If One Punch Man get noticed by some big names, it would be thrilling to have a live action version done by Hollywood. They seemed to be pretty good in adapting the whole superhero stuff.

^Liam Neeson for Saitama!
It's good to see One-Punch Man get the acknowledgement and recognition it so well deserves. |

That's only in regards to graphic novels though. I would wonder why One Punch Man got so popular in the states vis other manga since its not that popular in Japan vis other manga like Kingdom or Terra Formars. I think it's because it's about (male) superheros.

Probably because people really like superheroes in the west. Also, hasn't the webcomic gotten like 10 million hits or something along those lines? I wouldn't necessarily consider that "not that popular." Also, there are female superheros in it too (Fubuki, Tatsumaki) |

The problem is that OPM is too Japanese to be adaptable in Hollywood unless they change names. At least with "Tiger & Bunny," the cast is diverse enough for Hollywood to get away with it.
The memes weren't a big enough indicator? |
