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

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.

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?

that whole arc was stuck in the one piece 😂.
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

he got stuck in a cage in orange town (clown guy) and he lost direction in syrup village (with the pirates and usopp) and in baratie it took a long time for him to get away from the headchef. i like the series myself so im just showing examples not hating on it

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.

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.

I was talking about Jimbei. I didn't want to potentially spoil you but it seems like you know alot of characters that have definitely not been introduced by episode 253

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

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