My parents asked me what One Piece is like since they saw promotion for the live action, I said “Imagine some sprawling epic fantasy series with a ton of lore and a massive world, like Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones, but the entire world operates on Looney Tunes logic.”
That's extremely accurate.
Yeah, that is probably the most APT description of One Piece, yeah.
Looney Tunes LOTR sounds like a lot of fun. Not a bad pitch.
“Lord of the Pirate Toons” has a really solid ring to it.
@@leithaziz2716 What if I told you it get extra looney and toony later on
The deafening silence that followed when Pat brought up Zoro the POC hunter was palpable and hilarious
Me- "Wait I'm pretty sure he fought a Giraffe man who was white."
Pat, waving hands - "YEAH BUT WHAT CONTINENT ARE GIRAFFES FROM?!"
@@PrincessMelonysCastleDoes Pica break the streak? And let's say we count Kaku, but do we count the people of Wano?
@@PrincessMelonysCastleAt least Sanji’s opponents are less problematic a wolf guy, a brontosaurus guy, transgender men- *oh shit*
@@li-limandragon9287 Oh God, trying to port over the okama to live action is gonna be *rough*.
@@Ronin11111111pica turned black for the last hit.
No yeah, Luffy is explicitly "i dont care about the specifics of the situation or your backstory. That being said, I get the idea that I should drop a building on that fish dude because he hurt you and you gave me food so i like you." And he has yet to be wrong in one of those judgment calls.
In Whole Cake Luffy doesn't understand the situation and just barges in and Sanji has to kick him in the face and act the evil part to make Luffy back off. He's stubborn and dumb to the point where he's a hazzard in delicate situations.
Nah Luffy is Emotinally intellegent rather than regular intellegent. Hence why he's the anchor haha for most of the crew. He's the reason the decided to follow there dreams otherwise they'd all still be in the situtations they were in initially.@@li-limandragon9287
@li-limandragon9287
Pr bad example
He (and the rest of the Straw Hats) didn't understand the situation, because Sanji left the crew without giving any real reason. He didn't just jump into the situation knowing what was going on with Sanji and his family.
Sanjis pretending to be evil act didn't even work on him, cause Luffy stayed on the island until Sanji came back to ask for help. He could tell Sanji was acting OOC
It's quite literally one of the bigger emotional beats of that arc.
@@DoctorHomicideOh I know he’s emotionally intelligent but strip away his plot armour and he’d just get his friends’ lives and their loved ones killed.
@@li-limandragon9287and yet, luffy won that entire situation in the end. so, i have a hard time saying he was wrong.
"What's your special interest, Luffy?"
*"PIRATES!"* 😃
I mean, that's pretty much the show right there. You got it in one, Pat!
And Luffy doesn't even know what a pirate actually is or what they do, which is one of the more odd things about the series as a whole.
"Why are you threatening and robbing these people!?!"
"Uh... I'm a pirate? What else would I be doing kid?"
"*GASP* A pirate would NEVER do something so mean!"
@@MattManDX1which is weird since in Skypeia he was all in for robbing the sky people for fun
@@jeangreffsbpI mean he gets Pirates want treasure he just doesn’t understand the negative connotations.
Both the animated and the live action one… anime Luffy might eventually figure it out though
this never happens and he and his crew threaten and rob people all the time. they're just robbing and threatening bad guys, mostly. he gets mad about the "taking freedom away from people" part, not the crimes themselves @@MattManDX1
I also feel like a big part of why One Piece succeeds where other adaptations failed is that it embraces Anime Bullshit wholeheartedly and with zero shame. Not only does Luffy shout out the names of his attacks, he does so with his WHOLE CHEST and the show is like "YEAH, LUFFY, YOU GET HIM WITH THAT GUM GUM PISTOL, YOU'RE THE BEST!" The framing and sound design and score and everything are all designed to highlight and CELEBRATE the goofiness of this world, and that energy is contagious. Netflix Bebop demonstrates that by fearing cringe, and trying to avoid it, you only invoke and invite it. Only by ignoring cringe entirely can you hope to overcome it and find the joy that is hiding behind it. And that is One Piece.
They could have easily had the moment where Zoro scoffs at calling out your attack names be the intended audience insert, but no, they double down on it with Sanji so you know it isn't just a Luffy and Buggy thing. I'm just waiting for the moment in Season 2 when (hopefully) Zoro goes, "Fuck it, ONIGIRI!"
It is increadible what a diffrence that makes. The whole of making things more "American" almost always Backfires, the Netflix Deathnote show is also a good example. "Oh, let's change Light from a attractive and charismatic Sociopath to loser nerd, because the smart kid in Highschool is always a loser Nerd!"
Casully removing one big part what made Deathnote stand out.
There's a thin line between cheese and cringe, sometimes they're the same thing, but it's about how you sell it.
@@plinfan6541 is there a reason you spelled it that way?
@@Kreacher3Zoro will definitely say Shi Shi Son Son in his fight with Mr One.
They actually change their wardrobe up a lot in the manga - I'm pretty sure a lot of the costuming in the live show were direct translations of some of their canon alt outfits.
And non canon outfits as well from color spreads manga covers etc
Can confirm, the director has even stated they did that intentionally
Nami's outfit when she tricks the Buggy pirates+steals their ship and starts studying her map is an early concept design for instance, from the time she was meant to wield a massive battle axe
@@Blagno4 Oh shit that's the coolest
ALL the costuming in the live action was based on actual stuff they wore in cover spreads and chapters.
Woolie discovering “Minority Fader” Roronoa Zoro was hilarious.
When the showrunner pitched this to oda he ask him what is one piece about he gave such a perfect answer that oda said he had absolute faith he'll do it right. Also the actor that plays luffy recieved a straw hat from both Oda and luffy's anime voice actor. So much love went into this it's insane.
Pat: "Zoro doesn't like black people"
Woolie: Pikachu face

Hardest I've laughed in a while
[We’ll be right back]
Luffy is pretty much what Mugiwara no Goofy put it: A magical wandering fighting crackhead who will dismantle the opressive government of an area because he chilled in the place for 5 seconds before someone showed up, gave him a cheeseburger and told him about said opressive government/person
That sounds like your average D&D adventurer to me!
I see you are a man of culture as well
This pretty much sounds like Doctor Who sans the food lol
I would describe Luffy as a person, who knows just enough about what's going on around him, and only cares about the big picture that is "DREAMS". He 100% is on the spectrum.
He also has this fascinating little quirk in the manga, where we never actually know what Luffy is thinking. Like, other characters we hear their thought process, and how they break things down. We don't get that from Luffy. Unless he says it out loud, Luffy is pretty much cut off from the world and us, the readers.
Oh really!? That's fascinating, I never read the manga, but noticed that in the show and assumed it was just a limitation of the series, I guess this was a much better adaptation that I even realized.
Wow I never noticed that
@@Kango234it's a little funny whenever Luffy gets separated from the crew or is exploring on his own, because he suddenly starts thinking out loud/talking to himself and absolute shitton
Actually Oda has come out and stated that Luffy thinks aloud he doesn’t need inner monologues to understand his character. Hence why he’ll just say what he’s thinking or you can see it on his face what he’s feeling
Still applies pretty much, Luffy does state what he desires from becoming the Pirate King at the end of the Dressrosa arc, but it’s nebulous and up to other character’s and the reader’s interpretation
Luffy is a fairly blank slate to enable vicarious power fantasy and is surrounded by so many colorful characters, One Piece is fantastic (with particular fan edits as Dressrosa onward is a slow with one chapter or less an episode)
4:44 the alternative costumes the actors wear are based on the clothes the crew wear on some cover arts.
4:00 All the different outfits they wear in the show are based on things they wear in the Chapter Covers and from the One Piece Color Walk artbook. Every single outfit is canon, this show's dedication is insanely beautiful.
Oda with a gun to Netflix executive man’s head is the only way this could’ve turned out so good, like it’s genuinely a really good show and I don’t understand how they did it
Luffy knows what the hell is happening around him, but he is optimistic to a fault, and that's it. he just thinks he will be able to fix the problem at some point, and when he can't, that's why he has his crew, even Luffy points out that at a certain point
Honestly I'm not even sure optimistic is quite the right word for Luffy's way of thinking but I can't think of a better one at the same time lol
Its feels like some kind of beyond super optimism
@@PragabondHe is just absolutely certain that no matter what he will win, nothing can stop him and there isn’t a bone in his body that says otherwise. That’s why the few times he gets serious are so scary, it’s not because he’s afraid he’ll lose, it’s because he’s fucking livid at something someone has done to his friends and he’s going to fucking murder them for it
@@PragabondLike autism?
@@Pragabond Luffy's like someone who's optimistic not because of conscious choice, but because he literally looks at the concept of despair like someone with ADHD looks at their math homework. It's positive, unintentional nihilism.
He knows that the problem will be solved if he just punches the bad guy in the face, you don't need to overthink it.
Woolie needed one more episode so he could talk about Hunk-Eye Mihawt
Yeah, Luffy's perception of the danger that another character might be in really teeters between "I didn't listen to a single world you said" and "I don't care about a single world you said" and they both end up at "I'm going to help you out anyways, yeah!!!".
It really depends on how seriously he takes the situation and how cocked he already is into helping the person. Some of the most iconic scenes of people crying for his help fall into either spectrum (ex: "Yes, you're right, I don't know anything about your village's horrible situation" and "I know very well who X's enemies are"), but they still make sense for who he is.
I was shocked at how 100% perfect Helmeppo of all characters was done.
The actor is spot on, and the stupid haircut is because zoro cuts it as an insult, neat
That's the normal Luffy behavior in the anime too. I'm sure the intent is supposed to lean towards a one track mind, but often it really does seem more like a hyper-fixation. Like anytime they need to get supplies he's mostly neutral to the idea, but then he finds out they're going to a pirate hotspot and he's absolutely stoked.
You probably didn't read this if you were thinking about pirates right now.
You can always tell when pat is overselling his dislike for something because his eyes immediately start checking for reactions in the live chat.
This is why I've just straight stopped listening to Pat talking during the podcast and just fast forward to what Woolie is saying, Pat being the eternal contrarian makes him unlistenable.
Audience capture is a bitch.
@@Darmanimonyou know, you don't *have* to listen to the podcast. because that just sounds like absolute hell, and also like you're lying. there's no way you pull up whatever device you're using every time Pat talks and find the perfect amount of time to skip, and then have *any* context to what Woolie might be reacting to. at that point just, i dunno, *not* do that? do literally anything else.
no lie I just skip forward 10 seconds with a button until he's done talking. However I do tend to just watch the pre and post stream chats Woolie has with Reggie on his streams and those are a pretty good replacement for the podcast for me now, those conversations on pretty much the same topics are way more reasonable @@miguelnewmexico8641
As an One Piece fan of 10+ years, t's honestly baffling to listen to Woolie reacting to the fundamentals of One Piece for the first time ever. It's seriously right up his alley, if he gets over the art-style (I don't think it should be a problem.)
The art style complaints are such hyperbole BS. Pat adores JoJo and all its freaks but gives One Piece a hard time because the characters are goofy? Come off it.
@@li-limandragon9287No, art style matters. I personally don't watch One Piece because of it. I'll watch Naruto, FMA:B, Bleach, AoT, DBZ, etc. before it because of the ugly cartoon style. I personally dislike WoW and play FFXIV because I detest the wow art style. It makes a huge difference.
@@MiniatureMorpheus That’s ridiculously picky I mean AoT’s manga has an art style that heaps of people find weird and ugly and DBZ, Bleach and Naruto have numerous cartoonish characters.
It’s also a problem of basing your opinion purely on the anime where is inconsistent and full of quality drops whereas the manga just gets better and better.
attack on titan is one of the ugliest things ive ever seen so i get it @@MiniatureMorpheus
@@mattb6616 It's not my favorite tbh, I go more towards FMA, Samurai Champloo and Afro Samurai.
Based on what you've seen in the live action so far..What happens with Buggy 20 years later would completely blow you away.
Woolie and Pat but especially Woolie need to read the damn thing.
I stood up and clapped when Buggy awakened his Devil Fruit and learned to split the atom!
I unironically really want to see Jeff Ward give Buggy's speech from Chapter 1082. That's straight up one of the most hype moments in the entire series so far and I think he'd fucking kill it adapting that scene.
what is shown in the la of buggy doesn't really gel with what we will discover way later, they will need to change it...but who am i kidding, the series will never get this far
Pat bringing up Minority Hunter Zoro with next to zero prompting activated my Fight or Flight response. That said, it does almost feel like the production staff were aware of the meme when they cast Mr 7, since that napkin scribble Oda did specifies next to nothing about the design other than "Sword" and "Face Tattoo"
Also having the Fishmen black coded and have Zoro cut them down without second thought is another case.
Why do i get a feeling it was probably matt owens doing.
Just to point out the love and attention to detail went into this, the different outfits they wore are from different cover arts Oda has drawn.
The funny part is that nobody on the crew knows each others full story just like hints and note really that's why its good to me
5:33 I'm a little bit troubled by much of the depictions of autism in media. I'm autistic and I can understand why a lot of people's general view of autism is a bit off. It isn't exactly easy to understand.
I can only speak for myself and I need to make that clear to avoid making it seem like I'm trying to paint everyone with the same brush but because of my difficulty expressing emotions and explaining the reasons behind my actions it often leads people to the viewpoint that I am oblivious and disinterested because of my autism. This couldn't be further from the truth.
With the example of willingly going into a perilous situation I think it's a little bit disheartening that when it's a neurotypical person it's viewed as cavalier heroism but when it's an autistic person it's childlike obliviousness. And that's really the core of my problem with autism in media. Genuine traits have been filtered down into depictions that are essentially child minded adults.
There's usually a method to the madness. Many people with autism might not seem like they fully grasp any given situation, but that's usually because we process emotions and information differently, and it can sometimes be difficult to express that. It can certainly be difficult to understand it.
Yeah, I understand that frustration. A lot of people with Autism are usually very open-minded, it's just the social aspect and communicating improperly due to shy-ness that paints the wrong picture. I've lived that part.
@leithaziz2716 I'm glad to hear it. I don't think it's necessarily difficult for people to understand, but they're certainly an issue of communication. As well as misinformation.
Yeah I'm shocked how shamelessly Woolie just threw that out there.
sounds like i've got it a scoche better than you guys, and while i too initially recoiled at it, when he explained himself it made plenty of sense to me. let's not bust his chops too hard, eh?
@@Kango234honestly after him implying Goetz in ffxvi was mentally handicapped because he had a moment of joy that his mother like figure was going to let him go get tools for his new thing of blacksmithing, I’m not that surprised
The amount of costume changes in one piece is one of my fav lil details that Oda does each new arc or island. Its great!
From what i've seen, One Piece is like Skyrim: The main questline exists, but the show is still doing the Thieves Guild while the dragons are just flying around in the background....
Zoro has a kill count similar to Akuma....as in virtually 0 despite being super lethal
Nami is the only crewmate on a onscreen kill in the anime.
@@li-limandragon9287
When she drowned Filler Man and everyone cheered?
@@li-limandragon9287don’t forget Robin casually breaking fodders necks
Yeah oda says he doesn't like killing characters....uhhhhh
@@patrickzantomaster they had rubber bones don't worry
I saw someone sum up Live-Action Luffy best: He's a happy-go-lucky, cheerful kid, then you look into his eyes and realize 'Oh, there is something *deeply* wrong with this kid.' Luffy picks up on others not being into his shtick or putting him down, but he's so aggressively optimistic and headstrong, he outright refuses to listen to them and does everything he can to reach his goals.
Wrong feels a bit too harsh. Abnormal feels more apropo.
He's a shonen protagonist.
hes absolutely balls to the wall insane
In the words of mugiwara no goofy, "Luffy is a magical fighting crackhead who will beat up whoever you need for half a grilled cheese sandwich."
Always like hearing them talk about One Piece.
It's crazy that the hardest to adapt series was also best adapted, incredibly well done adaptation. I always hoped they would go for the same vibe as Kung Pow/ Asterix and Obelix movies and they did exactly that and it went great.
Hope Woolie finishes it and has another segment next episode.
I wish Woolie would at least read the manga up to where the show ends.
I hope Woolie starts to read One Piece after this. It’s a commitment, sure, but you soon shift from “there’s even more chapters?” to “there’s even more chapters!” to “I wish there were more chapters.”
Woolie next week: “It’s cool that Luffy is fighting Kizaru”
I want the bi-weekly state of Woolie saying "well Oda is on break AGAIN so I have nothing cool to talk about"
Nah, he should watch slam dunk
Oh God is Supereyepatchwolf gonna show up and force Woolie to read more chapters. Cause I'd be all for that.
@@rain_magearchives4089 I remember how Eyepatchwolf said people should watch movie 6 first I live OP and Eyepatchwolf but *you do not watch movie 6 first*
....wow, that went from normal anime conversation to "I don't know what I'm talking about" real fast.
Zoro in the anime and manga actually jokes around a lot and teases people. Like in Syrup Village, he told some kids that him, Luffy, and Nami ate Usopp, just to mess with them.
After Mihawk though he pretty much loses his sense of humour completely. It’s why I prefer the goofier characters to him tbh.
@@li-limandragon9287 Nah Zoro was always pretty serious. Most of his commedy came from him being an exaggerated straight man, incredibly stupid or from his fights with sanji. And nothing from that changed
Just a few chapters ago Zoro goes "my bad everyone if I connected the dots sooner I would've realized that this guys are strong with their flames lit like the last strong guy I fought of the same race. There wasn't much to clue me in with this, they just share the white hair, brown skin black wings and the flames on their backs"
@@nahuel3433 But as other people are saying he was willing to make actual jokes and laugh in early in East Blue. Not just be comically serious or comically dumb.
@@li-limandragon9287 Not many jokes no. At most he teases but that's more an extension of his "cruelty" since he does it with the exact same smile he puts on when he fights.
And he still laughs post timeskip, the biggest I remember is him cracking the fuck up at Pica's voice.
@@nahuel3433That’s why I find him boring compared to Sanji and Luffy. Even Guts is more humorous than Zoro.
7:00 Pat is so right about that discription but the Goku thing I never thought of.
Like he literally has some level of brain damage that makes him understanding what he has done difficult to comprehend.
Hell we can even go to Naruto, who has trauma from being isolated and abandoned by society to the point where when made his first friend, Sasuke, losing his friend is literally the greatesr form of suffering.
Now I want to go through more characters to see what else they have about them
The problem with the brain damage argument is Vegeta doesn't have brain damage and he's no different. It's just the saiyans by the nature of their blood crave battle to the level of self-sabotage.
@@SeruraRenge11 Eh I argue Vegeta is fully aware of his actions, he just doesnt care cause he is a sadistic fuck. Plus yeah the way he was raised as well gave him a superiority complex so that just adds on to it
@@SeruraRenge11 With Vegeta, his problem is that he likes to show-off and gloat when he *thinks* he's got the upper hand, but he rarely backs it up and it gets blown up in his face. Letting Cell power-up is probably the most infamous example. Tldr, trashtalking his enemies only to get a reality check is basically a character trait of his.
@@leithaziz2716 Yeah but at the same time, Vegeta is like the only character in DB besides Piccolo that has an actual arc which makes him one of the few genuinely interesting ones.
@@SeruraRenge11 I didn't say he was bad. He's actually had solid growth all the way from the start of Z to even now. The only character who's been as consistent is Piccolo, he just usually didn't get the spotlight untill his movie. I want to say Gohan too, but I feel that after the Cell Saga and his big moment, he's been...aimless?
So Woolie has seen/played of all Naruto and only read the first chapter of One Piece yet watched half the Live Action series? *That's so Madden.*
He needs cleanse his soul from those Jutsu.
To be fair, Naruto has just 700 chapters of material. One Piece is at 1092 chapters *and counting*. Starting that series now is a commitment.
@@Ragnorok64 You can just do it in chunks both my brothers who refused to read it for years caught up in less than a month and Naruto's filler alone makes 1092 chapters look brisk.
Meanwhile I don't think he's read Bleach past the Soul Society arc
@@li-limandragon9287 I know it's possible to catch-up. I'm saying it's a commitment, one that not everyone can reasonably be expected to make. I also listed the chapters and not episodes because I'm specifically talking about the mangas, which are not afflicted by added filler episodes.
@@AngryHomunculushes not missing much, Bleach peaked at the Rukia Rescue Arc

@@li-limandragon9287 i hate to admit it, but you actually made a funny. keep that up instead of all the other stuff.
Not only does the nose connect to him being a liar his name "Usopp" contains the word "uso" which means "lie"
little late and this might be a stretch but Usopp sounds like Aesop. Like the dude who wrote the boy who cried wolf
so it’s like a triple entendres
I sometimes forget Pat is just as insane as Woolie. Calling One Piece a “horrible ugly look” unironically is insane.
8:17 Pat drops a bomb on Woolie
luffy s dressrossa look is one of my favs, the sunflower black h. jacket looked so good
I DESPERATELY want you to to take the Pill on One Piece and start reading it. Pat especially needs a series where the main cast is just as short compared to the absurdly taller people they come up against
Wish we could’ve heard Woolie talk about this more instead of Pat telling everyone how much he doesnt like things for like 3 hours.
I’d love to hear Woolie talk more about One Piece. All he needs to do is pick up the manga and start reading.
He tortured himself for decades with Naruto but won’t even try something almost everyone collectively says is good?
@li-limandragon9287 yeah idk man he refused HxH for so long, too. That's just... Woolie.
@@li-limandragon9287 Sometimes, it's just the commitment that's the hardest part. I also wanna get into One Piece, but it's looong. Which makes it feel very daunting.
@@leithaziz2716reading the manga goes by quicker than you'd think. It's the anime that REALLY eats up your time, but there are fan edits to help with that.
@@leithaziz2716I just took it by arcs when I was catching up. I would take breaks in between them.
Only two issues I have, and they’re small. 1. Garp is too serious. Way too serious. 2. Zoro, also a little toooo serious and stoic. Zoro certainly is that, but he’s also a kid. He’s one who laughs too. One of my favorite two moments for him is literally him laughing at Luffy’s boat, and him laughing at Luffy’s honesty about knocking out the mayor to an angry mob.
Zoro to me gave me serious Vergil/Kenshin weeb vibes and I like that, his try hardiness makes him flawed. What I don't like about manga Zoro as well as Law (and why I prefer characters like Sanji or Luffy over them) is because they are just cool and stoic and rarely have goofy situations happen to him making them far more boring imo, Zoro just stops being cheeful after Mihawk. LA Nami though while I liked her was a little too serious and eye rolling.
It should never be forgotten that Zoro is the type of person who can get lost in a straight hallway.
Yeah. Garp is waaaaaay too serious for me. They started easing up on it by like episode 6, but he's still takes things far more seriously than ever. I understand the rationale as the story portrays it, but his "Grouchy Garp" persona isn't my favorite. Zoro is also a tiny bit too serious for me. My brother described his personality as post-timeskip Zoro, and it kinda fits. I want more moments of goofiness from him like when he was trying to sit in the booth, but all his swords kept getting in the way. Breaking up his stoic demeaner by playing moments like that along side it is a great way to show more of who Zoro is.
@@li-limandragon9287 I don't mind sarcastic serious Nami, because I kinda don't want beating up the crew for comedy Nami. At least as of Episode 7, I can see how growing up the way she did would make her more cynical and snarky. I think Overall toning down the characters a bit saves the show. I remember watching the Portrayal of Ed in the Cowboy Bebop Live Action. They behaved exactly like the Anime, and it literally made me cringe. I was suddenly back in high school circa 2002 around the kind of people who say things like "Oh Rachel-chan! You look so kawaii desu today!" with the absolute sincerity of a nascent anime fan of that era. Real early teen at an anime convention energy.
@@Ayoken007 Problem with overserious Nami is that like with Zoro it isn't as fun. Like in the manga she comically manipulates Sanji and is obessed with money to point of getting dollar bill eyes. Not saying they repilcate that completely the hitting the crew stuff obviously doesn't work but some levity goes a long way.
Note: Buggy does not wear a clown nose, THAT is his nose!
so what Woolie doesn't realize is most if not all of the outfits Luffy wears in the live action are from "Cover Stories" which often show other characters in new outfits and that's where the overalls outfit for example came from it's actually a love note to the manga
They were smart about including clothing from random arcs/covers i really ended up wanting to buy some
Woolie finding out about Usopp's nose live 😭
Pat: "luffy plays like idealism made manifest"..... 🤭 Well then.. If you know, you know.
It's pretty clear in all versions that Luffy would just not be able to function without the other people on the crew. He would literally just starve in the middle of nowhere.
nah, he can find food. garp made sure of that.
he'd just then die from eating something poisonous.
"Luffy plays like idealism made manifest in a human being, like to every possible absurdity."
That's so much more true than you could know, Pat.
It's one of my favourite shows right now and I didn't read the manga or watch the anime. I think the secret to its success is that the show uses a lot of k-drama techniques. Situations are set up so that the audience understands them clearly and what the motivations of every character involved are. The actors take their roles very seriously. That is why when k-dramas involve zombies in the feudal era or infectious water that kills people, the shows are still very watchable because the story flows logically and the actors don't look like they want to be somewhere else. And it helps to have good FX and decent fight choreography, especially for actors who aren't very athletic.
“kind of autistic” as an autistic person, luffy is the most autistic manga protagonist ever and i fully mean that
Pat is like luffy except if his autsim translated into being so happy to hate something.
No, Pat is a neurotic smart-ass, big difference.
@@MiniatureMorpheus i dunno. that's pretty much how mine manifests. i do try to curb it though. it might just be a separate issue i suppose, correlation aint causation and such.
@@miguelnewmexico8641 I think Pat is more on the OCD side as opposed to Autistic imo. Pat knows what he does is objectively crazy but he also knows it works so why change it. Pat has refined his crazy to perfectly fit rpg grinding.
kinda felt uncomfortable by woolie just throwing the autism label so nonchalantly, followed by pat being like "haha goku brain damage" i dont know man, i feel like this comes from a lack of understanding of mental disabilities and so it naturally made me sorta grit my teeth with cringe, i can see where they're coming from and im sure its meant to be light hearted but eeeeeehhhhh feels really bad
The alternate outfits the characters wear in the show are based off of outfits they wore in the chapter page artwork Oda did in the manga so it's sorta canon-ish.
Oh yeah, in the manga Luffy actually wears that exact hawaiian shirt. Most (if not all) of the costumes for the main casts are straight up copies of actual manga outfits, tho many of them are from the big color spreads & covers. Oda loves putting his characters in fashionable outfits.
ok I’ve never watched/read One Piece but I’m autistic and I DEFINITELY think a number of popular shonen protagonists read as being on the spectrum. Am I projecting? Probably. Am I alone in this reading? Absolutely not.
(I don’t completely agree with Woolie’s interpretation of Luffy’s thought process, but I see where he’s coming from.)
As you guys mentioned, it's very nice to see this show embrace the wackiness. It reminds me a lot of 90s era Sentai-borrowing shows like old Power Rangers and Betelborgs, which was so popular it even inspired American-made attempts like Mystic Knights, where they still didn't care about goofy monsters and bad effects cause they knew it was popular.
I seem to recall the anime using that fish-eye look for the ad break animations a lot of the time. I wonder if that's the inspiration.
I was hoping Woolie would know that Zoro, the green man, does eventually get a purple sword, Enma, from Wano last arc. I thought he might like that because colours.
I think he should get into Sanji because Sanji wouldn’t try and kill him like Zoro would.
The villains and how they're portrayed was great also the music in the show was good
Season 2 needs to incorporate a Scary Movie sheriff’s hat bit where every time Usopp is in frame, his nose gets a little bit bigger until the season finale where he has a Doug Dimmadome’s hat situation going on where it’s constantly off screen
Some of the best casting choices in anime adaptation history. Watch it.
A friend of mine had an excellent observation: it's tokusatsu
To this day all I know about one piece is that my cousin insists “it has everything” but will not elaborate
They're not wrong!
He's right tho. It has everything! Racism, genocide, horrific science experiments, war crimes, classism, more genocides, wide-spread corruption in all levels of government and military, uncountable local despots ruling through tyranny, an allegory for the genocide of the native american people..... MORE WAR CRIMES. Also a shitzillion pirates plundering and pillaging all around the world, and this world is mostly ocean so.... I think you get the picture.
Your cousin is correct!
Now that that’s covered, elaborate please
@@UCannotDefeatMyShmeat I already did though. I neither lied or exagerated with that list of atrocities. On the more cheerful side of things, there are many super interesting islands with unique flora, fauna and culture, a cavalcade of incredibly goofy gags, legions of colorful or cool characters, super badass fights and even more tearjerker moments that will make you ugly cry by thinking about them and all encompassed in this incredibly grand journey and adventure.
It's really funny to see Pat and Woolie both think that Luffy's characterization in the show must be some fluke separate to the manga, because it goes against their expectations of what a shounen protagonist is like, but it's quite the opposite.
Luffy is arguably waaay more autistic in the manga, because that's his point! He's meant to disarm the status-quo of all the different melodramas that go on in all these different isolated island communities, and expose them to greater ways of thinking. His blind faith seems like stupidity, but it's an actual calculated confidence in practice.
And it's built into the premise itself too; Luffy being made of rubber is a play on the idea of Luffy being disarmingly capable. It's hard to take seriously, but in most situations it gives him an incredible advantage over his opponent.
Luffy isn't a dumb idiot for believing in himself, or his friends. It isn't blind faith either. He's actually extremely emotionally intelligent, and refuses to let petty stuff get in the way of what's important in any given situation.
I’ve been saying Luffy is in the spectrum for YEARS lol
"Luffy plays like Idealism made manifest in a human being."
I mean no spoilers but uh... I mean yeah.
Pat, Zeff is definitely NOT Sanji's dad. Sanji isn't going to talk about his dad for another several seasons.
Oh boy time for my monthly "yeah I watched a little of this anime show but it was live action, its alright" before dropping it forever
4:34 He does lol. Specifically during the Dressrosa arc.
Woolie, all those outfit changes the main cast goes through are either: canonically worn by characters at some point, taken straight from the manga cover art and the very first outfit Nami is seen wearing was based on an unused concept for Nami (where she had a mechanic arm and used a huge axe)
Watch one of those easter egg videos and you'll see the guys who made OPLA ain't fucking around...
Zoro being the POC Hunter while his boss is half Brazilian, Irish (Due to Garp) and Albino Black is hilarious in high sight. Also, Oda said if Zoro was in the real world he would be a cop...so yeah Oda was in on that joke
I would argue he came off as autistic even in the anime. I came to One Piece from being super into Naruto as a kid and Luffy is pretty much the same character as Naruto except missing a lot of the human elements. There's a lot of moments in the anime where Luffy is just silent and you can't tell if he's processing the situation or just literally can't understand whats going on
the manga makes it clear that luffy doesn't know what's happening about half the time with one specific choice.
luffy has no thought bubbles.
every other character has occasional internal monologues, but not luffy. luffy staring blankly means "head empty, no thoughts" because he's not actively doing something at the time.
@@Yal_Rathol
^ This
It's a deliberate choice to show he's a man of action and always going with his gut
Woolie's reaction to Usopp's anime nose was hilarious. I kind of want to see someone tell Woolie that Zoro's surname is a wacky metamorphosis from a french actual pirate name (François l'Olonnais) through a Japanese lens into English, also maybe about sanji's stupid anime eyebrows.
Honestly it feels intentional and heartfelt; any reasonably faithful live-action adaption of Luffy would come off as autistic to some degree (especially if you want to adapt the rest of the cast without them being edgelords) so I think they just rolled with it. There's just too many charming things about his performance for me to see him as some kind of weeaboo fedora guy when he talks; the sincerity, the energy, the accent, the accuracy, the writing, the delivery of the actual lines.
Its honestly a fantastic direction they went in with how they adapted Luffy
i cant BELIEVE its good.
I CANT
BELIEVE IT
HOW IS IT GOOD
I love to see two people who don't know that Luffy is just *like that* in every iteration of himself and going "Oh this is so weird when it's not in an anime context"
Motherfuckers this is known *in* anime context. Luffy is a silly fucker!
It’s why I’m baffled by people who complained about MCU MODOK and to lesser extent She-Hulk. They’ve always been clown shoes ridiculous.
With She-Hulk the problem was that the majority jokes weren’t that funny.
15:32 You know who else loves Go, Woolie?
Komugi and Meruem from Hunter X Hunter!
thats a slightly different fictional game
Booger-Chan and Cell Jr. have such a nice relationship
@@elmilkmann Agreed, it really is something special...
Until Booger-Chan turns green, yells "Humanity is eternal!!!!!" and DESTROYS Cell Jr. with her secret rock and earthquake powers.
Too bad Woolie will never get that far into the series though!
As someone who has been caught up to One Piece since 2009 I think now is the perfect time to get caught up to where the manga is at now. The final saga of the story is on its way right now. Also you don't feel like the character development of the main characters has stalled to much. One of my biggest gripes of the story is just how long the story takes.
Woolie: "Yeah, it's called HunterXHunter."
Gee, I wonder if that has anything to do with the fact that you watched it in the worst way possible...
I think Berserk will finish before HXH does.
The more Woolie refuses to watch HxH the more I want to see him forced to watch HxH out of pure spite
@@Rusty_Spyboy do I have the video series for you
Damn, when you say it like that, Luffy is truly our Autistic King. Like I can't believe how accurate that is.
But are you old enough to remember the 4kids dub of one piece as it aired on television?
Dreamin'!
I can never shit on the 4kids dub because it's what got me into the series as a kid in the first place. Watching that shit in elementary school was like magic. I fell in love with the series on TV and when they stopped dubbing it, that's what made me go find the anime and manga online (which is how I figured out how to Pirate Anime in general). I legit think the voices in the 4kids dub are better than the Funimation ones even if the script is bad and cheesy. Also shout out to Fighting Foodons and Shaman King, two other underrated 4kids dubs.
"He's got them lips tho..." said Woolie, whom also has them lips tho.
I think the fish eye lense is meant to imply somebody listening in
oh i absolutely think you could argue that luffy is autistic in the source material (and i will stand by that) but i agree with this sooo hard the live action creates a new depth to it
They change outfits all the time lol plus a lot of the outfits are from color spreads so a lot of love and attention to detail
I can't wait until Woolie meets Sanji and sees Zoro vs Mihawk
Maybe Woolie will fall for Sanji and become a less annoying and less problematic King of Lightning.
They actually doubled down pretty hard on Zoro being the cool badass. In early One Piece he's actually a pretty significant source of comic relief (though he's still the cool edgy sword guy).
Yeah but the live action Zoro also has a lot "try hardiness" like a weeb, the moment another badass joins the the crew like Sanji he gets all territorial and has Gimli-esque "That was my kill" moments in Arlong Park.
What is weird for me is that Cowboy Bebop should have been a pretty straightforward anime to adapt as it takes place in a relatively grounded sci-fi world. You could have remade most of it’s episodes 1-to-1, losing almost nothing in the transition to live action. But it was clearly written by people who hate Cowboy Bebop and thought they were fixing it by making Julia the villain amongst other fucking bizarre changes. One Piece was something I thought could never look good in live action. But it turns out the people behind the production actually like One Piece! I doubt we will get this lucky when The Last Airbender comes out.
The problem with the Bebop adaptation is the anime cared about minimalism which is why Spike's past is vague. The Netfiix show along with edgy and out there "mature" changes feels the needs to expand on Spike's history which shows a fundamental lack of understanding of the source material.
@@li-limandragon9287 I don’t care that there is more focus on Vicious and Julia, even though I agree that giving them that much extra screen time demonstrates a misunderstanding of the source material. The focus should be on the crew of the Bebop and their daily lives. What drives me truly insane is how ****ing awful the new versions of Julia and Vicious are. The Netflix writers clearly felt it was a flaw the original show that we only get 5 episodes with Vicious and Julia. But their versions of Vicious and Julia were so awful I wanted to skip forward anytime they appeared.
@@TheJadedJamesAlso they made Faye so cringe.
@@li-limandragon9287 Faye was bad. But Vicious and Julia were straight up unwatchable
Some issues of course but I knew it was gonna be good and well acted the moment they played it all straight. No comments other than things that properly would be said by the characters.
I wish they could’ve had Sanji and Nami’s dynamic from the manga, not Sanji being a horny simp but just Nami using him to get whatever she wants. I get that somethings are better left in the source but overt flaws make the characters more fun.
@@li-limandragon9287 I read an article that the producers said they wanted Season One to retain a "sense of purity and innocence," hence why they made certain changes
THEY YASSIFIED USOPP
What shonen anime protagonist *isn't* on the spectrum?
on the top of my head, Yusuke Urameshi. infact other then being a troubled teen he seems the most normal guy ever compared to other Shonen protags
Yuji Itadori from JJK isn't autistic, he's just a very lovable good kid that so happens to be able to wreck 90% of the population with his fists.
@awsomesaucekirby
Most JoJos and Denji, yeah he’s horny but not clueless.
If you haven't already, I really recommend watching the Mother's Basement video on One Piece character design.
0:24
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING M-
(opening theme plays)
Luffy is a goofy ass NIKA
Zoro is basically Pat when he plays Deus Ex.
Man, even negative nancies like Critical Drinker loved it. Oda did good?? Did he break the Netflix adaptation curse??
Never underestimate the power of Goda. If he wants the adaptation to be good then it will be.
