BROOK FLASH BACK

BROOK FLASH BACK

BROOK FLASH BACK

i respect the fact you sent me an ask despite the fact ive accidentally not updated this blog for well over a year. sorry everyone i got into horror podcast and mc pig.

anyway, to actually answer your question... i honestly don't know! i think i prefer pre-timeskip Luffy, bc i generally think its more fun when hes more noodley and less muscular...

dont get me wrong, im not opposed to muscular Luffy, esp since It Definitely Makes Sense for him to look strong, but i rlly enjoy the unsuspecting underdog thing pre-ts Luffy had going on

and like, wano's fun, the art's gorgeous, im rlly enjoying it, but every time Luffy takes his shirt off and hes fucking shredded im like who is this what have you done with my son. there are panels from the prison bit in wano where Luffy looks like his head has been photoshopped onto another person's body and it makes me feel insane

i DO rlly like the big fuckin X scar from post TS tho. scars improve character design 100%. like sabo designs where ppl give him like full body burn scars? top tier

but not like, too early pre-timeskip. some of the really early arcs everyone's ears are rlly far down their faces and im not a fan o that. like later pre-ts i suppose?

you know, i think my favorite Luffy might be 3d2y special Luffy? lean muscle rather than weirdly shredded. also, the jacket's fun, and i do love character designs with lots of bandages

i thought he was pretty good! i loved his inclusion in the live action. i was losing my mind in excitement waiting to see him when watching with my parents and i was ver thrilled every second he was on screen

for things that surprised me: i'm noticing that OPLA isn't doing the absurd heights for humans who aren't giants, and seeing Brook and Yorki the same height was jarring. the way he sang was also really interesting to me—i said before i was surprised by how deep his voice was, since smth that always stands out to me about Brook is he's got a higher voice. he also didn't really sing binks sake w the inflection im used to people singing it? he paused or didn't hold notes in spots the song usually does. none of these are bad but i did notice em when he was on screen as not being what i expected!

for things i liked: his costume ruled. loved the look for him. the scene of him singing to laboon was so fuckin cute. he def looks like Brook and how id picture him. i was delighted the whole time he was on screen and i was sad when he wasn't. him and yorki were rlly fun

which, related, i rlly liked yorki. he looked like... a frat boy. a male model. a ken doll. i don't know if im saying these as compliments? great casting

i have not! i read the legal releases. i caught up to one piece back in 2013, and every pirating site i used to read it is gone now, as are all the sites i switched to when my OG died. ive given up the hassle of piracy for now

honestly i was half hoping they wouldn't ever show us his eyes, but it's also very fun to see them so im not complaining

he's. definitely going to have that scar by the end of the flashback tho, i'm sure. i wonder if gunko/shuri was the one who gave it to him? i have to assume so with what information we currently have, though obviously i have no idea if we'll see more people become demonically possessed besides her

i liked egghead a lot! i liked the amount of exposition we got in egghead, the whole announcement from vegapunk broadcasted to the world was really sick and i can’t wait to see what comes from it. it really feels like the end of the series is coming, which is crazy considering ive been following it for 12 years now

(i read the manga and rarely watch the anime or even know where it is, so if this is related to a recent anime episode, i don’t get the reference)
