What is hilarious to me is that I predicted this:
.. back when Luffy was still fighting Katakuri. People do not realize just how predictible they are in their critics and rethoric. There is nothing new, what is seen as the worst in Wano, was already used as an excuse to diss on whole cake at the time, and already back then, it was based on very little to no understanding of the story.
The only difference is that Oda demonstrated the irrelevancy of these critics by making what was subtle much more visible and mostly because people took the time to analyze the story correctly.
People who read the story now without their illegitimate expectations generally understand just how beautiful these stories are. Sadly, this won't be the case of the others and again, it's mostly because 4 reasons:
- The impatience in front of a story that takes its times
- A bad reading environment
- A bad analysis of the structures, thematics and subtilities
And of course
- Illegitimate expectations.
Sure
