Not much to say
I saw it when it came out and was stoked about the creative plot but front what I remember they just turned the cool concept to a “get from A to B action”.
With all the praise I heard about it later I’m thinking maybe I missed something or remember it wrong but here’s someone else who thinks it bland.
I’m just disappointed in how they turned desty nova from one of my favourite villains, the genius who’s entire motivation is setting up the stage in a weird way and laugh as it unravels even if he gets hurt in the process, into a generic mind controlling final boss type.
With most manga adaptations I find that they water out what makes the characters interesting. Sure a battle manga needs good battle choreography but the reason I’m reading it is because of the characters.
I enjoyed walk the line. In knew very little about Johnny cash going in and out really showed his good and bad.
Could be the other ninja in the picture is hard to find.
Seeing them back to back it felt like a weak asspull, even my kids reacted to it. But I didn’t rewatch the first movie to see if it actually conflicts with original Marty. With it happening constantly in the sequels and never once in the original it’s either poor writing or they changed him. Or both.
Back to the future added that weird “nobody calls me a chicken” shtick to Marty which came out of nowhere and was not present in the first movie. Then they proceeded to rebuild his entire character around it on the sequels.
What about ImageMagick? I feel it does deserve to stay in it’s own comic strip.
