At the rate the series is going, they may have to recast the more human Straw Hats once the timeskip happens, if it ever goes that far. Luffy's actor is going to be well into his thirties by the time that happens, and no one is gonna buy he's only meant to be 19 as just one example.
If they keep in the Franky recruitment scene I'll rescind any complaints about jokes involving female genitalia.
Stuff like this is why I struggle to hate the live action. It's not my cup of tea but the effort going in behind the scenes and this sort of PR work compared to the behaviour around the Cowboy Bebop live action is admirable.
Giant Bros are as cool as they can be
Just wanna say I can't stand people who only got into OP because "the fights are lit" then you see them whine about "pacing" because their shounen battle anime actually has a story it wants to tell. Not saying Comic Drake is this type of person in fact the video makes the case of what makes One Piece so different.
You mean this one?
But did his pants eat Drinker's ice cream?
You know, I am so tired of creators shitting on fans and reviewers that positive interactions are like ten cheeseburgers to a beggar for me.
I am all for creators being nice to fans and commenting.
A rare phenomenon to see nowadays. It is rare to see creators worthy of praise as well.
i'll be honest i do like the atmosphere around the show even though i still have my issues with it being live action. At least Oda is proud of the work that has gone into it and there seems to be little to no contempt which i wholly agree is rare nowadays. This is what these hollywood western types should be getting from this show if anything just respect the source and stop treating the fans of it like they're an inconvenience.
Exactly. I genuinely feel that every cut was painful with OPLA. There was never the impression that changes were made because the showrunners thought they were better than Oda.
I was upset about Don Krieg getting reduced to a cameo, but it makes sense in the context of a live action series that has to cut the first 100-ish chapters into thirteen episodes. I'm sure if Netflix didn't clamp their nuts, they'd do a lot more than they're able to.
Admittedly, live action One Piece looks expensive as fuck to make with all the sets and VFX work. I can understand even Netflix getting sweat around their collars with that budget and wanting to keep the season slim.
