In the end it's fictional character so it
I totally agree on that. I guess it also depends who he fights, if it's one of their fav then they definitely don't want to see him in a solo fight.
They have to understand that he is the mc and it's a normal path that he's taking rn.
Dude, against Queen and Cracker, they wanted Luffy to lose to "experience the New World hell" LOL. So, I dare say Queen and Cracker are not actually fan favorites
Sure, there are huge fans of those two. Same for jack. But those fans like them for their character. And not because of the obsession of defeating Luffy.
Dude, I'll tell you even a more fun one. We can all agree on Luffy being superior to Zoro, right???
Here is what I saw from the community during the end of Dressrosa when Luffy faced Fujitora.
"Luffy vs Fujitora??? It's too soon, run for it Luffy, you are idiot, you cannot face him...."
Then those same fans after Zoro said "tag me in"
"Woaaaaaaah" Strong voices and cheers LOL
