The live action of ‘One Piece’ does not convince in test screenings and could be a flop for Netflix

There is currently a trend in the entertainment industry of making new live action versions of past hits, and Netflix has joined this strategy with the production of several live action titles, one of the most anticipated being ‘a piece’, a series that would have already had a special screening of its first episodes, which apparently did not go well for the streaming giant.

According to information shared by Divinity Seeker, Netflix screened some episodes of the live action of ‘a piece’ to an expert panel of the original anime series, and after doing so, the platform would only receive criticism as it would not meet the expectations of the audience, which would no doubt be very worrying for this streaming service as this production is one of the more expensive.

As shared, this new original production from the streaming giant, being in real action, it would not have the same impact as the anime seriessince some scenes showing the powers that the characters in this story have, simply wouldn’t work in a live action series, so this title seems to have the same fate that other past anime adapted to live action have achieved in this service.

It’s not good that this would be a major obstacle for Netflix, because the live action of “One Piece” is one of the strongest bets of the streaming giant for the next few months, so surely the platform will make several corrections first for this new series output.

It’s worth mentioninga piece’ It does not yet have a specific date for its launch on the platform, however recently this new action-adventure series confirmed that it will arrive in the catalog of this service in 2023, so it should arrive in the second half. of this year.

News in live action for Netflix

It is worth mentioning that the other big live action adaptation of an anime series from the past on Netflix is ​​’Avatar: The Last Airbender’, another production that has a difficult road ahead of it considering the success of the original title, and will probably face the same problems that the series is currently facing on air. action of ‘One Piece’.

It should be noted that Netflix hasn’t done well with its live action adaptations in the past, just remember the achievements of the original productions of ‘Death Note’ and ‘Cowboy Bebop’, and for the moment everything seems to indicate that this new production of ‘a piece’ will become a failure for this service.
