It looks so bad and lame. If you can't do it animated, just don't do it. I don't care how good you think your CGI is, it looks like Bridge to Tarabithia

The blank background sets a mood, and the artist can convey so much about the characters and their feelings and their relationship just from how they're placed, and with a few lines and shading. You just can't do that with live action- it just looks like two people sitting on a bench. A huge part of the visual storytelling that made this panel unique and interesting is lost.
but if it's animated you can't go "woah look it's Tywin Lannister, I'm glad that dude's still getting work"
If it was animated they would never be able to afford animation to make it look like the comic and we’d be shifting on it for looking like dragon prince or that Greek mythology show Netflix has.
You're touching on something here that I've been thinking for a while. Unless you have top tier actors doing multiple takes with a director that is genuinely brilliant and focused on recreating scenes accurately you can't do something that should be animated in live action.
The problem is that art and animation can be redone until the scene is perfect, until the body language is perfect and conveys the exact emotion intended. Actors performing can't do that, and they don't have the third person perspective of the work that the artist does anyway. They can't see what they're not getting right while in the scene, and their individual personalities can get in the way compared to the character on a sheet of paper.
