General & Others Oda Isn’t a Good Writer According to Pixar

[Weeman]

I woldn't use Pixar as writting gospel, a lot of their movies are very formulaic and fall into common tropes of western media

Pixar has 22 rules of writing which they believe is necessary when they write their scripts and Oda breaks almost every rule lmfao:

1. You admire a character for trying more than for their successes.
2. Keep in mind what’s interesting to you as an audience, not what’s fun to do as a writer. They can be very different.
3. Trying for theme is important, however you won’t see what the story is actually about until you’re at the end of that story. Now rewrite.
4. Once upon a time there was ___. Every day, ___. One day ___. Because of that, ___. Because of that, ___. Until finally ___.
5. Simplify. Focus. Combine characters. Hop over detours. You’ll feel like you’re losing valuable stuff but it sets you free.
6. What is your character good at, comfortable with? Throw the polar opposite at them. Challenge them. How do they deal?
7. Come up with your ending before you figure out your middle. Seriously. Endings are hard, get yours working up front.
8. Finish your story, let go even if it’s not perfect. In an ideal world you have both, but move on. Do better next time.
9. When you’re stuck, make a list of what WOULDN’T happen next. Lots of times the material to get you unstuck will show up.
10. Pull apart the stories you like. What you like in them is a part of you; you’ve got to recognize it before you can use it.
11. Putting it on paper lets you start fixing it. If it stays in your head, a perfect idea, you’ll never share it with anyone.
12. Discount the 1st thing that comes to mind. And the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th – get the obvious out of the way. Surprise yourself.
13. Give your characters opinions. Passive/malleable might seem likable to you as you write, but it’s poison to the audience.
14. Why must you tell THIS story? What’s the belief burning within you that your story feeds off of? That’s the heart of it.
15. If you were your character, in this situation, how would you feel? Honesty lends credibility to unbelievable situations.
16. What are the stakes? Give us reason to root for the character. What happens if they don’t succeed? Stack the odds against.
17. No work is ever wasted. If it’s not working, let go and move on – it’ll come back around to be useful later.
18. You have to know yourself: the difference between doing your best & fussing. Story is testing, not refining.
19. Coincidences to get characters into trouble are great; coincidences to get them out of it are cheating.
20. Exercise: take the building blocks of a movie you dislike. How d’you rearrange them into what you DO like?
21. You gotta identify with your situation/characters, can’t just write ‘cool’. What would make YOU act that way?
22. What’s the essence of your story? Most economical telling of it? If you know that, you can build out from there.

pixar sucks dick

Nobody sane can really say NW lived to the expectations that Oda himself wrote and hyped

Nobody sane can sit and say "wano has been great" lies !

You can’t seem to stop thinking about a childrens story though

And one piece has higher net worth than lixar

Just out of curiosity, you’ve been on WorstGen for a few months now…and do you intend to make a post, just one post, that isn’t riddled with lies that can be debunked by a 10 second google search?

One piece (not only Oda's)net worth 21 billion +
Pixar net worth 14 billion

I was confused about that as well. But it seems like One Piece net worth as a franchise is sperate from Oda's individual net worth, and it's estimated to be around: $20.515B

Oh I see. @MonsterKaido my bad.

So Toy Story by itself is worth more than One Piece? That’s just one Pixar film out of dozens lol.

[Peroroncino]

pokemon is worth 92 billion,those toys are no joke

 

[Lee Ba Shou]

Pixar my bad it's 8 billion lol

Toy Story, just the one Pixar film, is worth more than One Piece lol

 

[Weeman]

Click bait

And one piece has higher net worth than lixar

Using net worth is really not a good argument and only makes you seem like a fanboy, not to mention it being false.
By that metric then Disney as a whole tells the best stories out there but we all know that ain't true lol

Toy Story is more than just one film. As a franchise it consists of 4 movies, dozens of games, and tons of merchandises

Also the rights of Toy Story belong to Disney, not Pixer, Pixer simply produced it. But the rights and revenue are mostly Disney's

Oh I see. It says “animated film” underneath but I guess it’s valuing the whole franchise.

Then does One Piece’s number also include the anime/films/video games/other supplementary materials?

yup

 

[qwe]

Whole franchise lol including toys merchandise stuff etc..(most of which won't add to Pixar company)

Without merchandise and stuff it's

But still Pixar company < One piece net worth

 

[Finalbeta]

Oda had not necessarily to copy Pixar or heavily stick to its writing techniques. That's a predefined set of rules that doesn't necessarily fit a story like One Piece, in fact it would not in my opinion.
