Whether a response is relevant or not, is not the point. The point was not looking to have this debate all over again. But somehow you managed to peak my curiosity regardless. (fuck!)
To keep this reply as short as possible, the remake is a disaster, in more ways than one. But in the end, I can live with
Regardless of the visual examples in the above 'spoiler', the visuals' quality is still somewhat secondary to me. What irks me the most, is the below average writing. The conversations no longer feel natural as they did before. His new proof readers are complete garbage. And defending it by saying "Oh but his proof readers are fluent in more than 2 languages" does
not excuse this garbage. Hiring someone who can understand several languages, does
not by any stretch of the imagination, mean quality.
Because
I am aware of some of the difficulties Ocean's had with "partnerships", I can sympathize with his position of wanting and/or needing to proverbially draw a line in the sand to separate from the old and the new. I get that. What I don't get is why settle for below average writing. And having members like you and other "fangirls" defending this garbage is discouraging.
Before there was potential for a
masterpiece in progress, whereas now, the writing feels like it's from some middle-schooler forced to do his homework where he'd rather be playing 'fortnite' instead. There are much better proof readers out there who are educated in English literature, who could have corrected these ridiculous and obvious 'mishaps'. Perhaps even for less money or
even for free.
Now don't get me wrong here, I'm AM NOT trying to take a complete shit on Ocean here. I'm taking one on the below par fangirls pretending there is nothing wrong with the new version. A mature creator will/should look for the segment of fans that are calling out what is wrong with it over those blinded by their own jizz splashes in order to stroke his ego instead. Nor am I trying to tell Ocean to change "his vision".
I'm trying to tell him to stop rushing it. Because that's exactly what the remake feels like. He's rushing it. Yes the fans are impatient to dig our claws into it. But he will lose more fans than gain some with sub standard writing. Those of us that were immersed into the mystery and darkness of the original version, were and are expecting better from him because we know he can do it.
And "FUCK!" again, I wanted to keep this reply short..... So I'm going to drop off here.
But I suspect my position is a little more clear now? I do not wish to relive through this crap again.
Peace!
