It has not yet been released with a bad reputation, who did "Saint Seiya" offend?

Although you should not judge the quality of a movie without seeing the original film, combined with the countless precedents of previous anime adaptations, plus the film information that has been exposed so far, "Saint Seiya", which is currently scheduled to be released on April 28, has received far more bad reviews than praise from the day the trailer was released.

Even today, in the superimposed BUFF of "destroying classics" and "ruining childhood" in parallel, classic Japanese picture works such as "Saint Seiya" and "Dragon Ball" that were loved by domestic readers are regarded as precious and undefiled good-

"The leather-textured holy clothes, fully Westernized character facial features, and modern firearms blasting brawl have forced Seiya to become a pioneer in time and space."

This is still a relatively gentle and gentle statement, and more is fiercely attacked, and unceremoniously pointed out that the Japanese are "traitors":

Why did Masami Hayada's "little angels" let the Americans mix?

However, in fact, if someone has seen the Japanese opera "Saint Seiya", they may feel more spicy, but as an art form of indoor performance, opera modeling usually pays attention to artistic conception, so the tolerance is slightly higher, and it is difficult to say in the face of film and television works for the public:

Fuso's Godzilla crossed to the Pacific Ocean, and when the "living" Kakarot arrived there, he automatically switched races, compiled pictures with stories that Americans could understand, and then broadcast them to people all over the world.

But the Japanese who do not have a long memory are still cooperating with the Americans and intend to continue to destroy the classics, but it is a bit too much.

Even if we are neighbors, we can't bear to look at it directly.

Regarding "Saint Seiya", the original domestic comic book was written "Saint Seiya of the Goddess", for the domestic animation industry was not yet developed at that time, in addition to the hard support of Shanghai Meiying and from time to time to produce some boutiques, almost at the same time as the introduction of Japanese comics, a group of domestic anime fans and artists almost one-sidedly imitated the Toei painting style.

If you don't believe it, look back at the big touch in the anime industry today, who hasn't seriously read Japanese manga in their childhood? And who didn't have a Japanese figure with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a pointed chin in his first draft?

And "Saint Seiya", as a classic Japanese comic translated and published by the mainland in the early nineties of the last century, has caused a "chasing" boom among the majority of primary and secondary school students and some college students, for us who only had a video tape that year, when the cartoon adaptation was subsequently broadcast by major local stations, it triggered a ratings boom.

We must admit that it was the first time we learned that there was something called "small universe" in the human body outside the traditional understanding of the martial arts world, and there was a "martial arts" that could punch dozens and hundreds of punches in a second, and in between classes, this kind of divine skill allowed countless heroes to compete with each other, from yelling at each other to rolling on the ground and pulling their hair and spitting, and then being punished by the teacher, such a double baptism of spirit and flesh, try to ask which Haojie is not unforgettable for the "Pegasus Meteor Fist"?

Many years later, when the mecha in "Pacific Rim" shouted "Pegasus Meteor Fist" in a duel with alien monsters, an emotion called "feelings" instantly permeated the hearts of post-80s audiences in the theater, and a long-lost sense of familiarity followed, and addicts even turned over mottled and yellowed comic books after returning home, remembering their childhood and friendship that were gradually drifting away.

This sentiment, not so much beyond borders, has nothing to do with Japanese anime, it just serves as a reminder to the audience who are already older:

At one time, there was something called "justice", which was unknowingly replaced by "breaking through" and "counterattacking".

Therefore, it is an overstatement to say that Americans are good at destroying classics with technology and special effects. But for Chinese, who have read all the weapons of the world, from the Heavenly Palace to the Ghost Slayer Blade, American special effects movies no longer seem to be the place that sweeps everything.

Saint Seiya Universe——

An independent and detached battle system to defend the earth, let the author Mr. Masami Kaida one day in the eighties of the last century on a whim, mixed Greek mythology and oriental martial arts, especially the latter's samurai spirit is sometimes reflected in the battle chapters, such as "loyalty, filial piety, etiquette, wisdom, faith", etc., Seiya and other five small powerhouses also changed the holy clothes on their bodies in the process of breaking through and fighting monsters, from bronze to gold, and then to sacred clothes, the "strange" coffee positions of abuse are also higher than one, faintly to challenge Zeus.

However, like another classic IP "Dragon Ball", it is okay to say that it is rotten, that it cannot be written or that there is no bottleneck in creation. Anyway, since playing Hades, the Japanese anime industry and film and television industry have begun to renovate various extracurricular and theatrical versions, and after careful observation, you can still find that in these versions, the characters and holy clothes are also constantly changing.

In short, Xiaoqiang does not die and bravely climbs the peak.

But this also brings a more serious problem -

The Japanese obviously regard it as an IP, but also just IP, without solidifying or strengthening the character and shape, and even let the five small strong live in the spiritual outlook of the year, which has caused a strange status quo:

Most of the main readers who watched Saint Seiya back then are now middle-aged, and readers in the new era have long shifted their attention to other newer and more curious works, but the five Xiaoqiang are either unknown, or every appearance is subverting the previous battle, they are not old or dead, but the author is old, and this IP has also become a chicken rib.

Stop, right? Inexcusable.

Go ahead, right? What other option is there but to fight Zeus? Could it be linked with Marvel? But now even Marvel movies are cold around the world, not to mention the Seiyas, who have even evolved to the limit of holy clothes?

From this, look at the content introduction of this live-action Saint Seiya created by the Americans to get a glimpse of the whole leopard:

This is a new original story "derived" from Masami Kaida's classic manga -

The supernatural power awakens on the wandering orphan Seiya, puts on the ancient Greek Pegasus holy robe, fights the mysterious organization to save the girl, and accepts his fate as a warrior of the zodiac.

Refurbished, not completely recovered.

Anyway, the holy robe has been preserved, the character has changed, and the background of the story has changed.

As for whether the grand Greek mythological world and the five small powers in Masami Kaida's original work still exist, it is still unknown, but the goddess Athena they protect seems to be much more blurred.

Considering the realistic elements, in fact, nothing else, the audience will complain when they see the live-action version of the holy clothes shape, the body proportions of comic characters and the shape and the real human object wear after all have a big difference, you can't require each actor's body proportion to be nine-headed, and the appearance of the characters cannot meet the aesthetics of every reader without specific emphasis. What's more, the perception of almost all members of Europe and the United States has completely pinnacle this impression that should have been very middle-two?

This most intuitive visual effect is also one of the reasons why the "Saint Seiya" movie was severely criticized after the trailer was released.

In addition, no matter how innovative the movie is, the audience's impression is stubborn, and many readers are still obsessed with the long martial arts experience in the Saint Seiya universe and the constantly emerging more advanced challengers, as well as the complex emotions surrounding the protagonist, which cannot be simply summarized in a movie.

Coupled with the current official film introduction, it is not difficult for discerning people to see that this may be another failed comic book work that hangs a sheep's head and sells dog meat, which corrupts the feelings for the original work, and also increases the bad feeling of the second creation of the movie:

What about the holy robe that is said to be good? Did you scrape off the platinum on people's bodies?
