General & Others Stop judging an arc while it is going on ffs

Season one" is different because manga isn't tv. As a very general concept even, it's different because no continuing story starts out fully formed even when the writer or director has the strongest vision.

As a true example to your question, I didn't find Game of Thrones interesting in the first three episodes. As the season went on I started to enjoy it more, and the season was enjoyable enough as a whole that it made me enjoy the first three episodes. If I looked back and didn't enjoy the first season I wouldn't continue watching. If the first six seasons were good and seven sucked, I'd also stop wasting my time there. I wouldn't invest the time into something I'm just bitching about now matter how far I got. I actually stopped GoT while I was enjoying it anyway because of the time it takes to sit and watch. Not that I think everyone is like me but I'm curious about how disagreeing with not wasting your time does anything for you lol.

But again, don't get caught up on making a show analogy. It's so different than talking about a serial that's almost 25 years old.
Yea it’s not exact since it’s two different mediums etc. But tha point I was making was, jus cause it MIGHT get better doesn’t mean people can’t say they don’t like what’s going on RIGHT NOW

Not to mention, like was said before. Wano is longer than multiple arcs put together. There is PLENTY of chapters/panels etc out to judge tha arc to this point

Well ts one piece is a way better read in bulk than weekly it still doesn't fix the flaws of the arcs.
Another issue is how Oda priotizes being unpredictable. It leads to unessary bloated arcs and undermines the set up done for the arcs.

Just look at Sanji in Onigasha he went from:
> live floor
> up the floors
> to mera
> to go to Momo
> to go back to live floor

Also the weekly reading experience for dressora and and wci was dreadful near the end of arcs.

I have been reading weekly for 12y and have to agree with u that people jump into conclusions to soon, and we can see this in how one character can go from being weak to strong in the eyes of the public very fast, we have seen this with Apoo, when the idiots started to say he was the stongest supernova after he attacked Luffy, and that Luffy is trash and a lot of shit.


But at the same time Wano have been not like the other arcs, its have become too boring and big, with characters that no one care about, like the people from Wano, outshining the crew and the supernovas and Oda spending endless time in plotlines that change nothing to the story, like, wtf was the Ice Oni shit? If u read the earlier arcs they too have some useless plots, but Oda solve them in quickier, in Wano he have been draging too much, look at the Scabbards in Onigashima, what have they done that was usefull? Nothing. And Big Mom? Oda dont know what to do with her soo he came up with amnesia and this "mother mode". It have become sad to this point to read and think that this is One Piece.

Seems like Oda was trying to make something big with Wano, but he build so many thing that now he dont know how to solve It, and the masive number of characters makes that no one can have a interactions for more than 1 chapter because he need to show the random Wano people crying about Oden. Its kind like he wanna make a mix of Ennies Lobby and Marineford, and wasnt able to make nothing close to it.

The great show of how bad is Wano, is that the best chapters of the Arc are the ones that show the outside world.
I agree with everything on this and i also a weekly reader for 15+years. I rarely complain about any arc but that Olin and motherly mode is a disspointment. The scabard vs Kaido was necessary for me and them being defeated that easy was also good. But for them to come back healthy this fast, as fast as an ancient zoans (jack) whose main power was said to be on their regeneration is another disspointment and i can see that this is for another dragging purpose. The BMP to be stomped twice by the same fashion was also another disappointment and i feel as if it was for another dragging purpose in the future. For Orochi to be back to life is okay as I feel it will resolve the cp0 plot. But Kanjuro should have stayed dead as well as the scabard should have stayed out of the fight. But this is just what i think. As for the rest of the arc, i enjoyed everything, even Udon (apart of Olin plot)
