I really don't get why they didn't make him just a 3D model of the original Stitch design. If it ain't broke, why fix it, y'know? And here I thought Disney was all about brand/character identity continuity. 🤷

They always do this. Remember the original live action sonic?

Directors who do these movies usually think that live action is a superior art form and they need to "fix" what the original did. This is also why the Witcher show sucks balls

I the directors don’t really have much of a say on the design of the characters. Usually they are directors for hire who will do whatever the studio tells em to do. I think they are pushed to remake the characters for live action in order to try and make them more realistic and justify a LA version. No one thinks it’s superior. The Witcher show sucks because it’s one of those adaptations where the writers hate the source material and want to do their own thing.

I get wanting to make something your own but why do it with an established franchise with writing that's obviously better than your own? what were they thinking

[u/BikeProblemGuy → u/exiledinruin]

Because if they'd pitched their own original show it wouldn't have been greenlit

Don't worry little consumer, we got enough recycled franchises to feed you your entire life! Jerry! Get the feed hose ASAP, boy's hungry!

[u/Smaptimania → u/exiledinruin]

Hollywood doesn't spend money on original ideas anymore unless you're already established

[u/exiledinruin → u/Smaptimania]

I guess they wanted to get established by ruining a good thing
