Thankfully none of the guys have to start hitting the roids right away, and the ladies have plenty of time to schedule them boob jobs even if we do get more than 2 seasons.

Also possibly some rib removal.

Also wow I made the mistake of going into the quote tweets for a post about Yamato oof

I’m not stupid enough to check, I’m guessing The Thing is using Yamato’s proper gender?

Indeed and one can almost guess the responses without look. "HACTUALLY you will see in the Vivre cards Oda-sensei listed Yamato as 'female' and furthermore-"

Sorry, but some of the arguments in the responses are so loving stupid that they are golden.

I will never get tired of 'official localizers are so terrible I'm gonna learn Japanese myself' and then find out that they were translating what was actually said anyway. Like doesn't Luffy call him 'Yama-O' which is basically 'Yama Guy?'

They use he/him for Yamato on the OP wiki, which is nice. Small victories, I guess.

There was also a good portion of the arc where it really felt like Yamato was going to become a crew member, so it would have been a trans main character

Man, there should be a bingo card for Yamato whenever somebody says 'him.' Although there's honestly not that many spaces for it aside from the Vivre card.

People keep commenting on Netflix' stingy nature over the past several years but frankly I wouldn't be surprised if the reason they've done so is so that they could actually afford to do One Piece without going bankrupt.

Oh, nah. Netflix had two folks who didn't have to agree on things to greenlight series so the whole service was a big 'Mom said no, go ask Dad' deal so the right hand cancels what the left hand did and vice versa unless they're a runaway success. (As the recent strikes show Netflix is extremely reluctant to admit to quantify what they consider a runaway success.)

It seems like she's part of the fight at the base judging trailer scenes. Also it looks like Arlong is at Buggy's circus in one scene. My guess is they're expanding Arlong to be more involved in the overall plot of East Blue.

Which makes sense with Fishmen being a big deal in that part of the ocean and probably sets up a big fish small pond joke somewhere.

Tampa Bae posted:

I think they should go full kung-fu movie and have her extremely good at using her staff but just helplessly outmatched by everyone else once they hit the grand line to drive the point home that even though Nami was extremely competent on her own, the grand line is so much bigger of a deal. At the same time, make Usopp become Batman much quicker because he didn't have enough time to shine in Season 1. I'm still fine with the monster trio, especially since Zoro's introduction was Just casually cutting someone in half which is almost as badass as his "Nothing Happened" panel

I know Nami gets her power up with the Clima-Tact but it's one of those things that makes me cringe to think of at the cost of making it look good.

I love that the only actual bounty numbers you see in the Live Action also successfully mask just what a huge loving difference there is between the East Blue and the Grand Line Paradise (and in turn Grand Line New World and then Emperor Level poo poo). By the end, everybody is amazed at Luffy having the highest bounty in the East Blue, but Mihawk's canceled bounty means you don't see what his was and you can't see what Roger's bounty was on his poster. Seeing those figures this early would completely destroy that sense of scale and I love how the bounties making wild jumps up over the course of the manga slowly primed the audience for the crazy amounts the Emperors or Roger etc have on them, while still letting the figures Luffy etc get still seem like big deals in the moment as they get them.

When we get to Robin hers will probably be the highest we've seen at the time, yeah?

I really like Arlong in live action. The look is a little off but I'm not sure what you'd have to do - or more accurately spend - to get a more comic accurate representation. Great performance, though, like all of them.

Love how they lean into everything. Garp? Yeah, he gets his doggy head ballcap. Just sitting there eating nothing steaks and drinking whiskey like a champ.

I find it kind of funny that they made Buggy extra sinister in his live action debut only for him to immediately revert to his usual self in every appearance afterwards

Now we get the wonderful arc of Buggy failing upwards.

The amptp are not doing anything in good faith so they continue to lose money and hire PR people to make it seems like they are the poor CEOs being bullied by those nasty writers and actors. Personally I hope they all go on submarine adventures.

It's funny how badly it's working too, like nobody is on the CEOs side. They genuinely do not seem to understand that we've been able to see all the stuff they're saying, like driving the WGA into homelessness and nobody is shouting at the writers and actors to get back to work because we've all got a lot of content to keep us going for ages.
