Oda needs to let the antagonists get some Ws before trashing them.
I know a lot of people love Gear 5th Luffy and the warrior of liberation, sun god and savior of all things.
But if the villains don't actually do stuff, and get absolutely interrupted and defeated before doing anything, it doesn't feel nearly as hype when they are defeated.
Crocodile's defeat in Arabasta was great because he got so many fucking Ws in that arc, the situation felt hopeless for the protagonists so many times, yet they came out on top. That's what made it special.
in the New World, because of all the screen time given to dozens of characters at the same time, it feels like the Protagonists only have the time to come in and defeat shit on first try.
Poor Big Mom, two fucking arcs, and it feels like her only W was one shotting Page One i think. For the rest of her screen time, she was mostly a fucking joke.
