The 'Netflix Adaptation' meme is a three-panel comparison format used to mock the quality or casting of live-action adaptations produced by streaming services. It typically features three images: the original 'Manga' source, the 'Anime' version, and a final, often underwhelming or absurd 'Netflix Adaptation.' The trend gained massive traction on Reddit and Twitter around 2018, specifically targeting the perceived drop in quality when transitioning from hand-drawn art to live-action. Today, it is used broadly to describe any situation where a reboot or sequel fails to live up to the original source material's standards.
