Film is still considered a more prestigious medium, so it frequently drains absurdity and color from its source material. A franchise like Ace Attorney, which trades entirely on ridiculous characters enacting sincere murder investigations, would seem difficult to adapt. Luckily, Ace Attorney had a director with an almost religious devotion to keeping things unhinged.
