I think a lot of people in our generation just had snape killed dumbledore spoiled for them when they were young and it broke their minds and created spoiler culture as we know it today.

One Piece doesn't do traditional shocking twists too often but it does like using surprises to help serve big emotional setpieces. Like if you read the Zou flashback knowing about Raizo the entire time you don't get the sudden recontextualising moment that helps sell the bravery of the minks

I mean, it’s kinda one of those things you could probably infer based on Oda’s sense of humor, like how a few people guessed that Bart wanted the Burn Burn fruit because he was a huge Luffy fanboy, because it would be really funny.

This is a manga where the main character threatens to quit being a pirate if the guy who knows about the One Piece tells him anything about it Don't go on boring adventures, kids. Don't spoil yourselves.

I've been reading this old rear end manga weekly long enough that I remember somebody in discussions guessing the Duval reveal beforehand and quite a few people jumping on it as it would be a hilariously Oda thing to do, but yeah I don't know if I'd say it was a popular theory.

Theres absolutely been a culture shift in how we approach stories and spoilers. I meant the broken mind thing facetiously and was jokin around I didn’t mean for that to overshadows my point

Just came back to this after I dont know a decade or whenever the timeskip happened. This poo poo is still amazing although the fisherman arc was one of the worst imo in the new world so far. Not sure if I am in the minority there.

The idea that the concept of a spoiler is a modern thing is dumb revisionism and provably not true, Homer Simpson spoiling the ending to Empire Strikes Back was supposed to be him being a jackass.scary ghost dog posted:my grandmother would have killed me if i told her even fake spoilers for a book she was reading. i’m sure her grandmother was the same. i’d wager that this has been the default behavior for all of human history until it became possible to arbitrarily “spoil” things for strangers over the internet and the ones with the “broken minds” are actually the people who love reading wiki summaries of stories to see if theyre worth fully engaging Those "AI voice reading summaries" accounts are so popular and for what?

There's a lot more in Fishman Island that relates to the wider story than Thriller Bark - Poseidon, the ark, the prophecy, likely the overall status of fishmen in the world as well. I do like Thriller Bark more as a standalone adventure though.

I was just excited to get off Sabody and see the crew in the new world. Also Hordy is such a little bitch, he is literally 0.1% the villain Moria is. They do a horrible job setting him as a threatening villain, you know Luffy is always gonna punch the bad guy in the face at the end but with Hordy there wasn't even a single doubt of that. The backstory behind why he did what he did and the things he did is interesting, there are some great themes of social divide which OP always hits but I mean purely as a combat threat, I never felt that.

So people can save time from doing a fun activity? i think their popularity has to do with media oversaturation: there are, genuinely, too many loving things to watch between television, films, and video games, so hearing and seeing a story in microcosm that you might otherwise never get around to has a certain appeal. it's effectively the same principle behind LPs

I mean, Hordy’s first fight is getting smoked by Zoro underwater, with him going SSJ Blanco because he ODed taking pills to recover from the fight. I don’t think we’re meant to be impressed by Hordy Jones, the whole point of him is that he just has hollow, warped, inherited generational hatred of humans from people who actually did suffer and witness suffering at their hands like Fisher King, the guy who hated humans deep down for a good reason, so much he literally died from it, but made a sincere earnest effort to not just do what Hordy did and blindly hate and show compassion to humans oppressed and victimized by others.

I dont get the shirahoshi hate. Locked in a room her entire life due to her heat-seeking psycho pedophile stalker that the entire kingdom somehow couldnt stop. As princesses go she had a hosed up time of it and she's really stepped up.
