I've Seen Some Takes About The One Piece Live Action And I'm About To Defend Some Visual Choices:

I've seen some takes about the one piece live action and I'm about to defend some visual choices:

"Roger doesn't look cool enough" he's literally sick and dying at this point. And even then they made him look like a pirate. I 1000% believe the Roger we see would be thought of as the most dangerous/evil man.

"The fishmen look weird" "arlong looks lame" the issue with one piece characters is that a lot of their visuals would have a hard time translating properly to live action. Oda even said things had to change. He has a very cartoonish style that makes his designs unique (with exceptions). They translated them all the best they could, I'm so insanely happy they're doing practical as much as they can.

"Luffys power looks creepy" that is the point. He's a freak. He's a man who shows up and stretches his body in impossible ways. We just now have a good visual of how uncanny and terrifying that is to behold. The devil fruits are called devil fruits for a reason. They clearly put care into making it look as realistic as possible which I'm so thankful for.

I will say my one wish is that the season was a full 10 episodes instead of 8, because one full episode in Logue town leading into the grandline would be fantastic. Especially since we'll get those reaction shots for luffys first bounty. But I'm very happy with what I've seen so I'll let the show runners do what they do and form opinions once I've seen it.
