoints are fucking retarded good. Still pretty good action, and eventually some damn good philosophy as well.

simply epic trolling good sir

Just whipped this one up, thoughts?

>unironically reading shitkaku

even Sup Forums would be fucking ashamed

fucking kek

Market is bottom of the barrel normies who think anime like dbz was 'cool' and who are in to marvel movies because everyone else likes them so they must too. Basically sheeple.

You have to give it to them though, this ad campaign has given them a shit ton of exposure, and like they say, any press is good press.

Knowing nothing about GITS, I think the movie looks visually interesting, and THICC ScarJo gets me going.

I might see it during a matinee if I don't have anything else going on (and I usually don't)

I would almost say that Ghost in the Shell occupies a niche that isn't really needed any more, because real life has become just as interesting as what science fiction tries to portray. 2016 was the year meme wizards on Sup Forums who worship a digital frog god got Donald Trump elected president of the United States, and when we found out that every policy made by the president of South Korea was actually being made a feminist secret society, and when Microsoft had to shut down their twitter AI in less than 24 hours when it became a Hitler loving sex robot.

>wizards on Sup Forums who worship a digital frog god got Donald Trump elected president of the United States

tell me you don't actually believe this

>you may not like the Major's skimpy outfit
yeah I noticed that in the screenshots and thought it was kind of obnoxious. still gonna give it a look, though.

>sheeple

Fuck off cucks.

>Sup Forums got Trump elected
This just isn't true though

I rewatched that once and stopped the movie when a black guy said "he will be fist of the north star"

>meme wizards on Sup Forums who worship a digital frog god got Donald Trump elected president of the United States

You want to know how I know you're retarded?

You don't believe that online social media influences people? Companies spend huge amounts of money making sure that people online are talking about them the right way, and countries like Russia have government agencies devoted to it.

Sup Forums was one of the biggest hubs of Trump support on the internet, and Sup Forums has millions of unique visitors every day. It might not have been THE tipping point, but it wasn't insignificant.

>Will the movie flop? Anime fans hate it and SJWs don't support it. Who IS the market for this crap?

are those the only two markets to you?

...

Hollywood has never once in the history of mankind adapted any anime/manga stuff well and they never will. They will also never learn.

You are simply fucking delusional. Most of Sup Forums's userbase is underage so can't even vote, a lot of those "millions" are not from the US and there are the apoliticals as well, not even counting the Trumpposters who are doing it for the memes and would never vote on Trump or anybody. Most of the Trumpvoters have been anti-establishment people and uneducated retards who never heard of Sup Forums or Sup Forums. This site means fucking nothing, don't even compare it to the fakenews industry that's operated by states.

You have no idea what youre talking about.
dont you DARE reply to me AGAIN.

>haha guys my memes changed the world

ok

Teehee

The fucking Democratic Party presidential candidate talked about Pepe the Frog on MSM. You're the one who's delusional if you think both parties weren't watching Sup Forums just as much as they were watching Reddit/Facebook/Twitter.

It's really slow with alot of side episodes, it all builds up eventually into a decent conspiracy plot.

The second season is alot more focused with everyone's back story including the Major's explored. Way better than the first. She also stops wearing that fucking skimpy outfit which no one even questions.

>shampagne

>why is muh super serious Major half naked?
I'd love to see you faggots reaction to manga Major.

In the minds of retarded flyovers, "Sup Forums" still means "pedophiles who are also terrorists"

With Hilldawg's level of desperation, do you really think that if Sup Forums was a significant figure in the election that she wouldn't have referred to him as "Sup Forums's candidate" or something similar?

You're one of those retards that think Trump is going to be working for people like you, aren't you?

The original GitS manga is seinen.

"Pedos who are also terrorists" sums up this place pretty well

i'm not really sure that my reaction would exceed "this is dumb"

Why the fuck isn't she 'THE' Major? What's the reason for dropping it?

"Fans" hate it for the wrong reason.

Not casting an Asian is a poor reason to hate a western film.

Because they renamed her Major Mira Killian. It's easier to just re-brand her character as "Major" then ever actually use her name.

They had significant effect on social media man. That shit reached Facebook for fucks sake

To be fair that's pretty much how it is in the Anime. It took me a couple of rewatches to even remember what her name is since every character just calls her Major.

>are those the only two markets to you?

no one else cares.

I don't mind sexualisation, if all the characters want to strut around in Bikinis and Speedos thats fine.

But when you have the Prime Minister, Chief and Togusa in full suits and then Major just standing there in a swimsuit it's not sexy, it's hilarious.

fuck off gataroblyad

I don't really care that the Major is played by a white woman, seeing how she looks very "International" in the animated movie and SAC.

However what I do care about is who they got to play her and the fact that they changed her name in some weird way to please the SJW just makes me angry. Change the name of the entire movie while you're at it, call it soul in the frame. Bend over and spread your ass wider then you thought possible

Even you, gentle shills, are part of Kek's Chaotic plan.

There is a reason why Mamoru Ohio made Masamune Sharon lose the rights to the franchise

What do you mean lose the rights?

Yes yes, skeletons are underrated, stop posting

Imagine how sad your life would be if you paid money and spent time to watch a movie just to shitpost

>yfw marketers acted like spamming images from the .me site wasn't marketing

My bad, the original creator did not lose the rights to the franchise. He only lost creative control

>This movie won't make more than 4-6 times its budget. Absolute max

... oh... no... what ever will they... do

Nothing about it is shonen. Why the fuck do you offer your opinion if you have no idea what you're talking about?

I'm guessing that they simply agreed that he would leave all creative decisions regarding the movie to Oshii & the anime staff.

>With the popularization of anime it means more budget for shows to be made and anyone involved in the process.

Except every time something like this has happened (more money means we can do more!), the new money is never devoted to what made the original medium popular/successful in the first place, but spent entirely on targeting demographics that weren't interested in the original products. Movies and video games, right now, are primarily targeting people who don't want to watch a movie or play a video game, because there are more of those people than there are people who actually give a fuck about any sort of commercialized entertainment.

You should've seen this happen at least once if you're over 18. Either as an original fan or a newly targeted fan, while the original fans resent you and the content creators for targeting you.

and the show strips out all of the themes concepts (and porn) that made it seinen.

All rights, Masamune had no input in the movies, SAC, arise and I know for sure he had no input in this movie as well

>describing two different groups as one group

Go fuck yourself with a rake.

to be fair, shirow is more interested in things like this anyway.

It seems more like GitS was more an effort to create tech-porn that eventually turned into an actual narrative that people enjoyed more than the porn, when shirow just wanted to make porn.
