Most of what you mention (silver, ability to leap long distances, tattoos, Deacon Frost) is from the films.
Sounds mostly like a film adaptation, at least looks-wise. They may take more inspiration from the comics. I don’t know. Haven’t seen it yet.
So i gotta ask, with Sam Raimi attached to the Noir TV adaptation has Sam officially become the nerd director? I mean the guy has done things from spiderman to spartacus, and from xena to army of darkness, among other things, now he’s connected to Noir and the future World of Warcraft movie. What are your thoughts on sam? Is he the director who could deliver high quality anime and video game live action adaptions or do you think these will be the same as the other garbage we always seem to be handed?
P.S. Ichigo, good job getting my name right a couple of episodes ago, even if you did struggle with it a bit.
