Does anyone else see the irony?


The same people that are complaining that Hollywood has run out of ideas are slamming this movie for not being an exact translation of the original "Underdog" cartoon.

One or the other, people; an exact translation would less original than what they did...

Take some time to think about your argument. It doesn't really work.

Just think about it for a while...

If they stick to the exact original material, there is less new about this than the way they did it.

If they didn't adapt anything at all, of course that would be more original--or what passes for original in Hollywood--than this adaptation, but that's not the argument people were making.

The same people who were calling for more original material were also trashing the film because it wasn't a rehash of old material.

So, yes, my argument does really work.

Irony? Now there's a new wrinkle!

But if it's a new wrinkle, you must put it on the irony board!

I am laughing at my own cleverness right now. Maybe that joke should have been put in the movie.

I'm not sure those are the same people. Or else, when Hollywood ISN'T being original, then they're not staying true to source material. See, what happens when one has hackneyed ideas that don't stand on their own, they attach them to some other, stronger, albeit not necessarily original idea. The irony here is that they go unnoticed. These people feel that if Hollywood isn't going to be original then they could at least provide adequate fan service. Which makes sense, really.
