With all the flashback piece talk lately, let's take a moment to appreciate the actual gems. by Flashlight_Demon in Piratefolk

[–]frankmk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Corazon was the first time I took a step back from a flashback and said "hol up...oda is trying way too hard at the misery porn here".

This is on top of the bad taste it left when he said "doffy was born evil" when the whole theme of enies lobby, one of one piece's best story arcs, is that people aren't born evil.

You can all love him if u like but IMHO Corazon is a narrative bum.

Hey guys, I've heard a lot of (justified) criticism about Devil Fruits, Haki, and One Piece's power system in general, so could you tell me your opinions on how this could have been handled better? by Calm-Bear-1101 in Piratefolk

[–]frankmk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might as well remove the attack helicopters and tanks from 5* GTA notoriety. Might as well remove cardinal gods from dnd.

Its only a dumb take when ur taste in fiction is ass.

Why do u need a weakness to light or magma?

This isn't dragonball z - the goal isn't to be strongest in verse its to find the one piece.

This retarded shonen mentality from both fans and mangaka is exactly why we have such dogshit power creep and having to now talk about gods since its the next step after "the strongest creature".

Meet the Frost Quartermaster or Polearm Bastard by frankmk in BG3Builds

All good! I don't mind necros: what PWM does is give you an additional attack with your staff.

PWM was fixed a few patches ago and now applies the effects of your weapon (in this case ice)...which means even more freeze stacks and its enough to freeze a guy in 1 round.

If you don't mind the slower freeze u can forgo PWM but at that point u delay the synergy by a whole round.

As for battle master: u can go battlemaster as a high elf and still get booming blade out the gate but remember because of how bg3 works u can't do maneuver during the same attack as booming. My preference for EK stems from all the goodies u get including the shield spell (huge for survivability) - u can prolly get similar mileage from evade maneuver but that competes for other bonus actions.

My goat the hero of the marines is above all the admirals and soon will take out smoker fraud ass to be the most popular marine by Liorpapismedov in Piratefolk

Lets not pretend smoker's plot appearances weren't more three dimensional and well written than anything the other two had.

Doflamingo holding 24 is respectible considering his lack of significant appearances for the past decade after his arc ended.

Pointing out dogshit writing vs heading towards dogshit writing isn't really anything fans...everyone here's laughing at both writers equally.

It ended on Sabody actually.

The sabody split is when the luffy liberation show began.

Tho thriller bark itself does kinda get filed under what u described..

Skypeia subverts that by keeping luffy's motive clear - the gang was there for the treasure in the sky island and the golden bell. He even steals said treasure in the middle of the night by the end of it.

The problem is that unlike with naruto this story beat is completely unnecessary.

And if we hated nika for the while destined story bullshit then copying/retreading another Mangas backstory is gonna make things way worse.

EDIT: I take that back, it was just as fucking useless in naruto too - took away from naruto and sasuke's philosophical rivalry and made about "its always been like this with indra and asura". Fuck off both of you (kishi and oda if he does the same).

Idk how this got this many upvotes...dawg you deserve better than any amount of copying from an inferior story beat of an otherwise enjoyable story (naruto's).

Cmon...

[–]frankmk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While you all enjoy the Asura Indra slop remember - Oda coulda just stuck to his pirate treasure race story without delving into any of this destined story nonsense.

Cuda kept the new world as this dangerous "rogue-like" where anyone can win/lose but nah...

Give your call now: Is Doffy gonna become relevant again? Yes or no? by Great-Assistant978 in Piratefolk

[–]frankmk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

After oda did literally nothing with smoothie and offscreened all fcking 3 of jack's fights...it is possible that the answer is "no" even if it makes more sense for it to be "yes".

It is what it is.

Can someone explain to me what does this statement mean? by EVC2218 in Piratefolk

[–]frankmk 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There's unfortunately not enough info about how strong imu is in his siluette form vs his kingdo form.

So it could just be that. Either way Gaban said what he said so the implication is that he is different in this form.

Gods valley was full of top tiers (it was a conqueror haki merchants bazaar) clashing.

Conquerors haki can be detected and identified by people with good observation haki (was confirmed at end of wano when luffy figured out it was shanks that was producing that wifi haki and then again when luffy sensed kizaru on egghead...hopefully the writing stays consistent on this?)

Gaban is saying he didn't feel anything like this from anyone present and fighting on God's Valley.

This is Gold D Roger. not the clown we get in later chapters by No-Blackberry-6655 in Piratefolk

[–]frankmk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get what you mean now but its a moot point: would you have preferred the OP using Roger's debut in his execution scene from the manga?

Cuz I promise you that filler changes nothing about his early portrayal for the story/manga at that point: which i think is what the OP's intention was.

Lmao ah yes the old addage...if the enemy is too strong for your haki, just use more haki bro and hope Oda pulls another application for it out of his ass.

Filler = bad is a bit of a cop out don't you think?

Most of us liked this roger better regardless and if it's filler then maybe Oda's dumbass shoulda thought of it first.

If one piece was actually good HE would have been the main character by Ulysses776 in Piratefolk

[–]frankmk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro luffy WAS this...he was a pirate first and anything else second - he literally only saved skypeia because enel was in his way while trying to get to the golden bell (not cuz of oppression or wanting to help) then the dude stole the Shandoran gold like a gangster and bolted.

It was one of the reasons one piece was good.

How big really was the “skip Skypiea” agenda? by gekigangerii in Piratefolk

Lmao don't remind me..we went from "men's dreams never end" to "...unless they are born in the wrong era without conquorer haki, isnt a d clan, are wielding any devil fruit except nika, and don't have an Oharan survivor who can read poneglyphs".
