Holy shit this thread too, more people to add to my ignore list. This guy really want to hear himself talk. And I am not gonna subject myself through this. You know, you can just post one post. And from there, I can tell all of your opinion on the show. You ain't have to spam like a zillion f posts. What are you even trying to achieve? That everyone must feel all the negatives, depression, and pessimism. So everyone can be a ball of sunshine like ya? No need to response. Ain't reading it.
Anyway, Nami's theme by Aurora.
" I'll draw a map of the world Of lands unknown and untold I'll guide my ship towards the morn Through the raging waters The stars are pointing my way From quarter of the globe away And yet I feel so astray How did I get so lost?
I've always been taught to be brave and strong To see the hope when all feels wrong I've always been taught not be afraid And look the price, the price I pay I'm barely afloat My sails are set and I'm coming home I'm barely afloat My sails are set and I'm coming home
I'll sail my ship on my own Straight into the eye of the storm And when I conquer it all Will you still be my friend?
I've always been taught to be brave and strong To see the hope when all feels wrong I've always been taught not be afraid And look the price, the price I pay I'm barely afloat My sails are set and I'm coming home I'm barely afloat My sails are set and I'm coming home
Caught up in the whirlwind, the perfect storm Reduce my sails and risk it all Positions unknown and no sight on land But I command, full speed ahead
I've always been taught to be brave and strong To see the hope when all feels wrong I've always been taught not be afraid And look the price, the price I pay I'm barely afloat My sails are set and I'm coming home I'm barely afloat My sails are set, I'm coming home "

Also consider how all the child version of the strawhats, all of their actors are revealed. And Don Krieg bounty poster also revealed. I guess I kinda wrong. I am super curious on how they gonna include all the materials within 8 eps.
Naaah. It's entirely legit to be worried about a potential sellout of your favorite media, hence why this is a justifiable position - there can be no sellout in case of a flop.
I personally don't like the fact that this is an American product, regardless of what quality it may have in the end. It is overall a product of American cultural imperialism.

Also, the more pictures I see, the less convinced I am by the Sanji actor. He looks too much like a blonde Zoro with kicks and way too cleaned up for Sanji. They should have cast someone from Poland with blonde hair and black facial hair.
The Usopp casting looks genius though, not gonna lie. I also like the heavily metrosexual stereotypes of the Zoro actor, maybe readers will finally get the character...
The altered Baratie is horseshit completely missed the point here.

Out of all the very valid criticisms to have toward america- trust me, I've got truckloads of them- justifying your personal distaste of something that isn't out yet as some morally correct stance is bonkers-brained. "OPLA is cultural imperialism", good fucking lord.
As a line cook, hearing Zeff say that felt like a dagger to the heart. I love that Baratie doesn't have a dedicated FoH, and instead relies on its incredibly belligerent hornet's nest of a BoH to wait tables, that is wild.

The people in here claiming that it's just a few people have very obviously not seen the rest of the greater community lately. Shit kirosh over on reddit had to sticky a post to the current spoiler thread addressing exactly this. Thousands of big babies justifying explosive personal disappointment tantrums via moral arguments like they're fucking shareholders that are contractually obligated to get their free comic on an arbitrarily timely basis. "I'd never have read ASOIAF if I knew GRRM was never going to finish it" is an attitude I keep seeing, to which I have to say 1) Does it suck we'll never get a conclusion? Sure, but GRRM was never morally obligated to satisfy you as a consumer, and 2) wow it's a good thing Oda isn't GRRM or even in the same solar system when it comes to inconsistent artistic output.

Yeah, I'm trying to unsee some comments.
I want the Live Action to do well, because it will potentially bring in a new wave of fans and personally I enjoy watching people go through the one piece journey.
There's nothing wrong with being hopeful about that something, but there's something sinister in the pessimism I'm seeing lately, there's an element of selfishness where people want the LA to fail so Oda can just focus on us Manga readers.

As much as I overreact sometimes, this is still some what exceptable. What I am afraid of is another Rings of Power. Where people never talk about Tolkien before the show came out or after the show came out. That they claimed themselves as fans and make 100 of toxic videos. And then the people who were fans who talk about Tolkien before the show came out and after it came out. Those people who reviewed the show. And said well here are the good things about the show, here are the many many many disappointment and bad parts of the show. But because they don't go 10000% negative, and tying into this broader politics of white replacement, woke taking over, blah blah. The authentic fans became labeled as corporate shills. While the other people who are more of a hate watching fans of Rings of Power (because it is their bread and butter and how they made money), who secretly want the show to continue so they can made another 1000 more vids, they now became the real fans.
For the time being, despite I considered many of these comments are annoying as hell. But they still within the realm of real fans. Passionate fans. Who although I vehemently disagree with. They are still genuine. Their love for One Piece is rather toxic at time, but it is real.
But due to the nature of how political One Piece can be. And the okama and other elements, I really hope this don't invite these so called (not really) "fans" to make 1000 of vids. Captain Marvel is an example. It is such a middle out of the road movie that inspire not much passion for it or against it. And yet even before it came out. Channels like Geeks+Gamers (who mostly post about stuffs they hate than any stuffs they are a fan of) post so so so so so so many videos. That if you watch about 3 videos, you already know how the rest of them goes. They just repeated themselves over and over.
I really really really hope the expansion of One Piece fans don't invite the "anti woke" crowd and (on the opposite side) "everything is problematic" people over. I am bracing for this, regardless. Real life is already bad enough. I don't need to feel guilty or shame about enjoying something.

Nope, this is cultural imperialism. You don't own definitive authority over terms long discussed out in social sciences, so don't mistake them for my personal tastes.

Dude I know what the term means. Couching your opinion about OPLA from this moral high horse is patently absurd. Out of all the problems america has with cultural appropriation, I can't think of anything further down the list than OPLA and you're acting as if it's a cornerstone issue to be judgey about. You're being a buzzkill just to be a buzzkill but trying to frame it like there's some ethical merit to it. Fuck outta here.
What has the community come to eh?
The scene really reminded me of a restaurant you'd seen in the UK, I'm glad that they didn't try to fancy it up too much with accents etc.
It's looking promising so far, just 2 more days to go.

Basically. "Oda isn't working on what I want him to work on. He's being a bad slave, but that doesn't sound PC so I will throw in some garbage about cultural appropriation. Comfortably from Germany."
Live-action manga and anime adaptations have found little success. But in a rare interview, Eiichiro Oda discussed why Netflix’s series could be the exception.
www.nytimes.com
I cannot believe the NYT is writing about One Piece. The level of mainstream we are at right now. And that ODA was in LA (and may still is??). I hope he enjoyed himself I would have love vids of him enjoying the USA with his family. Reading reddit posts about people at the event and didn't even know Oda was there is pretty entertaining.
