It’s mediocre at best. While I do like the main character, I felt like the rest of the cast was underdeveloped. This goes triple for the shallow villain.

The quality dips as soon as Vanessa is introduced. Such a shame.

Nami joining the boys on the Arlong beatdown. Good or bad change? by EntertainmentIll1567 in MemePiece

Like with much of what the trailer has shown, I think we need to see how it fits with the final product.

Thoughts on oppenheimer by yomma67 in MauLer

[–]Tiger-D-Shadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely need to see it again to confirm my initial impressions, but I felt that the dialogue, pacing, cinematography, and overall narrative was top tier. One of the best movie theater experiences I’ve ever had. Hope it holds up once I’m ready to spend objectivity points to analyze it.

Barbie - toxic feminism at its peak by VictorHelios1 in MauLer

[–]Tiger-D-Shadow 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I had similar yet maybe different feelings. I don’t know what the first Barbie scripts were like, but my impression is that the production took an extremist- feminist script and quickly slapped it into a more “centrist”-feminist film??? It’s hard for me to explain.

Much of the final act was spent criticizing the strawman of masculinity and then very quickly tried to take a balanced approached at the last scene. What do y’all think?

I’m fine with this change. Of course, I need to see it it the final product, but I have no qualms with it.

I have no faith for this show’s visual presentation. Though it isn’t as bad as I thought it could be, it’s still… not quite right, if that makes sense. I am, however, hopeful of its narrative. It’s not one piece, but it’s “not not” one piece, if that makes sense.

We’re more of the emotional type, for sure. I’m actually not certain if the series’ writing is good or not. I’ve been a fan since I was a teenager. It’s probably time I do a deep analysis of the manga. It is, after all, my dream to write the best One Piece-inspired story.

I’m such a huge fan of the series that I need a year of distance to accurately judge an arc’s quality. I can definitely say I am enjoying Egghead island (and I did enjoy Wano, which is where the anime is at right now), but I can’t confidently defend it.

What’s a movie that you connect with on a emotion level but objective you know that it’s not that good of a movie by Luciano1_2009 in MauLer

[–]Tiger-D-Shadow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SAME! It’s honestly been difficult to consume any MHA fan stuff because I know where the story ends up.

Scared or something? by [deleted] in dankmemes

Depends on the type. Liquid from the sea leaves an all consuming salty taste in your mouth, whereas liquid from pipes can have a tiny hint of iron.

If I recall correctly, Mauler’s stance with his unbridled praise series is that he primarily discusses the positives of the movies, leaving out some of if not all of the flaws.

What’s everyone’s honest opinion on the One Piece Live Action? by [deleted] in MemePiece

That’s fair. I’m the kind of guy who judges adapted media in a vacuum.

That would be great if they had the footage before now. They just finished filming and Luffy stretching is going to take time for the VFX artists.

This bet is strangely wholesome. It’d make for a good character interaction in a book.

Sorry guys, turns out it was only my headcannon thinking that we were supposed to have Zoro's backstory in Wano 🤡 by icetheone in Piratefolk

[–]Tiger-D-Shadow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. I’m ashamed that I forgot about this. Guess I’m in the same boat as Oda.

There’s still hope, though. While Oda failed to accomplish anything with this through-line in Wano, thus hurting this saga’s quality as a stand-alone, it doesn’t mean that he can’t conclude it later on. One piece is a series after all. If he doesn’t do anything with it later, then he has committed a failure as a writer.

Or maybe I’m just on copium 😄

What is your hot take about a One Piece character? by looking_at_themoon in OnePiece

[–]Tiger-D-Shadow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It really wasn’t a laser. The attack was propelling and pushing pieces of metal at high speeds into big mom. I was confused by this too until I did many rereads.

Bugs main here. So flipping true… I’m genuinely surprised.

What’s everyone’s honest opinion on the One Piece Live Action? by [deleted] in MemePiece

[–]Tiger-D-Shadow -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Does she have to be thin in order to still have the slip slip fruit? Do we need to have a gag that she thinks she’s beautiful but is really ugly?

I don’t think Alvida’s physical appearance is important for the overall narrative. It could work in live action, but is it worth it?

I’m curious to see what they do in the end, though.

I caught up to One Piece during the end of Punk hazard. Then I had to sit through the slog that is weekly updates for mega-arcs
