Looks like you get the "Greatest Robot" in a "sequel" of sorts. Astro (or maybe they will actually call him
Atom in this film?) will most likely be played by a real child.
Could be very cool in a different kind of way!

Doesn't it really need to be live action? I mean really, now I'm starting to hate the idea of the pluto movie.

You remind me of a bunch of gaming communities who judge things,
before we even know anything about it.
We don't know if it will be action'y, we don't know how accurate it is, we don't even know if they're even going to make this. We don't know a thing.
I really don't like it when people are judgmental towards things when we have so little information on.

I guess that makes sense but I'm very skeptical about this right now. I could be wrong and this movie might be good but I'm just really not sure. I'm just not sure if that's really a good idea, that's all.

You literally need to forget about DBE, as the way I see it, it's clouding your vision. Yes America makes occasional bad movies (The Astro Boy film was made by a company from Hong Kong actually), but not all their films were bad.
I mean, seriously.

A lot of comedy/pathos could be derived from that. And I realize I'm in the minority about this, but I really don't want to see Uran or Cobalt in a sequel. I'd prefer that Astro be a singular creation. It adds to his angst.

In "The Greatest Robot Ever Made" Uran was involved in the story. Zoran was even more involved in the '03 series in a similar episode which was episode 13 "Rise of Pluto". So Zoran would be kind of a big part of a sequel, and it might add a little more fighting since Astro would want to protect her.
I can agree that you might not need Cobalt, I mean, after all that character was ditched in the '80s and '03 series, but you would need Zoran/Uran.

Like I said, Zoran/Uran must appear in the sequel for it to work.

I know, but I just felt like explaining it myself to Laughing Dragon.

I would submit myself to be astro's friend/lover/crush/gf that would be my role!
