This looks... amazing and awful all at the same time. I was excited about it when you posted the trailer until... I saw it was live action. The ears don't look right to me. And although I recognize each of the characters, it feels too cosplay-esque to me. The clothing feels flat. The hair looks unnatural. And it is pretty obviously people in costume. The elves don't have the delicate/fragile feel that they appear to in the graphic comics. Leetah, for example, has too much meat on her bones for my taste. Then again, I never liked Leetah. Winowill was always my favorite character.
Maybe I'm just too much of a fanatic of the original. I might still try to watch this... somehow.
It is certainly far from perfect, but for what it is I think they did a pretty good job. (Small budget fan production)
I doubt live action film will be able to really capture the look of the elves (one of the reasons I was disappointed that an animated version never took off).
Winnie was always my favorite as well - not sure what that says about us :)
Visually, they did a good job on the trailer, despite not exposing what anything about the series is about, and a little too much standing around with eyes going hither and yon. But I liked it, thanks for posting :)
It shows we have depth because we automatically don't love the main characters. I don't even consider her a 'bad guy'. She's just.. she's had a tough life, man. Society made her this way!
I prefer just about everyone over Leetah, though. I just.. never liked her. She was a damn priss and a princess in the worst way.
Very true. I was always disappointed with how Winnowill was used in the later series. The first few series showed her as a character with much more depth, but the later ones felt like they just used her as a villain and nothing more.
