oh, hey. I have an opinion on this.It would be horrible. Honestly any live action Cowboy Bebop would be horrible.
I mean, it's a cool sounding idea, i mean, cowboy bebop was the fucking shit. For real, it's the only anime that has any appeal whatsoever.
it was a great series, and the feature film was fantastic and completed the story like the last chapter of a book. no additional storyline would need to be followed up on in any format, let alone live action. let alone with keanu reeves as spike! how old is he now, 50?
and chances are it would be as bad as the G.I. Joe movie was, which i didn't watch by the way, but was fucking terrible nonetheless.
All these fucking superhero movies and powerful mutant genius scientist genre flicks are campy as fuck and come across as the homosexual tryhards from after-school athletics prancing around with their tennis rackets held like a microphone singing justin beiber songs ironically off-key in their alleged attempt to "flirt" with the girls who think, "Oh, he's just a really sweet guy."
i'm not buying it!
you're a fucking homosexual, stop denying it. you're not fooling anyone.
keep your gagged up ass costumery and pent-up angst away from my cowboy bebop, damnit!
luckily keanu reeves is a fan and finally probably figured out this would be a bad idea and the idea got shelved apparently.

How do you feel about Uncle Ruckus The Live Action Movie? It's happening.

I don't imagine it could be any shittier than the last Star Trek movie.
