The "Luffy gets stuck" plot point is so overlydone and evidence of poor writing

One Piece may very well be the king of "over using a plot point or joke 1000 times past it being funny". Every single arc, Luffy somehow manages to get stuck somewhere, for no reason other than plot convenience. Hell in Water 7/ Ennies Lobby it literally happens like 4 fucking times. I cant tell if One Piece constantly falling back on reused things from past episodes is just to keep up with weekly episodes, or if its just Oda's poor long-term story telling showing

Thoughts uwu?

I don't even remember it now XD... BTW if you into One piece read the coloured manga... The pacing and art is better than the anime

I knew it was gonna be you before even opening the thread. If you so dislike the plot of OP to the point of making several threads about how much it’s lacking, then honestly just drop it. It’s gonna do both you and us a favour. You don’t need to watch something you don’t like. Also you’re pretty early in the show, that’s where it was the funniest imo.

that whole arc was stuck in the one piece ๐Ÿ˜‚.
at least give a good example instead of the filler arc.
even though it's canon it doesn't have anything to like it and consider it as canon.

I think it’s more just that one piece is formulaic. That isn’t necessarily a bad thing but I understand why some people don’t like it

Shut up. I have seen you over and over again making these threads, if you don't like it stop making unnecessary threads.

Logic rules say I only need to show one arc example because of the every.
How about Baratie? Getting netted underwater because of a enemy hit is really a stretch to call "getting stuck". So is hungry, so is getting indebted.
How about best arc Syrup Village? Being hypnotized is a very creative way of "getting stuck".

^.^ Now sit out there and stop the nonsense.

I think Luffy gets stuck in the start of the story here and there because it's the simplest way to get him out of the main action. I don't mind it because keeping things from getting convoluted is good writing

The MC, especially in battle shounen, going missing is pretty common. They are the ones who can win/ trivialize fights against most opponents so the author (lazily) takes them out of the picture to either attempt to raise the stakes or just give other characters time to do stuff that might have plot significance. One piece has so many more problems than a pretty common theme throughout anime

This simple answer is the truth, the show is formulaic, and so many OP discussions could be more civil if thats accepted

Getting really tired of this "I've only seen 200 One Piece episodes but I'll continue to talk as if I know what happens in the other 800 episodes and make ridiculous and bold generalizations about the series as a whole" crap.

Luffy getting into situations that exclude him from the main plot is actually a good thing, because: a) it allows the other characters to do stuff without Luffy hogging the spotlight and b) it gives him time to figure out a new fighting technique and basically serves as off-screen training on some occasions.

he gets stuck in skypiea twice, jaya once, and so far in water 7 / ennies lobby 3 times. people act like after 300 episodes the author is just going to change things completely when that is obviously not the case. i dont think the idea alone of " him getting stuck " is whats problematic with the shows writing, but the fact that this is one of many dozens of things that is repeated over and over in arcs. the author doesnt take many risks when writing these arcs, he tends to just fall back on what has been safe in previous arcs.

who exactly up to episode 300 has gotten a spotlight when luffy is stock LMAOOO?? When hes stuck it normally just leads to the crew getting their ass kicked. Zoro always fights hard but loses, usopp runs away, and chopper gets knocked out.

Oda does that intentionally. Luffy is intentionally dense, Zoro loses his way every time he's alone, Sanji is obsessed with women, Nami is obsessed with money, Robin is obsessed with History, Chopper is bashful when he gets praised, Brook makes bone jokes every time, Franky says "super", Another character is obsessed with an important character in Wano, Usopp is a coward.

Is that all the straw hats? Ooh forgot one more. I don't think he has been in the straw hats long enough for him to have his own permanent character trait.

Call it what you want but you're going to have to push through these instances of "poor writing" in your One piece watching escapade because it's going to be evident in every arc.
