One Piece Embarrasses Modern Writers

After 3 long years, One Piece Season 2 Live Action has arrived on Netflix. And if you watch this show, it should make you angry. You should experience some kind of visceral emotion upon watching, not only this season but also this live-action series. One Piece season 2 is the clearest example in modern entertainment of how to adapt a beloved property for a new audience without betraying the one that already exists. Nearly every other major adaptation in the last decade has failed to accomplish this. Disney Star Wars alienated and belittled original fans to chase a unicorn audience that did not exist. Rings of Power rewrote Tolkien for people who had never read Tolkien and insulted the ones who had. Doctor Who under Chibnall abandoned its own identity. The live-action Disney remakes strip the soul out of the originals and sell the husk back at full price. Hollywood’s pattern, and to a much larger extent modern-day writers in general, has been consistent in their bastardizations: take a legacy property, discard what made it valuable to the people who built the fanbase, repackage it for a hypothetical unicorn audience, and lose both. One Piece should make you angry because it does the opposite, honoring the original creations and if you’re not a lore master of the anime, as I am not—I am not a lore master of the One Piece anime or manga—then you also get to experience stories and characters that feel original, hopeful, and, moreover, satisfying. This show is built to honor the original anime and manga fans while simultaneously functioning as a funnel entry point for people who would never sit through a thousand episodes of an anime. Both audiences are served by the same product to the best extent this team can do it. Is it a perfect one-to-one clone of the anime? No, of course not. But comparing the series to the anime is like saying the book did it better than the movie, which is a refreshing thing to say when we’re talking about both being good. One Piece on Netflix should make you angry because it has never been more clear that modern Hollywood writers are no longer capable of telling original compelling stories on their own that include earnest and sincere characters, featuring narratives that have only one job: Entertain audiences. • • • Try the Wizard's Hot Cocoa https://FakeWizard.com • • • Discover NEW Games from Indie Developers Visit https://FakePortal.com • • • Indie Game Shoutouts are provided solely for informational/editorial purposes and are not sponsored, endorsed, or otherwise paid for; Fake Portal is offered as a free resource.
