People claim that all the Hazbin Hotel characters look the same, but I guarantee you could give me a lineup of the characters in silhouette and I’ll correctly guess exactly who each one is. Isn’t that, like, the principle everyone cites for good character design?

I read that version, yeah! I remember those pages from it.
Here’s a hot take: If they wanted to do a direct adaptation of the comic of The Crow, it shouldn’t be a live action film at all… it should be an animated miniseries.
The miniseries would be the best format in regards to showing all the events of the comic, including the flashbacks to Eric’s life he had before with Shelly, while fleshing out some of the other characters more. And making it animated would be the best way of capturing the stylization of the source material. Imagine if it were animated in Sin City style, where everything was black and white except the blood, but then the flashbacks are in full color, symbolizing life, bliss, and joy, to contrast the black and white bleakness of the present day.
Honestly, a lot of comics would benefit from having animated adaptations instead of live action ones, but that’s a conversation that Hollywood isn’t ready to have.

Forever fascinated by media franchises that live solely on the strength of having one or two beloved installments and have nothing else that’s remotely watchable.

Two nights ago, in preparation for the inevitable disappointment of the new movie of The Crow, I stayed up way too late reading the original comic. Golly, you can tell it was written by a guy who was grieving his fiancée’s death.
A huge amount of the comic, amidst Eric’s quest for vengeance upon those who killed him and his fiancée Shelly, is focused on his grief for her. There are flashbacks to their Christmas together, the domestic life they had, even like really mundane stuff like painting the house. Shelly is also given a personality and isn’t just a flat character whose only purpose for the plot was dying.
And that grief for that person that she was is what lets Eric hold onto his humanity: it’s what drives him to do things like adopting the cat Gabriel after its owner is killed by thugs, and then make sure Gabriel has a home when it’s time for him to leave this world for good; it’s what leads to him giving Shelly’s ring to young Sherri as the first gift she’s ever received, treat Sherri gently, urge her mom to get clean, and let Officer Albrecht know that she needs protection. Even when Funboy, one of the members of the gang, talks with Eric and tells him he doesn’t know why he is the way he is, doesn’t see the way to be better, and thinks resisting Eric pointless, he lets him take drugs to overdose and have a relatively peaceful end instead of killing him himself. Not only because of Eric’s own personality buried under layers of rage and depression, but also because of Shelly’s retained influence on him beyond the grave.
The film leaves a lot of this out, and Shelly’s passing is more of just the backdrop and driving force of his quest for revenge; however, there are some aspects of the film that I like better. Specifically, I like how much more it fleshes out both Albrecht and Sarah’s characters, while in the comic they’re mostly confined to the background. Especially Sarah (Sherri in the comics), who I feel there’s even more of a reason for Eric to care about, given that Shelly had cared for Sarah during her life.
I also love the graphic stylized nature of the comic, which was carried over to the film.

Honestly, that’s why I was skeptical of Hazbin Hotel before it dropped. Helluva Boss really lost my interest as it started focusing more on romance drama and characters’ daddy issues than on the original plot of the show.

So, genuinely, what’s the point of test screenings for films? Are they just there to make films appeal more to the masses? Because I’ve never heard of a film that was improved by changing stuff because of what test audiences liked, and I’ve heard of many films that were made worse by it.
(This question was prompted because I recently discovered that The Little Mermaid almost cut “Part of Your World” because kids were getting bored by it during test screenings, and I quite frankly find that unimaginable because the film doesn’t work without that song… and songwriter Howard Ashman agrees, because he threatened to pull out of the film if they cut that song, which was a good call because the song is now probably the most famous in the movie.)

Heh. It’s true!
Another way that helps understand the Beatles’ influence and popularity is something I discovered recently; there’s a video where it plays all the #1 hits from 1959 to 2023, and if you’ve heard the hit songs that were popular between 1959 and 1962, before the Beatles broke out, their music was genuinely a breath of fresh air and breathed life into the otherwise stale scene.
