ONE PIECE Live Action - Episodes Discussion Thread
- Thread starter Doggo
- Start date
Thin that in a season two will be more like
Ep1 Loguetown - Smoker and Tashigi, Zoro get new swords, Buggy and Alvida comeback, Dragon scene and they enter the GL.
Ep2 Whiskey Peak part1 - Laboon as is just cut, they just see a huge whale when entrering the GL as a Easter Egg and go for the first island, meet Vivi, star the while Baroque Works plot, Zoro cool fight against the Bounty Hunters
Ep3 Whiskey Peak part2 - attacked my more Baroque Works agents (Mr.5 or Mr.3), Robin introduction, Vivi or Igram give more info on how the Grand Line sailing works,
Ep4 Drum part 1 - we get more info on whats Smoker is doing, the SH get there, Nami is sick, pretty much the same plot, meet Chopper, Wapol came back, blablabla
Ep5 Drum part 2 - Finish the plot of Drum, Chopper joins, Ace and BlackBeard hints
EP 6, 7 and 8 - Alabasta
Dont think they will make a season with more Episodes, there budget limitations. Also cuting Reverse Mountain is a good thing for the production because of the amount of money for Laboon that is a very forgetable plot. For Little Garden, the Mr. Prince, Mr. 3 and etc plot can either happen in Whiskey Peak, with Mr.3 instead of Mr.5, or even they can fit him Drum, with he makinng a alliance with Wapol or even makinng he the villain of the Island instead of Wapol, as his powers are kind hard to make in CGI for a character that show UP for two episode the whole show and as a way to make Baroque Works part of all the Season.
Really doubt that Little Garden will happen, its just too much money for to little It add to the plot, like they would need a Jurassic park lvl budget for one episode. The important bits cant be mixed in Drum and Whiskey Peak episode, but if they really want i would just make Drum in EP 5 and Little garden in the EP 4, as Drum is more expensive to do so they would have one less Chopper episode and could try to spend this money on the Giants.
We have to understand that character like Crocodile, Smoker, Ace, Mr.1 and Chopper will consume a huge amount of the budget of the season, so they will have to cut It from other parts

, still Woro carry this shit
Halfway through season 1.
Zoro's flashback was so bad, hinting at Kuina having committed suicide would have made everything so much more impactful. What a pity.
Kuro was incredible, even tho I hated his ridiculous underlings.
Garp is everywhere, why did they tell us he is Luffy's granpa so soon? Helmeppo is perfect, I love him
I would have never imagined it would be so engaging, I'm actually really liking it
And now it is Sanji's turn. Please live action god, let it be good

I wonder how things move forward to a season 2 with the Hollywood strike still ongoing. The same reason season 4 of The Boys hasn't been released.
Part of it is requesting protection from AI, the one factor that has been predicted for decades to kill many jobs. If not all of them.
One Piece is at the very top atm:

Just got to complete it if you watch it on Netflix.

Episode 7:
- Glad that the LA follows anime tropes - NPCs all wear nondescript clothing! Coco village looked like a pile of grey and beige with a handful of colored clothes thrown in. Lowkey mad the bystanders/onlookers don't talk or mumble or just throw some comments in situations like when Nami arrived in the village, but rather just look on with a frown and let the big boys talk
- Nojiko spitting on Nami... bruh
- Genzo looks 1:1
- Child Nami > rest of the child Strawhats
- The overall flashback didn't hit nearly as good as the anime though, felt really rushed for some reason.
- Nojiko's actress somehow outcringes the MCs and all the villains so far.
- I can already see the twitter crowd going wild with the Fishman vs Humans agenda lol. Feel kinda bad for the showrunners for having to tackle this in today's climate
- Zeff and Garp dialogue - amazing addition. Neat world building with the Jaya mention, the Roger parallel to Luffy, and the overall change of generation theme. Shows they clearly can write normal sounding dialogue and still make it work within the story.
-I have no clue why they wrote the Cocoyashi villagers to be such idiots and change the original plotline for worse. Everyone in the village knew about Nami's struggles but pretended to be assholes to make it easy on her, except for Nojiko who shared heart to heart talks with her in private.
But in the LA, everyone's in the dark even though Nami's clearly regularly diggin up her mom's grave to put money in the chest, and no one noticed till now.
- Emily Rudd is great and deserves even more success after this show. She nailed the "Help me."

Episode 8:
- The finale is among the shortest episodes of the season? Wut?
- Man, I despise Makenyu's acting. Good Lord does he have to be so bland 25/8? East Blue Zoro is a goldmine and he reduces him to Mr Stonewall here. Who hyped this guy up as a good actor?
- Chew vs Usopp is a welcome sight
- Luffy is really underwhelming, strenght-wise. I'll chalk it down to the CGI needed for his DF powers, but he feels very average
- No Usopp Hammer or Rubber Band of Doom...feelsbadman.jpg
- Never thought they would keep the teeth regrowing scene, but here we are. Actually looked really good
- Sanji vs Kurobi was cringe lol, they massacred my boy
- Gum Gum Battle Axe and Gum Gum Gattling were cinema
- Luffy gets burried under tons of rubble The Crew: Casually stands around emotionless
- Cool to see that they kept the bounty reactions as a thing in the LA as well.
- The Shanks and Mihawk scene was short but sweet. Shanks is good too, idk what people are smoking
- The Smoker tease at the end was a nice little nod especially since they're going all in with his multiple-cigars-at-a-time gimmick. Even his gloves are there!
Overall:
The Live Action is good. Some moments are subpar and even bad, all of which are due to an overreliance on anime tropes. There are also great and even amazing moments. A favorite of mine, just like in the anime, is Mihawk slicing the ship in half.
Could it have been even better? Duh, ofc. But it still looked really cool.
The main things they should look to improve are the dialogue and fight coreography. They nailed it for Zoro, Usopp and Nami. Now let's find a way to make it work for Sanji and Luffy especially. The weight and speed of their punches and kicks needs to be felt, or at least made more creative.
After that, my main pet peeve was a diminished sense of grandeur:
- Syrup Village - Kuro has 2 crewmates with him, the fight looks more like a home invasion
- Baratie - Nobody is there to witness the fight between Mihawk and Zoro
- Conomi islands - We know there are multiple villages on the island, yet it all feels like a ghost island. Nobody exists in it unless they're part of a small mob in 2 scenes.
They really need to make the world feel like people live in it. Easter eggs are cool and all, but let's fill the streets up with extras, ya know. Let's hear people talk, argue, laugh while stuff is going on.

@NikaInParis @Z-Saber check the jap voice dubs, gives you half of the Zoro the show needed.
Fact is the actor doesn't have a deep voice.

Yeah, I can't blame him for the voice he has but I just thought his body language and delivery were flat most of the time. I checked out the LA JP dub trailer and the one thing I took away from it was that Zoro was a lot better in that. I probably won't watch that dub because for the most part, I don't think their anime voices sound like real people so it'd probably clash hard.
