So I guess the next generation gets to experience their own Dragon Ball Evolution. Rolling Eyes Also, MHA is nothing like Woke Woman. They need The Boys crew to adapt the former.

I thought this had been quietly dropped and the writer doesn't inspire any confidence.

I don't think The Boys crew are qualified to adapt MHA either.

Excited for American My Hero Academia, where the real problem with the hero system is that there isn't a strong enough hero at no. 1 and so Deku will have to pull himself up by his bootstraps and surpass All Might

Well, looks like MHA fans will get their own downright terrible live-action movie now too.

Any Hollywood director, let alone one who has done contemporary superhero films before, is going to completely miss the appeal and tone of My Hero Academia and why it took off while every other superhero comic is teetering on the brink of cancellation and irrelevancy.

It's a shame they're focusing so much on MHA when its appeal is difficult to capture and transform into live action, let alone a single film. I'm still bitter we didn't get the live-action adaptation of Monster by Guillermo Del Toro.

As someone's watched both shows, I can attest that the 2 shows have actually very little in common both in premise & overall tone. The hero concept is about the only thing they have in common.

And considering how terrible that movie is, we’re in trouble. Unless of course the writer ends up hitting the same wall the Brian K. Vaughan Gundam script hit (where after two years Sunrise threw him and it out and started from scratch). And that comes from someone who felt obligated to give it a chance just because of Bruce Campbell.

This is a tough concept to do just because of how many different themes are present in the original work and how easy it is to bungle them. Not to mention we’re probably going to get a heaping amount of Leatherquest 2000 with the costumes when the numerous stage plays have shown you can modify the costumes to make sense for people wearing them (like giving Momo a zipper).

I’d rather they just…didn’t.

Death Note, One Piece, Cowboy Bebop. We've had plenty of "DB Evolutions" already for the younger generations. They never went away. The real question is if this ever gets made or goes into development hell like most other adaptions.
