Adaptations Lose, Parodies Win

Two entries in Sankaku Complex that had interested me in the previous week...

ADAPTATIONS LOSE

Iron Man and Wolverine Anime Trailers.

"Bishie" Wolverine = WTF.

WTF. That's NOT Wolverine! That's some starved "bishounen" whose trying to be Logan!

Field Test Batman (Bee Train) = WIN

The whole Bishie Wolverine isn't as effective as Bee Train's pretty boy Batman from Field Test. It's because Wolverine has been portrayed as badass, downright badass since the start (think of Hugh Jackman!) --- not some rich boy with technology stereotype whose done by Gaijin bishounen Christian Bale.

Telekenetic Bishie vs Iron Man

Sure, the armor install show-off at the beginning is badass.

...but not until we saw the guy inside Iron Man can we only judge it as total win.

PARODIES WIN

IllusionSoft's Dragon Quest Parody is a reverse raep. (NSFW...oh the implications!)

Hot demon guy (the one in 3D CG) whose probably an Uke.

We'll call him "Diabolos" for now because I can smell some
Resemblance-Overusage GACKTion Mailed thing again.

There are also some more Dragon Quest Comparison shots in a previous entry. (Fanservice-ridden. Scroll down for the DQ deal. NSFW).
