Well for me its more so to do with how her character was handled by oda than Big Mom herself.

I like Big Mom in the story for the fact that she is the few females who are actually strong, and her being a yonko adds to that. I like big Mom's powers, her soul fruit gave her combination powers of Ace, enel and now jinbe with her new water homie. I like big mom's character design with her classical tricone pirate hat. Big Mom building her crew through families and political marriages and alliances is also a new take that we haven't seen from the other yonko and pirates.

The big sticking point i have with Big Mom that I think what others are also saying, is that Oda just isn't putting big mom to good use, just like all his other female characters.(robin doesn't get fights, hancock was cool, but after marineford we haven't seen her since), and then we get all the damsel in distresses like Rebecca for example. Big Mom was teased back in fishman island, she finally made her debut in the WCI arc. She first started off to be shown as a calculating smart villan, but that quickly died when craved and screamed wedding cake for the rest of her arc. I liked big mom's backstory, but it didn't make me feel sorry for her. The wedding cake and hunger pang thing I feel like was really milked to death, and ended up leaving a bad taste in my mouth overall. Like I get it was Oda's way of trying to convey a unstoppable monster, but sometimes it just fell flat, made big mom look dumb.

My impression of female yonko Big Mom: really like the idea, but definitely could be written better. The biggest issue I have with big mom now is: what is Oda's endgame for her? We know Kaido will at least go down in a epic fight and might even walk free, in comparison what can we look forward to Big Mom in Wano? *crickets

If she's just gonna be in Wano for the ride or used as a plot device to help the straw hats then I rather her not be in the Wano Arc at all. Wont be surprised if big mom dies from a concussion by slipping on a banana peel at this point. :cautious:

I don't see why she gets so much hate tbh, not a great character but by no means as bad or boring as post-skip Robin, Foxy etc.
I will gladly die on this hill - Foxy is the dumbest, most pointless character in this entire series. Big Mom has gotten a ton of development and still has a huge part to play in the narrative; Foxy came in and made the Straw Hats play some stupid fucking game before disappearing forever when Aokiji showed up and the storyline truly kicked into action. His powers are cool, but they are completely wasted on him. He’s only returned in anime filler to be a generally annoying but completely harmless nuisance, and if he ever comes back into the main story, I will revolt against Oda as well as the trickster god who inhabits his skin. Fuck Foxy, he’s the worst character in One Piece.

Hands down. That or Hamburg.

All Long Ring Long Land did was emphasise unity within the crew and introduce an Admiral. Overall, that could've been done in so many other ways - it's such a bad arc. The only arc I dislike in the manga.

I will join you in protest!

I'm answering the question of the thread. IMO whilst Big Mom is an atrocious character, Sanji is even worse. If you don't wanna hear such opinions on characters, then it probably wasn't the wisest idea to open this thread.
This thing is about BM and you're turning it into Sanji flamebait

Also Sanji worse than Foxy? Wow. Like, I dont care if people dislike him, but to say one of the most important and developed characters is a worse fictional creation than Foxy? You're off your rocker!

It's about comparing Big Mom to other characters, and Sanji's apparently a character and not just a bad joke.

Sanji's infinitely worse than Foxy. I'm also taking into consideration his role in the manga as one of the main characters. Also couldn't help but chuckle at "most developed". So yes, I'd rather have Foxy and Big Mom in the manga than Sanji. :moonwalk:

Why do consider Sanji the worst?

I think Sanji is one of the great characters as far as overall concept is concerned but is handled atrociously. But Big Meme has no redeemed quality, she is shitty in concept and shitty in handling.

Anyways I have my reasons for why sanjis handling is atrocious, I am curious to know why you think Sanji is worse than Big Meme?
Post automatically merged:

In contrast to Sanji, Zoro is a basic character in concept but his handling is off the charts, especially pre TS. One of the most masterfully written characters ever

Main character we've known for decades, yet is embarrassingly underdeveloped. Trash personality. Has terrible morals and when literally the perfect moment arises to discard his stupid, nonsensical views he tells character development to fuck off and stays his same trashy self. His gag isn't funny in the slightest and only serves as a constant reminder of how his entire character is disgustingly hypocritical. He has a bland design. Weak willed. His character arc literally proved how much of a failure he was and confirmed the ideology of literal nazis to be superior to his own. He has no drive with his so called dream essentially being a joke at this point. He's an inconsistent mess with BS being made up at the whims of Oda.

Big Meme has a ton of bad things going for her too, but Sanji being a main character just has had more opportunities to show us how bad he is, and has her beat IMO.
