tbp posted:i think the story is pretty consistent with it's portrayal of Garp. he's a good guy in that his intentions are almost universally good, but he is a little bit of a coward in the face of the institutional evils he upholds. we learn a lot about garp during the marineford war - his personal morality is not strong enough for him to defy the status quo. he is instead half-in, half-out, defying orders when he can get away with it but executing them in other circumstances. Yeah, I can definitely see the intention behind Garps character and even if I judge him harshly for letting Ace die I can see why he would believe it's the right thing overall. But frankly, I have zero sympathy for anyone who knows what the Celestial Dragons are, could do something about it and chooses not to. If there's ever been a time where Garp stood by and let one of them enslave or torture someone without doing anything about it then gently caress him. That's why Fujitora is so cool, dude straight-up tried to meteor strike them first chance he got and then let a bunch of slaves escape. All while maintaining his cover. tbp posted:do any of you think the gorosei referring to imu as the "creator of the world" is more than just linguistic flourish or a reference to their role in the ascendancy at the time of the war? There's a theory about this, isn't there? That Imu or the World Government in general somehow literally created the grand line by pulling the mountains up that separates the oceans and that's why the worlds geography is so drat weird. I can buy it, personally. It would explain why they'd be so worshipful of Imu if they literally shaped the world as we know it. Nephthys fucked around with this message at 20:45 on Jun 17, 2023 |

I don't think they literally created the world, but they may be responsible for the shape of the current world. Both in political terms (setting up the celestial dragons and whatnot), and also creating the Red Line. Hmm, I could see it being a thing where the Red Line was their creation, and the Grand Line was created by Nika/the forces opposed to the WG. It's both philosophically the opposite of the Red Line (ocean, where things are wild and out of control at all times, as opposed to land controlled directly by the WG), and also literally perpendicular to it.

That ties into the common theory that One Piece is the means by which the four seas were created and by using it, both Lines will be erased and the world will be in One Piece also something something All Blue

I think with water everywhere, talks of arks and cleansing, Imu may have played a role in flooding the world or something cataclysmic 800 years ago.

Tbf to garp him betraying the Marines at marineford would cause tons of chaos and suffering beyond the local, so he's kind of locked in by his past choices for better or worse

“All great fighters call out their finishing moves” “No they don’t” Ok, that was a decent gag I’ll admit. Overall, the actors seem competent and the effects are better than I expected them to be at least but we’ll see how this goes
