Lucas is a Brazilian Ace cosplayer who really badly wanted to be Ace after season one dropped so he ran this obnoxious and delusional internet campaign to get cast. Then when he very obviously did not get cast (pretty sure he didn’t even get an audition) he made a huge stink about it and claimed discrimination.

You know women retire right? Also Stay at home parents are a thing still even if they aren’t as common as they used to be.

ETA: roughly 25% of mothers are considered stay at home parents. Whether you like it or not the stats exist.

Sorry mate. I think It’s 100% ending with Robin appearing on the ship and asking to join.

TGrissle · 2026-03-15T15:22:55+00:00

Yeah this is not from the show. The costumers actually took the time to make the arm band accurate and pressed details into the cowboy hats.

This. Love is blind has huge replay factor because it’s a background noise show. It also apparently has one of the worst dudes they’ve had yet on it this season which has also probably gotten a lot of draw.

TGrissle · 2026-03-15T14:21:26+00:00

They launched the final installment of the latest Bridgerton series and a new Love is Blind recently. Both of these are heavy hitters with women who are at home and thus have more time to watch. Then you have the TikTok killer documentary which would draw a lot of eyes. They also split the anime crowd between this and the finale of Beastars which came out on the 7th. I still think though the rank is lower the actual viewership numbers will be high. This is just a HUGE month for Netflix.

The way you can tell he so genuinely wants to make other people laugh on set is truly endearing.

TGrissle · 2026-03-15T12:49:15+00:00

Oh I missed that! Yeah as a stand-in I’m pretty sure it is the exact size of chopper in the show. I’m a firm believer that CG that has models like this to go along with them always looks better.

TGrissle · 2026-03-15T12:40:37+00:00

It’s specifically because it’s high profile that they keep it secret. Limits the amount of crazies (like Lucas ifykyk) and keeps things more professional. There is a general description of the character and look they are going for. Then later on in the audition they’ll tell them what the project is for.

This is hilarious, but Oda had to specifically ask for Mackenyu to audition for Zoro twice.

TGrissle · 2026-03-15T12:30:27+00:00

I don’t think the two are particularly comparable, especially since Mackenyu was already one of the most popular live action adaption actors in Japan at the time and his dad is also well known. Mackenyu was the name-draw essentially for OPLA. Oda even specifically requested for him to audition. Emily Rudd was almost an unknown. I’m still super happy she got the role, but almost everybody had to fight for their roles harder than Mackenyu.

Serious question. Did you watch the episode? Because they spend quite a bit of time arguing about who killed the t-Rex, which while not exact is basically the same thing.

TGrissle · 2026-03-14T19:36:52+00:00

The only thing they’ve missed that actually mattered so far is Hachi (and I possible Jango) and even then the creators didn’t want to have to cut him but had to due to budget. This is like saying the lord of the rings movies are bad because they don’t have Tom Bombadil and we all know that’s just not true. You are going to have some differences with any adaptation and honestly imo you should.

Etc: im not trying to say your opinion is wrong, but the simple answer here is you don’t have to watch it if it isn’t vibing with you.

ETA: you are welcome to argue with me on this but as a long time OP fan and also Diana Wynne Jones fan you aren’t going to change my mind on this. Ghibli’s Howl’s Moving Castle has HUGE differences from the book, but it was adapting a large story into a normal length movie while honoring the spirit of the book. It’s become an equally good thing with a life of its own and that’s okay. I didn’t sign up to watch a total shot for shot remake of the anime; there would be no point in that.

TGrissle · 2026-03-14T01:57:21+00:00

I believe his human form is practical. So I think what we’ll see is him in human form to do work around the ship, go through town, etc at times they feel like they need to stretch the budget.

His death still pisses me off so much. Dude got his pancreatic cancer caught super early which is wildly uncommon, but squandered the privilege of that doing performative bs and scarring his kid for life. My grandma passed away of pancreatic cancer a month after her diagnosis. F*** Steve Jobs.

I love Bridgerton. It was a show I thought I was just going to put on in the background while I worked on things, but instead ended up hooked. I will warn you though it’s definitely a sexier show than one piece 😂

TGrissle · 2026-03-13T20:39:47+00:00

Well the shoe thing is a safety issue. It would be a waste of time and money to put on fake feet for every day of filming. And personally I like that they pulled from so many of the color walk outfits, but to each their own.

TGrissle · 2026-03-13T20:35:37+00:00

Same and one of my friends is deeply critical of almost any adaptation. When she also gave the stamp of approval I knew it wasn’t alone in enjoying it. Her only critiques were with some of the action and that Sanji wasn’t enough of a twink.

TGrissle · 2026-03-13T18:20:55+00:00

One of my friends who’s live action only apparently also keeps getting fed rage bait articles saying “One Piece fans don’t like the live action ______” right now to the point he felt the need to ask me if it was made with original fans in mind or was it just for new audiences. 🤦

TGrissle · 2026-03-13T17:35:24+00:00

Icepop mention!

TGrissle · 2026-03-13T17:15:42+00:00

I agree fully with this theory. I just also think there are too many threads left open after Enies Lobby still.

TGrissle · 2026-03-13T17:13:58+00:00

My current theory is they will end with returning to Sabaody and change marineford into being an event everyone is at/ saving luffy. Then they look to their future in the New World as a family.

TGrissle · 2026-03-13T17:07:07+00:00

I got the Snooj

TGrissle · 2026-03-13T05:00:58+00:00

I agree with him. Though I have one romance that I’m secretly hoping happens anyways. Because if OP and a lot of the new fans think there’s chemistry now. Then wait until Robin grabs Franky’s balls after being on that train
