I'm enjoying the show but drat like a third of it is extremely boring flashbacks.

They're so weird. They're all the same fundamental story: a child has big dreams, but then the person they had a crucial relationship with dies and they're sad. And the characters don't really change between the flashback and the present tense. "You know this character that's really into pirating/cooking/swordfighting? Well, when they were a kid, they were also really into that."

I would absolutely cut them completely. So far, not one of these scenes has added a single thing to the dynamic that wouldn't have been better addressed in one (1) brief line of dialogue and they distract from the dope pirate adventures happening in the present, slamming the brakes on the pacing.

Feel like they aren't really selecting the crew based off of skill, plucky attitude and big dreams seem to be the main factors.

Can someone elaborate on what the Devil Fruit tradeoff is? Like, it makes you weak to sea water but it looks like sea water just takes away your powers until you find a towel. That's not really a tradeoff, when your great weakness just makes you a regular guy.

She kind of reminded me of Maya Hawke in Stranger Things.

Sanji looked like the dude from Fitz and the Tantrums.

I thought it was Maya Hawke until I saw a cast list, she looks and sounds just like her.
