'One Piece' Live Action Review

1
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:09,080
Hey, I'm Derek.
And I'm Noah, and you're

2
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:12,120
listening to A Bite of where we
take our current favorite pop

3
00:00:12,120 --> 00:00:13,640
culture obsession.
And you know what?

4
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:19,320
We enjoy it 1 nibble at a time.
One nibble, 1 nibble at a time.

5
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:22,720
You gotta get the time, the
wristwatch.

6
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,320
That's too much.
Look at this.

7
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:29,460
That's nice so.
So today, that was very

8
00:00:29,460 --> 00:00:32,860
distracting.
Today we're talking about one

9
00:00:32,860 --> 00:00:34,340
Piece.
Have you heard of action?

10
00:00:34,340 --> 00:00:37,700
Yeah, Have you #1 on Netflix for
the last two weeks globally?

11
00:00:37,780 --> 00:00:42,140
Since like August 31st, Hello.
Taking over the world again,

12
00:00:42,140 --> 00:00:43,620
it's taken over the world and
manga.

13
00:00:43,620 --> 00:00:46,980
It's taken over the world and
anime and now live action.

14
00:00:47,220 --> 00:00:49,260
We have tons to talk about with
this.

15
00:00:49,300 --> 00:00:52,740
I mean, is the curse lifted?
Was there even a curse in the

16
00:00:52,740 --> 00:00:55,980
1st place?
Also, the cast, there's just so

17
00:00:55,980 --> 00:00:58,250
much.
They're just little cherubs.

18
00:00:58,370 --> 00:01:00,610
They're a little tiny cherub.
I just love them so much.

19
00:01:00,610 --> 00:01:04,730
I watch all of the content and
they're just so delightful.

20
00:01:04,730 --> 00:01:07,810
We have tons that I There's
specific ones that I want to

21
00:01:07,810 --> 00:01:10,570
make sure people watch.
We have to call those out, We'll

22
00:01:10,570 --> 00:01:15,170
call those out.
We have some stuff brewing in

23
00:01:15,170 --> 00:01:17,250
the background.
You know, there's tons of

24
00:01:17,250 --> 00:01:22,090
content coming out now, but with
content you need content

25
00:01:22,090 --> 00:01:26,440
creators, actors.
Writers, you know, people that

26
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,800
should get paid fairly for the
things that we consume

27
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,320
constantly, all the time.
They're not doing that.

28
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:34,840
Tell them about the greedy
ghouls.

29
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:40,120
The greedy ghouls is still still
to this day have not decided to

30
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:44,640
go back to the table with SAG
Writers Guild to give them fair

31
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,600
pay.
Yeah, it's insane.

32
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,160
I just, I I every day I keep
saying something like the Warner

33
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,470
Brothers executive.
Is like we hope to get these

34
00:01:53,470 --> 00:01:55,550
strikes resolved fast.
It's like you could have done

35
00:01:55,550 --> 00:01:57,350
that day one.
And they, they keep saying

36
00:01:57,350 --> 00:01:59,990
things like, well, because of
the strike we're going to lose

37
00:01:59,990 --> 00:02:03,630
300 to $500 million and it's
like, well, the group is only

38
00:02:03,630 --> 00:02:07,430
asking for $47 million.
So what are you doing here?

39
00:02:07,470 --> 00:02:11,310
Literally zero point, like
eighteen 0.9%.

40
00:02:11,310 --> 00:02:13,030
Yeah, it's greed.
It's all just greed.

41
00:02:13,030 --> 00:02:16,470
It's insane, so.

62

talking about all eight episodes
of the Netflix series, and this

63
00:03:25,700 --> 00:03:28,780
is going to spoil the anime and
the manga for you as well.

64
00:03:28,780 --> 00:03:30,540
So.
Gum gum spoilers.

65
00:03:31,420 --> 00:03:33,940
This is the devil's Fruit of
Fruit of Spoilers.

66
00:03:34,100 --> 00:03:38,540
OK, you've been warned.
I would say just for like the

67
00:03:38,540 --> 00:03:41,080
show.
I wouldn't say for the entire

68
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,200
series, So just just to forewarn
people.

69
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,520
Oh sure, yeah, yeah, yeah,
absolutely.

70
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:51,600
Yes, this these chapters.
Anyway, let us officially take a

71
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:57,000
bite of One Piece live action.
Yeah.

72
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:01,360
So just to set up a little bit
about this world.

73
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:08,360
So One Piece as a property has
been in existence since July

74
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,080
22nd, 1997.
You.

75
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,920
Put the exact date the
anniversary.

76
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,399
It was just the anniversary and
it's still going.

77
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,160
So it was.
It's created by a man named

78
00:04:22,280 --> 00:04:26,880
Eichido ODA who has been part of
the manga industry since he's 17

79
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,150
years old.
He won a contest which got the

80
00:04:30,150 --> 00:04:34,630
eye of shown in Jump, which is
the hugest shown in manga

81
00:04:34,630 --> 00:04:40,230
magazine in Japan, and at 17 he
was an apprentice to three major

82
00:04:40,230 --> 00:04:43,230
manga cus manga creators.
And then I think something like

83
00:04:43,230 --> 00:04:46,470
two years later, at 19, he was
hired to write one.

84
00:04:46,870 --> 00:04:47,830
It's insane.
Yeah.

85
00:04:47,830 --> 00:04:49,790
So I mean, obviously the man is
a genius.

86
00:04:50,130 --> 00:04:53,690
Before he was like a full adult.
He was a little teenager.

87
00:04:53,770 --> 00:04:55,690
It's like, what?
What was I doing at 17 years

88
00:04:55,690 --> 00:04:56,730
old?
I can't even remember.

89
00:04:56,730 --> 00:04:59,450
I mean not impressive.
And Naki, the guy that plays

90
00:04:59,650 --> 00:05:03,650
Luffy 1919?
Oh, it's Kismet, is that right?

91
00:05:03,810 --> 00:05:08,170
Yes, and it absolutely is.
And so literally, I mean, just

92
00:05:08,170 --> 00:05:12,290
to give you some stats,
currently there are 103 volumes

93
00:05:12,290 --> 00:05:17,090
of the manga.
There are 1091 chapters of the

94
00:05:17,090 --> 00:05:18,130
manga.
The.

95
00:05:19,610 --> 00:05:21,050
That's just the manga.
That's just the manga.

96
00:05:21,050 --> 00:05:23,410
The anime has been running for
20 seasons.

97
00:05:23,410 --> 00:05:26,810
It started in 1999.
It is ongoing.

98
00:05:26,810 --> 00:05:32,850
It has currently 1075 episodes.
There are six OVA's, 14 TV

99
00:05:32,850 --> 00:05:36,210
specials and 15 movies.
It's.

100
00:05:36,330 --> 00:05:38,770
I mean, is it the longest
running thing?

101
00:05:39,650 --> 00:05:46,530
I think I saw that the anime
Doraemon has something like 1200

102
00:05:46,530 --> 00:05:48,010
episodes, but it's getting
there.

103
00:05:49,010 --> 00:05:51,530
Yeah, I've never even heard of
that anime to be honest.

104
00:05:51,610 --> 00:05:54,610
You've seen him though.
He's this really cute blue cat

105
00:05:54,610 --> 00:05:58,410
and he has a Red Nose.
Oh yeah, never seen an episode.

106
00:05:58,450 --> 00:06:00,810
Yeah, that's.
I definitely got the name wrong.

107
00:06:00,810 --> 00:06:04,210
But I I saw that stat in my
while I was doing my research.

108
00:06:04,610 --> 00:06:07,870
But The thing is, is that.
So I probably have seen it, but

109
00:06:07,910 --> 00:06:10,750
you just totally yeah.
But I definitely described him

110
00:06:10,750 --> 00:06:13,870
correctly.
But this has been around for

111
00:06:13,870 --> 00:06:16,790
literal decades.
It's been around for since a lot

112
00:06:16,790 --> 00:06:20,350
of us have been alive, like and
and especially in the formative

113
00:06:20,350 --> 00:06:24,630
years and everything I this
series as a whole, that one

114
00:06:24,630 --> 00:06:28,270
piece as an IP has always just
been there.

115
00:06:28,750 --> 00:06:32,190
Even if I think I had asked you
at some point, I was like, you

116
00:06:32,190 --> 00:06:34,310
know.
Even though, you know, haven't

117
00:06:34,310 --> 00:06:36,150
finished.
Obviously the anime, it's a big

118
00:06:36,190 --> 00:06:38,630
undertaking, but I feel like
it's worth it.

119
00:06:40,110 --> 00:06:42,790
Did you know about One Piece
even though you weren't watching

120
00:06:42,790 --> 00:06:44,670
or reading it and you're like,
yeah, I'm like, yeah, me too.

121
00:06:44,790 --> 00:06:48,630
I just like know about it and
I've never consumed any of it.

122
00:06:48,870 --> 00:06:52,070
So I feel like this is one of
those special Ip's where it's

123
00:06:52,070 --> 00:06:58,190
just always been in like the
zeitgeist of everything and now

124
00:06:58,190 --> 00:07:00,590
we're finally getting like every
type of media of it.

125
00:07:00,630 --> 00:07:02,510
So now it's just easy to
consume.

126
00:07:02,940 --> 00:07:05,140
Absolutely.
And I am totally kicking myself

127
00:07:05,140 --> 00:07:08,260
for not getting into this much
earlier in my life.

128
00:07:08,420 --> 00:07:11,460
Because when you hear those
stats, I mean over 1000

129
00:07:11,460 --> 00:07:14,680
episodes, you're like how?
How am I going to do?

130
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,800
This I do feel like those so
like these like shown in animes,

131
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,360
they if you've watched them
before, they're very much like

132
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:25,280
long form of storytelling.
And you know, I think a lot of

133
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,720
people have watched like Dragon
Ball Z and it's like a fight can

134
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,080
go on for like 10 episodes.
Yes.

135
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:34,040
And that's kind of how this is.
They did like what, 100

136
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:38,720
chapters, I would say maybe for
this one season of TV, but they

137
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,960
shrunk it down into eight
episodes and they still miss

138
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:43,400
stuff.
But.

139
00:07:43,860 --> 00:07:46,460
I feel like in live action they
kind of needed to do that.

140
00:07:46,460 --> 00:07:49,940
But anime, it can kind of be a
little more longer and it's

141
00:07:49,980 --> 00:07:53,260
yeah, I need to watch like 8
more weeks to finish this fight,

142
00:07:53,460 --> 00:07:55,980
right?
And I think for me as an anime

143
00:07:55,980 --> 00:07:58,860
viewer, the first anime that I
fell in love with was Sailor

144
00:07:58,860 --> 00:08:01,140
Moon Surprise.
And so Sailor Moon, I mean,

145
00:08:01,140 --> 00:08:04,700
their seasons had overarching
things that happen, but a fight

146
00:08:05,230 --> 00:08:08,070
literally happened in the last
in the second act of the show,

147
00:08:08,110 --> 00:08:10,670
right?
So they transform, they beat

148
00:08:10,670 --> 00:08:12,630
that villain they go on to the
next day.

149
00:08:12,830 --> 00:08:15,750
So that's what I was used to.
I was also used to a team in

150
00:08:15,750 --> 00:08:19,110
matching outfits, So something
with One Piece where they're all

151
00:08:19,110 --> 00:08:22,430
so distinctive from each other.
I think that my young anime

152
00:08:22,430 --> 00:08:25,430
brain couldn't wrap around that.
I'm like no, they transform and

153
00:08:25,430 --> 00:08:28,270
wear matching skirts.
Are they going to get uniforms?

154
00:08:28,270 --> 00:08:29,990
That's what.
That's what I'm saying.

155
00:08:30,230 --> 00:08:32,870
When they become part of the
crew, do they all wear hats?

156
00:08:33,110 --> 00:08:35,830
You know, that's what I was
waiting for, which wasn't the

157
00:08:35,830 --> 00:08:36,950
thing.
So I think it was hard for me to

158
00:08:36,950 --> 00:08:39,750
comprehend that.
And also my brother was a big

159
00:08:39,750 --> 00:08:42,270
fan of Dragon Ball Z and I would
try and watch with him, but I

160
00:08:42,270 --> 00:08:45,470
was like, how are they still
talking during this one fight?

161
00:08:45,510 --> 00:08:48,990
Yeah, I feel like Dragon Ball ZI
did watch a lot of Dragon Ball

162
00:08:48,990 --> 00:08:52,110
ZI wouldn't say that I was
necessarily a big fan of it.

163
00:08:52,310 --> 00:08:54,230
It was just a lot of my friends
really were.

164
00:08:54,230 --> 00:08:55,830
So it was something that we did
together.

165
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,920
And at the time, we could have
just been One Piece fans and you

166
00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:01,320
know, and then we would have
caught up, yeah.

167
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,360
Although if one of us would have
watched it already, then you

168
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,800
would have had to rewatch the
thousand episodes with the other

169
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,360
one.
I think I'm more likely to

170
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,680
rewatch something than you are.
So I think I'd hopefully I would

171
00:09:12,680 --> 00:09:13,840
have.
Well, there's just so much media

172
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:15,680
out there I can't spend time
rewatching.

173
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,160
But I will say that I was
pleasantly surprised that you

174
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,720
and I just kind of naturally
finished this one particular arc

175
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:24,760
in one piece and it just so
happened.

176
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:26,640
That's what this whole live
action.

177
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:31,760
Is about yeah, the US like
watching it ended at the perfect

178
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,880
time before we continue again.
And one of the greatest things

179
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:40,040
is that today us recording this,
they just announced that the

180
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,520
second season is renewed, which
I got to say just to like

181
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,640
lightly touch on the
conversation of like live action

182
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,360
anime.
We know it's been an issue.

183
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,960
They've tried it many times.
It has not succeeded.

184
00:09:53,340 --> 00:09:55,700
Even some people did like the
Cowboy Bebop.

185
00:09:55,700 --> 00:09:58,900
Personally, I didn't like it
just because it didn't feel like

186
00:09:58,900 --> 00:10:02,980
the show.
This one, it really it had that

187
00:10:02,980 --> 00:10:06,580
something special.
And I'm curious if you think

188
00:10:06,820 --> 00:10:08,060
I'll put this question out
there.

189
00:10:08,740 --> 00:10:12,860
Do you think it was just the
right property to do it as

190
00:10:12,860 --> 00:10:14,700
opposed to some of the other
ones Like we've gotten Death

191
00:10:14,700 --> 00:10:18,780
Note, Not great, we got Cowboy
Bebop, and those are just really

192
00:10:18,780 --> 00:10:21,500
the Netflix ones.
But do you think that this

193
00:10:21,500 --> 00:10:25,620
property itself and what it is,
was the correct one to do?

194
00:10:25,900 --> 00:10:28,500
I think that it's a couple of
different factors.

195
00:10:28,500 --> 00:10:31,820
I do think that, yes.
So when you hear about this

196
00:10:31,820 --> 00:10:34,420
show, right, if someone gives
you a one line description about

197
00:10:34,420 --> 00:10:37,740
it, it's like a young kid,
Monkey D Loofy wants to become

198
00:10:37,740 --> 00:10:40,460
the king of the pirates and find
the hidden treasure, the one

199
00:10:40,460 --> 00:10:43,740
Piece.
It's like pirates a kid, But the

200
00:10:43,860 --> 00:10:46,860
overarching themes of
friendship, of love, of loyalty,

201
00:10:47,100 --> 00:10:51,740
that's dreams, dreams, costumes.
That's so it draws you into it.

202
00:10:51,980 --> 00:10:53,780
Those very human emotions,
right?

203
00:10:53,940 --> 00:10:57,300
I do think in that sense, yes,
it was the right thing to do.

204
00:10:58,220 --> 00:11:02,180
There is an interview with
Odasan where he says it felt

205
00:11:02,180 --> 00:11:04,660
like the right time because
visual effects have just gotten

206
00:11:04,660 --> 00:11:06,420
so much better.
That's true.

207
00:11:06,420 --> 00:11:09,990
This is a huge world with so
many different types of

208
00:11:09,990 --> 00:11:13,790
creatures that if we were doing
this in, I would even say early

209
00:11:13,790 --> 00:11:16,910
2000s, it would look horrendous.
Unless they did literally

210
00:11:17,070 --> 00:11:20,710
everything practical exactly the
budget would have, right

211
00:11:20,710 --> 00:11:23,430
building giant sea monster
publics and things like that.

212
00:11:23,430 --> 00:11:26,230
So I think that there are a
couple of different things here

213
00:11:26,230 --> 00:11:30,430
that came together because when
I think of sort of this, a

214
00:11:30,750 --> 00:11:33,070
Western version of an anime, the
thing that always comes to me is

215
00:11:33,070 --> 00:11:36,350
the Dragon Ball thing that came
out that was.

216
00:11:36,430 --> 00:11:38,190
Dragon Ball Evolution, Yeah, I
don't.

217
00:11:39,100 --> 00:11:42,460
I think that is the most
embarrassing thing to like.

218
00:11:42,940 --> 00:11:47,300
I mean, I would rather watch
Death Note or Cowboy Bebop way

219
00:11:47,300 --> 00:11:49,100
more than I'd watch that one.
That one.

220
00:11:49,100 --> 00:11:51,580
They just wanted to put a movie
out and they were like Dragon

221
00:11:51,580 --> 00:11:54,540
Ball Z is popular, right?
Let's just completely butcher it

222
00:11:54,540 --> 00:11:58,620
and just not even talk to the
people that me 100 and I I think

223
00:11:58,620 --> 00:12:02,340
that there's also that thing of,
well, we wanted to be Dragon

224
00:12:02,340 --> 00:12:05,260
Ball, but we also wanted to be
like cool an American, an

225
00:12:05,260 --> 00:12:08,320
American.
It's like, so there's might

226
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,080
still have fun hair, but not
really.

227
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,240
And they're going to dress in
like black leather and it's

228
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:16,400
like, whereas here in One piece
they are very loyal to the

229
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,400
designs that my son created,
right?

230
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,360
And that's what brings these
characters to life.

231
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:24,440
Yeah, yeah.
This show had a lot going for I

232
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:28,080
I actually was afforded the
opportunity to meet the cast and

233
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,960
some of the people that worked
on the show way before the

234
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:35,200
trailer dropped or anything,
thanks to Ron at POC Culture.

235
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,940
So go follow them Twitter.
They're fantastic.

236
00:12:37,940 --> 00:12:39,860
Check out their website.
They do tons of interviews and

237
00:12:39,860 --> 00:12:43,900
everything, but just to lightly
I wrote an article for them of

238
00:12:43,900 --> 00:12:48,020
my experience meeting them and
just how excited I was.

239
00:12:48,100 --> 00:12:51,700
Even just the the tiny nugget
that I knew of the show.

240
00:12:51,740 --> 00:12:54,060
I was like OK I got these
characters, I know what these

241
00:12:54,060 --> 00:12:57,300
characters are supposed to be
and I know what the show should

242
00:12:57,300 --> 00:13:01,540
try to do.
The second that this cast came

243
00:13:01,540 --> 00:13:04,150
into the room.
Me and the other people that

244
00:13:04,150 --> 00:13:06,990
were there to like meet them and
interview them and talk to them,

245
00:13:06,990 --> 00:13:10,590
we all went, Oh no, this is
them.

246
00:13:10,590 --> 00:13:15,310
Like how do these people exist
as these actual characters?

247
00:13:15,750 --> 00:13:21,270
And I think that was the golden
ticket that this show needed to

248
00:13:21,270 --> 00:13:23,910
really sell everybody.
Because if you had all the

249
00:13:23,910 --> 00:13:27,430
actors that are 100% those
characters not even just look

250
00:13:27,430 --> 00:13:29,790
like them, but are literally
them.

251
00:13:30,380 --> 00:13:33,420
And sold it.
They had to be 100% invested in

252
00:13:33,420 --> 00:13:35,500
this.
And I think they were.

253
00:13:35,660 --> 00:13:38,260
And you all could, you could
feel it, you could feel it

254
00:13:38,260 --> 00:13:41,660
through that show.
My favorite thing is if you just

255
00:13:42,020 --> 00:13:45,300
Googled the cast doing like all
those Pressy things.

256
00:13:45,660 --> 00:13:51,460
But my favorite one is when in
Naki, who plays Luffy, Met ODA,

257
00:13:51,460 --> 00:13:54,500
the creator of the show.
It's just it's one of those

258
00:13:54,500 --> 00:13:57,340
things where it's like, yes he
is Luffy, but he's still a kid

259
00:13:57,620 --> 00:14:00,560
and he loves it.
And the fact that the creator of

260
00:14:00,560 --> 00:14:04,920
the show was so heavily involved
in this and thinks he's Luffy,

261
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,200
it's just like, so heartwarming.
Yeah.

262
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,560
And that's what the series is.
It's like it it literally brings

263
00:14:10,560 --> 00:14:13,480
a tear to your eye.
And if you think about Inyaki,

264
00:14:13,680 --> 00:14:18,760
right, and then his parallel to
Monkey de Luffy, they are both

265
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:23,120
these young people who are
setting out to achieve their

266
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,840
dreams, who are meeting a crew
of people that are helping them,

267
00:14:27,470 --> 00:14:29,430
helping them bring that to
fruition.

268
00:14:29,630 --> 00:14:33,590
It's the same story.
So in Yaki does such a good job

269
00:14:34,030 --> 00:14:39,230
of Luffy's, you know, story
because he's literally living

270
00:14:39,230 --> 00:14:40,070
it, right?
Right.

271
00:14:40,190 --> 00:14:43,150
You know, and I think as a
whole, you know, these the, the

272
00:14:43,150 --> 00:14:46,510
five members of the Straw Hat
crew, they're so charismatic on

273
00:14:46,510 --> 00:14:49,470
their own, but when they get
together, there's chemistry

274
00:14:49,470 --> 00:14:50,750
there.
You have to have that though,

275
00:14:50,750 --> 00:14:52,870
right?
And and in the series you get

276
00:14:52,870 --> 00:14:55,670
more crew members that come in
and just add to the thing.

277
00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:00,000
The core, like 5, the, the core
main members are really what

278
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:04,720
like cements the series into
where it goes and you have to

279
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,080
love those characters and you.
And same thing with the live

280
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:08,920
action.
If, you know, I think what was

281
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:10,880
it ODA was like?
They were like, oh, you know,

282
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,200
maybe we'll plan doing like six
seasons, but we want to do 12.

283
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,840
And it's like, if that's the
case, these characters are in it

284
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,240
the whole time.
So, like, you have to have these

285
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,360
people that are really dedicated
but like, love the role.

286
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,920
Yeah, and you can feel that
through the whole thing.

287
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:31,560
And you know, Emily Rudd, who
plays Nami, was a One Piece fan

288
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,360
before she any of this even came
up.

289
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,640
If you watch any of the press
drinking thing when I met her.

290
00:15:39,100 --> 00:15:40,940
Not saying that any of them
weren't fans.

291
00:15:40,940 --> 00:15:42,740
They all were clearly fans of
the show.

292
00:15:42,740 --> 00:15:46,300
She her knowledge, just like the
things that she would just say

293
00:15:46,580 --> 00:15:49,220
on the flip of a dime or like,
you know, saying the names of

294
00:15:49,220 --> 00:15:52,060
the ships.
I'm just like, you love this.

295
00:15:52,100 --> 00:15:53,380
Yes.
So good.

296
00:15:53,380 --> 00:15:57,580
We watched a thing that they
were doing one of those like it

297
00:15:57,580 --> 00:15:59,980
was like kind of like answer one
piece trivia things.

298
00:16:00,300 --> 00:16:03,140
She knew everything.
Like, immediately you could

299
00:16:03,140 --> 00:16:06,290
tell, like sometimes she was
just like holding off just to

300
00:16:06,290 --> 00:16:10,410
let other people answer.
But that passion shows through,

301
00:16:10,410 --> 00:16:12,890
and that comes through a NAMI.
And I think there's something to

302
00:16:12,890 --> 00:16:16,330
be said about, you know, at this
point in time being the only

303
00:16:16,330 --> 00:16:20,010
female member of the crew, you
know, and Nami really does have

304
00:16:20,010 --> 00:16:23,290
such depth to the character, and
Emily did such a good job

305
00:16:23,290 --> 00:16:24,890
bringing that to life.
So good.

306
00:16:25,290 --> 00:16:29,650
So as far as the show itself is
concerned, did you think that

307
00:16:29,650 --> 00:16:31,850
the the eight episode, it was
eight, yeah.

308
00:16:32,550 --> 00:16:34,110
I always get confused.
It's like is it 6?

309
00:16:34,110 --> 00:16:35,150
Is it 9?
Is it 10?

310
00:16:35,150 --> 00:16:35,750
Is it eight?
Yeah.

311
00:16:35,750 --> 00:16:37,510
Which streaming service are we
on?

312
00:16:37,510 --> 00:16:37,990
And.
Yeah.

313
00:16:38,510 --> 00:16:42,030
So do you think that the eight
episodes did a good job of like,

314
00:16:42,030 --> 00:16:44,550
being like, this is what the
show is?

315
00:16:44,870 --> 00:16:49,070
Do you want more?
I think at 100% did a good job.

316
00:16:49,590 --> 00:16:51,870
This.
I can't explain it.

317
00:16:51,870 --> 00:16:54,630
I caught myself in a moment.
I, like, stepped out of myself

318
00:16:54,630 --> 00:16:57,350
while we were watching it.
And I was sitting in the chair

319
00:16:57,350 --> 00:17:01,250
in our living room and I was
holding a mug of tea, and I

320
00:17:01,250 --> 00:17:03,730
realized that I was smiling.
I was just like.

321
00:17:04,410 --> 00:17:08,849
Yeah, because I just felt so
joyous watching it.

322
00:17:08,849 --> 00:17:13,290
So the energy that the anime
brings is totally represented in

323
00:17:13,290 --> 00:17:17,010
this live action version and I
think that they did a really

324
00:17:17,010 --> 00:17:19,280
good job.
Personally, I think this that.

325
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,839
Granted, I'm a new fan to this.
I have not, you know, been

326
00:17:22,839 --> 00:17:25,920
around this for decades, but
from what I've seen of the anime

327
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,560
and what I've seen now of the
live action, I think they did a

328
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:33,220
good job of finding ways to take
some of those eight episodes

329
00:17:33,220 --> 00:17:36,020
fights and maybe bringing it
down to two episodes, right?

330
00:17:36,220 --> 00:17:38,580
I think you got to really know
the characters, you got to know

331
00:17:38,580 --> 00:17:40,820
all their back stories, you got
to fall in love with them.

332
00:17:40,980 --> 00:17:43,740
But we're still setting off
further into the adventure.

333
00:17:43,940 --> 00:17:48,220
The benefit that they have with
this cuz I think they did a good

334
00:17:48,220 --> 00:17:51,550
job of like.
To getting an end like and then

335
00:17:51,550 --> 00:17:54,790
setting it up being like, do you
do you want a second season?

336
00:17:54,790 --> 00:17:56,630
You want a second season?
You know you do.

337
00:17:56,910 --> 00:17:58,950
And I love it when shows do
that, but it's also more

338
00:17:58,950 --> 00:18:01,270
devastating when they don't get
the second season.

339
00:18:01,390 --> 00:18:02,910
I would have been devastated,
right?

340
00:18:03,510 --> 00:18:07,110
But I think they did do a good
job and they have the benefit of

341
00:18:07,430 --> 00:18:10,740
having.
Thousands of episodes, hundreds

342
00:18:10,740 --> 00:18:14,420
of chapters of the manga to be
like, OK, so if we're going to

343
00:18:14,420 --> 00:18:18,140
do this in live action format,
who are we cutting or who are we

344
00:18:18,140 --> 00:18:21,820
introducing earlier, but then
kind of shifting things around,

345
00:18:21,820 --> 00:18:26,060
Yeah, I think that the beginning
is so important to really hook

346
00:18:26,060 --> 00:18:28,900
people to this.
I thought they did a really good

347
00:18:28,900 --> 00:18:31,430
job.
I mean, I I am going to say I

348
00:18:31,430 --> 00:18:34,070
did miss Django the hypnotist
guy.

349
00:18:34,070 --> 00:18:38,830
Oh yeah, during the whole, like,
crudo, I think those 3 little

350
00:18:38,830 --> 00:18:43,230
kids that were usops, little
pirates, that they were so cute.

351
00:18:43,230 --> 00:18:45,230
Yeah, it was like carrot, onion
and something.

352
00:18:45,230 --> 00:18:46,350
I don't know.
I feel like vegetables.

353
00:18:46,470 --> 00:18:50,630
That that whole town with them
were USOP story where they meet

354
00:18:50,670 --> 00:18:52,630
USOP.
I feel like that was the one

355
00:18:52,630 --> 00:18:55,990
that was cut down the most and
really changed the most, right?

356
00:18:56,110 --> 00:19:00,120
Because that whole fight takes
place on the shoreline.

357
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:04,760
That I will say that fight also
was a lot more scary in the

358
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:06,920
anime than it was in the live
action.

359
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,840
I they did a good job with this
like 1000 times worse Freddy

360
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:16,920
Krueger looking guy do it.
But I you know, Speaking of

361
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:20,960
their like backstories, it's
such a smart way to introduce

362
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,840
the characters and also for you
to.

363
00:19:24,890 --> 00:19:27,730
Feel something for them or
relate to them in some way or

364
00:19:27,730 --> 00:19:29,490
want to make sure that they
succeed.

365
00:19:30,010 --> 00:19:33,050
And getting USOP Story the way
we got it, even though it was

366
00:19:33,050 --> 00:19:36,810
cut down, still got the same
exact effect that you got in the

367
00:19:36,810 --> 00:19:39,130
anime.
Same thing with Zorro and Nami.

368
00:19:39,370 --> 00:19:41,490
But I just also love seeing them
as little kids.

369
00:19:42,090 --> 00:19:44,990
It's such a like.
You feel like you know them more

370
00:19:44,990 --> 00:19:46,870
than you actually do when they
do that.

371
00:19:46,910 --> 00:19:49,190
Yeah.
And they did such a good job of

372
00:19:49,310 --> 00:19:52,550
casting the little kid versions
of them.

373
00:19:52,710 --> 00:19:56,590
I I always think of the original
it, the TV movie.

374
00:19:56,910 --> 00:20:01,230
I felt like that was such a good
casting of the young cast and

375
00:20:01,230 --> 00:20:04,870
the old cast And you can, when
they do it so well, you're like,

376
00:20:04,870 --> 00:20:06,670
yes.
And I mean, the kid who plays

377
00:20:06,710 --> 00:20:09,440
Little Loofy was just.
He was stellar.

378
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:13,440
Oh, I out of all of the the
younger cast, he knocked it out

379
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,000
of the park.
He did get more scenes than the

380
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,800
rest of them, but so good.
I mean crying on cue.

381
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,400
Crying on cue.
He's a little star.

382
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,520
Stabbing his face?
Not OK.

383
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,280
A lot of stabbing.
A lot of people stabbing

384
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,920
themselves.
People stabbing other people.

385
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,440
Tired life.
I didn't like how they didn't

386
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,620
shy away from that though.
Because it is in a not.

387
00:20:36,620 --> 00:20:39,420
I wouldn't say explicit, but
it's like these people have

388
00:20:39,700 --> 00:20:44,700
cannons and powers and swords.
Like you have to show the blood

389
00:20:45,020 --> 00:20:47,940
a little bit because then I it's
going to disconnect almost.

390
00:20:48,380 --> 00:20:53,780
But the balance of like how
wacky this thing is, but also

391
00:20:53,780 --> 00:20:55,500
how serious and deadly it can
be.

392
00:20:55,900 --> 00:20:59,140
They did a good mix between
those two, I agree.

393
00:20:59,140 --> 00:21:04,220
And it really makes me think of
the incredible job that Inyaki

394
00:21:04,220 --> 00:21:06,300
does, right?
Because he has to hold this all

395
00:21:06,300 --> 00:21:09,460
together, right?
He has to give us these levels

396
00:21:09,500 --> 00:21:13,060
of, I mean, he's a kid who wants
to be a pirate.

397
00:21:13,220 --> 00:21:15,060
King of the Pirates.
King of the pirates.

398
00:21:15,060 --> 00:21:21,980
And so I'm sorry and so Luffy, I
apologize, Inyaki.

399
00:21:21,980 --> 00:21:23,780
I would.
I will be a straw hat pirate, I

400
00:21:23,780 --> 00:21:25,500
promise.
I don't know what I will bring

401
00:21:25,500 --> 00:21:30,220
to the crew, but I will do it.
I think though, it really does.

402
00:21:30,260 --> 00:21:33,180
Everything hinges on his
performance and he has to be

403
00:21:33,180 --> 00:21:37,660
able to be irreverent and fun,
but he also has to be able to be

404
00:21:37,660 --> 00:21:41,020
serious and really be there for
his friends.

405
00:21:41,300 --> 00:21:43,540
And I think throughout these
storylines where we're learning

406
00:21:43,540 --> 00:21:46,380
their backgrounds and we're
learning who they are, he's the

407
00:21:46,380 --> 00:21:48,020
one that's there to connect it
all.

408
00:21:48,660 --> 00:21:51,900
And really, his performance was
fantastic and he doesn't.

409
00:21:52,900 --> 00:21:54,340
So good.
Which?

410
00:21:55,180 --> 00:21:57,700
Just ask a question because it's
fun to ask these questions.

411
00:21:58,020 --> 00:22:01,250
Which?
Back Story of Theirs is your

412
00:22:01,250 --> 00:22:03,610
favorite.
Not necessarily.

413
00:22:03,610 --> 00:22:06,170
What Who's your favorite Straw
Hat crew member?

414
00:22:06,170 --> 00:22:07,730
But whose back story is your
favorite?

415
00:22:07,730 --> 00:22:11,810
OK, so they changed it a little
bit in the show, but my favorite

416
00:22:11,810 --> 00:22:16,010
back story is Sanji's.
You stole mine.

417
00:22:17,090 --> 00:22:17,730
Battle.
Battle.

418
00:22:17,770 --> 00:22:20,450
Battle.
His is my favorite and I think

419
00:22:20,450 --> 00:22:23,000
because.
You know, they changed it

420
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,280
slightly.
Just just a tiny, tiny bit.

421
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:31,520
But his was his, and I believe
Nami's and Luffy's was the most.

422
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,800
This is what their back story
is, or the little bit that we

423
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:38,560
got for Luffy.
But Sanji's was really that's

424
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,600
what happens.
Like he does.

425
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,240
He gives them all the food.
He keeps all the treasure.

426
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,350
You know he.
Doesn't eat his leg in the

427
00:22:46,350 --> 00:22:48,750
anime, but that was a dark
detail.

428
00:22:48,830 --> 00:22:51,830
Yes, I appreciate it.
That was the change and I was

429
00:22:51,950 --> 00:22:55,630
trying to figure.
I guess it made his actions even

430
00:22:55,630 --> 00:23:00,150
more heroic, right?
Whereas in the anime, he loses

431
00:23:00,150 --> 00:23:03,630
his leg when he's actually
swimming to save Sanji.

432
00:23:03,630 --> 00:23:06,510
So either way, he saves yeah, a
rope, rips it off or something

433
00:23:06,510 --> 00:23:09,950
like that.
Whereas this one he cuts his own

434
00:23:09,950 --> 00:23:13,750
leg off and he eats it.
I mean.

435
00:23:14,420 --> 00:23:17,820
He's a cook, so, so he knows
sashimi.

436
00:23:17,900 --> 00:23:22,380
I'm sure it was delicious.
You got to do what you got to

437
00:23:22,380 --> 00:23:24,580
do. 60 days.
They were stuck on that rock two

438
00:23:24,580 --> 00:23:26,460
months.
Yeah, his was definitely my

439
00:23:26,460 --> 00:23:29,300
favorite.
I love obviously all of them.

440
00:23:29,620 --> 00:23:34,820
The change to Zorro's back story
not change, but the abruptness

441
00:23:34,820 --> 00:23:37,420
of it kind of threw me off a
little bit.

442
00:23:37,660 --> 00:23:41,300
I love Zorro in the series and
in the in the live action, but

443
00:23:41,300 --> 00:23:44,390
the the point where?
You know, it's him and he's

444
00:23:44,390 --> 00:23:48,230
training and everything.
And then when the Dojo guy comes

445
00:23:48,230 --> 00:23:49,990
to him and he's like, she died,
right?

446
00:23:50,030 --> 00:23:51,670
It's like what there was an
accident.

447
00:23:51,750 --> 00:23:55,270
Like even though we knew that
that was coming, I was like

448
00:23:55,270 --> 00:23:57,990
watching the show.
I was like there was no like

449
00:23:57,990 --> 00:24:03,630
hint or there was no what is
urgency that she would possibly

450
00:24:03,630 --> 00:24:05,750
die.
And it was abrupt in the way of

451
00:24:05,750 --> 00:24:06,870
like.
But why?

452
00:24:07,490 --> 00:24:09,690
Yeah, there was no reason given.
Yeah, that.

453
00:24:09,690 --> 00:24:12,850
That's like, really literally my
only critique with this entire

454
00:24:12,850 --> 00:24:15,770
season.
I was like, well, his thing that

455
00:24:15,770 --> 00:24:18,770
kind of was the catalyst for
really becoming the greatest

456
00:24:18,770 --> 00:24:21,330
swordsman.
I felt like could have been done

457
00:24:21,330 --> 00:24:25,130
a little more carefully.
Yeah, but and I I mean, I think

458
00:24:25,130 --> 00:24:27,250
on you kind of touched on this
before.

459
00:24:27,250 --> 00:24:30,570
I think that USOPS was the most
brief.

460
00:24:30,970 --> 00:24:33,330
Yeah, we really didn't get much
of his back story.

461
00:24:33,330 --> 00:24:35,450
I don't know if they're going to
get into it a little more, but,

462
00:24:35,950 --> 00:24:37,990
you know, we just know that his
father is a pirate.

463
00:24:37,990 --> 00:24:40,270
He went away.
He was kind of the boy who cried

464
00:24:40,270 --> 00:24:43,950
wolf and his mother passed away.
That's all we really got.

465
00:24:44,750 --> 00:24:52,110
I mean, we this usap is just so
lovable and so caring, but it

466
00:24:52,110 --> 00:24:56,590
was like, oh, we OKI guess we'll
just take that and that's all

467
00:24:56,590 --> 00:24:59,910
we'll get.
Yeah, I I feel like the the

468
00:24:59,910 --> 00:25:03,890
loneliness of his character.
Didn't shine through as much as

469
00:25:03,890 --> 00:25:06,330
I'd like.
I would have liked it to or, you

470
00:25:06,330 --> 00:25:10,010
know, wanting to find those
pirates because that would mean

471
00:25:10,010 --> 00:25:12,570
his dad's back and they, they
touched on it briefly.

472
00:25:12,570 --> 00:25:16,130
But you know, I do.
I do think the relationship

473
00:25:16,130 --> 00:25:20,410
between him and Miss Gray Teeth.
Kaya, Kaya.

474
00:25:20,930 --> 00:25:24,570
She's sick, Noah.
She's drinking her blue tea.

475
00:25:24,570 --> 00:25:27,410
Yeah, the blue bright blue tea
girl like.

476
00:25:27,610 --> 00:25:32,880
And also it was in a clear
teapot like, listen, the cook.

477
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:37,400
I'm not blaming the victim here.
The Cook's hair looked like cat

478
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,160
ears.
I mean, this is a wild world.

479
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,840
They live in Okay sometimes.
Tea is blue, and it's the only

480
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,120
thing they're allowed to drink.
And it glows and it glows.

481
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:48,720
And sometimes your parents die
in a shipwreck and some random

482
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,400
guy comes back and says, your
parents sent me here to take

483
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,720
care of you.
Is that the story of Frozen?

484
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,680
Oh my God.
Kind of, right, yeah.

485
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:00,600
But there's no guy that comes
back, is she?

486
00:26:02,130 --> 00:26:06,410
She does have quite white hair
and she has been locked in her

487
00:26:06,410 --> 00:26:08,970
mansion for quite some time.
Hello, Kyle.

488
00:26:08,970 --> 00:26:13,490
Let it go.
Let the blue go.

489
00:26:14,690 --> 00:26:19,090
OK, The cold never bothered her
anyway or something, but she's

490
00:26:19,090 --> 00:26:22,410
fine now.
She is a shipping heiress.

491
00:26:22,810 --> 00:26:26,210
She is Jackie Onassis.
Oh yeah, yeah, she's she's fine.

492
00:26:26,250 --> 00:26:29,450
And she has regular tea now.
Just just a nice English

493
00:26:29,450 --> 00:26:32,260
breakfast.
Have a meal for when she needs

494
00:26:32,260 --> 00:26:37,260
to relax.
The this set and the costume

495
00:26:37,260 --> 00:26:40,980
design and the way the show
looked was phenomenal.

496
00:26:41,260 --> 00:26:47,340
There's been reports of how much
this show cost, and in my time

497
00:26:47,620 --> 00:26:50,620
that I did meet the people at
Netflix, I got to talk to one of

498
00:26:50,620 --> 00:26:52,300
the executives that is doing the
shows.

499
00:26:52,300 --> 00:26:54,980
They're actually going to be
working on the Avatar, The Last

500
00:26:55,540 --> 00:26:57,740
Airbender live action one.
So I got a little bit of

501
00:26:57,740 --> 00:26:59,940
information with that, which I'm
not going to say just yet.

502
00:27:01,230 --> 00:27:04,870
But the amount he had said that
when they were talking about

503
00:27:04,870 --> 00:27:09,150
budget that they said, you know
it's like Bridger 10, you don't

504
00:27:09,150 --> 00:27:13,950
skimp on the wig bit wig budget
we're not going to skimp on like

505
00:27:14,070 --> 00:27:16,510
the ship the.
Ships and the way it looks,

506
00:27:16,510 --> 00:27:19,350
because that's kind of what
makes you go into that world.

507
00:27:19,870 --> 00:27:23,510
But the reported numbers that
like have come out about how

508
00:27:23,510 --> 00:27:28,150
much the show cost like Game of
Thrones level numbers.

509
00:27:28,730 --> 00:27:30,290
Insane.
Well, I believe it.

510
00:27:30,290 --> 00:27:34,770
I mean, look at the costumes for
I mean, Nami has.

511
00:27:35,250 --> 00:27:39,370
Just a T-shirt and shorts, but
she has like 5 different outfits

512
00:27:39,410 --> 00:27:41,410
that are true to the.
Anime.

513
00:27:41,650 --> 00:27:46,870
All the wigs, all the orange
wigs, they built that ship with

514
00:27:46,870 --> 00:27:49,390
that giant sheep.
Head There was.

515
00:27:49,470 --> 00:27:52,590
There were some moments where I
was like, those aren't CGI

516
00:27:52,590 --> 00:27:54,470
ships.
No, those are real ships.

517
00:27:54,510 --> 00:27:56,830
All the fishmen, that's
practical makeup.

518
00:27:56,910 --> 00:27:58,990
They made those masks in those
hands.

519
00:27:58,990 --> 00:28:02,030
I mean, it's stellar.
It's stellar work.

520
00:28:02,030 --> 00:28:05,110
And that's The thing is that
because they put so much into

521
00:28:05,150 --> 00:28:08,550
it, the product is in.
Is incredible and I feel like

522
00:28:08,550 --> 00:28:12,710
the the nature of the series,
the the wonder, the wanting.

523
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:17,120
Them to fulfill their dreams and
really believing in Monkey D

524
00:28:17,120 --> 00:28:21,040
Luffy's quest to go to the Grand
Line and do all this stuff.

525
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:27,320
I feel like the nature of that,
having that type of just

526
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,640
suspending all disbelief and
believing everything that's

527
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:33,520
happening, it kind of lends
itself to those really goofy

528
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:35,720
moments.
Or like where the CGI is like I

529
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,760
know this is CGI, but like I'm
fine with everything that's

530
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,080
happening.
It's just they kind of created

531
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:46,720
this perfect mix of people
accepting what is going on, but

532
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:48,760
also it looks great at the same
time.

533
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:52,840
Yeah, it's it's a good mix.
And I feel like with it just

534
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:54,880
being like Okay, this boy does
have powers.

535
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,520
All he had to do is eat a fruit,
but he can't swim.

536
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,960
But that's it.
Like nothing crazier than that.

537
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,280
The sea.
The sea takes his revenge on.

538
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,640
You turns his back and you can
drown and die.

539
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:10,610
Deal with it.
So I think with all of the

540
00:29:10,610 --> 00:29:13,250
investing they did with this and
building the actual ships, they

541
00:29:13,250 --> 00:29:15,130
would be foolish not to do with
season two.

542
00:29:16,090 --> 00:29:17,690
Yeah, right.
Don't waste it.

543
00:29:17,730 --> 00:29:19,850
Yeah, yeah.
And it's been again number one

544
00:29:19,850 --> 00:29:24,130
on Netflix this whole time.
It looks great.

545
00:29:24,810 --> 00:29:28,930
The actors are fantastic, the
wigs phenomenal.

546
00:29:29,570 --> 00:29:32,410
You know one person where I was
hoping they'd be a little more

547
00:29:32,410 --> 00:29:35,970
suave, like their anime
counterpart called Roger.

548
00:29:37,450 --> 00:29:40,900
He looks quite dirty, but that
feels more realistic.

549
00:29:40,940 --> 00:29:44,260
It does as the king of the
pirates who has just been, you

550
00:29:44,260 --> 00:29:46,220
know, flitting around the world.
I know.

551
00:29:46,220 --> 00:29:49,940
But like, his like, and this is
just like the nerdy side, right?

552
00:29:49,940 --> 00:29:53,820
And it's his walking to his
execution was more like him

553
00:29:53,820 --> 00:29:56,900
walking to his coronation as
opposed to an execution.

554
00:29:56,900 --> 00:30:00,980
And I feel like because he
looked like, how was this guy

555
00:30:00,980 --> 00:30:03,540
king, the Pirates?
He looks like you just pulled

556
00:30:03,540 --> 00:30:05,900
him out of the gutter.
To me, that was the only thing

557
00:30:05,900 --> 00:30:08,490
where I was like.
I wish he looked as suave as he

558
00:30:08,490 --> 00:30:11,210
did.
I mean, maybe he was in prison

559
00:30:11,210 --> 00:30:12,450
for a while.
He probably.

560
00:30:12,450 --> 00:30:13,850
Did right.
That's probably it.

561
00:30:13,930 --> 00:30:17,450
But I like, I think we need to
talk about to me, the suavest of

562
00:30:17,450 --> 00:30:22,370
the swab is me.
Hawk, come on.

563
00:30:22,370 --> 00:30:25,490
Me, Hawk.
He's giving us that Pan Am

564
00:30:25,490 --> 00:30:28,860
facial hair, right?
Right.

565
00:30:28,900 --> 00:30:32,380
He's got those golden eyes.
He has a coffin.

566
00:30:32,780 --> 00:30:35,020
Little tiny shit.
Yeah, it's just him and his

567
00:30:35,020 --> 00:30:36,820
giant.
I mean, he's also a religious

568
00:30:36,820 --> 00:30:39,420
figure.
He wears a cross on his neck.

569
00:30:39,540 --> 00:30:41,820
His sword is a giant cross.
He believes in the art of the

570
00:30:41,820 --> 00:30:44,060
sword, yes.
And the thing that I like about

571
00:30:44,060 --> 00:30:48,460
me Hawk as a character is that
there isn't like someone gave me

572
00:30:48,460 --> 00:30:49,580
orders.
I have to carry it.

573
00:30:49,940 --> 00:30:54,640
It's like this is the situation
and that's OK.

574
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,480
Well, he's one of the seven
warlords, so I feel like he's

575
00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:59,760
afforded that, right?
So even though the Marines are

576
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:03,280
like, you have to kill this guy,
he gets there and he's like,

577
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,480
actually, you're really great.
It's not your time to die.

578
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,560
I'll see you later.
I really liked the scene between

579
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:12,240
Zoro and me, Hawk.
Out of all of the the villains,

580
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,720
the side characters, you know,
sorry Buggy.

581
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,490
Me, hawk was my favorite.
I just.

582
00:31:17,530 --> 00:31:20,450
I loved the whole scene.
I thought he looked fantastic

583
00:31:20,570 --> 00:31:23,290
and the dude was just, that was
suave.

584
00:31:23,650 --> 00:31:27,570
He was just like, amazing.
The music that was playing, Oh

585
00:31:27,570 --> 00:31:30,330
my God, Little tiny, little
tiny.

586
00:31:30,330 --> 00:31:31,730
It's not even a dagger.
What is that?

587
00:31:31,770 --> 00:31:34,370
It's like it's a pen knife.
It's a it's a tiny thing.

588
00:31:34,370 --> 00:31:37,650
It's a whittling whittler.
Also knife.

589
00:31:38,290 --> 00:31:41,650
I think it's a paring knife,
cheese knife, a cheese knife for

590
00:31:41,650 --> 00:31:43,570
a soft.
Brie, It's a charcuterie board.

591
00:31:43,570 --> 00:31:44,850
One.
It's not even sharp.

592
00:31:45,250 --> 00:31:48,010
You can, with a piece of chalk,
write the type of cheese on it,

593
00:31:48,290 --> 00:31:51,050
but that's how good he is.
That's how good he is.

594
00:31:51,650 --> 00:31:55,730
So good.
I'm very excited that we got the

595
00:31:55,730 --> 00:31:57,650
little scene between him and
Shanks.

596
00:31:58,010 --> 00:32:01,610
Just to get a little bit more Me
Hawk in the show.

597
00:32:01,690 --> 00:32:05,570
Yeah, very good.
Me hawk is like top.

598
00:32:05,650 --> 00:32:07,010
Me like.
Me hawk.

599
00:32:07,010 --> 00:32:12,420
Me, like me, hawk out of the
sort of the the evil pirates

600
00:32:12,420 --> 00:32:14,380
that we meet.
Did you have a favorite?

601
00:32:14,940 --> 00:32:16,300
Buggy.
Really.

602
00:32:16,340 --> 00:32:18,980
Yeah.
I mean, he's great.

603
00:32:19,180 --> 00:32:23,620
I think him being around longer
was a fun thing that they did as

604
00:32:23,620 --> 00:32:26,220
opposed to like in the anime
where you don't see him until a

605
00:32:26,220 --> 00:32:28,660
little later, but it was just
fun.

606
00:32:28,660 --> 00:32:32,620
I think you know the actor that
played him did a fantastic job

607
00:32:32,660 --> 00:32:37,420
of doing it and I love love
people thirsting.

608
00:32:37,740 --> 00:32:42,940
After Buggy Online, it is so
bizarre because I remember

609
00:32:43,140 --> 00:32:45,780
again, we're doing an IT
reference, but you know, kids

610
00:32:45,820 --> 00:32:49,420
and clowns.
But I remember the first chapter

611
00:32:49,420 --> 00:32:52,020
of IT when it came out, there
was people online that were

612
00:32:52,020 --> 00:32:56,060
like, am I weirdly attracted to
Pennywise?

613
00:32:56,300 --> 00:32:59,180
Which I feel like they need to
talk to somebody about that.

614
00:32:59,180 --> 00:33:02,340
That's a bit more of a jump than
buggy, but I feel.

615
00:33:02,580 --> 00:33:06,780
Like, I feel like Buggy really
opened the doors to people being

616
00:33:06,780 --> 00:33:08,860
like.
I think I'm into clowns.

617
00:33:08,860 --> 00:33:12,660
Clown play, Yeah, I think I like
clowns.

618
00:33:12,940 --> 00:33:15,620
But I mean, that aside,
fantastic.

619
00:33:15,620 --> 00:33:17,980
I think he was great.
He was really great and I agree.

620
00:33:17,980 --> 00:33:21,540
I liked having him around a lot,
and from what I've seen, Buggy

621
00:33:21,540 --> 00:33:25,460
is in one piece.
He's quite a yeah for like ever.

622
00:33:25,540 --> 00:33:28,140
A lot of these characters, yeah,
Which I also love, right?

623
00:33:28,340 --> 00:33:31,460
That okay, I defeated this
pirate.

624
00:33:31,820 --> 00:33:34,490
But they're not dead, right?
They're gone.

625
00:33:34,490 --> 00:33:36,890
And they might come back.
And I think that's fun.

626
00:33:36,890 --> 00:33:38,130
Oh, look who's here.
They're back.

627
00:33:38,130 --> 00:33:42,930
Oh, are they friend or foe?
It's Claud or see.

628
00:33:42,930 --> 00:33:44,770
I want more Claud.
No, I don't.

629
00:33:45,050 --> 00:33:50,130
Yes, there's something about him
that is so creepy that I can't

630
00:33:50,130 --> 00:33:51,730
help but gravitate.
Towards it.

631
00:33:51,730 --> 00:33:54,250
I think I want more creepier,
more ruthless.

632
00:33:54,450 --> 00:33:59,410
To me, I'm just like, stop the
daintiness of this man, right?

633
00:33:59,970 --> 00:34:04,250
He's exactly, he's so dainty
that even though he has like

634
00:34:04,250 --> 00:34:08,290
footlong claws on, he just, oh,
he just uses the little bottom

635
00:34:08,290 --> 00:34:11,130
of his hand to push up his
glasses, you know what I mean?

636
00:34:11,130 --> 00:34:14,290
It's like the it's the
juxtaposition between the two

637
00:34:14,290 --> 00:34:17,250
just just gets me.
I also am so excited that we got

638
00:34:17,250 --> 00:34:19,969
to see Alvida in this.
Little tiny bit.

639
00:34:20,050 --> 00:34:24,929
Just a little tiny bit.
But I love Elia Isorelli's

640
00:34:25,050 --> 00:34:28,550
Paulino, who plays Alvida.
I'm glad you wrote that down.

641
00:34:29,030 --> 00:34:32,830
I could not remember her name.
We fell in love with her for her

642
00:34:32,830 --> 00:34:36,310
role in the sex lives of college
girls she was in in the first

643
00:34:36,310 --> 00:34:37,630
season.
Everyone fell in love with her.

644
00:34:37,630 --> 00:34:40,230
They gave her a bigger part in
season 2 and I was so happy to

645
00:34:40,230 --> 00:34:43,989
see her get more work.
And I mean, she totally embodies

646
00:34:44,150 --> 00:34:46,510
Alvida.
She did The little tiny bit of

647
00:34:46,510 --> 00:34:48,870
screen time she got.
It was fantastic.

648
00:34:48,949 --> 00:34:52,830
I love the little hint at the
end that Alvida and Buggy are

649
00:34:52,830 --> 00:34:55,790
going to kind of team up, or at
least they're in the same area.

650
00:34:56,210 --> 00:34:59,730
And I just want those two actors
that are playing those

651
00:34:59,730 --> 00:35:03,130
characters to just do more
things, just playoff each other.

652
00:35:03,130 --> 00:35:04,610
Oh, so good.
Yeah.

653
00:35:04,810 --> 00:35:08,730
What did you think of the whole
R Long storyline?

654
00:35:09,130 --> 00:35:15,210
I thought it was fine.
I think you know, again, it's

655
00:35:15,210 --> 00:35:18,210
where the anime benefits, right?
It's you're with the story a

656
00:35:18,210 --> 00:35:20,490
little longer.
There's more moments where you

657
00:35:20,490 --> 00:35:23,170
can really feel the emotions or
get to know some of the

658
00:35:23,170 --> 00:35:24,650
characters that play a bigger
part.

659
00:35:26,050 --> 00:35:29,490
This is the scene, you know,
even Emily Rudd herself said

660
00:35:29,490 --> 00:35:32,210
like this.
The Help me scene is like what

661
00:35:32,210 --> 00:35:34,210
was like.
I'm a One Piece fan.

662
00:35:34,290 --> 00:35:38,930
Like I wasn't expecting this
level of like, oh twist and

663
00:35:38,970 --> 00:35:44,930
emotion and I love this
character, I think so I lied

664
00:35:44,930 --> 00:35:46,530
earlier.
This is my other critique.

665
00:35:47,130 --> 00:35:53,570
Little tiny critique I think,
with Luffy knowing about R long

666
00:35:53,850 --> 00:35:57,310
and.
Everything beforehand, because

667
00:35:57,310 --> 00:36:00,270
in the anime, he doesn't know he
he doesn't know about any of

668
00:36:00,270 --> 00:36:01,390
that.
They're separated this whole

669
00:36:01,390 --> 00:36:03,550
time.
And when he finally goes to Nami

670
00:36:03,550 --> 00:36:06,510
in the anime and after, she's
like kind of tore her tattoo out

671
00:36:06,510 --> 00:36:09,310
and she's just completely
helpless without knowing

672
00:36:09,310 --> 00:36:12,590
anything.
She's asked him for help and

673
00:36:12,590 --> 00:36:16,230
he's like, OK, of course.
So it's like that simplicity was

674
00:36:16,270 --> 00:36:20,000
almost taken.
I'm not saying it was not done

675
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:23,560
well, but to me, like in the
anime, it's like, yeah, that is

676
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:28,200
the scene where it's like Luffy
is a great person and holy shit,

677
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:31,800
that scene in the show, I
thought they did a good job.

678
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:36,320
I think they did a good job of
illustrating how much Nami was

679
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:39,040
hiding and why she needed to do
that.

680
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:42,360
And you didn't really get hints
that like there was something

681
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:45,400
else going on in the background
until right before it happened,

682
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:47,760
which I very much appreciated in
the show.

683
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:50,040
Because as like somebody that
already knows the story, I'm

684
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:53,000
like, OK, I'm waiting for this
to happen, but I didn't notice

685
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:56,000
like any hints, you know.
So I think they did a good job.

686
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:59,720
I think R Long was great.
I think the fight at the end was

687
00:36:59,720 --> 00:37:02,480
fantastic, so well done.
A lot of the budget probably

688
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:05,880
went into that building fall
that it was very well done.

689
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:08,280
I liked the arcade aspect that
they kind of gave these.

690
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:11,840
That was really fun.
Broie Fishman Yeah, that's

691
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:14,940
great.
Yeah, I really, I thought they

692
00:37:14,940 --> 00:37:17,820
did a good job as well.
I actually was missing a bit of

693
00:37:17,820 --> 00:37:20,140
the lighter moments that the
anime gave us, right?

694
00:37:20,140 --> 00:37:24,820
There's that one fish guy in the
anime that's just a complete

695
00:37:24,860 --> 00:37:26,500
fool.
What's his name?

696
00:37:26,500 --> 00:37:30,140
The octopus, the octopus guy.
And he's like helping the wrong

697
00:37:30,140 --> 00:37:32,180
people.
He's bringing people places to

698
00:37:32,180 --> 00:37:33,660
giving people the wrong
information.

699
00:37:34,180 --> 00:37:37,460
And we needed that because Nami
storyline is just so

700
00:37:37,460 --> 00:37:39,860
heartbreaking.
It's just constantly over and

701
00:37:39,860 --> 00:37:41,340
over, just bad things happening
to her.

702
00:37:41,620 --> 00:37:45,300
So we needed that bit of levity,
which I really the enemy and I

703
00:37:45,300 --> 00:37:46,940
wish we got a little bit of
that.

704
00:37:46,940 --> 00:37:51,140
I wish we had that character.
I think he was sort of there as

705
00:37:51,140 --> 00:37:53,980
in a look, but he wasn't there
as the character.

706
00:37:53,980 --> 00:37:55,820
That would make sense.
I feel like they're going to do

707
00:37:55,820 --> 00:37:57,900
that a lot, where it's like this
character didn't really have a

708
00:37:57,900 --> 00:38:00,220
big role, but they're like they
were there.

709
00:38:00,940 --> 00:38:04,980
The scene that I thought was
like really big emotional punch

710
00:38:04,980 --> 00:38:08,220
in this whole thing of the
revelation of R Long, going back

711
00:38:08,220 --> 00:38:10,740
on the deal with Nami and
everything was when she was

712
00:38:10,740 --> 00:38:14,020
running after.
Them and she was running through

713
00:38:14,060 --> 00:38:17,300
the the Tangerine Grove or
whatever.

714
00:38:17,860 --> 00:38:20,700
I mean Emily Rudd knocked it out
of the park in that scene.

715
00:38:20,700 --> 00:38:22,700
It was just the emotion was
there.

716
00:38:22,700 --> 00:38:25,420
I love the way that was shot.
It was so good.

717
00:38:25,420 --> 00:38:28,260
It was like leading up right to
where she like drops on her

718
00:38:28,260 --> 00:38:32,220
knees and does the help me part.
Just very, very good.

719
00:38:32,260 --> 00:38:37,460
I think they as a show like this
needs something like that to

720
00:38:37,460 --> 00:38:41,860
show like their stakes that are
more than just like.

721
00:38:42,550 --> 00:38:45,390
A ship is shooting at us.
Or like, we need to get this

722
00:38:45,390 --> 00:38:47,190
map.
But there's like personal

723
00:38:47,230 --> 00:38:49,230
emotional stakes.
And I think that's why it's so

724
00:38:49,230 --> 00:38:53,710
beloved, is that it matches the
antics with the emotional depth

725
00:38:53,710 --> 00:38:56,470
so good, so good.
And just even talking about some

726
00:38:56,470 --> 00:39:01,230
of the sort of antics the the
little details of I love, I'm

727
00:39:01,230 --> 00:39:06,780
sorry, I love seagulls
delivering newspapers they are

728
00:39:06,780 --> 00:39:11,420
jacking up the prices like they
their business goals you could

729
00:39:11,420 --> 00:39:13,100
just.
Go on your snail phone and just

730
00:39:13,100 --> 00:39:15,020
and then the snail phones.
Come on.

731
00:39:15,220 --> 00:39:19,020
I love that the snail phones and
the snail megaphones like you

732
00:39:19,020 --> 00:39:21,740
can get them to look like you.
Also like Bluetooth versions,

733
00:39:22,820 --> 00:39:27,100
pop it right in the ear.
It's just so bizarre, but so

734
00:39:27,100 --> 00:39:29,060
right.
It just makes so much sense.

735
00:39:29,180 --> 00:39:31,420
Did you say who your favorite,
like, villain was?

736
00:39:31,940 --> 00:39:33,460
Or the Bat Pirates?
I'm not sure you did.

737
00:39:34,780 --> 00:39:37,570
I I don't know if I.
Did I answer and then take away

738
00:39:37,570 --> 00:39:39,170
the conversation?
But no, I think we kind of

739
00:39:39,170 --> 00:39:41,490
touched on it.
I mean, I was, I think, I don't

740
00:39:41,490 --> 00:39:43,850
know why, but I think Kudo is my
favorite.

741
00:39:45,010 --> 00:39:48,850
He's so slimy.
What about Garp Garp?

742
00:39:49,130 --> 00:39:51,610
Garp Grand.
His grandpa, Grandpa Garp.

743
00:39:51,770 --> 00:39:56,490
Yeah, well he, you know, he I
put him in the sort of friendly

744
00:39:56,490 --> 00:40:00,730
Marine category.
Because he's like an antagonist.

745
00:40:00,770 --> 00:40:02,810
He is.
But once he gets to him, he's

746
00:40:02,810 --> 00:40:05,050
like, All right boy, live your
dreams.

747
00:40:06,210 --> 00:40:09,130
I love Yalofi.
I feel like, what was that

748
00:40:09,130 --> 00:40:11,850
Disney show, Luck of the Irish
or the movie?

749
00:40:12,290 --> 00:40:15,570
I think it was luck of the Irish
01 of the Disney the made for

750
00:40:15,570 --> 00:40:17,490
yeah.
That's the accent.

751
00:40:17,490 --> 00:40:19,930
That's what you're giving me.
I thought I was going for more

752
00:40:19,930 --> 00:40:22,850
Scrooge Mcduck from Duck Tales.
Also that.

753
00:40:24,190 --> 00:40:27,470
I like I liked his involvement
in it because it gave a little

754
00:40:27,470 --> 00:40:31,390
more mystery to like Luffy's
past that like in the the anime

755
00:40:31,390 --> 00:40:33,110
up until this point, we didn't
know.

756
00:40:33,190 --> 00:40:34,270
Nothing.
It's like you get the whole

757
00:40:34,270 --> 00:40:35,830
Shanks thing.
You get all of that.

758
00:40:36,830 --> 00:40:39,030
That's it.
It takes a little longer for

759
00:40:39,030 --> 00:40:43,430
like his family lineage to come
out, but I like that they added

760
00:40:43,430 --> 00:40:46,750
that with like the Kobe and
fantastic bowl cut.

761
00:40:46,790 --> 00:40:50,550
Yes, I I think that was a big
change from the live action

762
00:40:50,550 --> 00:40:54,430
because seeing Kobe come
together with Helmepo, that

763
00:40:54,430 --> 00:40:57,030
doesn't happen until after what
we've watched.

764
00:40:57,030 --> 00:41:01,070
So they basically did like a
Control X, you know which

765
00:41:01,070 --> 00:41:03,270
Control V and pasted it here
because it did.

766
00:41:03,270 --> 00:41:06,070
It gave it a lot more context
and I think it was funny.

767
00:41:06,070 --> 00:41:08,630
And watching the anime, I was
actually really surprised that

768
00:41:08,630 --> 00:41:11,870
Kobe left so early because they
had hit it off so well.

769
00:41:12,110 --> 00:41:15,950
Of course their dreams are
they're going to cross, but in a

770
00:41:15,950 --> 00:41:19,760
bad way, right?
In essence, they're enemies, but

771
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:21,920
they obviously like each other
enough.

772
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:25,440
So it was fun to see sort of
Kobe deal with that throughout

773
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:28,120
this and going, but I like this
person even though I'm supposed

774
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:32,000
to be capturing this person.
And I like that they did it in

775
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:35,400
the live action more because you
got to see the presence of the

776
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:39,080
marines more.
Whereas in the anime up until

777
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:42,440
this point, they're they're
sporadically like one of the big

778
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:46,120
people when Luffy gets Soro out
of the marine base.

779
00:41:46,980 --> 00:41:49,820
They're there, but like they're
in it sporadically.

780
00:41:50,700 --> 00:41:52,820
And I like that.
They kept reminding you like

781
00:41:52,820 --> 00:41:56,980
there are pirates, there's the
Straw Hats and there's Fishmen

782
00:41:56,980 --> 00:42:00,140
and there's the Marines.
There's tons of other groups and

783
00:42:00,140 --> 00:42:03,020
the world government everything.
But I like that they kept

784
00:42:03,020 --> 00:42:06,580
showing you that presence and we
got that storyline of them

785
00:42:06,580 --> 00:42:11,260
getting trained by Garp earlier.
So that way next season we can

786
00:42:11,260 --> 00:42:13,340
get a little bit more.
It's kind of fast forwarding

787
00:42:13,340 --> 00:42:15,500
some of the stuff that.
Doesn't make sense not to

788
00:42:15,500 --> 00:42:18,340
include, and I think it was a
little nicer because in the

789
00:42:18,380 --> 00:42:22,860
anime, just like we get as many
pirates, we almost get as many

790
00:42:22,860 --> 00:42:26,780
Marine Captains that we meet and
so this was more of a through

791
00:42:26,780 --> 00:42:30,340
line to sort of have this same
group of marines following them,

792
00:42:30,340 --> 00:42:31,940
right?
So it's easier to follow as a

793
00:42:31,940 --> 00:42:34,900
viewer, especially because we're
switching so many pirates,

794
00:42:35,060 --> 00:42:38,340
whereas the pirates come back.
I feel like the Marine Captains

795
00:42:38,340 --> 00:42:41,220
might not in that way.
Right, because.

796
00:42:41,260 --> 00:42:45,010
Marine Yeah, Boo.
Boo the Marines.

797
00:42:45,090 --> 00:42:50,770
So it makes me laugh though,
that the the, you know, Marines,

798
00:42:50,770 --> 00:42:53,850
you know, the armed forces of
this world, wear like baseball

799
00:42:53,850 --> 00:42:56,370
caps.
Oh yeah, Sometimes with little

800
00:42:56,370 --> 00:42:58,330
mouse ears.
Yes, it's great.

801
00:42:58,610 --> 00:43:01,970
I love those hybrid people that
are part animal, part human.

802
00:43:01,970 --> 00:43:03,490
I.
Really like it too, because,

803
00:43:03,490 --> 00:43:07,170
like, I love that they didn't
shy away from it.

804
00:43:07,660 --> 00:43:10,420
In the live action, you know,
they're like, no, these are what

805
00:43:10,420 --> 00:43:12,820
these characters look like.
They have this color hair.

806
00:43:12,860 --> 00:43:14,140
They're going to have that color
hair.

807
00:43:14,620 --> 00:43:19,100
And I like it too, because it
also gives, like novice or

808
00:43:19,100 --> 00:43:23,660
dabblers of cosplay a ton of
other things to cosplay.

809
00:43:23,660 --> 00:43:27,940
Like I just need to put ears on
a hood with a hat and put

810
00:43:27,940 --> 00:43:30,740
Marine, you'll know who I am.
Absolutely fantastic.

811
00:43:30,780 --> 00:43:34,260
And that's what is so great.
Just as a whole, the imagination

812
00:43:34,260 --> 00:43:37,480
of there, there's no hold barred
in this world.

813
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:43,680
Right this is like a a a 10th, a
titty, itty bitty, titty titty

814
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:47,120
bitty.
Little tiny bit of like what

815
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:49,680
this series is.
Yeah, if you don't care about

816
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:51,440
spoilers, just like look up some
of the characters.

817
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:53,200
Look up the rest of the Straw
Hat crew.

818
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:55,520
Insane.
Yeah, insane.

819
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:58,720
The level of imagination.
That's what's so beautiful about

820
00:43:58,720 --> 00:44:00,160
it.
It's not like he's like, well,

821
00:44:00,670 --> 00:44:03,950
Loufy's a human, so then they
all have to be humans or it's

822
00:44:03,950 --> 00:44:08,550
like, no Kaya's but Kyla's
parents Accountant is a sheep

823
00:44:08,550 --> 00:44:10,990
man.
Mary, Mary.

824
00:44:10,990 --> 00:44:13,070
And that's OK we're fine with
that.

825
00:44:13,070 --> 00:44:16,550
RIP rip.
But it is the Going Mary, the

826
00:44:16,550 --> 00:44:18,870
ship is the going Mary.
They do do that as a tribute to

827
00:44:18,870 --> 00:44:20,230
him.
It's going to be there for as

828
00:44:20,230 --> 00:44:23,750
long as that ship is there.
Yes, is there for a little bit.

829
00:44:23,790 --> 00:44:29,340
Spoiler alert, I love the ship
right now because so simple.

830
00:44:29,340 --> 00:44:33,020
It's it's so simple.
They brought tangerine trees on

831
00:44:33,020 --> 00:44:35,900
it for Nami.
You know, Sanji is so happy

832
00:44:35,900 --> 00:44:38,620
cooking for his crew.
It's just.

833
00:44:38,780 --> 00:44:40,940
Who is your?
I'm going to ask you 2

834
00:44:40,940 --> 00:44:42,020
questions.
Oh my gosh.

835
00:44:42,300 --> 00:44:45,860
So who is your favorite straw
hat in the live action?

836
00:44:45,860 --> 00:44:48,380
Not not the enemy.
So you can't confuse the two.

837
00:44:49,100 --> 00:44:53,180
And then what job would you
rather have on the going Mary

838
00:44:54,420 --> 00:44:57,530
out of all of them?
OK, I definitely would want to

839
00:44:57,530 --> 00:45:01,690
be the chef.
I know that for sure, because I

840
00:45:02,050 --> 00:45:03,690
would not be good as a
navigator.

841
00:45:04,330 --> 00:45:06,650
I don't think I could handle
three swords.

842
00:45:08,090 --> 00:45:10,370
I don't think it's a
requirement, nor do I want to

843
00:45:10,450 --> 00:45:13,130
have the pressure of being the
captain of the ship or the

844
00:45:13,130 --> 00:45:15,650
sniper of the ship, so I just
want to cook for people.

845
00:45:15,650 --> 00:45:18,210
You just want to be able to,
like, cook and be close to the

846
00:45:18,210 --> 00:45:19,330
snacks.
I just want to be like, hi

847
00:45:19,330 --> 00:45:20,570
everyone.
You having a good time?

848
00:45:20,570 --> 00:45:23,740
Oh, there's a fight okie.
Although he does fight pretty

849
00:45:23,860 --> 00:45:25,500
badass.
Funny enough, the sniper is the

850
00:45:25,500 --> 00:45:27,140
more reluctant 1 to get into the
fight.

851
00:45:27,660 --> 00:45:32,180
I mean, just as a tangent here,
Taz Schuyler, who plays Sanji.

852
00:45:32,420 --> 00:45:35,780
Not only did he do fight
training, but he also trained as

853
00:45:35,780 --> 00:45:38,100
a chef.
Yeah, so he has the knife skills

854
00:45:38,100 --> 00:45:40,580
to back it up.
I'll link the article that I

855
00:45:40,580 --> 00:45:45,140
when I talked to all the cast
because he this guy, I I swear

856
00:45:45,140 --> 00:45:49,380
to God he is the most charming
and easygoing person I've ever

857
00:45:49,380 --> 00:45:52,300
met because he took a group of
us.

858
00:45:52,460 --> 00:45:54,620
Because it was like wrapping up
took a group of us and he's

859
00:45:54,620 --> 00:45:57,380
like, let's all just sit down
and talk and he was asking us

860
00:45:57,380 --> 00:46:00,220
questions and we're like, no,
can we have 5 minutes?

861
00:46:00,580 --> 00:46:02,620
We need to talk to you.
We need to know about you.

862
00:46:02,940 --> 00:46:04,620
But he talked about his
experience there.

863
00:46:04,620 --> 00:46:07,180
I I did write about it, so I'll
put it down below in the show

864
00:46:07,180 --> 00:46:08,580
notes.
That way you can see just like a

865
00:46:08,580 --> 00:46:10,620
little tidbit of what he had
said.

866
00:46:10,620 --> 00:46:12,860
But training did all his own
stunts.

867
00:46:12,900 --> 00:46:14,260
Oh my God, so good.
Great.

868
00:46:14,740 --> 00:46:16,700
But I think my favorite straw
hat.

869
00:46:16,900 --> 00:46:21,100
I mean, this is so boring, but
it's it's Monkey D Luffy.

870
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:23,720
Interesting.
I didn't expect that, but it

871
00:46:23,720 --> 00:46:26,920
should have.
Luffy is everything I want to be

872
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:28,880
as a person.
I feel like that's the energy

873
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:30,760
you give off.
That's what I want to be.

874
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:34,000
I want to be supportive, I want
to be happy and jovial, but I

875
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:36,280
want to be there for you if I
need to be.

876
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:39,240
I think The funny thing about
that, and it's kind of like

877
00:46:39,240 --> 00:46:43,400
loofy in a way, is that
everybody thinks that of you, so

878
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:45,240
you're already there.
Oh, that's nice.

879
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:51,110
Ask anybody, guys.
Well, that's how I lead my life.

880
00:46:51,270 --> 00:46:52,870
That's the type of person I want
to be.

881
00:46:52,910 --> 00:46:55,190
Oh, OK.
OK, and if I could be stretchy.

882
00:46:56,030 --> 00:46:57,430
So you want to be loofy, but
cooking?

883
00:46:58,070 --> 00:47:00,670
Yeah, And if I could be
stretchy, I could just reach for

884
00:47:00,670 --> 00:47:01,550
things.
Got it.

885
00:47:01,750 --> 00:47:03,910
How about you?
So who's your favorite straw hat

886
00:47:03,910 --> 00:47:06,190
member and what role would you
want in the ship?

887
00:47:06,230 --> 00:47:08,390
OK, role, since you're going to
do cooking all your cook.

888
00:47:10,750 --> 00:47:12,790
My God, I kind of like the
Navigator.

889
00:47:13,110 --> 00:47:14,750
I think that's fun.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

890
00:47:14,750 --> 00:47:18,750
It's like just enough pressure,
but like always, could be busy,

891
00:47:19,210 --> 00:47:20,330
sure.
You know what I mean?

892
00:47:20,650 --> 00:47:23,050
Like Captain is more like, OK,
call me when there's decisions

893
00:47:23,050 --> 00:47:24,490
to be made.
Whatever.

894
00:47:24,490 --> 00:47:29,050
I mean, their job is important,
but sniper man?

895
00:47:29,050 --> 00:47:33,930
It's fine.
Swordsman in the mouth.

896
00:47:34,290 --> 00:47:36,690
And you don't.
You have to hold one in your

897
00:47:36,690 --> 00:47:40,690
mouth.
I'm not going to be Zorro, yeah,

898
00:47:40,690 --> 00:47:43,970
but I I think Navigator sounds
like a job that I would

899
00:47:43,970 --> 00:47:50,040
appreciate and I would like.
As far as favorite, I mean Sanji

900
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:52,280
is it?
He's my he's my favorite.

901
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:55,960
It goes between Usap and Sanji
quite a bit and Zorro like tends

902
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:58,720
to get up there.
But like, I love Sanji's back

903
00:47:58,720 --> 00:48:00,240
story.
I love the way he looks.

904
00:48:00,240 --> 00:48:02,800
I love that his fighting styles
kicks with his hands in his

905
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:05,000
pockets and then he's like,
cool, Are you hungry?

906
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:08,600
Like, I just.
I love that character so much.

907
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:12,280
I think, like after the time
jump, when his eyebrows get a

908
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:16,100
little more crazier, I'm like.
The leany loop de loose, yeah,

909
00:48:16,260 --> 00:48:17,340
you got the.
Goatee too.

910
00:48:17,380 --> 00:48:19,180
Yeah, you need to calm down a
little bit.

911
00:48:19,180 --> 00:48:21,500
But I just like the jazziness of
him.

912
00:48:21,540 --> 00:48:23,940
I don't know.
You were wearing a blue and

913
00:48:23,940 --> 00:48:26,940
white stripe button down the
other day you were giving off

914
00:48:26,940 --> 00:48:30,580
major Sanji vibes.
I should have worn that for

915
00:48:30,580 --> 00:48:33,530
this.
This is my most part we're gonna

916
00:48:33,530 --> 00:48:35,450
do.
I was trying to do a little

917
00:48:35,450 --> 00:48:37,610
loofy in this because he wears
like I don't.

918
00:48:37,690 --> 00:48:39,250
Have to have a red thing all
right here.

919
00:48:39,250 --> 00:48:43,570
No, I just he has like the sort
of red short sleeve thing.

920
00:48:43,570 --> 00:48:46,530
This is going on YouTube.
That zana Zana, right?

921
00:48:46,530 --> 00:48:48,130
What is it?
No nipples on YouTube or

922
00:48:48,130 --> 00:48:49,210
something like that.
Is that true?

923
00:48:49,410 --> 00:48:52,610
No, I don't think so because
people do workout videos, right?

924
00:48:53,370 --> 00:48:56,250
I don't know what the rules are.
You said something, I said.

925
00:48:56,370 --> 00:48:59,290
Is that true?
No, no, I think I was just doing

926
00:48:59,290 --> 00:49:01,490
hyperbole.
Wow, that's very usap of you.

927
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:05,080
I do have a little usop in me.
Who doesn't?

928
00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:07,520
I love telling a little story.
And also, maybe I'm not that

929
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:09,320
brave.
You're like, I've been lying to

930
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:11,000
everybody.
Well, just like now, right?

931
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:12,760
I was like, you can't show
nipple and you're like this

932
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:13,560
show.
I was like, I don't think so.

933
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:20,520
Oh, OK, let us know who your
favorite, Yeah, who your

934
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:23,120
favorite straw hat person is.
It could be from the anime

935
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:24,720
monger.
Whatever you want to be, keep it

936
00:49:24,720 --> 00:49:26,280
to live action.
That's kind of fun, you know.

937
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:28,840
Just lessen the pool a little
bit, don't spoil it.

938
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:30,680
But also what job you would want
to have?

939
00:49:31,380 --> 00:49:34,460
We do know from the announcement
for Season 2 that Tony, Tony

940
00:49:34,460 --> 00:49:36,260
Chopper is coming.
Their medic is coming.

941
00:49:36,700 --> 00:49:40,180
Their little Dr. Little Dear
Boy, He's so cute.

942
00:49:40,700 --> 00:49:42,540
He's just a little baby.
He's got such a big hat.

943
00:49:42,620 --> 00:49:48,820
I will talk about Season 2 a
little bit and wrap up and then

944
00:49:50,020 --> 00:49:53,580
sell off into the the Grand line
and then we have to wait like 2

945
00:49:53,580 --> 00:49:55,900
years longer.
Who knows?

946
00:49:55,940 --> 00:49:58,440
I guess it's time to catch.
Catch.

947
00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:00,760
Yeah, exactly.
To when?

948
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:04,920
Like this like 13 year old boy
can punch a God Oh my gosh

949
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:08,720
there's so much like because
I've been liking stuff about the

950
00:50:08,720 --> 00:50:11,640
live action now.
And like my feed, it's all all

951
00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:16,800
One Piece things.
White hair so big gears.

952
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:18,000
I don't even know what that
means.

953
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:20,400
Yeah, yeah, it's a lot.
It's a lot.

954
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:23,800
But hey, we have time.
I would say like it is

955
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:27,410
intimidating, but just start it.
And just like your Saturday

956
00:50:27,410 --> 00:50:29,170
morning, you have nothing really
going on.

957
00:50:29,210 --> 00:50:31,570
Put it on.
Yeah, cuz I wouldn't say there's

958
00:50:31,570 --> 00:50:33,770
filler episodes, but there's
like transition episodes.

959
00:50:33,770 --> 00:50:35,490
There's episodes where they're
talking or trying to get

960
00:50:35,490 --> 00:50:37,570
somewhere.
Like the same fight for like 5

961
00:50:37,570 --> 00:50:38,970
episodes.
It's fine.

962
00:50:38,970 --> 00:50:42,730
Just watch it done.
You're gonna hear that a lot.

963
00:50:42,930 --> 00:50:48,570
Yeah, yeah, you got that a
little bit in here too, but for

964
00:50:48,890 --> 00:50:51,180
Chopper.
I'm going to be curious to see

965
00:50:51,180 --> 00:50:54,300
how they do that character.
Is it going to be practical?

966
00:50:54,540 --> 00:50:57,460
Is it going to be a Muppet?
Which I would love if it was a

967
00:50:57,460 --> 00:51:02,780
mope it, mope it, chopper the
mope it, or if it's just going

968
00:51:02,780 --> 00:51:06,100
to be all CGI, which I'm hoping
it's one of the other two and

969
00:51:06,100 --> 00:51:09,020
not CGI.
Someone, someone I saw said

970
00:51:09,300 --> 00:51:12,100
something today, like I wouldn't
mind if they did the Detective

971
00:51:12,100 --> 00:51:16,540
Pikachu kind of thing, yeah.
But that's all CGI, I know, But

972
00:51:16,540 --> 00:51:19,160
I'm saying it looked cool.
I mean, how you know, it's like

973
00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:24,280
how do you do a fully animal
character that's also like?

974
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:29,320
Like a baby.
A bunch of like at least four

975
00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:33,920
other members that like come on
to the Straw Hat crew have to be

976
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:37,080
CGI.
Like there's no there's literal

977
00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:40,000
skeleton.
Yeah, I don't know how.

978
00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:42,880
But you know, yeah, I actually
am.

979
00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:47,040
Like, I'm not looking into these
characters, but when I see them

980
00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:48,920
I get very excited.
Oh yeah, Yeah.

981
00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:50,560
Hopefully this is like a
stranger's thing.

982
00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:54,640
Stranger's thing Thing where
Stranger Things.

983
00:51:54,720 --> 00:51:58,240
Stranger thing thing.
No, I'm trying to say it's like

984
00:51:58,240 --> 00:52:01,920
a thing like stranger thing, but
you kept saying strangers thing.

985
00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:03,320
Strangers things.
Things.

986
00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:06,560
It's one Strange, Got it?
Many things got it.

987
00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:08,200
You got it.
But.

988
00:52:08,780 --> 00:52:11,260
Where they give them more money
and they're like or not more

989
00:52:11,260 --> 00:52:14,340
money, but like you get access
to like, OK, now you get the

990
00:52:14,340 --> 00:52:17,660
good CGI because we have faith
in you because you did so well

991
00:52:17,660 --> 00:52:20,700
the first time.
Now we're gonna actually create

992
00:52:20,700 --> 00:52:22,900
a little dear person that's
gonna it's.

993
00:52:22,940 --> 00:52:23,740
Real.
Yeah, exactly.

994
00:52:25,220 --> 00:52:26,740
I would love that
bioengineering.

995
00:52:26,860 --> 00:52:30,140
Little cotton candy lover.
Oh, he likes cotton candy.

996
00:52:30,180 --> 00:52:32,020
That is so cute I can't stand
it.

997
00:52:32,100 --> 00:52:36,530
Very excited.
So yeah, So go watch it.

998
00:52:36,690 --> 00:52:38,810
It's so much fun.
Highly recommend.

999
00:52:38,850 --> 00:52:40,930
Yeah.
It's like I said, it's the most

1000
00:52:40,930 --> 00:52:44,130
fun I've had watching something
in a really long time that's

1001
00:52:44,130 --> 00:52:45,730
true.
Where I felt like a kid again,

1002
00:52:45,810 --> 00:52:48,930
in the best way possible, I
wanted to go on an adventure.

1003
00:52:48,930 --> 00:52:50,570
I feel like everybody can watch
it.

1004
00:52:50,730 --> 00:52:53,370
Like you could watch it with
your kids and you would get

1005
00:52:53,370 --> 00:52:55,250
enjoyment, your kids would get
enjoyment.

1006
00:52:55,250 --> 00:52:59,450
It's fun.
It's a wacky hilarity ensues.

1007
00:52:59,610 --> 00:53:02,330
Great story.
Cast is fantastic.

1008
00:53:03,330 --> 00:53:05,530

00:53:05,530 --> 00:53:08,250
