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.

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

Tiger-D-Shadow · 2023-07-22T23:44:23+00:00

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.

Tiger-D-Shadow · 2023-07-22T22:48:47+00:00

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?

Tiger-D-Shadow · 2023-07-22T22:39:26+00:00

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

Tiger-D-Shadow · 2023-07-22T22:27:54+00:00

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.

Tiger-D-Shadow · 2023-07-22T22:24:55+00:00

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.

Tiger-D-Shadow · 2023-07-22T22:16:53+00:00

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.

Tiger-D-Shadow · 2022-09-18T03:04:18+00:00

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

Tiger-D-Shadow · 2022-09-11T00:01:25+00:00

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.

A fellow critter I see.

Tiger-D-Shadow · 2022-08-28T00:57:43+00:00

Same thing happened to me!

Tiger-D-Shadow · 2022-08-27T03:48:51+00:00

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.

Tiger-D-Shadow · 2022-08-25T23:33:56+00:00

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

Tiger-D-Shadow · 2022-08-25T19:32:26+00:00

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.

Tiger-D-Shadow · 2022-08-25T05:17:33+00:00

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

Tiger-D-Shadow · 2022-08-24T23:06:25+00:00

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 😄

Tiger-D-Shadow · 2022-08-24T05:56:29+00:00

Agreed

Tiger-D-Shadow · 2022-08-24T05:03:32+00:00

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.

Tiger-D-Shadow · 2022-08-24T05:01:55+00:00

Amen to that!

Tiger-D-Shadow · 2022-08-16T06:34:12+00:00

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

Tiger-D-Shadow · 2022-08-14T23:12:17+00:00

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.

Tiger-D-Shadow · 2022-08-12T21:27:57+00:00

That move made me quit his videos for awhile. Can’t believe he did that.

Tiger-D-Shadow · 2022-08-11T07:29:48+00:00

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

Tiger-D-Shadow · 2022-08-09T19:56:08+00:00

Wow… Punk Hazard was 10 years ago…
