Akiiiiiiraaaaa!!!!!
Apr. 15th, 2002 10:39 pmFrom a discussion on rec.arts.comics.misc, where the different between Akira the film (2 hours long) and Akira the comic (about 20,000 pages long) is discussed:
The movie is decent, but basically takes the first quarter of the series,
tosses in some stuff from the midpoint, and then sort of waffles the ending
to dovetail with the end of the comic.
The most accurate thing I can imagine is THE BIBLEKIRA:
A pretty good depiction of Genesis, right up to Moses leadin' the troops out
of Egypt. Flash-forward to this dude named Jesus waving his hands for a
couple of minutes, then the universe blows up and we all go to heaven or
hell in a five-second sorting frenzy.
