One Piece (2023)
For a live adaptation great work but it isn't for me
The live adaptation is a breath of fresh air for old one piece fans and great to start for new one piece fans.
But this show just isn't for me,I like one piece for the humour,the fight scenes,the plot and the emotional pick me up scenes.
This has only the plot with many characters cut out which is fine I guess but they forgot the humour and pivotal fight scenes ..
For example luffy fight with arlong needs to be a bit longer,luffy fight with don Krieg should have been present since it shows luffy's guts and is one of the main reasons why sanji believes in luffy's strength.just a few examples
I don't mind more of this since I am a big fan of one piece but cutting out character arcs about why the main characters are the way they are will bite the showrunners in the long run.
Anyway decent binge watch but not for me.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022)
Black panther 2 was just ok
Black panther started with covering Chadwicks death. It was very respectful and the director covered it so well but the movie itself was very mediocre and boring. I feel the plot had elements which were good,I liked the idea of a new race,the villain,the introduction of Mayan gods in the MCU.the characters growth each of them,it was good.
But the movie made me feel sad and bored to be honest and I will tell you why.
They chose to cover Chadwicks death and later the queen dies,too much death in a single movie.
They made the choice to make Shuri the black panther,which was a very poor choice in my opinion. Shuri was introduced as a tech savy genius character ,she didn't possess the charisma for a role like that. She still felt like a sidekick for the main character.i am not against woman being a black panther but whoever dons the suit must be able to have the charisma.i liked black panther because Chadwick had that with the way he delivered monologues to the way he was ,God rest his soul but choosing her was a bad choice
The movie was very long and the buildup was very slow. Even the monologue at the end "vegeance has consumed you and I am done letting it consume me" which was delivered by Chadwick in civil war could have been used here...such a good opportunity but wasted.
Even the cgi was boring,the Ironman suit looked so ugly there.
There was barely any fight scenes and the movie was just depressing all around
I get why it's getting such high praise from critics and all but this movie isn't a fun movie for the average person.
The MCU is slowly going to lose their fanbase at this rate with Thor and now this.
Anyway all good things must end I suppose.
