The Exciting Promise of ‘Monster’
“Monster” is a psychological thriller anime and manga series that has regained significant popularity among the viewers globally due to the complex plot and philosophical overtones.
The plot is based on the life of a successful neurosurgeon named Dr. Kenzo Tenma who changes his life and saves the life of the psychopath boy who then turns into a killer. Due to its character development and interesting plot, “Monster” is considered to be one of the best thriller series ever created.
When it was announced that HBO will be producing a live-action series of “Monster” with the visionary director of ‘Pan’s Labyrinth’ and ‘The Shape of Water’ behind the helm, fans could not be more thrilled. Del Toro’s ability to mix fairy tales with realistic horror appeared to dovetail well with Urasawa’s thriller.
HBO Pulls the Plug
But the joy did not last long. Unfortunately, it became known that HBO agreed to cancel the project, which upset the fans and left the adaptation adrift. The specifics as to why have not been fully explained, however, this is a crushing blow to fans who were ready to embrace del Toro’s vision of the series.
Many people find this feeling like a missed opportunity of epic proportions. Guillermo del Toro has the experience of telling thrilling, moody and engaging stories for the big screen. His fresh vision could have brought a new experience of ‘Monster’ to the viewers who might have not seen the anime or read the manga.
Fan Reactions: Anger and Disappointment
The fans have reacted violently to the news. The social media is alight with posts making people express their anger and discontent. Some people think that it would be unwise for HBO to put such a promising project on hold. This has even led to the creation of the tag #SaveMonster in order to persuade the network to change its mind.
What’s Next for ‘Monster’?
However, all is not lost for the live-action adaptation, as there is still hope moving forward. There is some hope that Del Toro didn’t completely abandon the idea of making “Monster,” and he is rather seeking other ways to realize it. Whether this means seeking a different network affiliation or experimenting with formats, fans hold their breath.
