Am I the only one ...

... who just hates "Cowboy"?

Not least because the Napoleon I'm familiar with isn't one.

Oh well.

No you're not.

Both of them seem to have very different characters, though the change in Illya's may not be as offensive as the change in Napoleon's. Did you see the 5 min walkthrough vid they showed at ComicCon? Napoleon is just obnoxious, a walking smirk.

I'm not one of those people who's been waiting 50 years for a remake so in one way I don't care, but I reserve the right to grumble ;)

Everything you said. They're fully entitled to rethink the characters - why not? But it's one more motivation for me to stay away. I do get that they mean to be introducing the guys to each other and in theory, through the "franchise," they'll gradually warm to each other somewhat, but it's said in such a nasty tone (yes, he too is a different person). And if they've made Napoleon a cowboy ... how boring. I like that he's a thinking man, a strategist and not someone who just plunges into things like a thug.

Ah, whatever. Like you, this movie isn't made for me anyway, so ...

Edit: Yes, I think I've seen all the previews. There were little moments of fun, but it just looks so generic and so modern (that's Guy Ritchie. All the depth of a sheet of toilet paper).

I honestly don't get the desperate need for remakes among fans. And again, I think this kind of episodic series television that isn't really script driven is among the worst source material for remakes anyway.
