Suddenly the chances of Blackbeard offscreening Shanks skyrocket.
So Oda gives the dude a movie in order to milk a little bit of his hype, since there will be none inside the main story.
Sadness and pain.

This is getting real old real fast.
I refuse to believe that stupid Will of Doomer/Defeatist theory/trope/cliche will happen personally.
Oda is not like other writers, he's full of surprises and very unique.
That said, the quality of the story has gotten much worse, we've got all these shitty death fake outs, offscreening, fake death news with Sabo (it BETTER be fake news) and silhouette fetishism.
Now Shanks's big move is a movie instead? Is it gonna be canon then? How the fuck is this gonna work? We're not gonna get Shanks backstory in the manga? We're gonna to have to rely on extra merch like this movie, light novels, databases, vivre cards etc instead? Oda milking the extremely long awaited for Shanks? Will Vegapunk get a similar treatment then?
So the SH initial teaser spelt OP Film Soon I'm guessing then? And the important letters being red was actually the name of the movie?
Fuck, I really don't know what to feel about this, what to think but honestly I really don't like where this is going. But finally getting more Shanks content and an actual focus on him at a movie quality, as an actual movie even ofc, will be amazing at least.
What next, OP Film Black for Blackbeard?
