Live action. Ryan Reynolds is the voice of Detective Pikachu.
Oh, do I have your attention now? I certainly am thinking about seeing it. I didn’t really ‘do’ Pokemon, but… Ryan Reynolds, man. That could work.

…wait. His dad’s name is “Harry Goodman”?
OK, I am honestly intrigued.
Wait, what?

*ahem* Well. At least we’ve moved beyond enslaving semi-sentient magical creatures for *blood-sport*, right?

Right?
I’m supposed to look at this and say “That is the stupidest thing I have ever seen, and that’s saying a lot.” But it actually looks like it might be good.
I think there’s something wrong with me.
I know, right? I could conceivably have fun watching this.
It has to be a parody.
Doesn’t it?

There’s no way Hollywood could actually make something this bizarre in a day and age so bereft of vision that a remake of Jumanji was one of the year’s top films.
Could they?

That said, I’m more interested in seeing this, than almost all the actual movies to have been made over the past couple of years.
Despite having a pronounced dislike of Pokemon.
Nah, it’s real. The Guardian hates it, too. Oh, excuse me: all the fans, everywhere supposedly hate it.
… but Pikachu has always been an electric rat and jigglypuff is a puff ball! What kind of fans don’t know these things? I haven’t been a fan since about the turn of the century and I know these things. Obviously the people at the Guardian know even less about pocket monsters than my father, who I am fairly certain engaged in purposeful ignorance on the subject.
