Powers & Abilities The actual reason why Luffy has a Mythical God fruit and why the Nika asspull occured

This particular excuse doesn’t work because no one who saw Luffy liberating people and saving the oppressed thought that somehow meant that his fruit was different from what it actually was.
Neither has a bearing on the other whatsoever. Luffy’s actions still work the same way even if it were just the rubber fruit. If anything, transposing his actions as a property of the fruit is just terrible because of how completely unnecessary it is.

Godfy's most loyal soldier
Those sunglasses add +0 attack damage.
He didn't use his DF more than what he thought so far was possible of the gum gum fruit. He has yet to realize its true potential.
If you would read the entire part you would have understood. But you just conveniently cut out a part which is dishonest and misleading.

The Sun God has been hinted multiple times in the manga and so I think it has been planned all along for Luffy to be Nika.
Oda just didn't make it obvious enough.
About Kaido though, I agree that Kaido was too strong for the rubber abilities to be enough. This was evident on the fight itself as Luffy couldn't defeat Kaido with G4 + AdvCOC. Well, Kaido has an assist with Mr.Go but if Kaido was able to fight G5 to an extent, I think eventually G4 would've lost regardless.
The way Oda made G5 awakening is what's bad, you literally can't make any conclusions other than the user had to die for the fruit to be awaken which is just truly disappointing.
Couldn't Oda have in a way teased G5 awakening during Luffy's and Kaido's first confrontation when Luffy got knocked out? Like Kaido sensing Luffy's COC but also senses something quite different?

You're calling it misdirection as cope mechanism
For 1040 chapters nobody ever said he wasnt rubber or was more than rubber man, that's not misdirection anymore, that's just retcon asspull.
Gomu gomu being special doesn't mean it had to be mythical coz there was nothing making this fruit be zoan/mythical.

Oda already explained why he went that road with Luffy. It was just so he could have more fun while drawing Luffy's fights, he doesn't like drawing fights, this way is funnier for him.
In order to do that he had to make the fruit special somehow.
Was it a good idea? Not for me but it is what it is. I can still enjoy Luffy's character, just not his fights (although maybe Oda will handle his fights better in G5 in the future, right now he doesn't really know what to do with it).

For all intents and purposes, at least the way I see it, Kaido is still top 5, if not top 3 in the verse, And I appreciate Oda making clear it took 15 people to take him down, just find it anticlimactic the way he went down, that's all.

I don't agree, people predicted it long long ago, about that African tribe that makes everyone dance, like literally 10 Years.
STILL, despite not being so much of an asspull, otherwise people wouldn't have been able to predict it.
for ME, it completely killed any tensions going forward, literally the worst decision of oda
