I didn't like it when BBB posted it in the Going to Hell thread, and I don't like it now. What is it with people and "gritty, adult" Pokémon? WTF? If they make a live-action movie, this is exactly how I don't want it to be. Sure, make it less "we all live in a yellow submarine, a yellow submarine, a yellow submarine!" happy-go-lucky than the anime if you want to, but for God's sake knock it the fuck out with these Pokémon versions of Mario: Game Over.

Ha, that's hilarious.

Oh, what? It's not supposed to be a comedy? Oh then it's terrible.

That "WTF?" was the intention, I think. The uploader summary claims it's a response to the trend of hard-grit re-imagining of stuff, but I think the shock of children's show + adult approach goes beyond just Pokemon. If you remember, the "Saturday Morning Watchman" video was the inversion of that.

I liked Meowth firing the machine gun. That was the best part.

EDIT: Also Giovanni lighting his cigar on Charizard's Flamethrower.

I like the "underground fighting" motif, it seems like a kind of logical progression, I love that guy playing "Giovanni," and Team Rocket Industry's general attitude. I'm on the fence with how the Pokemon look, because it's one part terrible and one part at least they're trying to be original with the technology that they have. I pretty much hate everything else. Stiff acting and cheesy one-liner dialogue that slap you in the face with lame Pokemon references completely ruins everything though.

Giovanni was one of my least favorite actors in that bit. o_o; Shocked to hear you say you liked his performance while disliking others'. The bit at 1:29 is wrong in so many ways!
  • the uncontrollable outburst?
  • the look on his face at 1:35? (pictured above)
  • the silly spoken threat?
This was in no way, shape, or form the badass who got into the boxing ring with a Chansey. What did you like about his performance? Maybe I'm looking at the wrong bit.

I hated that part, too, actually. I hated the outburst, and how that is somehow the catalyst for the main story. "Everyone you know is dead" from giving back all the money you made and quitting doesn't even -begin- to make sense...

Hrm... thinking about it, I guess I don't like the actor -himself- as much as I like that -look- for "Giovanni." Aka, the bald but powerful "Lex Luthor" look? But you -are- right about punching Chanseys, haha. Maybe a more "Kingpin" look would be better for film?

Giovanni actor was definitely the worst part of the video, as Talon astutely pointed out he lacked the puissant presence and mature charisma that made anime Giovanni so capable and dangerous. He's almost like a punk...the actor is too young, he gives the impression he's only like ten years older than Ash.
