Lego Jar Jar Binks

@BarelyMemorable I truly believe the creators' ideas and concepts were too grand for a show of this size and runtime so everything comes out either half baked, rushed, unearned, unnecessary, or a combination of all of these.

@binks_legoman I agree with this completely, it’s definitely a show that wants to have its cake and eat it too

Adam should’ve been a religious zealot rather than an annoying frat boy. Him sticking strictly to the rules of the Bible and twisting that to make himself feel less like a monster would’ve slapped, but Viv is too cowardly

@khalidxvi @MarkIsDaGoat Not to mention that all the Oden stuff she pulls right in front of people who personally knew him and some of them still grieve him mind you (his own damn son for example) really doesn't pain Yamato in the best light, even if we know the reason behind that.

@binks_legoman @MarkIsDaGoat Identity, wanos main theme, through the lens of a trans man and somebody who grew up under and fighting against the ideology of the antagonist.

The real final straw hat and overall great character. 0 complaints

@khalidxvi @MarkIsDaGoat It felt rather weak considering how deep into the arc we already were, like what you mentioned were about Yamato so the assumption is I would start caring for her in that amount of time.

@MarkIsDaGoat @khalidxvi Lilith ain't a permanent addition to the crew though, is she? Also Usopp's bravery has been on display a lot of times, as far as his dream is going, his is the most realistic given how much he's accomplished already. What would Yamato contribute to the crew besides strength?

@binks_legoman @khalidxvi Yeah, but I would love to see Usopp accomplish his dreams of becoming a brave warrior of the sea—like he’s always wanted. Seeing them run around for 15+ years can get pretty boring for the reader. I feel like Yamato would be a much better addition than fucking Lilith at least.

@MarkIsDaGoat @khalidxvi They've all had their moments to shine. The only people who are actually weak are Nami and Usopp and that's their whole point. They all pull their own weight and contribute to the fights to some degree.

@binks_legoman @khalidxvi Mb for wanting to see a yonko crew, actually fight like a yonko crew. It’s just the monster trio show now, you might as well add an another strong fighter to break that dynamic, and make fights with the straw hats more interesting to watch.

@MarkIsDaGoat @khalidxvi They did improve though, apparently that's not enough for you I guess.

@binks_legoman @khalidxvi Then he should have never created 3d2y if nobody was going to improve. This is not an excuse.

@MarkIsDaGoat @khalidxvi The Straw Hats were never about being the strongest fighting force. I'm tired of this stupid shounen logic that everyone needs to get exponentially stronger, because One Piece never had good power scaling, the story is what makes the crew endearing, not whether Usopp will solo

@binks_legoman @khalidxvi I just need another strong combatant to be in the straw hats. They’re so fraudulent now that watching them fight feels hard to watch. They need a strong combatant on the crew, and Yamato is the perfect guy to fix their lack of fighting power.

@MarkIsDaGoat @khalidxvi Frankly I don't really care for the discourse. Yamato is an Oden larper and not a trans person, but if you see her story as such then I don't really mind as long as you're not insufferable abt it.

@binks_legoman @khalidxvi I said she on accident, I’m tired bro.

@MarkIsDaGoat @khalidxvi Look, for all the screentime and attention she got, what you mentioned above really doesn't justify it. Wano already has a shit ton of interesting and intriguing characters that are connected to Oden and also had a past with Ace, she's like Carrot in a sense, relatively irrelevan

@binks_legoman @khalidxvi She had Oden’s journal, and gave us more insight on Ace. I think she was a decent character that will join the strawhats, and fully develop on their crew.

@MarkIsDaGoat @khalidxvi Except*

@MarkIsDaGoat @khalidxvi What does she serve narratively that other characters couldn't have? If you remove her from the story, there's no hole in the plot expect that one practical use she had with stalling Kaido, bravo 👏

@MarkIsDaGoat @khalidxvi Yamato is the most whatever character of all time. Doesn't even serve a unique purpose in the Raid on Onigashima.

@khalidxvi U forgot him 😔

@SharpeTyre67798 @BarelyMemorable Literally anything but making him into another insult slinging problematic comedy relief.

@SharpeTyre67798 @BarelyMemorable I don't rly agree that he should be like Pucci in a sense that he needs to be complex, but there has to be a reason for his character being the way it is, let him genuinely believe in his cause or explain that his long life has turned him bitter and indifferent towards humanity.

@khalidxvi @ButterflyCujoh Is it that unreasonable to recognize the tragedy of both characters? Yes Senor Pink was the main reason for his own suffering and he severely screwed over Russian by lying through his teerh and starting a family on a fake foundation... Sorry I think I lost my train of thought

@ButterflyCujoh Niggas would rather talk about “senor pink”😹😹😹😹😹😹😹👎🏾 baby 5 is mad underrated she was a small highlight of Dressrosa in my eyes.

Baby 5 hides severe abandonment issues behind comedy, and people overlook how tragic she actually is.

@LuffyVL_56 To be fair, strength and ambition are very attractive on a person. Not to mention the fact that Hancock fell for him because he is genuinely a kind hearted person.

Just a reminder that Luffy is canonically handsome

@SharpeTyre67798 @BarelyMemorable Not to mention having actually morally questionable main characters.

@binks_legoman @BarelyMemorable Hazbin Hotel is definition of potential show and sidenote it’s crazy when you realize Jojo bizarre adventure has more biblical themes and how it handles good and evil characters and what they represent and it’s a peak anime with really good storytelling and characters

@ThatoneQueen3 @_GoofballMcgee Jesus it's a character that has a similar role to Ellen, none of the tadc characters are one-to-one adaptations of their ihnmaims counterparts. The complaints about the creators being racist are valid, but a fucking Raggedy Ann doll being white is a nothingburger.

@_GoofballMcgee Ellen still is a black character and whitewashing the archetype is still racist, not taking racism seriously which is what goose has been doing is still racist, and saying “guys I’m not racist” and making a joke afterwards doesn’t mean you aren’t racist. 💀

Knowing she was based on Ellen from I Have No Mouth only makes me uncomfortable with the way this show handles her. ESP after the cast and goose started acting like THAT.

@angele_midnight @jib_loger_alt You see all this and say "holy shit Kesha furry OC that's also a bee", not to mention the toxic ass colors. It's an eyesore in more ways than you'd think.

@angele_midnight @jib_loger_alt Just because there's an explanation for every single design choice, it doesn't make these design choices good or coherent when put together. You see all this and you don't really think "oh she's a fennec fox because Cerberus guarded the gates of Gluttony"
