Catdoll: Picking on the details? The lyrics of the movie version of Parasyte sparked controversy

The movie "Parasyte: The Final Chapter" which started to be released on April 25, has become a hot topic because of its slight differences from the original manga "Parasyte". In the movie, the "harmful chemicals" in the original manga were changed to "radioactive substances". No one expected that such a small detail would cause such an uproar. Some netizens have questioned the use of the term "radioactive substances" and expressed the hope that another version would be produced, with very sharp words.

This tweet has been widely circulated by netizens, with more than 8,000 reposts, including Kubo Tite, the author of Bleach. Afterwards, as if stimulated, comments such as "As a science fiction work, this is a fatal cognitive problem" and "Because it is a sensitive issue, if you really want to do it, you have to do a good investigation before doing it" spread on Twitter, questioning the producers' understanding of "radioactive substances". Although the comments were sharp and fierce, they were also sincere, and the producers seemed to accept them with pleasure.

But the matter is not over yet. The storm caused by the "word-changing" incident is far more than that. From targeting specific "radioactive substances", it has gradually expanded to condemning live-action movies that "arbitrarily change the original plot." "Don't change the masterpiece at will according to the wishes of your production staff!", "The director's self-expression is not needed", etc., the voices against "tampering with the work" are getting louder and louder. On the other hand, there are also more supportive voices, opinions and more thorough views: "The fact that humans cannot be defeated is still in line with the theme of the original work", "If it is just a simple remake, it is no different from focusing on current affairs", "Incorporating the ideas of the producers is the meaning of making a work into a movie in this era"; "No matter how perfect it is, fans of the original work will always have opinions", "There are many works that become masterpieces after being adapted into movies"... The topic of "the right and wrong of changing the original work" has deviated from the initial argument and entered a white-hot stage of discussion.

There are also positive reviews of the live-action movie of "Parasyte" among many criticisms, saying that it runs through the plot of the first and second parts very well, and the "connection" of the beginning, development, turning point and ending is quite good. In short, please wait and see how things will turn out in the future.
