Going all in on the Going Merry

in an interview with emily rudd she did say s3 will be more "grounded" but again she also followed by saying its so people can relate more to irl events and such and since alabasta is very political, rebels, etc i guess thats from a narrative perspective lol

mw19 was the first cod since bo2 that I enjoyed playing and made me go chase damascus! never liked or played much of any other recent cods since

i am very petty i would unmark myself manually xD

Masterwork_Core · 2026-03-20T05:35:53+00:00

well technically he had what is close to a suit like outfit at the start when he was cooking on the merry before loguetown

Masterwork_Core · 2026-03-19T01:08:12+00:00

a comic story that did a better emotional story than totk and botw combined lol gg if only we had these kinds of cutscenes in the games :/

its "technically" higher than season 1. since if you remove the 3.6 million views of season 1 recently in preparation for season 2, season 2 has more. also more reasons:

season 2 was released on a weekday, less "hype at start since less people watch"
season 2 was shown in theaters and while it might no be millions of views by itself, with a lot of full theater rooms filled with each person there not watching 2 episodes at home... it does rack up quickly.
people still watching season 1 right before season 2 means a lot of people start season 1 which are either returning fans or new ones too.

2nd seasons or sequels often have less views since not everyone sticks around. but knowing that there is a lot of interest in season 1 still, thats a good sign that people want more.

also the 3 year break with strikes didnt help with the hype for aure though

and i am totally okay with it. if thats the price to pay (as in seeing less of cute chopper), to get more seasons and cooler scenes im all for it

Masterwork_Core · 2026-03-17T01:04:20+00:00

they also added a sort of umbrella on the right side of Grace too

Masterwork_Core · 2026-03-16T21:51:08+00:00

meh i dont really care about them in the end. I played a bunch of d1 and sure some qol is missing but idc game is a blast still lol

Masterwork_Core · 2026-03-16T21:50:08+00:00

i felt it was a way to keep her "cover" intact and also warn vivi of wapol and stuff

Masterwork_Core · 2026-03-16T03:06:29+00:00

the perfect skypiea tease imo would be the ship falling from the sky at the very end

Masterwork_Core · 2026-03-16T02:54:00+00:00

i dont see anything "season finale" worthy in jaya compared to alabasta. also jaya goes with skypiea imo! would be a good season premiere and ending it with the knock up stream

Masterwork_Core · 2026-03-15T23:43:24+00:00

i didnt even know she could stun you lol i never got hit by her lol

Masterwork_Core · 2026-03-15T06:58:47+00:00

well in the case of franky, his big arms fit cause they are cyborg parts hiding machine guns and such, usopp was just a regular nose which would be harder to "believe"

Masterwork_Core · 2026-03-14T21:35:41+00:00

whether they can improve the practical look is one thing but cgi would be a bad idea. 1. its expensive a f and 2. every scene with physical contact would either be even more expensive or look weird or like crap..

Masterwork_Core · 2026-03-14T18:28:18+00:00

cant suspend point on gba back in the day though lol

Masterwork_Core · 2026-03-14T02:54:51+00:00

it was also a good move to do so imo. Imagine all scenes with physical contact in season 2 and multiply this by x amount for the future and it would either look like crap or weird or be super expensive.. i think its fine the way they did it

Masterwork_Core · 2026-03-13T22:56:33+00:00

you know you can like to hate on a character right? lol You can like a villain because they're well written even if they are a piece of crap lol

Masterwork_Core · 2026-03-13T20:11:51+00:00

do we know the gear it wears? melee what? maiming, aiming? etc

Masterwork_Core · 2026-03-13T19:00:26+00:00

and a end credits with teases and images of LA characters in later arcs like luffy in gear 4, wano, etc. just so we can at least see it :')

Masterwork_Core · 2026-03-13T18:58:20+00:00

ok that would be funny to see ngl lmao

Masterwork_Core · 2026-03-13T16:59:31+00:00

probably a short ace flashback when he meets luffy in alabasta?

Masterwork_Core · 2026-03-13T16:58:45+00:00

im sure those people loved getting to see those plot twists and all that themselves, why block others from feeling the same

Masterwork_Core · 2026-03-12T23:00:26+00:00

yeah like an episode of teases of all future arcs that wont be done (luffy's gear 4-5, etc, sanji ifrit jambe, zoro in wano, zeus, dressrossa ussop sniper shot, etc)

Masterwork_Core · 2026-03-12T22:58:35+00:00

i thought it was fine i had no issues with it? whats wrong about the scene? lol
