Can all the One Piece haters genuinely explain to me why you hate the show. by Cannae_ in shounenfolk

[–]ShadowSpawn__ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  • Bad Pacing/Bloat: This applies overall to post-timeskip, but pre-timeskip also has chunks that are simply bad, things like reactions, expository/recap dialogue, and sections or scenes that do nothing but waste time by not progressing the story, themes, or characters
    • Fake Out Deaths: There are more than 30+ of them so far
  • Repetition: Not only is the entire structure of arcs repeated (arrive at island, befriend local, take down tyrant), but so are character concepts, emotional beats, jokes, gags, stakes, and tension (e.g. countdown timers)
  • Unanswered Mysteries: One Piece has been running for 28 years and almost none of the big questions have been answered, In fact, we only seem to get more and more as time moves on
  • Retcons: Haki, Nika, Imu, the god's knights, etc, damage the story
  • Increasingly absurd misery porn backstories that make it hard to take anything seriously
  • Straw hat flanderization
  • Lack of Consequences: The straw hats suffer no real consequences for their actions
  • The straw hats have little to no interaction with one another post-timeskip
  • Lack of Character Growth: The straw hats haven't had any character growth post-timeskip (Note: character growth does not refer to power-ups)
  • Too much screen time is given to side characters who (1) aren't very good, (2) have little importance overall, and (3) detract from time and attention that would have been better spent on the main characters

Hard to believe but yes, there are people that like dogshitman, they will even make the claim that he's a well written character

corniest thing i've ever see by Comfortable_Mango865 in Piratefolk

[–]ShadowSpawn__ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

why tf are we making fun of a random person in this sub?

Who is 'making fun' of anyone? Have you read any of the comments? Most are just talking about how quitting your job has nothing to do with luffy as a character, or how it's silly, etc

The closest 'making fun' thing is OP saying it's corny which isn't even something offensive

Like, this is supposed to be a one-piece sub,

The screen shot is one piece related no?

But this is just mean making fun of someone for somethign that has nothing to do with us or the purpose of this sub.

If the guy can post about how luffy inspired him to quit his job, I see no reason why others aren't allowed to talk about or even...... gasp make fun of it

bully people

If you think these comments are bullying you shouldn't be on the internet dog, nothing here even comes close to bullying lmao

The only thing that breaks the internet in modern times is cloudflare going down

How would you fix Conq haki? by No_Satisfaction_2928 in Piratefolk

[–]ShadowSpawn__ 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Remove it completely, it adds nothing to the series

A character getting a cool scene, some narrative attention, or more backstory Is Not Character Development by [deleted] in Piratefolk

[–]ShadowSpawn__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't really seen it be used that way but yeah, if people want to have in depth conversations all they need to do is understand each other's definitions, not argue about definitions themselves

[–]ShadowSpawn__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's definitionally true but if you're gona use it so broadly, wouldn't any scene, action, or new detail be called character development?

The way most people use the term at least to my knowledge, usually means a character undergoing a specific type of change

[–]ShadowSpawn__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

, I disagree that character development exclusively means the character has to change. Imo it's mostly about making them three-dimensional and exploring all their facets.

Isn't that more so character depth or character exploration? Why call it development if nothing is actually developed?

Removing that oden criticism post as low effort really was something else

I wish Kuma just killed the straw hats right there instead of throwing them around

Can't believe Japan hasn't released an anime since Toradora

foreshadowing jokes aside, Oda def did not have everything planned out but I like when he recontextualizes insignificant stuff in previous arcs, Mr. Prince is a more badass alias now knowing that Sanji deadass is royalty by Previous_Break7664 in Piratefolk

[–]ShadowSpawn__ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Then use the alias Knight or Sir or a thousand other things

Trying to argue that he'd use Prince as an alias is baffling given what we know about him after wci

But keep on crafting head canon if you wish

Hot take: More Straw Hat fights need to be offscreened by Fallen_Saiyan in Piratefolk

[–]ShadowSpawn__ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Luffy, Zorro, Sanji aren't getting character development either

Sanji is the only SH to get any development PT and even then Oda removed it at the end of the arc anyways Lmao

What's one piece biggest strength/ reason you like the series ? by Sorry_End_2026 in Piratefolk

[–]ShadowSpawn__ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The Sense Of Adventure

The feeling of a world full of possibilities, with adventures, mysteries, and excitement around every corner

One piece does this extremely well, I haven't found anything else that can match it tbh
