>>6305669Nothing really stands out in BotI as being comicy though. Maybe the hair, but it's still not not way out there like comic designs can be.
>>6305743This does, but i really can't tell if the movie characters are being silly or it's just bad acting. Considering the tone of the manga/anime, i assume they're just silly, hence the more than faithful designs.
>>6305588I think you misunderstood me. I'm not saying you dont like it because it's cheesy, just that a lot of us overlook how silly it looks despite the comics not being (that) silly. Stuff like XMen will poke fun at themselves in the comics and the movies did the same, but because of the mostly serious nature of the movies, Hollywood wanted them to look more seroius and less clownish. Like i said, we can overlook the clownfriendly colors and designs because of the style and coloring, which doesn't translate to live action all that well (see all anime hair).
Also, i think that the Valerian designs are even more comic-y than what was in the comics. It's more real to have them white with gold highlights than black and gold (lights?). They're just imitating the hollywood movie comic style, me tooing. They want to make sure it's seen as a sci fi comic movie rather than straight science fiction.
I think that fits better, as i would buy a toy if it looked less realistic and more scifiy.
