Le Fishe Thread Oda on writing characters

#1
Why oda haven't produced single great written strawhats despite having 1000+ chapters?
While other animes like code Geass, Vinland Saga e.t.c. have written 1000 time better character than entire strawhats or even entire one piece character with some animes having even less than 24 episode.
Is it because oda is victim of shounen?
Or
Is it cause oda don't know or don't care about writing characters and instead focus on world building and mystery?
Or
is it cause oda thinks single dimensional character with same repeated traits like
-luffy being stupid and saviour
-zoro getting lost and being manly
-nami being coward and gold digger
-usopp being coward and sometime showing braveness
-Sanji being pervert and sometimes showing coolness

Makes character more interesting.

define "better" character? a character that is "consistent" with their nature or character who do 180 the moment it contradicts their reality? or being "unpredictable" in their actions? or anything else?

By same definition you call sanji better written than zoro or franky
Zoro is consistent while sanji is contradictory.
Accept it dude oda hasn't produced single great written character

Because Code Geass and Vinland Saga are quite superior to One Piece.

- routine
- exhaustion
- too many characters and mysteries
- wanna hype everyone
- need to freshen his ideas
