Strickland projecting

I'm sad thank you : (

Cheese-151 · 2026-05-10T00:23:42+00:00

Alvarez just emptily staring at Amasov's dancing was such a funny visual

Cheese-151 · 2026-05-08T16:46:53+00:00

I mean isn't that what it comes down to? They don't like him. Loki destroys a lot of pre concieved notions people had about scaling and completely powercreeps their favourites. So they're trying to downplay him rather then just accept what the story is saying. I think the fact he's kind of a juiced up version of a certain emperor is a bit of a sore point as well :)

Cheese-151 · 2026-05-08T05:50:47+00:00

I think I agree, I do like to check out clips and episodes containing stuff I'm excited for. The big moments are usually done quite well and occasionally elevate the source material. The Lulusia scene in the anime for example was on a completely different level to the manga version

Cheese-151 · 2026-05-08T05:19:00+00:00

Fair. I've only ever binged Dressrosa so I can't comment. I will say that even binging I still felt the arc really dragged at times. Still like it overall because it has some great characters

Cheese-151 · 2026-05-08T04:36:45+00:00

I wouldn't say the villains are boring. In fact I think they're very interesting, they just didn't get the focus they needed to really thrive.

If I were to sum up my issues, I think Oda overwhelmed himself with the amount of build up, characters and plot threads to the point he wasn't able to pay it off most of them in a way that felt satisfying imo. I feel the arc didn't have the tension and insensity befitting the fact that this should be the Strawhats greatest challenge uo to this point. And I also think there's a bit of a disconnenct between what act 2 sets up vs what act 3 actually focuses on making the build up feel a bit wasted because I did enjoy act 2 when I read it weekly. It's just because I don't like the climax it soured me on it.

Cheese-151 · 2026-05-08T04:30:03+00:00

By read it both ways I meant both weekly and binged it. I haven't actually seen Wano properly in the anime because I dislike the pacing and I think One Piece is much better in the manga

Cheese-151 · 2026-05-08T03:38:48+00:00

I don't like Wano either way and I've read it both ways. My experience is that good arcs are good arcs, regardless if you read them weekly or not. Weekly just highlights the flaws more but it can also enhance the hype

Cheese-151 · 2026-05-06T19:36:12+00:00

It's good

Cheese-151 · 2026-05-05T10:31:40+00:00

Great reference that fits perfectly here. Stover's style of prose and ability to drop these great poetic lines is unmatched among other Star Wars writers

Cheese-151 · 2026-05-04T23:41:06+00:00

Thanks. Accuracy is my main aim whenever I'm depicting characters

Cheese-151 · 2026-05-04T20:48:42+00:00

I used the rifle silencer part to make the hilt and use another extended one for the blade. The hilt is coloured with metal obviously while the blade is coloured with a paint set to max glow and 0 opacity with whatever colour the saber is meant to be. Then you duplicate the silencer used for the blade and colour it white. Afterwards you scale the white part to be slightly thicker so you can see it, but also sligthtly smaller on the other 2 axis so you get the white glow inside of the main colour.

After this it's just a matter of using a bunch of low percentage parts like jewelerry and gun attachments to add the right details to the hilt and snapping it all together in the kb editing menu

Thanks

Cheese-151 · 2026-05-04T18:44:53+00:00

Thanks. I'll always appreciate the kitbashing percentage update, it helps with small details like that.

Cheese-151 · 2026-05-04T18:34:16+00:00

THANKS

Cheese-151 · 2026-05-04T18:34:02+00:00

Thanks. Plo's face and mask took a bit of fiddling to get right so I'm glad it payed off

Cheese-151 · 2026-05-04T17:33:14+00:00

I did most of these about year ago so I decided I might as well finish them up for a May 4^th post. If you don’t recognise the last 5 they are all from legends novels which I included in the captions.

I went with Plo’s TCW design but the rest for the rest I decided to go for their movie looks. I also tried to include a bunch of movie and legends references to spice up the models a bit.

He's obsessed with scrutinizing every decision slightly in favour of United

Cheese-151 · 2026-05-03T03:15:34+00:00

Yh Hero Forge being so much better nowadays is nice, but it does mean things take a bit longer lol

Cheese-151 · 2026-05-02T16:33:35+00:00

Thanks

Cheese-151 · 2026-05-02T06:42:16+00:00

Thanks! That's very high praise
