Bright’s best scene was probably when an orc went on Joe Rogan to talk about how the orc community rejects Jakoby as one of their own because orcs are apparently ACAB? In any case, it was great seeing something so original and creative. Similarly, in the anime, elves are an oppressed minority, which we have seen as recently as The Witcher. But in Bright, they are the 1% living in heavily guarded, segregated parts of the city filled with more wealth than the butthole of the bastard offspring of the Easter Bunny and the end-of-the-rainbow Leprechaun. (I made a bet with Cracked that if I can incorporate “filled butthole” imagery into a single article three times, I get a hat that says “FBI: Filling Buttholes Inc.”)
The problem with Bright was that it didn’t have a decent, well-paced story with fleshed-out characters to bring this fascinating world to life, and the anime fixed none of that. The original film only needed a few more scenes that would give us more insight into the Bright universe and let us fill in some of the blanks on our own. Instead, we got a weird, mixed bag of simultaneous “telling, not showing” and “not telling us enough,” which was a lot like filling your butthole with live bees. On the one hand, I’m a bit impressed the movie pulled it off but am still baffled as to WHY they did it. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a new hat to pick up.
