putting luffy on zoro's chest right up there with the steelatom hug goodbye on my "they could've kissed right here and literally nothing would've changed so they really should've kissed" list

You might already know this but i didn't the gay pink haired marine boy was played by a trans actor. I love tht theres enough trans actors now tht its possible to lose track of one so it's a surprise to find out. Ppl apparently had this reaction to barbie but im Nef pilled even though ive nvr watched nething shes a tumblr girl

i didn't know until i was on his instagram actually! i do also love that i'm sure decades ago someone declared koby the gay little pink one and we're simply joining the tradition. and what a tradition it is

I know its been a while since the LA dropped but I'm watching it right now and oh my god its so baaad and all I see are good reviews, like even leaving the adaptation aspect it's just bad writing I need to get it out of my system orz It's supposed to be show dont tell not the other way round, and here everything is being spelled out, like when Buchi's trying to eat that blue goo Sham's like dont eat the POIsOnOUs McPoiSoN and a lot of other characters just say stuff purely for exposition which sounds super clunky to me in a live action setting where they want it to be serious asjjddj Also Iñaki while he is super cute, he's just so one note for me, feels forced and like you and other people were saying that they're making him into the goodest little pirate, look he's so good and moral, he's not actually a pirate he's a Good PirateTM. Dont even get me started on how literal the paralells between him and Shanks were in the flashbacks, I felt like I was being slammed on the head, I get it he looks up to him WE KNOW you've said it three times already, the adaptation aspect is another can of worms ofc like I cant comprehend people being happy about Zoro being so emotionless, but at least the costumes and sets are nice... most of the time

dfkghdjkf I'm glad you got it all out anon it seems this blog has become a somewhat confessional for the live action since it's being met with a lot of forgiveness everywhere else. Not that that's a bad thing since I'd rather it be enjoyed than not, but we're all allowed to be critical in our own right and yeah you sure summed up a lot of what the first episode alone made me feel lmao

that netflix cookie jar segment was incredibly off-putting in terms of questions asked but it did give iñaki saying "oh! pay de nuez! TRASH" and it also gave us "what if we were a metal band" and i cannot stop thinking about that as an au
