Edgar Wright would've been an ideal choice to direct a western take on Cowboy Bebop. Unfortunately that ship has already sailed and that series is already dead on arrival.

That's part of the reason films like Ready Player One are worse than you think in a greater context. It may just seem like a harmless popcorn blockbuster, but they're ultimately the bridge for clueless executives to convince themselves they understand these fandoms, buying the rights to beloved franchises which they ruin or disgrace with unrecognisable adaptions.
