i have high hopes for One Piece. I watched the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie last night and couldn't believe how similar it was to the first season of One Piece.Matches Malone wrote: ↑Mon Feb 10, 2020 3:05 pmI know it won't, it'll probably be One Piece in name only, but like with everything, there's always that 1% chance of a miracle happening so we might get lucky.

Re: Thoughts on a potential Netflix series.
I always despised the Pirates movies, mostly because I never found Depp's "crazy guy" shtick all that funny, for me it rarely ever works(Charlie remake and Mortedecai are the only films where I found that type of "crazy" performance from him tolerable, otherwise I much prefer his more toned down roles in films like Nick of Time and The Tourist)Peach wrote: ↑Mon Feb 10, 2020 9:21 pmi have high hopes for One Piece.

Guess that's another reason why I never got into One Piece-because of it's similarities to a franchise I truly despise.

Or, you know, Breaking Bad. Banditos, griff lawmen, pistol duels, train robberies, Indian reservations, a clearly Western soundtrack, lots of abandoned desert areas for showdowns, the cocky young gun being brutally exposed to reality, themes of losing your humanity and of authority vs anarchy, etc.

Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.

Maybe later westerns. Earlier westerns tended to be much more simple in their ethos.RandomGuy96 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 14, 2020 11:41 pmOr, you know, Breaking Bad.

The biggest truths aren't original. The truth is ketchup. It's Jim Belushi. Its job isn't to blow our minds. It's to be within reach.

These themes have been key parts of many westerns at least since westerns have been in color.ABED wrote: ↑Sat Feb 15, 2020 9:31 amMaybe later westerns.
