i know everyone stopped thinking of the live action cowboy bebop ages ago but i finally was able to articulate what they got wrong. the big theme of the original Cowboy Bebop was the inherent dignity of caring deeply for something even if it isn't "important" and at every turn the live action series instead presented characters as pathetic for their trivial pursuits. all other complaints, the dialogue, the costumes, the pacing, are window dressing in comparison
