So let's just get the obvious out of the way

Every single thing involving Absalom, the Invisible Man, sucks ass

No two ways about it

It's a big part about why I just

I don't like Thriller Bark

We get Brook and he's Sanji 2
Awe
@awestriker
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 10:37 PM
Brook doesn’t feel like Sanji 2 to me
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 10:37 PM
honestly Brook is ALMOST fine
Awe
@awestriker
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 10:37 PM
also hard agree Absalom is terrible
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 10:37 PM
he just needs to stop asking people to show him their panties once per chapter
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 10:37 PM
this is iconic though

I think Thriller Bark is when I stopped reading one piece and that's a big reason why

-god its so flawless
Awe
@awestriker
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 10:38 PM
Can we talk about Mini-Merry for a second this was absolutely vital
EsperBot
@PikaBot
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 10:38 PM
It's not jsut Absalom who's terrible, every character who gets involved in Absalom's subplot comes out looking bad
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 10:38 PM
this part happens and it's terrible
Awe
@awestriker
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 10:38 PM
adorable!
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 10:38 PM
there's great stuff in here though I will admit
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 10:38 PM
the Laboon callback is inspired
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 10:38 PM
this whole sequence owns
EsperBot
@PikaBot
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 10:38 PM
I definitely agree that Brook would be better without the show-me-your-panties gag, but it's so perfunctory that I can't even get mad over it honestly
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 10:39 PM
Zoro gets to have an actual ungimmicky 1v1 sword fight
Awe
@awestriker
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 10:39 PM
I saved that page too with Luffy in the graveyard
EsperBot
@PikaBot
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 10:40 PM
Honestly I think Thriller Bark is great goofy fun
except
for that one bad part
EsperBot
@PikaBot
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 10:40 PM
but that one bad part is SO BAD
Awe
@awestriker
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 10:40 PM
Honestly Usopp vs Perona is one of my favorite parts of the stretch
Awe
@awestriker
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 10:40 PM
I
love
parallelism like this
EsperBot
@PikaBot
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 10:40 PM
Usopp and Perona is so good
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 10:41 PM
another thing Peter pointed out that's good in this arc
EsperBot
@PikaBot
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 10:41 PM
the fucking baloon hammer making its return
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 10:41 PM
is how first you get Usopp/Chopper/Nami going through all all the monsters
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 10:41 PM
and being menaced and screaming and running from shit
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 10:41 PM
then you get the exact same encounters but with Luffy, Zoro and Sanji
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 10:41 PM
just completely no-selling all of it
EsperBot
@PikaBot
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 10:42 PM
Yeah, that's quite good
EsperBot
@PikaBot
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 10:43 PM
Also, the idea of Thriller Bark itself, this weird haunted-house island that sails around foggy seas - is so rad
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 10:43 PM
honestly I get that there's all kinds of good shit in this arc, it just doesn't hit me well enough to make up for all the bad shit and I end up just wanting to get past it
Awe
@awestriker
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 10:43 PM
it’s very cool
EsperBot
@PikaBot
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 10:43 PM
Well, the good news is
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 10:43 PM
thriller bark doesn't work for me
EsperBot
@PikaBot
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 10:44 PM
we're past all the bad stuff now
Awe
@awestriker
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 10:44 PM
and I just realized something I hope isn’t a bad sign
EsperBot
@PikaBot
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 10:44 PM
It's just rad fight scenes from here on out
Awe
@awestriker
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 10:44 PM
so almost no one dies in One Piece, but the zombies are functionally mismatched dead bodies with other people’s shadows
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 10:45 PM
almost no one dies in the sense of characters getting removed from the story permanently
Awe
@awestriker
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 10:45 PM
I don’t know what that means for who sticks around for... whatever their equivalent of Eneru’s Moon Adventures are
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 10:46 PM
god
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win

I love Perona so much......
EsperBot
@PikaBot
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 10:48 PM
Anyway we should also probably talk about Banero Island since we left off on that last time
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 10:48 PM
This arc is where I began to suspect
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 10:48 PM
that Blackbeard is the Final Boss
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 10:48 PM
is he? I don't know, One Piece is still ongoing
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 10:49 PM
but I sure get that feeling
Princess Emily
@deerleisure
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 10:49 PM
i mean probably

I feel like there's some kind of... characterization still missing for him to be compelling as one
Niamh Vibes
@nerdiethings
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 10:50 PM
But there's time
EsperBot
@PikaBot

He's definitely going to be fought at some point

It does seem likely.

If not him then a government man
