Things of Netflix's solo solo series of living actions must be corrected

Summary

It was even confirmed that South Korean actor Byeon Woo-Seok will show the main character, Sung Jinwoo.

This announcement naturally made Solo alignment Fans around the world feel excited and concerned because the recent adaptations of the Netflix series of the beloved anime were very polarizing: some were very bad (like Deathand others were surprisingly good (as One piece). It is possible that this new Solo alignment The show may end up quite good, but its producers If they want the show to succeed, it absolutely needs to correct the next eight things.

Development of Jinwoo characters

It's not just about making him look great

At their core Solo alignment is a Power fantasy About the weak boy who was undermined and badly treated with everyone around him, until he suddenly gained the incredible power that allowed him to become the strongest person around the world. The upcoming adaptation to a living event will certainly retain this aspect of the story, but it is important that writers and producers do not fall into the common misconception that it Solo alignment It's solely about it and nothing more.

Sung Jinwoo may not be the most complex protagonist of anime/manhwa, but it's more than just a general “cool guy” and its character is many layers. He really takes care of his friends and family, in fact he wants to use his strength to protect the world, and even has some funny personal jokes, such as his tendency to forget the names of other people or his offspring around women who are interested in him. The producers of a live action show should not avoid less great aspects of the character if they really want the mainstream audience to resonate with him because he was humanized much more than the typical “cool guy” anime hero.

The cast of other characters

Sung Jinwoo is not the only important person in this story

The cast Byeon Woo-Seoka as Sung Jinwoo is very solid because the young actor definitely has the appearance and acting chops to faithfully portray this beloved main character. But while Solo alignment It focuses mainly on its protagonists, it is not the only important, powerful or unforgettable person in this story, so the rest of the cast should be on the same level.

Fans of the source material will certainly be vigilant who are cast for other roles, including the roles of Cha Hae-in, Go Gunhee, Woo Jinchul and many others. It seems that adaptation to a living event will try to maintain the nationality of the characters (for example, Sung Jinwoo, a South Korean man, will play a South Korean actor), which is a very good sign. People who are in charge of the cast should certainly maintain this mentality for all non -Kojean characters: Japanese hunters should be portrayed by Japanese actors, Chinese actors should portray Chinese hunters, American actors should portray American hunters etc.

HUD System of Player System

The design of one thing that distinguishes this series from the others

The real way of jinwoo begins when unlocking the strength of the system. This bizarre magic program similar to video game Allows him to balance, get new abilities, complete side tasks and buy and maintain objects. Needless to say, this is one of the main components Solo alignmentA narration and one thing that distinguishes it from other similar Power Fantasy series.

In both Manhwa and Anime, the HUD system looked like a video game screen that was lost in a color background, but these offers must jump much more in a live action format. The display of the system in the upcoming Netflix show must look clear and comprehensible, not only because it is obvious that it is a fantastic part of this world, but it is also easier for the audience to understand how it works. In addition, it would be a great opportunity for producers to play with the concept of “IRL video game”, which is always fun to explore in a series of live events.

Monsters

The fighting of the Jinwoo creation must look credible even unique

During his journey Jinwoo fights with some fantastic Monsters This allows him to cope every time he beats one, from small elves and deadly raicans to massive bosses such as giant snakes, spiders and even blazing Cerberus. In addition, monsters are even stronger and intimidating as the story continues, with the final arches of Manhwa with some of the deadliest entities as a whole Solo alignment franchise.

Adapting all these creatures to a live action format will be a difficult task and it is essential that the show has a sufficiently high budget so that the VFX team can portray them as faithful as possible. Producers are probably aware of this reality, but it is also essential for the monsters to maintain their original appearance. Designs monster Solo alignment It is one of the best and most creative in the Manhwa industry, so it would be great if a live action show was maintained by distinctive source material patterns instead of converting every monster into a general CGI creation that could be found into any other living fantasy properties.

Jinwoo's Shadows

It is essential for his faithful soldiers to keep their personalities

If a live action is Solo alignment The show reaches a point in a story in which Sung Jinwoo unlocks his Extraction of the shadow The ability (which, based on anime, should be around the end of the hypothetical first season), writers, showrunners, and even the VFX team will complete a new challenging task: to adapt their large army of strong and Badass shadows to this universe.

Like enemy monsters, Sung Jinwoo's Shadows must look as good and unique as in the source material, but it is extremely important that their personalities are also faithfully adapted. Shadows such as Igris, Iron, Tusk and I take all different personalities, specific tastes and unique character traits that not only lead to a fair share of funny comedy scenes, but also humanize Jinwoo by giving him someone to bounce whenever there are no other people. A series of living actions is likely to fail if producers overlook this key aspect of the story and decide for a general, without a face to Shadows Jinwoo.

Incredible action

One thing solo is known especially for all others

If there is one thing This is celebrated about every incarnation Solo alignment, his Incredible series sequence. The combat scenes in the original Manhwa (illustrated by the Yang Sung-Aracus) were full of style, taste and detail, and all were still perfectly translated into the animated A-1 adaptations that pleased anime fans with some of the most belief and dynamic combat scenes throughout the industry.

As for the event in the Live-Action show, the expectations of fans are certainly very high and it will be difficult for the manufacturers (albeit impossible) to fulfill this promise. Suppose they can nail choreography, fantastic special effects and intense character drama of these meetings. In that case upcoming Solo alignment In the end, the series may have some of the absolute best combat scenes with a live action in the history of television.

Hunter's policy

Netflix has the potential to overcome the source material in this one area

You could say that the story Solo alignment It is divided into two halves: Jinwo's experience with raid and combat monsters inside the portals and man policy The surrounding portals. After all, the world of this series is filled to the brim of the hunters, who are divided into six classes and who belong to various guilds that are constantly unrest over the ownership of the entrance portals.

Given their slow movement, a scene involving Hunter policy in Manhwa and Anime can be a bit tiring for some viewers, so a series of live events could be easily adapted to them in a way they become one of the strongest points. By making notes from K-Dramas (and using strong writing and acting), interviews between Jinwoo and other hunters could definitely become one of the most attractive and interesting parts of the show. In addition, by extending some of these scenes and making them, manufacturers can eventually create something they could use to fill in the time without increasing the budget of the series.

Anime original scene

The series should take the best of both worlds to make perfect adaptation

The Solo alignment Anime came out for many years after the original light novel and Manhwa have ended, and talented people on A-1 images took it through the perfect advantage of creating many Scenes only for anime This feature of the character, which was originally introduced in much later points in source material such as cha hae-in, go gunhee, most Korean hunters s-rank, etc. Naturally, naturally, Solo alignment The fans got this change very well.

While a series of living events will most likely be based on Manhwa, its producers should not even ignore the animated adaptation, so all these key characters should be introduced earlier to make this world feel more lively and cohesive. In addition, they could even create a brand new scene representing points and characters that were still not adapted to anime, such as International Hunters Thomas Andre and Liu Zhagang. Live action One piece He did something similar to some of his characters (such as Monkey D. Garp) and it worked surprisingly well.
