@@Orbitalbomb Ah yes, I can see it. Luffy gets struck by lightning, Bart then drops everything he's doing, joins Luffy on the spot and becomes the 6th Strawhat. Helps him fend of smoker, topples the candelabra and singlehandedly carries Nami to the top of Drum Mountain.
maybe only 5 - if they continue being able to fit five story arc into 1 season like they did with season 1, we should be all the way caught up in just about 8 seasons (depending on how many arcs are in the final saga and if they take longer to tell some story arcs than they do others i.e. fishman island, thriller bark, marineford etc).
That Matt Owens (likely with Oda's backing) was able to push back against execs and not get fired means they recognized how important he is to the success of this show. If Matt Owens was ever forced off the show I'd instantly know it's going to be shit and all my interest would instantly evaporate. I'd honestly probably unsub from Netflix, since I only subbed to watch OPLA.
@Neo-Queenserenityt2l it really sucks tho like Spiderman 3, thor Love and Thunder, the amazing Spiderman movie. All these were ruined by executive, smh
executives: "so what is buggy doing this season, we have to bring him back he responded really well with our focus groups" oda: "oh he doesnt show up again for at least 5 seasons" yeah i can see this going to be a rough ride.
I mean I genuinely cannot see how they end with Alabasta. Hell they did the best thing by (potentially) giving Alabasta and entire season for itself, which it absolutely deserves
In a sense you're right but season 2 may feel a little underwhelming The highlights may be Logue Town and Drum Island I actually love that they will take time to do these arcs justice Everything will look so beautiful I believe
@Vin-xj7mk tbh, I don't think it'll be underwhelming. Romance Dawn is far more underwhelming, this will have awesome chopper moments, and could end on a massive cliffhanger which will gaurantee another season
Imagine normies seeing the Laboon scene and Zoro at whiskey peak. Zoro vs Luffy😮. Giants, Hiruluk's speech and blackbeard name drop First time watchers are not ready.
Bartolomeo is not in a flashback, though. He is right there when Luffy is about to be executed by Buggy. I love how they put in those little details that became canon in the manga retrospectively.
And this is why live actions fail because some higher ups wants to skip shit. Either give us more episodes or shut up. This is one piece of all things we dont skip a damn thing
@@djfusionkotbit isn't skippable. Nami got sick on little garden, Mr. 3 fails and then has the whole thing in crocodile's casino, Mr. Prince's antics have consequences with Bon Clay and crocodiles casino, it also affects enies lobby with the giants, it sets up usopp's bravery arc.
@djfusionkotb we can't skip little garden, that's the whole reason we find out about elbaf, mr. 3 and the reasons Nami gets sick so we go to drum island and some exposition
I can see the viewpoint from both sides. Little Garden is still very important, but at the same time thier's only so much they have to work with ? I still hope season 2 does well
Actually Karoo is very manageable. He only appears for a short comic relief scene with Miss Wednesday in Whiskey Peak and stays on the ship/ almost freezes to death for the whole of Drum Island. His big scenes are on Little Garden and Chopper is not there yet. Even during Alabasta as soon as they land he is sent ahead to the palace with a letter effectively removing him from the first part of the story and only comes back for a little bit in the second half where he is immediately beaten. With some work around he is very doable.
They could use a well trained large bird for most of his standing roles lol. It would even be a good cgi base if they can get the bird to wear a little green hat lol.
I'd say Baby Yoda actully IS a good approach for Chopper. He's a series regular and he's not made out of CGI, he's an animatronic puppet. His popularity alone showed how much people were actually willing to accept.
@@Calamity25well obviously Chopper would be different, I mostly just talking about his small form. Also Baby Yoda still does flups and stuff but yeah i think that's a pretty good way to approach Chopper. An advanced puppet with a mix of CGI, more cgi than Baby Yoda.
This might not be a popular opinion but I like the idea of ending season 2 with reveal that Luffy has a brother looking for him. It would be really good cliff hanger for the next season.
I really like the casting of Miss Wednesday. I recently rewatched Bridgerton and she is excellent in it. And I noticed although this cast confirmed it, they are casting characters in a non-spoiler way for “Live Action Onlys” (I still can’t believe that’s a thing. So the person playing Miss All Sunday will be cast as Miss All Sunday, not [SPOILER]. These castings have made me even more excited. See the Live Action casting Barto for Loguetown even though the Live Action will likely never get to Dressrosa is what I want WIT to do in their remake. Add in references and foreshadowing that aren't in Tori's anime or the manga, like Barto at Loguetown, a news article, or a Marine report about one of the other Supernovas, etc.
@@mrbluesky3972 Each season will take less time to produce the only reason why s2 is taking so long right now to make was due to the Netflix strikes that happened late last year which postponed the filming date much later
that'd be cool - we end with them about to enter alabasta and then fly quickly back to drum kingdom to hear the guy say that he just remembered that someone had come looking for Luffy. Which do you think they'll end on, the lines 'my name is ace, he'll know who I am' or with Doctorine talking about the 'will of d'.
I think drum island is a pretty underrated arc and can have a good satisfying ending but they really need to give us a more threatening villain than wapol. Possibilities could be using Mr 3 pulling the strings with Miss Sunday on order from crocodile and they clash at drum island instead of little garden. The live action is its own unique adaptation so I think this could work. Then have the B plot with smoker and tashigi in alabasta facing crocodile at the climax. They need to draw up hype for season 3 and Wapol doesn't cut it.
They need to double down on the "sick nation" idea and how Hililuk is the doctor who saves nations. It'll be more political thriller than other arcs, but it's the only way for the idea to work
They need to connect loguetown, WP, LG to drum island for it to work as a finale of the season. Smoker/Tashigi Marine B-plot needs to intersect w/ the Strawhats-Baroque works' A-plot too. Idk how they'd make Wapol as the big bad of the season when the whole season was about baroque works + marines (b-plot).
The thing I'm wondering is how the conversation went down. Everyone is acting like the executives were threatening the kill Oda and Matt lol what if it was just went like Exec: we should skip some arcs Matt: that wouldn't be a good idea Execs: ok Don't get me wrong, people at the top of any company are usually pretty shitty but I don't think there's some secret blood bath war taking place behind the scenes I mean hell even some fans want alabasta
I think it's just because people usually see executives as just money sucking vampires who don't know anything about the thing they're making money from and yet demand other people to do things their way so thats probably why people are glad matt Owens and oda are keeping a strict reign on them, I mean Oda literally made them reshoot some things back when season 1 was filming simply because he didn't like it, So yeah
They are able to do this because Oda owns the entire rights of One Piece. It also works that it is a story that is still ongoing. Most other live actions are from manga/anime that already ended which makes most mangaka more likely to accept whatever a western film company wants to change. It's a miracle that One Piece is still running, Oda is fighting for the story and Matt Owens is willing to respect what Oda wants. Sadly nowadays not many shows are like this to their source material anymore.
Releasing an all season in one go is really some bad decision from Netflix for high expectancy show. Because if you release all directly, the people invested will watch it then maybe talk about it the day or week after at their work or with family which could not have the time to see a full season show, and that's sometimes all. While with an extended release more people could catch the train when their coworker talk about the last episode. I understand that maybe a one episode a week is really a slow (and a bit counter-induitive for their prime market), but they could easly increase the number of episode. Just limit the diffusion within a full month, releasing 2 or 3 episodes a week (so about 10 for the season). You can even use it as a marketing thing, the "[name of the series] Month" and advertise it as the next big thing (for at least this month).
Limiting episode release just means people won't watch it til it's all out, I have to deal with this for EVERY show cause my friend has OCD. Don't do that
If we every reached Gear 5 Would we just see a Who framed roger rabbit/Looney tunes back in action and it's just a literal cartoon/anime Luffy beating up a real life dragon
You know what, I think being cautious with content in the beginning is really important now. This is the GRAND LINE, we're talking about. This is the culmination of the start of everyone's dreams. This will be the first impression of the truly important feasts. And what if One Piece Live Action ends prematurely? You'll still have these phenomenally paced next two seasons (lots of retroactive new Oda stuff will be put into place, too, in Season 2, and Season 3 can now be truly glorious) - rather than historical footage of things being rushed to an ending that doesn't exist. This will let the casual world know, what the fans were talking about when they were disappointed with the pacing of Season 1.
I also believe the passage of time in one piece is unbelievable. All those events before the time skip happens in a few months is impossible. It makes it look like the world is small and they can hop from island to island that fast. For one thing they're using sails not engines. Maybe they stay in the island at most 1 week but most of the time they're traveling. So them aging in the live action as the season progresses is more realistic.
It's looking almost certain that Xolo is Ace... he was just spotted hanging out with Inaki too a few hours ago today.😎 Plus, his associate let it slip on a Mexican talk show a few months ago.
It doesn't make sense if he is Ace. Ace shouldn't be played by a latino actor since Gol D Roger has been played by an American actor. Ace is not a biological brother to Luffy, so he doesn't need to be latino.
executives: "so what is buggy doing this season, we have to bring him back he responded really well with our test groups" oda: "oh he doesnt show up again for at least 4 seasons" yeah i can see this going to be a rough ride.
@@thevioletbee5879 They dont really need to, all they have to do is show him get arrested at the end of Loguetown. If we ever make it to Impel Down, I'm guessing that would be like 5-6 seasons from now. But to be fair I don't think the LA will ever make it to Sabaody 1. Probably it ends with Season 3 Alabasta or Skypeia- if they don't skip it. JKJK
It can be difficult to get actors to return after some time, but I feel like you're forgetting the franchise were talking about. A lot of the actors seem pretty dedicated to bringing this story to life, I feel like most if not all actors accepting a certain role would be willing to say no to work in the future when their time comes. Sure, to most this is just a regular show, but to the people who love it their dedicated to it. We have actors like the main cast who are fully dedicated to their roles, Emily basically trained her whole life for this moment. If this show is a constant success, that means it will be a commitment from the jump! It's a long running show, where characters come and go constantly, you don't just take a role knowing you won't come back later.
Chopper being in heavy point all the time would be the cheapest route. And definitely understandable from that viewpoint of saving on costs. But it would also show a lack of resolve to provide your best effort. Fans expect the cute character everyone knows Chopper to be. Skimping out on that by taking the easy route will always deliver the expected disappointed reaction from fans. The director and crew have shown they're willing to provide their best for this adaptation, so I have faith they will find a way to try and meet fan expectations.
they’re not gonna miss out an opportunity to use chopper’s brain point. even on the business perspective and marketing chopper would make for very VERY good merch. people want cute and adorable things so they definitely will not miss out on his small form.
bruh, nobody's gonna use Joe Manganiello as just a placeholder for other actor, if they get him he's probably gonna be one of the biggest names attached to the project
I’m only halfway through the manga, and I have friends who are caught up, and I’m convinced the crew swapping game Foxy plays will come back in a pivotal dramatic moment, but my friends say it won’t happen. Remember though, Elbaf is first mentioned in Drum Island, and from what I hear it’s finally coming to fruition in current day one piece. I think Foxy was just extremely early set up for something big coming. And because of that I think they won’t skip it, I think it’ll be a one off episode that ends with introducing Aokiji to set up Water 7 and Enies Lobby.
Oda is really close to the showrunners and writters and we got a foxy poster on episode 1, so i totally agree w you. Im curenly on the beggining of Punk Hazard arc and i stopped One Piece 10 years ago because... life happens. Now i'm rewatching everything from start and bro, it's amazing how mutch setup they did. And the show is no different, like, first Zoro scene he's killing a Baroque Works guy. Now we'll probably get back to it and casuals will have the same effect we had "oh, the guy zoro killed, the card" etc. One Piece is proabably the single modern thing comparable to Lord of Rings in terms of development and craft.
can confirm about the word of mouth. for YEARS i refused to touch one piece and suddenly OPLA released and it's all my friends could talk about on social media, etc. eventually you cave and go what's the deal with this anyway, how good could it possibly be? Then you've been caught and before you know it you're caught up and eagerly awaiting the weekly releases of the manga/anime!
Adding Bart is great and there is room for Ace. Besides the end of Drum he could run into Buggy and have that drinking scene. Buggy could get arrested by Smoker and give Smoker more to do like they did with Garp. I think anyone important they cast they're going have to give more work to/make some changes.
Even from money perspective it's stupid when they can make more seasons out of such amazing source material. They should focus on putting more money and effort into this series to pump out seasons faster to catch up with story before actors age too much. OPLA have potential to be Netflix next flagship show once Stranger things end.
This was a really nice and informative video! Thank you so much. I totally agree on most of the things you said. It really would be heartbreaking to have Chopper looking good for like 2 minutes and then you never see him again lol And also the part about age being no problem, I couldn't agree more. :)
I'm a supporter of Heavy Point being the default mode of chopper on this version. Because having Brain Point as the default would require either a tiny CG pet that is bound to look terrible, or a child or preteen actor... do I have to explain why that's a huge risk at best and a terrible idea at worst? However, I hope they DON'T make a "big breakthrough in VFS that makes them cost less" is not a good idea. CG artists are already not-unionized , and are being paid misery rates due to it (That's a big part of why Disney is getting SO reliant on CG). But don't believe a YT comment, go check out first hand accounts and the official numbers.
If we had all the arcs as seasons, my take > Season 1: Eastblue Season 2: Loguetown, Whisky Peak, Little Garden + Drum Season 3: Alabasta Season 4: Skypeia Season 5: Water 7 + Ennies Lobby Season 6: Thriller Bark, Sabaody + Amazon Lily Season 7: Impel Down Season 8: Marineford Season 9: Fishmen Island + Punk Hazard Season 10: Dressrossa Season 11: Wholecake Season 12: Wano
If they get that far, I can see Netflix changing their minds and making One Piece Weekly for the Water 7/Enies Lobby season, (maybe expand the season to 12 episodes so you easily fit Long Ring Long land as well as the escape and end of Enies Lobby, and possibly push Post Enies to open season 6 and ends with Sabody (if you can do 2 with Post Enies, 3-4 with Sabody, then you get 5 or 6 with Thriller Bark. Expanding the season gives an excuse to change the delivery format, right now we are at a shifting societal perspective on weekly serial formats so 5-6 years from now it will have evolved further, and also the success to get to a season 5 could justify a reinvestment in the series to change format and maybe up the season episode count).
@@nizzanator Honestly, I would have thought that for the East Blue Saga too, I'm just reminded that these are hour long episodes. So my thought process was (but honestly I'd love it to be 16 episodes): 1) Long Ring, Long Land with Foxy 2) Kuzan and the Train Station 3) Water 7 introduction Galley-La, Ship check 4) Franky Family, where's Robin, Usopp mugged 5) Raid on Franky House, Usopp Leaves the Crew, first Iceberg assassination attempt 6) CP9 reveal, Aqua Laguna, Sanji on the Sea train 7) Sea Train Saga 8) Breaking into Enies Lobby, Luffy going crazy, Giants Guard 9) Raid on Enies, Open the bridge, "Gear 2", "Say you want to live" 10) vs. CP9 start, everyone finds their opponents, Franky fight, Sanji Losing to Kalifa, Chopper goes monster 11)Nami saves Sanji, Sanji, Ussop, Zoro vs. Jabra and Kaku, Lucci vs. Luffy, Usopp sniper shots 12) Robin is free, Luffy vs. Lucci finally, Escape for Enies 13) Enies wrap up, Merry Funeral 14) Franky builds Sunny, Franky joins crew, Usopp returns, Garp visits, Party Well.. maybe you are right and I just proved your point...Still, I wouldn't put it past them to figure out how to put it into 13. (And I feel like I'm missing the flashbacks in this explanation, so 16 might be perfect)
I mean honestly doing arabasta might have been the better option in terms of main stream media sucess honestly I think people who are watching for the first time will think this season is very slow and not as impactfull. Hopefully the show will still get season 3 4 and so on and they make it work.
Hearing all the difficulties with Chopper and Karoo makes me think about Fishman Island or Zou. Netflix better make that effects breakthrough or absolutely make the bank of their lives in Summit War and Dressrosa otherwise they're gonna suffer the whole arc.
Chopper isn't a mink though, they might have to adapt Zou more in line with how they designed Merry for the live action - more emphasis on humanoid and subtle animal traits. I expect Bebo to big a big soft dude with polar bear ears and such.
So many people wanted Erin and yes she is besutifull and looks like Robin but idk why Lera have that vibe of seriousness and serenity that makes her looks mature i mean the actress is 31 or 32 im not sure. Oh and i hope Iñaki (Luffy) improves his acting skills. A little bit more natural not so cringe.
Mad respect for Matt Owens for fighting back on skipping arcs. He’s been proving himself to be a true fan for quite a while now. I can’t wait to see season 2.
I think they’ll have the Ace scene in Drum Kingdom as an end credit scene like Smoker at the end of s1 (but they don’t need to have an actor casted to do that just like they did with Smoker). All they need to do is have a character mention that there was someone looking for Luffy after they’ve left the island and maybe have a flashback to the scene. I don’t think they’ll spend the entire season 3 in Alabasta (I mean it could happen, I just don’t think so), so Ace and Blackbeards introductions will be big moments in season 3 prepping for future seasons. Ofc, s3 hasn’t been confirmed, but that’s just my thoughts.
I trust them. I was super impressed with how they were able to condense a lot of stuff down into season 1. Also the casting has been on point so far. They really should be smart enough to spend the money on this series, it is immensely popular and if they do it well it will continue to bring in viewers. As for Alabasta, I feel like I'm the only one that found it unnecessarily long and I never cared about Vivi. Season 3 will hopefully cut out a lot of redundant scenes and make that a more interesting arc. They really should film seasons back to back. It takes way too long between seasons. Filming back to back also will help mitigate those casting issues.
I'm confident that if Stranger Things and Sense8 were on linear TV, in a big chanel like HBO or Showtime, or ABC, it would absolutely be the new Game of Thrones or something. Stranger Things is so crafted around the misteries i can't undestand why Netflix never switched to weekly. I think their model sould be kept to show that aren't as big as One Piece, Avatar, and others. Shows like One Piece (reports estmated to cost around 18milion for episode), should be Weekly because you force the audience to keep their signature to watch it every single week and you allow it to benfefit for all other goods of weekly shows, the build up, the fomo, the theories. Netflix put aboslute bangers throught the years. Shows that would trive on HBO or AMC, but got canceled on Season 1 or 2 simply because the binge watching model doesn't work for every single story. I would say for mostly of the TV shows it doesn't, but people are on FOMO and thats why a lot of them do it. I also think the aging is actually a good thing to one piece show. It is strange that they crossed so many islands a did so many things and it all happened in a couple of months. And watch the cast getting older with their characters would actually be cool. Would be a reverse Percy Jackson. Because series like HP and PJ&O showed kids growing up to be adults. But One Piece can show young adults growing to their prime maturity. Also, imagine see ppl like Miwhalk and Shanks older and still being bad ass. In thing would be cool AF. I don't know if one piece will thrive, but i belive if they get Drum Island and Alabasta right, they will hook up the fans same way the anime did and i belive Netflix is actually thinking on the long run. They know one piece has the potential to keep growing because the anime is out there for 25 years and still getting new fans, and i think they want to capture that fanbase, just the same with Avatar. One Piece, Avatar, Wednesday and Bridgerton are probably the next top shows on netflix priority right now. I'm really afraid about Skypea. But Water 7-Ennies Lobby, Thiller Bark-Sabaody e Impel Down-Marineford are all bangers. I really belive if we past Skypea, the show will grow in a momentum that only stops on Marineford War. Great video, lot of information and thoughts based on facts ,just found your channel and i liked. See ya
Yeah, but despite that Nuxanor is friends with Matt Owens. So theres at least some legimacy to his claims, because it would be natural to assume that Owens would not wanna hang out with people that are lying about him.
Joe Manganienello is actually a pretty big actor. He was in True Blood, for one. I've never seen it but i have friends who do. He's a big guy and would look great as Crocodile.
I knew they'd bring in Bartolomeo. We didn't see originally that Dragon was in the crowd when Gold Roger was executed - not the first time we were shown the execution. Later on they showed us that scene again reanimated and showed us that Dragon was there in the crowd. We saw Dragon briefly in the opening scene of the live action series - that is we saw someone in a green cloak and hood standing near where the rest of the marines were standing. I knew that would be a good precedent to show us Bartolomeo in loguetown the first time we went there
You’re right. The batch release of the full season can be detrimental. Netflix should do it the way they release their realities or shows from other nations. Release 3-4 and then 1 or 2 for the rest of the season.
I’ve been describing Sabaody as an Infinity War level event…it gets real and you want to look away but you can’t. Ig another comparison is Red Wedding (if u wanna use GOT) but that seems a bit extreme…maybe we describe Marinefold as RW
I really thought they'd bump it up to like 10 episodes cut out whiskey peak and do alabasta this season and I was on board for that plan. My only real concern is that they need to keep moving so there's not a billion seasons. But if oda and matt think this is the way then let's for it!
Whiskey peak is where the buildup for alabasta kicks off. Us animanga fans have the luxury of knowing everything. However the exclusive live action fans don't know anything about all these stuff. Gotta get them on board with the adventure too. They need it more than us. And if Netflix wants OP to be one of their main money maker they will have to trust matt and oda
Honestly, I really think Alabasta should've been part of this season, because now you've got this entire season of conflict building up that's now gonna stat unresolved until the start of the following season and end on a side plot instead. IMO they should've extended the number of episodes in the season, or if that was truly impossible, cut Drum Island out of this saga, but make it the start of season 3. Because as much as I love Chopper, he can be lifted out of the Alabasta saga without too much difficulty because of how isolated his arc is from the rest of that Saga. Hell, I'd say it might even fit better as the start of Skypeia since Drum Island being destroyed and Wapol fleeing it is tied to Blackbeard. All you'd really have to do is have Usopp either fight Mr. 4 and Ms Merry Christmas on his own or pair him with a side character to take them on, like Karoo. Outside of that one fight, Chopper doesn't contribute too much to Alabasta as a whole that can't be rewritten to accommodate that change fairly easily.
Netflix has started spliting their seasons in half. Half comes out and then a month or two the 2nd half drops. 8 episodes for their 1st season did hurt somewhat cause parts got rushed.
its sad that higher ups in any work like this have words that are heavy and could make the show suck. but we all know that the internet can bully them, can even shift the stocks or money and their lives to an UNHEALTHY AND DANGEROUS territory, just like the ugly sonic. SO i will just trust the internet and the passionate people working in this live action to pull through and make sure it gets the love it deserves.
I think they could do Karu pretty well with puppet work and a small amount of cgi for say his feet and so it’s not too expensive just have him wait on the ship the whole time. I like Karu
If he's Ace I will be so unhappy because so far the casting did so good with casting people that are fresh to me. I want to keep One Piece as a world that feels unique to me and as a massive Cobra Kai fan, casting him as Ace wouldn't work for me. He has a better look than the other guy that is rumored to be Ace but he is Miguel and I don't think I can disconnect that in my mind. Also my theory is they will tease Ace at some point without showing him and we will get the reveal for s3.
What if they did an Ace story as a throughline side story the way they did for Colby and Garp in season one? Ace traipsing around the Grand Line then the season ends with them meeting up on Alabasta. That’s be fun and a good way to previews some future parts of the grand line, also setting up Whitebeard and Blackbeard. Doubt they have the time for it, but if you told me they would have so much of Colbymeppo in season one and got through Arlong Park I’d have said that’s impossible too.
@@nizzanator I tried to look if he confirmed it on an SBS, I don't believe he did. But at the time I do think Zoro was outmatched regardless. It would be interesting if he did though.
I always said there was absolutely zero way they could both stay faithful to the manga, keep the season's episode count reasonable AND end season 2 with Alabasta, and I'm VERY glad to see Mr. Owen push for faithfulness over pleasing suits by rushing to the "big payoffs". Reminder that the last time someone tried to rush through One Piece, 4Kids REPLACED LABOON WITH A LITERAL ICEBERG. Do not do it.
if we ever do get to marineford and summit war seasons, they will definitely be released in parts. when a series at netflix becomes established, and they have a few seasons out, they start releasing it in parts.
I wonder if they'll use practical effects for brain point chopper. It could be a lot cheaper that way and still look good. Jurrasic Park still looks good (I know animatronics aren't cheap, but the idea that it's mostly practical effects is my point). Yoda from the first three movies is still pretty good. I think it's possible. They could even do a split between practical and CGI to make it look better.
no you got it wrong. for a show like this you WANT to maximise casting. casting early, making actors sign the contracts, locks them into that contract. if you wait, you may lose on that actor as they can sign onto other things. but for example, if they contact Joe and say “we want you for a huge role in season 3 and a small role in season 2; be available X date for the filming of season three” then they have the actor ready. you don’t pay the actor when they get casted and sign these contracts, they’re paid after work is done. they’re paid per episode, not per contract. if they don’t contact Joe now and lock him into a contract and a schedule, he may actually get another role somewhere else like you’re trying to say. you got it backwards. casting isn’t expensive, at least not for signing multi year long seasonal deals with companies. when actors sign multi year contracts, they don’t get paid for every thing they will do in that time. they get paid as they do it. it just locks them in for that availability. so since Crocodile WILL be in season 2 (to establish him as a villain in season 3, and the fact he already appears in little garden) this will happen.
they should have a slight tweak to the live action story. Simply by allowing the characters to age accordingly. stretch out the timeframes a bit in the story so it lines up well. That would allow for them to finish the show without it being wierd how luffy is all of a sudden a 28 year old.
Pretty sure they'll just say they sailed for longer periods (as in it might've been a week in the manga/anime, but here they sailed for a month between islands etc) - seems like the simplest way to neatly cover up production times.
What I would do given the new production schedule or my 7 season layout Season 1 (already done) - Romance Dawn to Arlong Park Season 2 Loguetown to Drum Kingdom Season 3 Just Alabasta (maybe Jaya too idk) Season 4 Skypeia Season 5 Water 7 and Eneis Lobby Season 6 Thriller Bark and end with Sabaody Season 7 Impel Down and Marineford (wrapping everything up pre time skip) (maybe have an episode or two with adventures of the Strawhats)
@@danblack556 Yeah maybe. Its just even post Enies Lobby stuff has so many important moments too. Going Merry, Garp revisited, Yonko reveal, New world reveal, the sunny reveal, Franky joining the crew.
I think for sure it will get to S3 with S3 only being Alabasta. If they go after that it will get to S5 with Jaya Skypea being s4 and long ring, water 7 enniess lobby s5.
Smashing 5arcs into 8 episodes of around 45-60min each ... I got that bad feeling that a lot of important things will be scratched, a lot of funny events ignored, the mash-up of events/stories of caracters and most importantly, in this Netflix version , will the goal quest of one piece be The One Piece itself and all that the story/intrigues that it involves ... ??!
For some reason I think Chopper will be green screened/cgi like Smeagol. The actor your showing from The Umbrella Academy is cut! He would only need the fur in heavy point tbh. The skinny guy w/dark hair you showed was not him. I hope he is an efx guy.
I HATE weekly episodes. I don't end up watching, I forget about it. I prefer binge watching and then going back and rewatching favourite parts or episodes.
I think this is the right call if we finished Alabasta in one season this show was not getting more then 3 serason there is no way Skypeia is strong enough to hold a season alone.
I think ace could be cast already, cause he does appear in the drum kingdom, they mention its the one day it didn't snow, a hint towards aces devil fruit, for non anime/manga a person looking luffy could make themthink oo shit hes a bounty hunter looking luffy, to have the shock off, hes really looking for his younger brother, the season willbend on drum kingdom, why not end it with ace reveal, they did it season 1 with smoker
Imagine being Bart's actor.
"So you're going to be in this one scene and if we last 10 more seasons you'll be around for a whole season"
If we make it there you'll become an instant fan favorite 😂 The promise is so tempting lol.
High key, it's one piece.... I'd take it, and I'd write the contract and negotiate the price now.
another one who didn’t see what they did with Garp in season one. It’s impossible for them to make him relevant in the next season right?
@@Orbitalbomb Ah yes, I can see it. Luffy gets struck by lightning, Bart then drops everything he's doing, joins Luffy on the spot and becomes the 6th Strawhat.
Helps him fend of smoker, topples the candelabra and singlehandedly carries Nami to the top of Drum Mountain.
maybe only 5 - if they continue being able to fit five story arc into 1 season like they did with season 1, we should be all the way caught up in just about 8 seasons (depending on how many arcs are in the final saga and if they take longer to tell some story arcs than they do others i.e. fishman island, thriller bark, marineford etc).
That Matt Owens (likely with Oda's backing) was able to push back against execs and not get fired means they recognized how important he is to the success of this show.
If Matt Owens was ever forced off the show I'd instantly know it's going to be shit and all my interest would instantly evaporate. I'd honestly probably unsub from Netflix, since I only subbed to watch OPLA.
Same
F the executives! Who are these idiots! Thank you so much Mat Owens and of course Oda sensei for fighting for us.
Fr, it's actually insane how many things they mess up for the sake of money.
What do you mean? 🤔 I get it now
@Neo-Queenserenityt2l it really sucks tho like Spiderman 3, thor Love and Thunder, the amazing Spiderman movie. All these were ruined by executive, smh
The same executives that worked at 4kids who decided to skip little garden...
executives: "so what is buggy doing this season, we have to bring him back he responded really well with our focus groups"
oda: "oh he doesnt show up again for at least 5 seasons"
yeah i can see this going to be a rough ride.
I mean I genuinely cannot see how they end with Alabasta. Hell they did the best thing by (potentially) giving Alabasta and entire season for itself, which it absolutely deserves
its easy. if they did 12 episodes instead of 8 its possible
In a sense you're right but season 2 may feel a little underwhelming
The highlights may be Logue Town and Drum Island
I actually love that they will take time to do these arcs justice
Everything will look so beautiful I believe
@Vin-xj7mk tbh, I don't think it'll be underwhelming. Romance Dawn is far more underwhelming, this will have awesome chopper moments, and could end on a massive cliffhanger which will gaurantee another season
Imagine normies seeing the Laboon scene and Zoro at whiskey peak. Zoro vs Luffy😮. Giants, Hiruluk's speech and blackbeard name drop
First time watchers are not ready.
@@Vin-xj7mkworld building the grandline > mostly hype scenes
Bartolomeo is not in a flashback, though. He is right there when Luffy is about to be executed by Buggy. I love how they put in those little details that became canon in the manga retrospectively.
It was a flashback. It was shown during Dressrosa where in that point of time was way past Loguetown.
@@wartortle577 Exactly. So in season 2 of the live action it'll take place in the present.
@@p0rt3r Yes but he didn't appear. Not even as a cameo.
@@wartortle577 Not sure what you mean. All I'm saying is we won't see him in a flashback in the live action, since he will be there in the present.
@@p0rt3r He shouldn't be there in Loguetown is my point. Was he there? Yes. Was he shown? No.
And this is why live actions fail because some higher ups wants to skip shit. Either give us more episodes or shut up. This is one piece of all things we dont skip a damn thing
Little Garden is skippable. Elbaf is 15 years away from the live action.
@@djfusionkotbit isn't skippable. Nami got sick on little garden, Mr. 3 fails and then has the whole thing in crocodile's casino, Mr. Prince's antics have consequences with Bon Clay and crocodiles casino, it also affects enies lobby with the giants, it sets up usopp's bravery arc.
@djfusionkotb we can't skip little garden, that's the whole reason we find out about elbaf, mr. 3 and the reasons Nami gets sick so we go to drum island and some exposition
I can see the viewpoint from both sides. Little Garden is still very important, but at the same time thier's only so much they have to work with ? I still hope season 2 does well
@@Furv_Liea All of Little Garden could be made in one episode.
Kaido silhouette at the start of the series had a different design. Wit studios can fix that now
I literally started cutting myself when kaido was revealed because the anime lied to me 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
@MinecraftManager Wait what???
yeah though they might also change their mind lol
@@MinecraftManagernot the animes fault. Its in the manga itself, meaning Oda most likely didn't have a proper design for kaido & big mom at that time
@@Zagref7937 i believe this ! 👍🏻. Oda sure didn't have the idea about the design while he's made the silhouette from the manga !?
Chopper wearing clothes in heavy point could help hide the body and save on prosthetics.
Actually Karoo is very manageable. He only appears for a short comic relief scene with Miss Wednesday in Whiskey Peak and stays on the ship/ almost freezes to death for the whole of Drum Island. His big scenes are on Little Garden and Chopper is not there yet. Even during Alabasta as soon as they land he is sent ahead to the palace with a letter effectively removing him from the first part of the story and only comes back for a little bit in the second half where he is immediately beaten. With some work around he is very doable.
They could use a well trained large bird for most of his standing roles lol. It would even be a good cgi base if they can get the bird to wear a little green hat lol.
Unfortunately I'm calling that Camille will probably be cut it will be sad but I think it's one of those characters that they just don't need.
@@RealHughMan Literally don't even remember what, or who, Camille is lmao
I'd say Baby Yoda actully IS a good approach for Chopper.
He's a series regular and he's not made out of CGI, he's an animatronic puppet. His popularity alone showed how much people were actually willing to accept.
very expensive though
But Baby Yoda barely moved and when he did it was never anything crazy. Chopper would be very different
@@Calamity25well obviously Chopper would be different, I mostly just talking about his small form.
Also Baby Yoda still does flups and stuff but yeah i think that's a pretty good way to approach Chopper. An advanced puppet with a mix of CGI, more cgi than Baby Yoda.
This might not be a popular opinion but I like the idea of ending season 2 with reveal that Luffy has a brother looking for him. It would be really good cliff hanger for the next season.
17:40 also Kobi is a good way to do exposition to explain things to non one piece fans, it doesn't cost much but Idoes a lot of work
I really like the casting of Miss Wednesday. I recently rewatched Bridgerton and she is excellent in it. And I noticed although this cast confirmed it, they are casting characters in a non-spoiler way for “Live Action Onlys” (I still can’t believe that’s a thing. So the person playing Miss All Sunday will be cast as Miss All Sunday, not [SPOILER]. These castings have made me even more excited.
See the Live Action casting Barto for Loguetown even though the Live Action will likely never get to Dressrosa is what I want WIT to do in their remake. Add in references and foreshadowing that aren't in Tori's anime or the manga, like Barto at Loguetown, a news article, or a Marine report about one of the other Supernovas, etc.
By God I hope WIT incorporates cover stories! One Piece had it's own filler built in!
Dressrosa will come out in 2040 with a 40yo Iñaki and a 50yo Nami
@@mrbluesky3972 Each season will take less time to produce the only reason why s2 is taking so long right now to make was due to the Netflix strikes that happened late last year which postponed the filming date much later
Ace will be the Smoker post credit of season 2.
That or they move the Ace v Smoker fight to the end of Drum to end the season with a bang since Wapol might not be a great final boss.
I'm pretty sure the cliffhanger will be Crocodile laugh
@@mrbluesky3972 ooh, that's a good one as well......
that'd be cool - we end with them about to enter alabasta and then fly quickly back to drum kingdom to hear the guy say that he just remembered that someone had come looking for Luffy. Which do you think they'll end on, the lines 'my name is ace, he'll know who I am' or with Doctorine talking about the 'will of d'.
I think it's gonna be Crocodile
I think drum island is a pretty underrated arc and can have a good satisfying ending but they really need to give us a more threatening villain than wapol. Possibilities could be using Mr 3 pulling the strings with Miss Sunday on order from crocodile and they clash at drum island instead of little garden. The live action is its own unique adaptation so I think this could work. Then have the B plot with smoker and tashigi in alabasta facing crocodile at the climax. They need to draw up hype for season 3 and Wapol doesn't cut it.
Wapol absolutely can cut it if they just make him a little more menacing for the live action and maybe introduce him a bit earlier.
Hiruluk's speech and ending the season with a teaser of Croc would get people hype for s3
They need to double down on the "sick nation" idea and how Hililuk is the doctor who saves nations. It'll be more political thriller than other arcs, but it's the only way for the idea to work
They need to connect loguetown, WP, LG to drum island for it to work as a finale of the season.
Smoker/Tashigi Marine B-plot needs to intersect w/ the Strawhats-Baroque works' A-plot too.
Idk how they'd make Wapol as the big bad of the season when the whole season was about baroque works + marines (b-plot).
The thing I'm wondering is how the conversation went down. Everyone is acting like the executives were threatening the kill Oda and Matt lol what if it was just went like
Exec: we should skip some arcs
Matt: that wouldn't be a good idea
Execs: ok
Don't get me wrong, people at the top of any company are usually pretty shitty but I don't think there's some secret blood bath war taking place behind the scenes I mean hell even some fans want alabasta
We really have won with Matt Owens, he's a fan and knows one piece. It's not just Oda backing him.
I think it's just because people usually see executives as just money sucking vampires who don't know anything about the thing they're making money from and yet demand other people to do things their way so thats probably why people are glad matt Owens and oda are keeping a strict reign on them, I mean Oda literally made them reshoot some things back when season 1 was filming simply because he didn't like it, So yeah
They are able to do this because Oda owns the entire rights of One Piece. It also works that it is a story that is still ongoing. Most other live actions are from manga/anime that already ended which makes most mangaka more likely to accept whatever a western film company wants to change. It's a miracle that One Piece is still running, Oda is fighting for the story and Matt Owens is willing to respect what Oda wants. Sadly nowadays not many shows are like this to their source material anymore.
@@Mishiman69and they really are just money suckers
I really hope Joe is crocodile, he’s such a beast of a figure and plus he got hoed out of death stroke so I hope he gets this
Right plus he looks like him, just wonder if he can pull off being menacing like Croccy is when we first meet him
@@Neo-Queenserenityt2l I think he def can, he’s also 6’5 so that’ll help
Releasing an all season in one go is really some bad decision from Netflix for high expectancy show.
Because if you release all directly, the people invested will watch it then maybe talk about it the day or week after at their work or with family which could not have the time to see a full season show, and that's sometimes all. While with an extended release more people could catch the train when their coworker talk about the last episode.
I understand that maybe a one episode a week is really a slow (and a bit counter-induitive for their prime market), but they could easly increase the number of episode.
Just limit the diffusion within a full month, releasing 2 or 3 episodes a week (so about 10 for the season). You can even use it as a marketing thing, the "[name of the series] Month" and advertise it as the next big thing (for at least this month).
Limiting episode release just means people won't watch it til it's all out, I have to deal with this for EVERY show cause my friend has OCD. Don't do that
@@mr.e2643 some will wait the full release, other enjoy having time between episode to discuss it individually.
That's a bad idea
YAAY!! The D&D Player Actor as Sir Crocodile!! Hurray!!!
I respect that you recognize the value of word of mouth. A lot of hollywood execs dont. If they did, they would only optimize quality
I just wanna see "Nothing Happened" in live action...
I have a feeling the live action is gonna end at Enies Lobby. That’s already 6 to 7 years away.
If we every reached Gear 5 Would we just see a Who framed roger rabbit/Looney tunes back in action and it's just a literal cartoon/anime Luffy beating up a real life dragon
Akainu I talked like THISSSSSSSSSS.
You know what, I think being cautious with content in the beginning is really important now. This is the GRAND LINE, we're talking about. This is the culmination of the start of everyone's dreams. This will be the first impression of the truly important feasts. And what if One Piece Live Action ends prematurely? You'll still have these phenomenally paced next two seasons (lots of retroactive new Oda stuff will be put into place, too, in Season 2, and Season 3 can now be truly glorious) - rather than historical footage of things being rushed to an ending that doesn't exist.
This will let the casual world know, what the fans were talking about when they were disappointed with the pacing of Season 1.
I also believe the passage of time in one piece is unbelievable. All those events before the time skip happens in a few months is impossible. It makes it look like the world is small and they can hop from island to island that fast. For one thing they're using sails not engines. Maybe they stay in the island at most 1 week but most of the time they're traveling. So them aging in the live action as the season progresses is more realistic.
Koroto learning what parts of LRLL are canon and what is filler made me laugh so hard.
Executives giving "World Government" vibes and Matt Owens fighting them to keep OPLA alive it's just so ironic.
It's looking almost certain that Xolo is Ace... he was just spotted hanging out with Inaki too a few hours ago today.😎 Plus, his associate let it slip on a Mexican talk show a few months ago.
It doesn't make sense if he is Ace. Ace shouldn't be played by a latino actor since Gol D Roger has been played by an American actor. Ace is not a biological brother to Luffy, so he doesn't need to be latino.

They could bring him in somehow. Probably…
@@thevioletbee5879 They dont really need to, all they have to do is show him get arrested at the end of Loguetown.
If we ever make it to Impel Down, I'm guessing that would be like 5-6 seasons from now.
But to be fair I don't think the LA will ever make it to Sabaody 1. Probably it ends with Season 3 Alabasta or Skypeia- if they don't skip it. JKJK
It can be difficult to get actors to return after some time, but I feel like you're forgetting the franchise were talking about. A lot of the actors seem pretty dedicated to bringing this story to life, I feel like most if not all actors accepting a certain role would be willing to say no to work in the future when their time comes. Sure, to most this is just a regular show, but to the people who love it their dedicated to it. We have actors like the main cast who are fully dedicated to their roles, Emily basically trained her whole life for this moment. If this show is a constant success, that means it will be a commitment from the jump! It's a long running show, where characters come and go constantly, you don't just take a role knowing you won't come back later.
Chopper being in heavy point all the time would be the cheapest route. And definitely understandable from that viewpoint of saving on costs.
But it would also show a lack of resolve to provide your best effort. Fans expect the cute character everyone knows Chopper to be. Skimping out on that by taking the easy route will always deliver the expected disappointed reaction from fans. The director and crew have shown they're willing to provide their best for this adaptation, so I have faith they will find a way to try and meet fan expectations.
they’re not gonna miss out an opportunity to use chopper’s brain point. even on the business perspective and marketing chopper would make for very VERY good merch. people want cute and adorable things so they definitely will not miss out on his small form.
Luffy: I don't want to fight you crocodile
Coco: Yhea i wouldn't want to fight me neither
i think they gonna make bartolomeo a cameo because in his backstory his in louge town seeing luffy execution by buggy and inspired to luffy.
bruh, nobody's gonna use Joe Manganiello as just a placeholder for other actor, if they get him he's probably gonna be one of the biggest names attached to the project
I’m only halfway through the manga, and I have friends who are caught up, and I’m convinced the crew swapping game Foxy plays will come back in a pivotal dramatic moment, but my friends say it won’t happen. Remember though, Elbaf is first mentioned in Drum Island, and from what I hear it’s finally coming to fruition in current day one piece. I think Foxy was just extremely early set up for something big coming. And because of that I think they won’t skip it, I think it’ll be a one off episode that ends with introducing Aokiji to set up Water 7 and Enies Lobby.
Oda is really close to the showrunners and writters and we got a foxy poster on episode 1, so i totally agree w you. Im curenly on the beggining of Punk Hazard arc and i stopped One Piece 10 years ago because... life happens. Now i'm rewatching everything from start and bro, it's amazing how mutch setup they did. And the show is no different, like, first Zoro scene he's killing a Baroque Works guy. Now we'll probably get back to it and casuals will have the same effect we had "oh, the guy zoro killed, the card" etc. One Piece is proabably the single modern thing comparable to Lord of Rings in terms of development and craft.
can confirm about the word of mouth. for YEARS i refused to touch one piece and suddenly OPLA released and it's all my friends could talk about on social media, etc. eventually you cave and go what's the deal with this anyway, how good could it possibly be? Then you've been caught and before you know it you're caught up and eagerly awaiting the weekly releases of the manga/anime!
Adding Bart is great and there is room for Ace. Besides the end of Drum he could run into Buggy and have that drinking scene. Buggy could get arrested by Smoker and give Smoker more to do like they did with Garp. I think anyone important they cast they're going have to give more work to/make some changes.
What do you watch? I ask cause Joe Manganiello is a pretty big star, so I was kind of taken aback you recognize Xolo for Cobra Kai, but not Joe.
I'm glad Matt is fighting for the right flow of the story. One Piece will literally won't make any sense if they skip canon arcs.
Even from money perspective it's stupid when they can make more seasons out of such amazing source material. They should focus on putting more money and effort into this series to pump out seasons faster to catch up with story before actors age too much. OPLA have potential to be Netflix next flagship show once Stranger things end.
This was a really nice and informative video! Thank you so much. I totally agree on most of the things you said. It really would be heartbreaking to have Chopper looking good for like 2 minutes and then you never see him again lol And also the part about age being no problem, I couldn't agree more. :)
I'm a supporter of Heavy Point being the default mode of chopper on this version. Because having Brain Point as the default would require either a tiny CG pet that is bound to look terrible, or a child or preteen actor... do I have to explain why that's a huge risk at best and a terrible idea at worst?
However, I hope they DON'T make a "big breakthrough in VFS that makes them cost less" is not a good idea. CG artists are already not-unionized , and are being paid misery rates due to it (That's a big part of why Disney is getting SO reliant on CG).
But don't believe a YT comment, go check out first hand accounts and the official numbers.
If we had all the arcs as seasons, my take >
Season 1: Eastblue
Season 2: Loguetown, Whisky Peak, Little Garden + Drum
Season 3: Alabasta
Season 4: Skypeia
Season 5: Water 7 + Ennies Lobby
Season 6: Thriller Bark, Sabaody + Amazon Lily
Season 7: Impel Down
Season 8: Marineford
Season 9: Fishmen Island + Punk Hazard
Season 10: Dressrossa
Season 11: Wholecake
Season 12: Wano
If they get that far, I can see Netflix changing their minds and making One Piece Weekly for the Water 7/Enies Lobby season, (maybe expand the season to 12 episodes so you easily fit Long Ring Long land as well as the escape and end of Enies Lobby, and possibly push Post Enies to open season 6 and ends with Sabody (if you can do 2 with Post Enies, 3-4 with Sabody, then you get 5 or 6 with Thriller Bark. Expanding the season gives an excuse to change the delivery format, right now we are at a shifting societal perspective on weekly serial formats so 5-6 years from now it will have evolved further, and also the success to get to a season 5 could justify a reinvestment in the series to change format and maybe up the season episode count).
water 7/ Enies Lobby gonna take 15-16 episodes minimum. Way to ellaborate and important to leave to chance on one season.
@@nizzanator Honestly, I would have thought that for the East Blue Saga too, I'm just reminded that these are hour long episodes.
So my thought process was (but honestly I'd love it to be 16 episodes):
1) Long Ring, Long Land with Foxy
2) Kuzan and the Train Station
3) Water 7 introduction Galley-La, Ship check
4) Franky Family, where's Robin, Usopp mugged
5) Raid on Franky House, Usopp Leaves the Crew, first Iceberg assassination attempt
6) CP9 reveal, Aqua Laguna, Sanji on the Sea train
7) Sea Train Saga
8) Breaking into Enies Lobby, Luffy going crazy, Giants Guard
9) Raid on Enies, Open the bridge, "Gear 2", "Say you want to live"
10) vs. CP9 start, everyone finds their opponents, Franky fight, Sanji Losing to Kalifa, Chopper goes monster
11)Nami saves Sanji, Sanji, Ussop, Zoro vs. Jabra and Kaku, Lucci vs. Luffy, Usopp sniper shots
12) Robin is free, Luffy vs. Lucci finally, Escape for Enies
13) Enies wrap up, Merry Funeral
14) Franky builds Sunny, Franky joins crew, Usopp returns, Garp visits, Party
Well.. maybe you are right and I just proved your point...Still, I wouldn't put it past them to figure out how to put it into 13. (And I feel like I'm missing the flashbacks in this explanation, so 16 might be perfect)
so basically 4kids all over again if executives got their way again
I mean honestly doing arabasta might have been the better option in terms of main stream media sucess honestly I think people who are watching for the first time will think this season is very slow and not as impactfull. Hopefully the show will still get season 3 4 and so on and they make it work.
Hearing all the difficulties with Chopper and Karoo makes me think about Fishman Island or Zou. Netflix better make that effects breakthrough or absolutely make the bank of their lives in Summit War and Dressrosa otherwise they're gonna suffer the whole arc.
Chopper isn't a mink though, they might have to adapt Zou more in line with how they designed Merry for the live action - more emphasis on humanoid and subtle animal traits. I expect Bebo to big a big soft dude with polar bear ears and such.
So many people wanted Erin and yes she is besutifull and looks like Robin but idk why Lera have that vibe of seriousness and serenity that makes her looks mature i mean the actress is 31 or 32 im not sure.

Mad respect for Matt Owens for fighting back on skipping arcs. He’s been proving himself to be a true fan for quite a while now. I can’t wait to see season 2.
I think they’ll have the Ace scene in Drum Kingdom as an end credit scene like Smoker at the end of s1 (but they don’t need to have an actor casted to do that just like they did with Smoker). All they need to do is have a character mention that there was someone looking for Luffy after they’ve left the island and maybe have a flashback to the scene. I don’t think they’ll spend the entire season 3 in Alabasta (I mean it could happen, I just don’t think so), so Ace and Blackbeards introductions will be big moments in season 3 prepping for future seasons. Ofc, s3 hasn’t been confirmed, but that’s just my thoughts.
I trust them. I was super impressed with how they were able to condense a lot of stuff down into season 1.
Also the casting has been on point so far.
They really should be smart enough to spend the money on this series, it is immensely popular and if they do it well it will continue to bring in viewers.
As for Alabasta, I feel like I'm the only one that found it unnecessarily long and I never cared about Vivi. Season 3 will hopefully cut out a lot of redundant scenes and make that a more interesting arc.
They really should film seasons back to back. It takes way too long between seasons. Filming back to back also will help mitigate those casting issues.
About Sabaody on live action... Imagine the season ending with that. Man, everyone would be devastated for two years waiting for the next season.
Luffy will be 30 at that point lol
Do people really think they’re adapting the entire manga? 😂
Then we will understand the strawhats pain.
@@jamesadvincola9687pre Timeskip at least.
@@jamesadvincola9687 Nah, but imagination exists.
I'm confident that if Stranger Things and Sense8 were on linear TV, in a big chanel like HBO or Showtime, or ABC, it would absolutely be the new Game of Thrones or something. Stranger Things is so crafted around the misteries i can't undestand why Netflix never switched to weekly. I think their model sould be kept to show that aren't as big as One Piece, Avatar, and others. Shows like One Piece (reports estmated to cost around 18milion for episode), should be Weekly because you force the audience to keep their signature to watch it every single week and you allow it to benfefit for all other goods of weekly shows, the build up, the fomo, the theories. Netflix put aboslute bangers throught the years. Shows that would trive on HBO or AMC, but got canceled on Season 1 or 2 simply because the binge watching model doesn't work for every single story. I would say for mostly of the TV shows it doesn't, but people are on FOMO and thats why a lot of them do it.
I also think the aging is actually a good thing to one piece show. It is strange that they crossed so many islands a did so many things and it all happened in a couple of months. And watch the cast getting older with their characters would actually be cool. Would be a reverse Percy Jackson. Because series like HP and PJ&O showed kids growing up to be adults. But One Piece can show young adults growing to their prime maturity. Also, imagine see ppl like Miwhalk and Shanks older and still being bad ass. In thing would be cool AF. I don't know if one piece will thrive, but i belive if they get Drum Island and Alabasta right, they will hook up the fans same way the anime did and i belive Netflix is actually thinking on the long run. They know one piece has the potential to keep growing because the anime is out there for 25 years and still getting new fans, and i think they want to capture that fanbase, just the same with Avatar. One Piece, Avatar, Wednesday and Bridgerton are probably the next top shows on netflix priority right now. I'm really afraid about Skypea. But Water 7-Ennies Lobby, Thiller Bark-Sabaody e Impel Down-Marineford are all bangers. I really belive if we past Skypea, the show will grow in a momentum that only stops on Marineford War.

Joe Manganienello is actually a pretty big actor. He was in True Blood, for one. I've never seen it but i have friends who do. He's a big guy and would look great as Crocodile.
I knew they'd bring in Bartolomeo. We didn't see originally that Dragon was in the crowd when Gold Roger was executed - not the first time we were shown the execution. Later on they showed us that scene again reanimated and showed us that Dragon was there in the crowd. We saw Dragon briefly in the opening scene of the live action series - that is we saw someone in a green cloak and hood standing near where the rest of the marines were standing.
I knew that would be a good precedent to show us Bartolomeo in loguetown the first time we went there
You’re right. The batch release of the full season can be detrimental. Netflix should do it the way they release their realities or shows from other nations. Release 3-4 and then 1 or 2 for the rest of the season.
I’ve been describing Sabaody as an Infinity War level event…it gets real and you want to look away but you can’t. Ig another comparison is Red Wedding (if u wanna use GOT) but that seems a bit extreme…maybe we describe Marinefold as RW
I was expecting a fatherly Cobra but they gave the girlies and the gays another daddy. it's a win.
I really thought they'd bump it up to like 10 episodes cut out whiskey peak and do alabasta this season and I was on board for that plan. My only real concern is that they need to keep moving so there's not a billion seasons. But if oda and matt think this is the way then let's for it!
We need whiskey peak I don’t know why people thought it was gonna get removed.
Whiskey peak is where the buildup for alabasta kicks off. Us animanga fans have the luxury of knowing everything. However the exclusive live action fans don't know anything about all these stuff. Gotta get them on board with the adventure too. They need it more than us. And if Netflix wants OP to be one of their main money maker they will have to trust matt and oda
Yeah I’m all for whatever they do but the actors are gonna age out of it eventually lol
@@youngrootv do people actually think they’re adapting the entire manga? That’s not happening
@@jamesadvincola9687 never said they are or that they should but it’ll be cool to see how far they do get
Honestly, I really think Alabasta should've been part of this season, because now you've got this entire season of conflict building up that's now gonna stat unresolved until the start of the following season and end on a side plot instead. IMO they should've extended the number of episodes in the season, or if that was truly impossible, cut Drum Island out of this saga, but make it the start of season 3. Because as much as I love Chopper, he can be lifted out of the Alabasta saga without too much difficulty because of how isolated his arc is from the rest of that Saga. Hell, I'd say it might even fit better as the start of Skypeia since Drum Island being destroyed and Wapol fleeing it is tied to Blackbeard. All you'd really have to do is have Usopp either fight Mr. 4 and Ms Merry Christmas on his own or pair him with a side character to take them on, like Karoo. Outside of that one fight, Chopper doesn't contribute too much to Alabasta as a whole that can't be rewritten to accommodate that change fairly easily.
I’m just glad they’re giving things the time to develop properly. Though what I worry about in particular is if best boy Karoo will be in the series.
Netflix has started spliting their seasons in half. Half comes out and then a month or two the 2nd half drops. 8 episodes for their 1st season did hurt somewhat cause parts got rushed.
its sad that higher ups in any work like this have words that are heavy and could make the show suck. but we all know that the internet can bully them, can even shift the stocks or money and their lives to an UNHEALTHY AND DANGEROUS territory, just like the ugly sonic. SO i will just trust the internet and the passionate people working in this live action to pull through and make sure it gets the love it deserves.
He is right about the walking dead cus there are some bad episodes i remember watching one involving a goat and morgan and it lasted 90 mins
I think they could do Karu pretty well with puppet work and a small amount of cgi for say his feet and so it’s not too expensive just have him wait on the ship the whole time. I like Karu
Koby and Garp aren’t confirmed to be coming back. they most likely are; but nothing has been said.
If he's Ace I will be so unhappy because so far the casting did so good with casting people that are fresh to me. I want to keep One Piece as a world that feels unique to me and as a massive Cobra Kai fan, casting him as Ace wouldn't work for me. He has a better look than the other guy that is rumored to be Ace but he is Miguel and I don't think I can disconnect that in my mind. Also my theory is they will tease Ace at some point without showing him and we will get the reveal for s3.
What if they did an Ace story as a throughline side story the way they did for Colby and Garp in season one? Ace traipsing around the Grand Line then the season ends with them meeting up on Alabasta. That’s be fun and a good way to previews some future parts of the grand line, also setting up Whitebeard and Blackbeard.
Doubt they have the time for it, but if you told me they would have so much of Colbymeppo in season one and got through Arlong Park I’d have said that’s impossible too.
ace japanese vc confirmed he will be working on season 2
The Ace casting would be really good just based on appearance
definitely the right decision!
This dude is sharp asf
I want WIT to cover Haki now that we can see it through Luffy when he attained Haki. I want WIT to do Sanji/Zeffs Manga accurate backstory.
Did Oda ever confirm if during the Zoro Vs Mihawk Baratie fight, whether Mihawk used armament haki with his necklace knife to beat Zoro ?
@@nizzanator I tried to look if he confirmed it on an SBS, I don't believe he did. But at the time I do think Zoro was outmatched regardless. It would be interesting if he did though.
Bro the Cobra Kai guy NEEDS to play ACE
Chopper looks so good they keep having cast members complimenting him.
I always said there was absolutely zero way they could both stay faithful to the manga, keep the season's episode count reasonable AND end season 2 with Alabasta, and I'm VERY glad to see Mr. Owen push for faithfulness over pleasing suits by rushing to the "big payoffs". Reminder that the last time someone tried to rush through One Piece, 4Kids REPLACED LABOON WITH A LITERAL ICEBERG. Do not do it.
The execs enjoy their quick paydays, and I won't spoil Miss Wednesday for you.
if we ever do get to marineford and summit war seasons, they will definitely be released in parts. when a series at netflix becomes established, and they have a few seasons out, they start releasing it in parts.
Water7/Enies Lobby as well
This guy should play a shark
They are definitely not skipping Long Ring Long Land because its one of Matt Owen's favorite arcs.
They could go with the Arcane model where a season comes in 3 batches
I wonder if they'll use practical effects for brain point chopper. It could be a lot cheaper that way and still look good. Jurrasic Park still looks good (I know animatronics aren't cheap, but the idea that it's mostly practical effects is my point). Yoda from the first three movies is still pretty good. I think it's possible. They could even do a split between practical and CGI to make it look better.
Joe Manganiello would be awesome, plus he's a fellow nerd so I am sure he would do the role justice.
I'm love with Vivi, very charismatic
no you got it wrong. for a show like this you WANT to maximise casting.
casting early, making actors sign the contracts, locks them into that contract. if you wait, you may lose on that actor as they can sign onto other things. but for example, if they contact Joe and say “we want you for a huge role in season 3 and a small role in season 2; be available X date for the filming of season three” then they have the actor ready.
you don’t pay the actor when they get casted and sign these contracts, they’re paid after work is done. they’re paid per episode, not per contract.
if they don’t contact Joe now and lock him into a contract and a schedule, he may actually get another role somewhere else like you’re trying to say. you got it backwards.
casting isn’t expensive, at least not for signing multi year long seasonal deals with companies. when actors sign multi year contracts, they don’t get paid for every thing they will do in that time. they get paid as they do it. it just locks them in for that availability.
so since Crocodile WILL be in season 2 (to establish him as a villain in season 3, and the fact he already appears in little garden) this will happen.
they should have a slight tweak to the live action story. Simply by allowing the characters to age accordingly. stretch out the timeframes a bit in the story so it lines up well. That would allow for them to finish the show without it being wierd how luffy is all of a sudden a 28 year old.
Pretty sure they'll just say they sailed for longer periods (as in it might've been a week in the manga/anime, but here they sailed for a month between islands etc) - seems like the simplest way to neatly cover up production times.
well we had Appa done right, i think chopper gonna look like similar to that more or less
identical cadence to asmongold, significantly cleaner than him so you get a like
At least he’s cleaner lol.
significantly cleaner LMAOOOO
The doflamingo speech in live action would prob break the internet
What I would do given the new production schedule or my 7 season layout
Season 1 (already done) - Romance Dawn to Arlong Park
Season 2 Loguetown to Drum Kingdom
Season 3 Just Alabasta (maybe Jaya too idk)
Season 4 Skypeia
Season 5 Water 7 and Eneis Lobby
Season 6 Thriller Bark and end with Sabaody
Season 7 Impel Down and Marineford (wrapping everything up pre time skip) (maybe have an episode or two with adventures of the Strawhats)
No way in hell should they cram water 7 and Enies lobby into One Season. Its way too important to cram into one season.
@@nizzanator I’m thinking if they maybe get an extended episode count of 10…five and five? But yea…ur right
@@danblack556 Yeah maybe. Its just even post Enies Lobby stuff has so many important moments too. Going Merry, Garp revisited, Yonko reveal, New world reveal, the sunny reveal, Franky joining the crew.
We'll keep supporting if Matt keeps holding up his end of the bargain, if they fire Matt WE RISE!
I want little Chopper to be a muppet SO badly.
Joe Manganiello would be a better Dragon or Smoker, but I’d be happy with seeing him. He’s talented eye candy.
yeah if they just get inspiration on number 1 of umbrella academy. they can easily bring heavy point chopper to life
I think for sure it will get to S3 with S3 only being Alabasta. If they go after that it will get to S5 with Jaya Skypea being s4 and long ring, water 7 enniess lobby s5.
Smashing 5arcs into 8 episodes of around 45-60min each ... I got that bad feeling that a lot of important things will be scratched, a lot of funny events ignored, the mash-up of events/stories of caracters and most importantly, in this Netflix version , will the goal quest of one piece be The One Piece itself and all that the story/intrigues that it involves ... ??!
For some reason I think Chopper will be green screened/cgi like Smeagol. The actor your showing from The Umbrella Academy is cut! He would only need the fur in heavy point tbh. The skinny guy w/dark hair you showed was not him. I hope he is an efx guy.
I HATE weekly episodes. I don't end up watching, I forget about it. I prefer binge watching and then going back and rewatching favourite parts or episodes.
I think this is the right call if we finished Alabasta in one season this show was not getting more then 3 serason there is no way Skypeia is strong enough to hold a season alone.
I think ace could be cast already, cause he does appear in the drum kingdom, they mention its the one day it didn't snow, a hint towards aces devil fruit, for non anime/manga a person looking luffy could make themthink oo shit hes a bounty hunter looking luffy, to have the shock off, hes really looking for his younger brother, the season willbend on drum kingdom, why not end it with ace reveal, they did it season 1 with smoker
