No, that's a Valkyrie joke. His name has extra characters in it now, and he's hard to search on.
Never thought of that. Also trying to log in again once I cleared my cache is a bit of a nightmare...
Very soon I'll put it back to normal. I blame Losty! Comes in with new fancy font, gives me the idea, then she pisses off again!

Yeah, sure , blame it all on Losty! Total dodge move off of responsibility! 
Speaking of which...where the hell has she gone!? We've been kicked to the curb, the lot of us!

Wondering, why superhero movie from american comic adaptation works so well (Marvel & DC)
But any movie from manga adaptation rarely works...
Both are equally absurd & full of CGI...
So why..?

Apparently "beat cop" doesn't mean what I thought it meant...

Not through lack of trying.
But the other staff outvoted me.

Different tone and different values. American audiences and production companies strive for a certain beat for beat playbook that works with the ideals of American comic and action heroes. But Japanese manga protagonists are often darker, more ambiguous, more emotionally complex and they have different ideals and motivations culturally. But the studios try to make them as an American action hero and it fails to capture the original character.
Tl;dr: American studios just don't "get" manga stories. Or rather, even if they do understand the stories and values, they think American audiences are too stupid to get it.
