More like "my superhero shtick failed and I really wanna do that, so how about Maui instead?" Maui is a really cool character, but most of that is due to how animated he is. Live action Maui cannot hope to top the animated version unless they wanna go the Scott Pilgrim route which is not gonna happen. And Maui is beefier than The Rock will ever be.

I don't think the era that gave us the stereotypical extreme/edgy yet safely marketable to everybody aesthetic mocked by millennials, adult animation, and modern Disney themselves was about valuing creativity *over* money. Eisner was a creative. He was better at balancing the conflict between corporate interests and the artistic pursuits inherent in running an entertainment company, but let's not pretend it was a golden age just because of the Renaissance. I'd argue Disney's television projects are the best they've ever been, for example, far better than what they could offer in the 90s.

Hey your the first one to comment on the subject matter congratulations!!!!!!

[@newtthelizardwizard]

Tamatoa is the obvious thing that would be weird to see if they did in "live action" but the thing that intrigues me the most would be how they'd do the tattoos on Maui. They're part of what makes his character so likeable and visually interesting so I feel like they can't NOT do them, but if they do they're going to look completely awful.

[@TJ-hg6op]

Probably horrible, like horrible cgi

[@spaghetto9836]

You're thinking about that instead of the fact that Maui will be bald??

[@Mecharnie_Dobbs]

Tatoos are drawings made by humans. Just draw a grid on his body for reference and then draw the tattoos onto the screen, frame by frame. Using a computer. Get a human to draw the character designs, then cut them up and move the bits with a computer. What's the problem? Surely they wouldn't use 3D animation for the tattoos?

Rick Riordan, the author of the Percy Jackson books, gets his work published under Disney (hence Disney also picking up PJO for a live action show). Rick started doing “Rick Riordan Presents” which allows poc authors to get their stories out there about their cultures and mythologies. I feel like an easy way for Disney to do live action and “show” other cultures for representation, would be to start adapting these works.

Either way when they finally hit Meet the Robinsons it'll be an interesting, pathetic trainwreck that'll throw away the two intended messages about moving forward and the smaller message of "your dreams shouldn't selfishly affect everyone around you due to tunnel vision" and solely turn it into another failed Marxist screed about anticapitalism and paint that Lewis should have given up on his dreams to capitulate to what Goob wants because that makes him a Good Comrade™.
