Imu’s blue hair fetish

If the One Piece turns out to be the biggest dry turd ever some people would still gaslight themselves into thinking that it was the ultimate display of Oda’s genius. This is what happens when someone turns some story into a sheer projecton of their own subjectivity: descending into it they can...

The intrinsic value of a work of art doesn’t concide solely with that of someone’s subjective experience… Moreover, i have a very hard time conceiving how the online reading experience, discussing with total unknowns, is any better than going to theatre/ movie theatre with my friends and making...

One thing Is praising One Piece, another is coming with a total uninformed and arbitrary take in the hope of being taken seriously.

How can you say that it you DIDN’T read old literature.

If engagement if the measuring stick of quality then majority of Soap operas, Marvel movies, and most of popular shonen and contemporary TV series far surpasses the greatest work of world literature: better if you stick to what you know.

Why do you love garbage so much?

Some people have really abysmally low standards…

I think this man has a fetish for losers

What if someone is an insecure young man who desperately wants to make his father proud?

People need to understand that Oda, whether he’s utterly incapable of conceiving nuances or he just doesn’t want to, conceive things solely in extreme terms, thus good people will be absolutely good and bad people absolutely bad. I don’t like it, I actually hate it, but that’s how it is: one has...

Oda is not capable of writing grey characters, even the ones who seem such at first eventually end up fully villains or heroes. I have the impression that he is terrorised at the idea of readers being confused about who should they root for, and so goes all the way to depict how absurdly evil...

I’m not sure whether you are agreeing with me or not but that’s exactly what I meant.

Being a tragic villain is not about not being a monster, it is more about suffering for one owns monstrosity while being oblivious to it (or in denial). A tragic villain is someone who’s the cause of one’s own misery, and nonetheless keeps doing the same horrible acts that amplify the pain...
