I'm only mentioning this since the source material was animated but we gonna get a Clifford the Big Red Dog live-action movie in 2021. We only got a small teaser right now so it's hard to guess what's the finished product will be like (but I don't expect anything grand).

WHY

THIS DOES NOT NEED TO BE IN LIVE ACTION AT ALL

Definitely not red enough. Like being too bright red is “unrealistic” in this movie about a dog the size of a house.

He should be bright primary color red, like something near #ff0000, a nice cartoony red, so he doesn't look like a blood-soaked monster that just ate a bus full of kids.

I kind of disagree. Brain's robot screws him over because he made something smarter than him that realized that Brain was the weak link keeping it from taking over the world. He fucked up in the McCarthy episode because he pissed off the secretary until she started intentionally digging up dirt on him. I feel like in most of the episodes, it's either "Brain has a good idea, but fucks it up", or "Pinky got him the opportunity to succeed, Pinky fucks him out of it since the idea wasn't good to begin with", like the first episode. I'm also not done with it yet, but I think it's not too far off in that respect.

I don't mind some of the political commentary, as the whole "LOL! Trump Orange And Talk Weird" joke with the cyclops is something they would have done in the 90's anyway, and they jab at political correctness in the opening/with Dot too. Someone else earlier in the thread said they were playing that part straight in the opening, and I don't think that's the case as much as it is a jab at the kind of people who would complain that the opening changed lines from the original, or be mad at the show for having modern celebrities because it's not more 90's pandering. I can see them, especially in the second season, running with Dot as an overly excited but woefully undereducated activist, kind of like Lisa Simpson. The "bun buyback" thing made me want to drill a hole in my skull, though. I don't even fully disagree with some of the points they try to make, it's just that it feels like when Last Week Tonight or Daily Show try to do a "kid's book" about how Trump has the big gay, and then it just sells to 30-something year old liberals with no kids. It's smug and uninspired.

I'm still enjoying it overall, though. It makes me want to go back and rewatch the original, but in a fond way, not a "this sucks so bad I need the original as a palette cleanser" way.

If corporate media starts shitting on PC culture we'll know it's on the way out.
