brendan:

Alright, You're probably wondering why we're clapping guys.

bailey:

Well, one reason why we're clapping.

brendan:

There's one reason and there's only one piece, and that's what we're going to be talking about. The one piece live action. Sorry, this is late, but also not sorry because We've watched all of it. We're going to talk about all of it. We soaked. We soaked into one piece live action.

bailey:

Simit.

brendan:

Simit in it. Yep, thought about it, yep, went through it, yep, you know, because sometimes you watch something and you're like that was amazing, and then you watch it again and you're like oh, that was my nerd bias. Yeah so we waited, guys, and here we are.

bailey:

Once again.

brendan:

One piece live action review is here, so let's get straight into it, bro.

bailey:

Let's get fork and crackin'. Yeah, let's get right into it, let's get right into it.

brendan:

What did you think of Episode 1?

bailey:

Episode 1. Episode 1. Like, honestly, it was good, it was good, it was good. Yeah, my favorite part was obviously when Alveda gets straight up, clapped, pistach, knocked out bro.

brendan:

Yeah, that was.

bailey:

Oh, I liked that. I enjoyed it. I don't know Kobe's actor for me, wasn't it, bro, you know?

brendan:

what man Wasn't it? I kind of agree.

bailey:

Yeah.

brendan:

But then again, does that make him a good Kobe actor, because I didn't like Kobe in the anime At the start. Guys, yeah.

bailey:

Like the first episode. Yeah, awesome, like I get it. Kobe's a little pussy, little nerd, little dork, little dweeb.

brendan:

Yeah, first episode.

bailey:

Yeah.

brendan:

Kobe's a bit on the edge, bit of a pussy On the edge. Oh, it's a series, guys.

bailey:

Yeah, it's a series. Yeah, and I think the thing for me was that he didn't change much. No, but he hasn't really had a reason to yet. No, but like His extra story. Oh yeah, I wasn't here for it.

brendan:

No, I wasn't here for it.

bailey:

I get why they did it.

brendan:

Let's talk about the elephant in the room.

bailey:

Yeah.

brendan:

There was a lot of Navy. There was a lot of Navy or the first season guys.

bailey:

Yeah.

brendan:

There was a lot of Navy.

bailey:

Yeah.

brendan:

And some of it worked.

bailey:

Yeah, I thought some of it worked.

brendan:

And I thought some of it was just a bit like it felt like one piece filler yeah.

bailey:

Garps, and really not in it that much in the beginning.

brendan:

Yeah, yeah but yeah. Yeah, but I think it works though it works.

bailey:

Yeah, it was good to have like more than just Luffy and his crew.

brendan:

Don't you think, watching it like as a one piece fan, they were kind of giving us stuff that you find out later?

bailey:

Way later, but you're good as a one piece fan. You're like oh yeah, yeah.

brendan:

And it's like you don't find that out until like ages.

bailey:

Yeah, it was nice.

brendan:

You know you also got to think like, is this engaging new people? And I think a lot of new people liked it.

bailey:

I think so too. I think there was enough buildup for Garp with Luffy for that moment where Luffy says oh, grandpa that it was shocking. Yeah, I think it was a bit like whoa. Were you serious? I don't know.

brendan:

Everyone that's watched it, like my father-in-law watched it.

bailey:

Yeah.

brendan:

And he was like Garp's, Luffy's grandfather, and I was like yeah, yeah. But it's like so, like known yeah.

bailey:

It is yeah.

brendan:

But yeah, to people they're like oh shit, that's like a pretty good compelling thing, you know, because it's different. You got to remember as a one piece fan. Remember that people haven't experienced it before. So this is a whole new world to them, and they're discovering it for the first time. So I think the way they went with it was probably a good way to keep the story without it being too not understandable.

bailey:

Yeah To everywhere, if that makes sense, definitely. It was a good way to keep you on track with the story, with how Garp was going.

brendan:

Yeah, yeah, they still kept it quite linear, you know yeah, it was a bit strange that he's going after Luffy though. Yeah, definitely.

bailey:

Like he just honestly, he just rocks up in the grand line, busts down the fucking door and gives Luffy a beating, and then that's when it's revealed and that's way later. That's like after Kobe has his like fucking glow up. Kobe and Helm Epo have their full on glow up on the grand line.

brendan:

Although I do I do like the Garp actor. I did too, and I liked the accent he went for.

bailey:

Yeah, I liked it, the accent that they had for Garp Great.

brendan:

And I enjoy the interactions between Garp and Kobe. I actually I thought it worked.

bailey:

I thought Garp, yeah, garp really carried that, he carried that.

brendan:

But I expect that man.

bailey:

Yeah.

brendan:

He's probably a seasoned actor. Yeah, I think, kobe.

bailey:

Definitely To be fair.

brendan:

Also, I don't know if Kobe's Australian, but, man, I could sense a bit of Aussie accent.

bailey:

A little Aussie, twang A little Aussie twang.

brendan:

Yeah, definitely you know the Kobe voice.

bailey:

I like that. They didn't really like, they didn't really stray from who the person was.

brendan:

You know what I mean.

bailey:

Like they didn't really force the person to take on an accent that wasn't theirs. Yeah, because sometimes that can be even worse. Very detrimental to a film, yeah, especially when it goes in and out.

brendan:

Yeah, and you're like oh, that's changed.

bailey:

Like you see, yeah, that's different, yeah.

brendan:

So yeah, anyways, we sound negative guys, but first of all we should say we liked it guys.

bailey:

We loved it. I loved it.

brendan:

And we will give you the review at the end of our talk. Official Rod and Bromados.

bailey:

Rod and Bromados. Rod and Bromados for that Hell yeah.

brendan:

It's going to come. Thanks, enid for so much we liked it. We just gotta give our honest reactions on everything Because the good thing about something not being perfect is that it can improve if there is a season 2. 100% At the moment I'm thinking there's a high.

bailey:

There definitely has to be a fucking season 2. Well, we'll get to it later.

brendan:

This is well received We'll get to it later of how well it's doing. So yeah, episode 1, we get to see Luffy come up higher. Actually, do you know? I liked how you got to see him get in the barrel.

bailey:

Yeah, I liked that too. I actually really liked that yeah.

brendan:

Because you don't see that.

bailey:

He's just in a barrel. He's just in a barrel, but I'm like oh, that's such a Luffy thing to do. Yeah, oh, my ship's sinking. I might just jump in a barrel Because it's gonna float, because it's always gonna die. Yeah, no, that was good. That was good. That was a little touch I liked.

brendan:

Yeah, so that's a positive guy there you go a little positive, A little positive. But then Actually we'll start with positive stuff.

bailey:

First Elvira's actress was amazing.

brendan:

She did awesome.

bailey:

She did awesome. Yeah, she was so good. I really liked her.

brendan:

She was probably better than the anime character, to be honest.

bailey:

Yeah, yeah, and when you first see her, yeah, definitely.

brendan:

She had way more to do, and she did well.

bailey:

She looked intimidating, she did. She looked scary, she definitely did.

brendan:

But I want to give it up to Inaki. A lot of pressure on a dude that's not acted much.

bailey:

Yeah.

brendan:

And dude in the first episode I was like you know what Dude's got heart.

bailey:

Yeah, he does. Dude's got the Luffy heart Quite, yeah, and as long as he had that little.

brendan:

You know like I believed him that he wanted to be king of pirates. I was like I'm down, and then went on the ride with him. So first episode impressions of Luffy I thought were really good.

bailey:

What was your thoughts? Yeah, I thought they were really good. Yeah, yeah, I'm going to be king of the pirates. I'm going to be king of the pirates.

brendan:

Yeah, that's it. I knew you'd know how to do it. Yeah, smile man, great smile.

bailey:

Yeah, he does. I thought, yeah, he was very, he meshed well with his character. But also not to take away from the fact that, Like he also made Luffy his own, you know what I mean, and I enjoyed that.

brendan:

Yeah, I enjoyed that too.

bailey:

Like he didn't just go for what we see, what we know as fans of the anime. He kind of just put his own little spin on a lot of things and I quite enjoyed it.

brendan:

I liked it, yeah, Because it would have been a bit cringe if he went all the way. Yeah, if he went all the way.

bailey:

There's a lot of. I know if he was in.

brendan:

Tropic Thunder. I'm not going to say the line, but you know the line I'm talking about. Yeah, you don't go all the way, you never go full.

bailey:

You never go full, you never go full. He is cold. Yeah, just a little bit. Just a little bit is enough, yeah.

brendan:

And I think Anaki did a really good job, considering coming into the show.

bailey:

Yeah.

brendan:

That was the part I was most worried about because it's Luffy Like the show is literally about Luffy pretty much.

bailey:

Yeah.

brendan:

And if he didn't hit it would have been hard to get through the whole show.

bailey:

So I think he did a good job with how much pressure was on him.

brendan:

So he clapped Anaki man, good job. And then we have the other two. Where else that takes us to? Let's talk about Zoro. So we meet Zoro. Yeah, um, really liked how we got to see him kill the Brogues. That was gangster.

bailey:

Number seven, that was so gangster man, and he like had a full-on sword fight too. Like far he had a full-on sword fight.

brendan:

That was sick. That was a great way to introduce Zoro. Yeah, and fans to the practical side of it.

bailey:

How sexy is Makenyu.

brendan:

How sexy is Makenyu. Come on, man, goddamn, he might be the cook of the kitchen, because you're cooking everyone.

bailey:

He was cooking everyone.

brendan:

Shit.

bailey:

When I seen him I was like, oh my god.

brendan:

So I'm gonna get a thermometer, yeah.

bailey:

And like, even when he like, when he put on his bandana, I was even more badass For me man, like, oh damn Like the visuals that these men were putting on in the show.

brendan:

They did well.

bailey:

Exceptional.

brendan:

Very well.

bailey:

Yeah, he did a great job.

brendan:

I love the rice ball scene. It's a bit different, but I still enjoyed it.

bailey:

I enjoyed it, so same feeling to it.

brendan:

Yeah, a little different the punishment that he got, but I get it that it has to be all condensed into the introduction between him, nami and Luffy. All like having one episode, so they could kind of get ahead.

bailey:

Yeah, well, there's Nami there in the original. No, she's not, is she no? But?

brendan:

I really enjoyed how she was.

bailey:

I liked how she was there and how the little moment, like the point of her being there, was quite good Same.

brendan:

I was like that fits Nami, that's only Nami for sure.

bailey:

Like that's the point. Yeah, yeah, that's what she's after. Yeah, that's what she's after. So why?

brendan:

not condense it into one episode.

bailey:

Chuck her in there.

brendan:

I thought that was a good decision.

bailey:

Yeah, I will say, though this just leads me onto one of my negatives, like my main negative points of this show.

brendan:

In general. In general, yeah, okay.

bailey:

Yeah, was like for me watching the anime. Luffy was someone that not only had the Captain qualities, that everyone kind of followed him because he's hilarious, he's fun to be around, he's believable, like you believe in what he says, but it's the actions that he does that makes you believe in him. That's it. Yeah, you know what I mean. Yeah, that wasn't there for me.

brendan:

Yeah.

bailey:

You know what I mean.

brendan:

Not yet yeah.

bailey:

Like for every character that he well, actually, mainly it's just Zoro.

brendan:

Yeah, I know the scene you're talking about. Yeah, yeah, I know the scene you're talking about.

bailey:

Like I don't know why.

brendan:

They changed that part.

bailey:

Yeah, and how it's not. It's really not that hard to do that scene, to put that in.

brendan:

I don't know why they did that. Yeah, like if you're not, yeah, If you've watched this here, guys, spoilers, but not really spoilers like the animation out for years. Yeah, yeah, but there's a scene where this is later down in the season, if you haven't watched One Piece live action, but it's the mehawk vs Zoro fight, yeah, zoro loses.

bailey:

Yeah.

brendan:

Pretty much claims his allegiance to Luffy until he becomes the best sword fighter.

bailey:

Yeah.

brendan:

In the world. Anyways, he's injured and in the anime Luffy goes Zoro. He says to Zoro I need you right.

bailey:

Yeah.

brendan:

And it's just like a blank, like kind of eyes down, serious toned, like I need you. And then Zoro pretty much just goes. He's made his promise before he went asleep, so yeah which is bad. I know what you mean. Yeah, it's pretty close.

bailey:

Well, like another main thing was that he didn't save Zoro.

brendan:

Yeah, you know what I mean. Yeah, he was just yeah. Yeah, he didn't battle for a bit yeah.

bailey:

And like that's the thing with Zoro, the reason why he gives his undying you know everything to Luffy was the fact that he was on death row. He had the firing squad on him. Luffy comes down with his swords, stops all the bullets, saves Zoro's life. So Zoro's like well, I owe you my life, I'm going to go with you.

brendan:

And Luffy was outmatched.

bailey:

Yeah.

brendan:

He's at that stage. Luffy is so outmatched by me Hawk.

bailey:

Yeah.

brendan:

I don't think he would have stood a chance back then.

bailey:

No, no way.

brendan:

So me Hawk's battles.

bailey:

Yeah, yeah, anyways, yeah.

brendan:

So I understand that part. Yeah, but I think you'll leave room for him to go in the future. Yeah, or just that he didn't Lead by example.

bailey:

Yeah, like that, you know, Like the way that they got the crew in, it wasn't really a thing. I think the Nami they did it with Nami yeah.

brendan:

I think they did it at least with that. I thought he did it because that was the scene I wanted like the, just the look like like I need help, and he was just like yeah, puts the hat down.

bailey:

Yeah, that's one of my favorite scenes in the whole show. Yeah, they did it with Nami. They did it with Usopp. You know, he fought Kuro.

brendan:

Yeah, so it's just the scene with Zoro. He wanted, you wanted, to step up.

bailey:

It's just the scene with Zoro Like to get his first mate. It's not going to be just, oh, let's escape together. And then oh, let's over unrecorded.

brendan:

I wonder why I made that decision.

bailey:

I love you. You're my, you're my captain now.

brendan:

I thought Nami lingered a lot in that scene too.

bailey:

Both.

brendan:

A lot, anyways, getting negative again. Yeah, getting negative guys, but positive.

bailey:

That's my main.

brendan:

Yeah, that's the main.

bailey:

That's my main thing that I had wrong with the show. You know, everything else was fucking exceptional.

brendan:

I loved a lot of it. Yeah, as we did, we clapped to the front guys.

bailey:

Good yeah, because we loved it, we loved it. But you want to hear our negatives so you can agree. Yes, you know what I mean, that's what you want, and hopefully.

brendan:

Maybe people out there creating the show want fans to show what they didn't like.

bailey:

Yeah.

brendan:

About the show, Because then guess what guys they can improve the next season, which is going to happen.

bailey:

I'm not being, I'm not having any animosity about it, like I'm not angry.

brendan:

We liked a lot more than we hated. Yeah, we're just yeah, we just we didn't even hate about the show. We just, yeah, would prefer Preferences. Yeah, that's it. There we go.

bailey:

Preferences of what we would have.

brendan:

Yeah, I don't know Some people like Pepsi, some people like Coke. That's it. There we go, problem solved.

bailey:

Cherry Calamari. I love calamari, I know you do Wee sis Damn seafood Freak. Sorry for podcast Listeners that would have sounded a bit disgusting. Asmr baby, hey baby.

brendan:

So we've kind of skipped ahead, but we're just going to we're just going to merge into one. So episode one great introduction. I was like yep.

bailey:

Yeah.

brendan:

Sign me up, baby.

bailey:

Keen.

brendan:

Watch the next episode straight away.

bailey:

Bang bang.

brendan:

So let's just go through introductions. You got to see, I thought Gordon, sorry, what's his name?

bailey:

Morgan.

brendan:

Morgan, sorry Morgan.

bailey:

Well done, well done, well done.

brendan:

We'll skip through them a little bit. Yeah, morgan, morgan. Uh, beppo was annoying, hell meppo. Oh bro, he was so annoying I loved him, but that's good.

bailey:

Yeah, no, in a good way. Yeah, Like I saw him and I was like I loved hell meppo. I was like dude, you're so annoying. He was so fucking hilarious man, the whole show.

brendan:

Well, the naked scene was weird.

bailey:

That was funny, as because it was like. He was like he was sexually arousing himself With.

brendan:

Zoro's sword.

bailey:

With Zoro's sword and that was so funny.

brendan:

That was a bit awkward.

bailey:

Yeah, yeah, he did good, yeah he did good, but let's just go through all the all the kind of side characters.

brendan:

Yeah.

bailey:

I don't want to talk. We won't talk about buggy. Buggy was, was, was.

brendan:

Buggy, I'll leave you.

bailey:

But but he's right here, man Great, he looked good, he looked apart, he was menacing Kind of enough Enough, it's hard to look menacing in one piece live actually. Yeah, fuck Kuro, great, great, great that dude holy shit, that dude, amazing Dude. Actually, we'll leave the villains to the side. Yeah, okay, kuro's crew, great yeah, especially after they go back into their costumes.

brendan:

Dude, I thought that was gonna look campy, but it worked.

bailey:

Damn. It looks so good. Why did it?

brendan:

work. Yeah, I was like watching this guy, like I don't care.

bailey:

Like this dude, this dude with the bald patch, and then like the girls, like fuck, he looks so good.

brendan:

Man Kaya Dude the oh man, it's so good.

bailey:

Oh, kaya was great, kaya was great.

brendan:

They gave her more.

bailey:

Yeah.

brendan:

But it gave the character's room.

bailey:

Gave more depth. Yeah, gave more depth to her as a person too.

brendan:

I felt in that little arc. Let's call it an arc.

bailey:

Yeah, because kind of an arc, I guess it's pretty much an arc.

brendan:

I thought she got more, but she brought more out of each character.

bailey:

She did.

brendan:

Well, I guess Luffy was okay by then.

bailey:

We were kind of we were already sold on Luffy. Yeah.

brendan:

He doesn't really have those emotions.

bailey:

It was mainly Nami.

brendan:

Yeah, and you it's a good like. Oh, how does Nami think?

bailey:

Yeah.

brendan:

And you get that with that conversation with her.

bailey:

I feel like, with Kaya and Nami, that conversation they had, that was kind of like the first moment of Nami realising that she is, you know, good enough to have friends.

brendan:

Yeah.

bailey:

And like people aren't all bad.

brendan:

Yeah, not all people yeah.

bailey:

Like she had the inkling with the straw hat. Like the crew that she was, you know Zoro and Luffy she was hanging around them a lot.

brendan:

Yep.

bailey:

But I think after that conversation with Kaya it was kind of like oh, like the world's a big place, the world's a big place, people can be different, yeah yeah.

brendan:

Everything is what you think, yeah, which I really like.

bailey:

Because I love that Going off tangent again. I loved the fact that Luffy just kept doing good things and people kept asking me you're a pirate like blah blah blah?

brendan:

Yeah.

bailey:

I'm not that kind of pirate.

brendan:

Yeah, I like that too. I love that. I like that too, I love that.

bailey:

I thought that was exceptional. I'm not that kind of pirate. Yeah, I'm not that kind of pirate.

brendan:

I'm not that kind of pirate yeah, I love that.

bailey:

I thought that was sick. I actually liked his voice. Man, yeah, because of infections Nami. Like he actually made me smile. Yeah, I thought he was definitely funny.

brendan:

He's so good man.

bailey:

God, that was good. Yeah, yeah, great scene. I like that arc. Oh, fuck me, Lucky Rue. They did a race change, so Lucky Rue was. He's obviously an overweight white man in the anime, but in the live action he was, you know.

brendan:

Oh, you're talking about Shanks crew. Yeah, shanks crew. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, lucky Rue. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

bailey:

They changed him into, like an African, a man of African descent, anyway.

brendan:

And it worked.

bailey:

So good.

brendan:

Yeah.

bailey:

So good yeah.

brendan:

Oh he was.

bailey:

He was, oh man, when he was like beating the shit out of that dude with his fucking piece of meat.

brendan:

Yeah.

bailey:

Oh God, that was hilarious. And they did the whole shoot scene, which is one of the most badass moments in the original One Piece. Yeah Was when Shanks is like, yeah, like, if you're going to hold your gun up at me like, you better be ready to put your life on the line.

brendan:

And they're like shut up Boom death.

bailey:

That's the first death in One Piece. The first murder in One Piece was done by Lucky Rue.

brendan:

True.

bailey:

Yeah.

brendan:

And in live action it's Zoro.

bailey:

Yeah, In live action it's Zoro yeah. Yeah, but I guess technically Technically yeah, Time wise speak yeah Lots of people broke up murder beforehand. A lot of people have been murdered in the picture. There's a lot of murder in the picture and, yeah, if you're talking about like first death, it's Goldie Roger.

brendan:

Come on, son, yeah, oh let's talk about Goldie Roger bro.

bailey:

He was great. He was great. I liked it. I liked him, I really liked him. I was worried when I saw him on the trailer.

brendan:

Yeah, same, I was like I don't know if it's his face, but then, seeing him play it out, I was like, nah, he's got the charisma.

bailey:

He's got it. Yeah, he had the vibe and I was like I was kind of pissed off that he didn't do the whole. I've left it all in One Piece. Yeah, you know.

brendan:

That's like. Then I kind of liked that. That's when he like got me pumped. What he said, yeah, I did, I got pumped from that Take to the sea. I was like, oh yeah, I want to be a pirate. I want to be a pirate, yeah, I want to do that which is the goal Great yeah.

bailey:

So yeah, yes so great. Ben Beckman mid.

brendan:

Right, that's been a big topic in the community.

bailey:

I don't know, you know what's funny bro.

brendan:

I didn't even notice him. Yeah, no, sir, I didn't even notice Ben, I was like cuz, he just looks, he looks normal, but in the in the anime. I know fuck.

bailey:

Yeah, he looks badass. He's good like that cigar in his mouth, fucking scar.

brendan:

But maybe they didn't find an actor for him.

bailey:

Yet Well too, like honestly, I'm gonna be fair on being on the plane. The guy did great in his action scenes. Yes they're dying like he did great and like he had the look, but it was the face.

brendan:

for me, yeah, he looks like you know he looked like over a middle-aged man.

bailey:

Yeah, you know what I mean. Yeah, which I'm sorry. I'm sorry, man, like I'm happy for you.

brendan:

But he's gonna age with shanks.

bailey:

Yeah, he's got a age with shanks. Yeah, and shanks was supposed to be like in his fucking 20s back then.

brendan:

Yeah, should we go? Should we go into it, since we're already there? Should do some shanks, shanks. What are you, what are your thoughts?

bailey:

on get lost, get lost.

brendan:

Luffy.

bailey:

Yeah. I love it dude, I love them, I love them, I absolutely. I thought he was except like I'm been using this word a lot, but he was fucking exceptional.

brendan:

Yeah, I, here's amazing. I was like I don't know what it was, Ben, but it's got Colin Farrell vibes.

bailey:

Yeah, I got Colin Farrell Well you said that to me before I started watching it and immediately I was like, oh my god, it's fucking Alexander the Great. Yeah, I was. Yeah, I love Colin Farrell.

brendan:

Yeah, he's good man and he delivered like that he did some people don't like it, but I'm like guys, he's not that shanks yet. Yeah, like the shanks you think, yet you know now, right, like shanks that goes, luffy's a yonko and goes smiles like that's not staunch looking. That's not this shanks.

bailey:

That's not this, shanks, he's still growing.

brendan:

Yeah, he's you know at this stage. Yeah, so Well, he played this shanks.

bailey:

That era shanks really good, I thought how was, in my opinion, how was the? How shock who hockey for you?

brendan:

I Thought it could have been a bit cooler.

bailey:

Yeah, but I think because in the anime it wasn't shown Like prevalent. Yeah, like knowing that that's what he did.

brendan:

Yes, yeah which is probably why the showmakers were like should we?

bailey:

Let's keep it on the low a little bit.

brendan:

Yeah, cuz it might be cool later on for people that haven't seen it to go yeah, oh, that's what.

bailey:

That's what happened.

brendan:

Yeah, so.

bailey:

It could be that on tight loop I didn't like the eye like it was cool. Yeah, it was like us to realize.

brendan:

I might have liked even shanks Is shanks. I change, I can't remember. I know the, I know the sea kings, I like, like.

bailey:

Shanks, I changed a little bit.

brendan:

Yeah, yeah, I mean maybe if they made that a little bit more problem. Oh, like just a little glow. Yeah would have been cool, would have been nice little touch.

bailey:

Yeah.

brendan:

Yeah, shanks was a win man.

bailey:

I thought dub. Like yeah yeah, and lucky Rue dub. Yeah that dude was my favorite of his crew, like For the live-action.

brendan:

amazing, yeah, so good, you didn't like another infectious smile.

bailey:

Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna be a part of him. Yeah, dude, great, I thought that was good scenes to.

brendan:

What about the kid? How do you think about the let's go, the kids in general?

bailey:

I don't like any of them.

brendan:

I liked. I like Sanji's kid. Have you watched?

bailey:

sweet tooth. Yes, yeah, I couldn't take away from that.

brendan:

Oh, is that the kid from sweet oh?

bailey:

I didn't even know the main actor from sweet tooth could take away from it a.

brendan:

I didn't know, so it didn't really bother me that much, hmm, but I thought he did great job. Yeah, they all did good jobs, it's just only because he was the best translation from kid to older Sanji. Yeah, like when I the way he was speaking and the way that older Sanji was speaking. Oh yeah that's the same person same person, so I'm like with the other ones, they were a bit.

bailey:

No, I miss wasn't bad actually I miss was okay, I was okay. She's I don't know what it is, I just I'm not kid actors, dude, kid actors has me good.

brendan:

Yeah, I'm really a big fan of kid. I always give past to kid actors Cuz I'm like their kids at the end of day, guys. Yeah, do you want from a kid?

bailey:

Yeah, I give them the past, but at the same time I'm like, yeah, doesn't do it for me.

brendan:

Yeah, I don't know if they needed as much time on the kids stuff.

bailey:

But, some.

brendan:

I thought the Sanji one definitely obviously yeah, and the Usob one was nice.

bailey:

No, so actually probably the Usob one Was what's probably my favorite he did fine.

brendan:

He did good. The mom scene was really nice too, yeah, um, alright, let's take on to. We haven't talked. Do I talk about the mains? Do you want to talk about the crew? You'll talk about villains and then go to the crew villains, okay. Let's go villains and you start what do you want to talk about? Who do you want to buggy? Let's go man. Wow, Wow, wow. Is it a funny the part? Oh man everyone was like I don't know even us guys.

bailey:

Yeah, even us even us.

brendan:

But like most of the fandom were like there's no way you could do one piece live action purely on the basis of buggy. Yeah, because buggy is so whack. Wow, and dude did. Oh my, I liked how they took him, kind of a little bit darker. He was.

bailey:

His portrayal of buggy was the best. It was great, the best. But it's so hard to say that because, like, all of them was so great, but buggy oh. He's not my other villains oh just the villains, not the best in the show. No, not the best in the show. Okay, best of the villains, yeah.

brendan:

I don't know man Kuro's close.

bailey:

Kuro was pretty good too.

brendan:

Kuro feel like we're talking about buggy, but Kuro's to me feel like he got ripped out of the page.

bailey:

Yeah, and I was like that's yeah, that's Kuro. Yeah, I really liked them, his glasses thing.

brendan:

Yeah, so weird so good yeah so buggy. Yeah, dude, I liked, I just like, like, just that episode that episode with like the whole thing of buggy was so dark, so like intense, like it was so adrenaline pumping.

bailey:

It was just like man, like fuck, he could really do it, he could really take out the whole crew.

brendan:

You know what I mean Like for someone that's not on their level in the one-piece world.

bailey:

Yeah, like you will really think fuck Buggy could really kill these people. Yeah he could really take them out which is it's funny.

brendan:

I like what they did in the show with that. Yeah, yeah how they made him, you know pretty menacing, like he had the whole town as a change up.

bailey:

I was like that was a nice touch.

brendan:

man, fuck you go, oh, oh, he's not just a goofy like yeah, he's a pirate. He's a pirate, and he's not a nice pirate, he's a evil pirate. Yeah, I.

bailey:

Like the little Easter egg they dropped for us too. That was great. I like that. Moving on, the shanks one. Yeah, I like that, I really like that.

brendan:

Yeah, I was like come on bro. Yeah, you guys know, you know if you know, you know.

bailey:

If you know, put it in the comments. You know, you know. You know what it is. It's pretty simple. Yeah, if you know, put a clown emoji might be biologically clown emoji down. Who knows?

brendan:

Yeah, do you see him in the flashback scene, was it kid? I think he might just see him.

bailey:

Who.

brendan:

There's a lot of stuff when you go over, bro, so it's good we're gonna keep going.

bailey:

Yeah, kuro, great, amazing, awesome.

brendan:

Kuro. Yeah if he's not the, if it's not buggy, it's Kuro.

bailey:

Yeah, to me.

brendan:

They're probably 100% they're on par those two obviously buggies in the season, oh and.

bailey:

I'm so glad they like For me growing up watching One Piece because I was I was young when One Piece first came out, we were kids and I watched East blue when I was a child like they only really played the East blue and reran the East blue season the whole time.

bailey:

For me as a kid growing up, kuro was so scary and I thought his, everything about him was like so I Don't know. It was kind of like nightmare fuel for me as a kid. I thought he was like so fuck, I don't even know frightening, scary everything menacing presents.

brendan:

man, yeah, and just shot him. Dude, yeah, they shot him so good, they shooting, shooting up at him all the time.

bailey:

Yeah, I keep giving him that. Yeah, Fuck yeah.

brendan:

I did really well with all, even the scenes when he's walking through the mansion looking for and like cutting the wall dude, fuck man.

bailey:

I was like, yeah, dude, that's what it feel like they weren't there, yeah that was yeah, and I like I enjoyed the beach in the anime but I honestly the live action did it for me because it was like, it was a like his whole thing for me was horror. Yeah, you know what I mean. Like and like having it just in her house and they're trapped that was horror for me.

brendan:

And a smart way to do it. Yeah, the budget wise. Yeah, you got a house, you've done the prop, use it. Yeah use it, take it out done and it gave us up a nice scene. Mm-hmm when she said leave us up, and he's like no yeah and I was like that was a nice little. Yeah one of those Luffy's seems you're probably talking about, like an action scene. Mm-hmm, I'm staying here. Yeah he is brave.

bailey:

He's when he what? When it comes down to it, he is brave. He just doesn't know, he just doesn't feel like he is, because he prefers to run. Yeah yeah, yeah, kuro, probably between him and buggy for me. Yeah for best villain.

brendan:

Me hawks also villain but I mean, but I mean he's on it, yeah he's on a different plane for me. Like me hawks on that level. Yeah, we know, yeah, if you and like people love him. But dude, he played it.

bailey:

Yeah, and like he looks so cool.

brendan:

I love the voice.

bailey:

Yeah. Course you are yeah, like he was. Yeah, like he's like. Yeah, I'm cool. Yeah, like when Zara was, like guys know, I'm cool.

brendan:

I'm a biggest fan. That was a bit weird. Yeah yeah, I'll expect Zara to just be like Like, then just be like I'll fight you. Like that would have been cooler. Yeah, I thought it's a bit too much fanboy. Maybe they fanboyed Zara.

bailey:

I think Zara is a bit more harder than what yeah?

brendan:

in this series.

bailey:

I thought he talked too much. Yeah, I thought he talked too much. I still felt like he was still more hard in this show than he was in the anime. True, he's a bit more, oh, except for cuz originally originals are yeah was not yeah. Like he's hard, but he wasn't like. He was definitely a jokester as well.

brendan:

Yeah, yeah, he was with Sanji, right. Yeah, I think when Sanji comes in, you see the dynamic. I saw the don't like the moss head. Yeah, I was like that's what yeah, it's probably missing, yeah, you needed that dynamic to go at someone with yeah because you wasn't really gonna go at Nami. That much they did it once. I Mean there's no really reason for them to go at each other.

bailey:

I don't know why, but I felt so many sparks between those two.

brendan:

Who's Oro and Nami? Nami yeah like the actors or what the scenes, the scenes Like Otis, 100% against romance.

bailey:

That's not his story. That's not what he's not allowed to do.

brendan:

It they're not allowed to do it allowed to a guy's little thing there. They're not allowed to make the crew members have romance.

bailey:

Yeah, live action. No romance with the crew members, but the moments that they were having together.

brendan:

like Nami and Zoro, I Thought it was just like giving me that vibe to me it's really like kindred spirits, like an understanding of each other past and Maybe Zoro understanding why, like he's probably got that heart shell.

bailey:

Yeah, maybe go over that little bit and he sees that in her.

brendan:

Yeah, he's trying to get that out of it. That's what I thought when I saw it.

bailey:

But it's not that you got the sparks, yeah because sometimes it can be close can be close, but sometimes you find a kindred spirit and you just connect. Yeah, deeper, level. I think it was just because there was that that part when they're in the bar, yeah, and then literally next day he fights, fucking me, hawk, and she's like crying a fucking eyes out. Yeah, you know, that's what I think. That's why it was that for me.

brendan:

I thought Nami did a bit too much.

bailey:

Yes.

brendan:

There was a bit too much Nami going on in there. Definitely but that's maybe because they mixed it.

bailey:

Yeah, she was in fucking there.

brendan:

Fucking hell mate. Oh well, mm-hmm, that's okay, little nitpick.

bailey:

No, I long oh.

brendan:

We got our long okay.

bailey:

We were talking about Don Creek. How'd you feel about him?

brendan:

Um, you have to remind me bro.

bailey:

He's a gold armor guy that me Hawk cuts down in the show, but in the anime Luffy fights him at the bar bar RTA.

brendan:

Oh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm, I'm, I was.

bailey:

I was kind of okay that they took him out. Yeah kind of I'm still on the fence. I thought it would have been cool if he was because that's kind of like Luffy's big, that's a big fight for Luffy and that would also have given a reason for War Garp to know where he is.

brendan:

Yeah you know what I mean Like.

bailey:

I don't know like and I don't know why they included the. I Get it, but like they included the fucking warlords did.

brendan:

Yeah, that's one other thing. I was like they didn't need to, but in another sense they're probably like they did with the whole gap thing. Yeah, with a whole gap thing good, oh now you got to go like well why why do we all go there?

brendan:

Why is garp a bad guy? And they don't want you to think garp's a bad guy, no, so now they explain that the yeah, so I don't, I'm not a. I don't really have a problem with it, to be honest, because now you just know. You don't know who the warlords are.

bailey:

Yeah.

brendan:

You know of the warlords and we got that little you know like when they opened up. I Keep getting his name, dude, they're safe, not Gordon. Oh, morgan, morgan, sorry, hmm, you had the world order.

bailey:

Yeah and I was like that's a nice little, nice little fan like Easter egg, like I was like yeah that was pretty good, and the same with like with the warlords, when that marines with Arlong and they're talking about, you know, like fishmen rights, yeah, and he's like there is a fishman in the warlords. Yeah, yeah, and he's like don't talk to me about Jim Bay.

brendan:

Yeah, that was nice, yeah, that was nice, yeah, that was really good because as you go on when he comes. If you understand, if they get to Jim Bay in.

bailey:

Yeah, fuck, like you understand the whole thing with Jim Bay and Arlong because they were brothers.

brendan:

Yeah, I've had some. I saw some people little tangent here, guys, but like they're like fancasting kaito and I was like guys, calm down guys time they get to kaito, if they do get to kaito in live action. They might never because they probably won't. But wouldn't it be awesome if you could get to that point. And the guys are, the crew is like older and yeah. But we'll see. Jason Momoro is kaito.

bailey:

Hmm.

brendan:

She was like what kind of works?

bailey:

Yeah, I get it, but Jason was used for any scruffy dark he had.

brendan:

Yeah, I can imagine going.

bailey:

Yeah, I can, yeah, I can imagine that's a lot of that's his kind of laugh too. I.

brendan:

Love that I'm one piece.

bailey:

Um, I long was okay.

brendan:

I thought he's good man. He's a bit. He was a big gangster. He was like a thug he was a thug and I like I kind of liked it, yeah, I liked it, and then I thought they could have got a bit more creative. I get what they were going for, though.

bailey:

Yeah. Who's some of his fishermen were a bit, but that's fine.

brendan:

That's okay.

bailey:

I get it, there's background characters. Yeah, they're background characters.

brendan:

The fishman. Like, like, how did you feel about the look of the fishman? They were okay, I Don't mind. I'd rather them go practical than go bad CGI.

bailey:

Yeah, yeah, yeah, and I'm absolutely fine with how they. I wasn't happy that my boy didn't get put in, though. Hachi, I don't know, I spent a long time. He's the octopus who fights are oh, oh yeah.

brendan:

Yeah, zoro didn't have much to do really. No, they kind of combined the one fight dude. Yeah it took all I mean I actually want to see Zoro training yeah. I thought that was a little thing they could have put instead of putting some garb scenes in yeah just put Zoro like sore but like just like maybe Luffy and stuff walk out in the morning. Yeah, and he's there to like one-head push ups.

bailey:

Yeah and then you go. Or two finger and then you go.

brendan:

Oh, he's keeping his prom.

bailey:

You know what I mean.

brendan:

He's promise like he's working his ass off and he's injured.

bailey:

Yeah. I'll be sick little nitpick, guys, but that would be another nitpick. He didn't call out his finishing move not yet. It's kind of pissed off. It's coming, though. Yeah, I was kind of wait didn't he do it. No, dude, he didn't do any finishing do it, and he does it against me oh.

brendan:

I think they're building up though.

bailey:

Yeah, because the joke was working. Though the joke was working, I thought it was funny when, like, I didn't like it until the Sanji.

brendan:

Joe came in.

bailey:

Let's be honest, guys, like until Sanji did his, caught out his finishing moves and then like he's like, oh, you're gonna fit right in. Like yeah, I was like, oh, yeah, that's funny. But at the same time Son told you oh my god you know man and like he didn't use three swords. Oh, I didn't use that, yeah twice.

brendan:

I think they're still figuring out how they're gonna do it.

bailey:

I get it, you know, I get it, but like this is where, if I was them, I would use special effects.

brendan:

Yeah just like I would have done close-ups of in the mouth and I would have shown his eyes. Do the Change? The gray? Yeah like you know how, like in the yeah, and then it shrinks just do a little bit of a thing to show that, oh, he's activating some sort of power. Yeah because then you have to show it. And then show some, like little force, do a close-up of the face and then just do like one cut of him, just like doing something like in the slow-mo. Yeah dude, it would have looked.

bailey:

It's not gonna cost that much. I think even just having the handle in his mouth it was pretty dope, like you know, and then adding the sword in later would have been enough.

brendan:

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

bailey:

I didn't know if they CGI'd that, but they should have.

brendan:

Yeah, the sword was his whole sword because if he had to just do that, um, even if they got like a green ball for him to put in his mouth. It's not that hard to yeah, but they probably didn't want to muck around with the movement there's lots of things I could do.

bailey:

They're probably still mucking around with it at the same time. I get it, but it's a nitpick for me, wasn't a lot of three sword style, which is what he is At?

brendan:

least you got me hawk fucking slicing up a boat.

bailey:

Yeah, that was pretty bad. I saw that I was like yes.

brendan:

Yeah they're not going to. Don't go too real man.

bailey:

And Sanji smoking his ciggy. Yeah, I knew you'd like we go on.

brendan:

I need like we go on. Man, we had that conversation last time. Well, like, is he gonna use the leap up? Was he gonna be a ciggy?

bailey:

Yeah, he got a love the ciggy and the doors and in doors they don't go fuck his pie. He's badass and, like I, I really liked how they um upaged the crew Um on like but uh oh, just how old they are.

brendan:

Oh yeah, got you, got you, got you.

bailey:

You know, because they drink it. They're drinking, yeah, yeah, they're in a bar. Yeah, they're in a bar, yeah, yeah.

brendan:

Luffy still feels young.

bailey:

Yeah.

brendan:

But they're pirates.

bailey:

Luffy is supposed to be 15. I think 15 when he starts his crew, and then Zoro Sanji A 17 and I think nine 16. Yeah, that makes sense.

brendan:

I could take a narco for being younger than the rest, though, yeah, 100%, so that that way.

bailey:

I think usop same age as Luffy. That makes sense.

brendan:

They're like little buddies.

bailey:

Yeah, besties.

brendan:

Um, what did you think about usop man?

bailey:

Oh great.

brendan:

I thought he's a good and I just want, I just want more. Yeah, I want more of them. Yeah, I thought he was awesome.

bailey:

He was so funny man. He was so fucking funny. But like his whole captain usop thing doesn't go on that long. I kind of got tired of it towards the end, but at the same time it's thought he was very funny and I'd rather be mad more than less. Yeah, definitely, because he was really yeah. I can't wait to Jacob gets more oh man, if you watch the interviews and stuff like that, yeah, he's so funny, he's like the same as yeah, if, if not more, yeah, yeah.

brendan:

Like the jokes, like humor between him and like Like inaki, yeah, is it's good chemistry. So good yeah they, they, they got that chemistry pretty.

bailey:

Yeah, pretty good.

brendan:

So good, I want more yeah give me more if we get another season. Give me more usop, give me a bit more building up on his. So I could kind of focus on A lot on Luffy, a lot on Zorro.

bailey:

A lot of nami. The other two kind of got a back burner.

brendan:

Yeah, but saji was, saaji was the best Saaji, that's right.

bailey:

Taz scoala.

brendan:

Oh my god.

bailey:

Fuck me, you are. You are the man, bro. Yeah, you are so good, you're so awesome.

brendan:

guys, I'm not gonna say I told you so, but Fuck, I fucking told you.

bailey:

So how handsome is he, tell me? I think he's the handsomeist. He did great, he acted great. Charisma his effort, his method acting that he put into being saaji. He took private Chef lessons to be learn how to be a cook, became the cook on the show, behind the scenes. He cooked for the whole crew, casting crew. So he became real life saaji. He took kickboxing, taekwondo, everything he could do to get into the role, the role of being saaji. He did, he nailed it. Oh my god.

brendan:

God he nailed it. He nailed it and you know it's funny. Saaji, for me personally, an anime, he kind of annoys me. I don't like the perv.

bailey:

I love it.

brendan:

I don't like the perv side, but he's the way he did.

bailey:

Saaji was a flirt and I like yeah and, like you know, in the anime saaji is handsome. Yeah but he's kind of like they kind of make it that he feels like he isn't you know what I mean.

brendan:

Yeah, yeah, so he's got to be like. So he's always kind of overcompensate.

bailey:

Was this? This saaji knew he was handsome. Yeah, you know, I mean there was kind of it was that kind of thing. Yeah, that was the difference.

brendan:

Yeah, I liked it, I liked it, I like. I love the way he does saaji. The humor's good, yeah, the interaction with Zoro, which I wanted, and I got hilarious With Luffy, like with the crew really good, that's sick. We've gnarly at the end, perfect.

bailey:

Yeah, like I was, like she runs past them.

brendan:

Yeah, I was like that's, that's so good.

bailey:

I'm not want the eyebrow there, Dude.

brendan:

I was thinking about this right. What if they do it when he activates his power?

bailey:

That'd be good, but his power doesn't come for ages.

brendan:

No, but like what if it's like?

bailey:

just when he does his kicks.

brendan:

Yeah yeah, it's like a like instead of like. It's like it's like a little insignia like curls around. Yeah it's like comes from there. I was like that's, that'd be kind of cool. Yeah, it worked and give people like the eyebrow thing. But not making it too Tack. Yeah because it would. I've been looking at his eyebrows the whole time.

bailey:

Yeah, but it's like the whole moss head thing was great but like Zoro's comeback is twirly brow.

brendan:

Yeah, that was pretty, you know like he didn't have a comeback.

bailey:

Yeah, he didn't come back because All his comeback was waiter like and that's not really like that's not that bad. You're not picking on his physical features. That's, guys, which is what I want.

brendan:

We got to send some roasts Things for Zoro. Yeah send them through to one piece Netflix and be like these are good roasts.

bailey:

These are good roasts, yeah.

brendan:

We need to help them out. Yeah because Zoro. But Zoro I mean kind of makes sense, because Zoro is just aggressive, but Zoro always gets frustrated.

bailey:

Yeah, which is kind of the part I like. Well, let's all right, we've talked about, we talked about the crew, the villains, some side characters. Yep, let's just do some top moments for us personally. All right, we'll go top fight scene. We'll go favorite character, yeah, and then we'll do maybe three scenes that were Like top like top for us, impactful for us.

brendan:

Okay, you go first, we'll just go one for one.

bailey:

Okay, yeah, yeah, all right, top fight scene for me, oh.

brendan:

Was Zoro's first fight. That's a fucking good fight scene man.

bailey:

Yeah, that was my favorite.

brendan:

Um Technically wise that one. Yeah but I actually really enjoyed the the fishermen island when they were all Ensaanji and Zoro were going at it.

bailey:

Yeah, I enjoyed that too.

brendan:

I think I enjoyed that just because it just felt like Like the Avengers were assembled.

bailey:

Yeah, hey, yeah, I get that feeling yeah and I was like, okay, this is.

brendan:

It gave me a vibe, like all the crews, like the crews, and that was my favorite Sanji fight, for sure. Maybe I can put that in scene. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know, man.

bailey:

Yeah, it's hard because Luffy versus Arlong was also really good.

brendan:

Yeah, luffy was a yes, he has a good fight too.

bailey:

That was my favorite Luffy fight.

brendan:

Oh, come on, it's kind of hard because he was the only one that showed powers Like the. Gatlin gum, gum Gatlin.

bailey:

Yeah well, I just got sick of this.

brendan:

Yeah, I think that was just a.

bailey:

Like throwing it and then like I get it. That's Luffy's pose, but like you don't need to do it after every punch. Yeah, he could literally just go like that. Yeah, just ugh.

brendan:

Yeah, I thought maybe they could go a bit quicker with it, like uh it was a bit like yeah, it was a bit like Whip it come back. Yeah, it was a bit like one pull it. Pull it back one. I think there's going to be a bit more flowy and realize that they can use quick shots.

bailey:

Cause I had high hopes after his fight with Morgan, cause he's doing flips, fucking, jumping around, kicking, doing punches in the air, like I had such high hopes. But then it was just like his fight with Arlonga the Baratier was just like ugh.

brendan:

That scene was a bit lame. Ugh back, I thought it was a bit too early. Yeah, I don't think it was necessary.

bailey:

No, it was, or rather just.

brendan:

Luffy be somewhere else.

bailey:

Yeah, oh.

brendan:

And then Nami leave, whatever, yeah. And then the pirates go. They go to Baratier. We're like, oh they're there.

bailey:

Yeah.

brendan:

But then Buggy's like oh Cause we know, obviously in the show it is Ian on the scene. He goes oh, they're going to. I don't know where they're going.

bailey:

Yeah.

brendan:

And then they could have just left and went to Arlonga. Everyone's going to Arlonga, but they don't know who Arlonga is, Cause I like that in the anime he's like which one of you was Arlonga. Yeah.

bailey:

You know, he kicks down Arlonga parking and goes like looks around which one of you was Arlonga.

brendan:

Yeah, that's staunch.

bailey:

Love that shit. Yeah, they could have kept that, yeah, um yeah, Favorite fight for me Zoro number one Yep. And then obviously the Arlong fight with Sanji and Zoro in the park fighting the fishmen Yep. And then Luffy versus Arlong. Yeah, that's cool.

brendan:

Top three. Um, I don't know if it's a fight scene, but I like simple stuff sometimes.

bailey:

Yeah. That's that's the scenes that we like. Yeah, you want to go through those before we go through.

brendan:

Oh yeah, got you, got you. Yeah, I'd probably go Arlong park Zoro when thing Sanji, and then I'd go Zoro Um first number seven, yeah, and then I'd probably go Arlong too, yeah. Luffy fight just cause you get to see Luffy's powers.

bailey:

Yeah, and honestly I'm not going to lie to you guys, probably my four and five. My four would be Shanks's crew versus the mountain bandits Yep, which I loved like that whole thing was called the killing, the fucking Yep. And my fifth is probably kids Zoro versus kid Koena. That was another.

brendan:

That's what I was thinking all those kids were like no, that's definitely like, that was great scene was like those kids were so good.

bailey:

Like they're full on swordsmen, swordswoman, swordsmen, all of the they actually stunt.

brendan:

Are they stunt kids? I don't know. They're fucking great man.

bailey:

They did really good, real swords, yeah, yeah.

brendan:

But yeah, the acting was a bit subpoena, but the action scene like that.

bailey:

made up for it for me yeah.

brendan:

Yeah, so there you go, cool, so, honorable mentions, honorable mentions. Oh yeah, no, that was it. That was your honorable mention.

bailey:

Yeah, I feel like those two are my honorable mentions Um what's next? What's next? What are?

brendan:

we doing next.

bailey:

Your favorite character.

brendan:

Favorite character. Okay, Um man, this is hard.

bailey:

I'm like in tears.

brendan:

Oh, we can do that, yeah, or rank him.

bailey:

Or just like your favorite crew member. Okay, my favorite villain.

brendan:

My favorite character oh, it's hard Favorite. I'm going to go for straw hat crew. We'll do that first.

bailey:

Yeah.

brendan:

Favorite straw hat crew. I'm going Sanji.

bailey:

Definitely Me too.

brendan:

Fuck man. I don't know His scenes.

bailey:

So good. Like made me legitimately cried Fuck man. He's so good when he says by the Zeph. I cry whenever I watch the anime recap.

brendan:

Yeah.

bailey:

I watched that so many times, like if you had a counter on how many times I've watched that, definitely in the hundreds and I was such a good fucking say good, um, so he won me over. Yeah.

brendan:

Everything he did.

bailey:

I was just happy man, come on the podcast. Yeah, please, you're so good, I love to meet you man.

brendan:

Um so, and then I'd probably go. It's hard man.

bailey:

Side character.

brendan:

No, my second. Sorry, I was going to join you the whole crew or just favorite side, favorite crew character. Favorite side character.

bailey:

No, you can go through the whole crew and then do like your favorite, okay.

brendan:

Um so second would be oh man, it's hard dude. They're all kind of the same for me. I'm going to go, I'm actually go, luffy.

bailey:

Okay, mine would be Zora.

brendan:

Yeah, I'll explain why. Yeah, um, because, based on some of the stuff, like Zora just wasn't like doing some of the stuff I thought Zora would do.

bailey:

Yeah.

brendan:

That's the only reason why I was like yeah. So it'll part of me just goes oh, he's bad off from like, but what's he, Zora?

bailey:

Like yeah.

brendan:

Like did I get everything I wanted from?

bailey:

Yeah, sorry.

brendan:

But I think that's because going into the show I was like he's going to be my favorite.

bailey:

Yeah, I think that's why I get that.

brendan:

I think I like Luffy second because surprise me and like maybe smile.

bailey:

That's all I'm going off.

brendan:

Like I was like oh, this dude's making me smile, and I was like cool. Um third, I'd probably go Zora, and then I'd go.

bailey:

Yeah, mine and yours are switched.

brendan:

I'd go Usopp and I go Nami, but maybe Nami ahead of Usopp.

bailey:

Yeah.

brendan:

I just thought, nami's explain it.

bailey:

I thought she portrayed Nami really well. I'm not saying she's bad, by the way, yeah.

brendan:

I'm just saying in a tier list of like there's only five of them.

bailey:

It's kind of hard yeah.

brendan:

It's hard, but like pretty much like I would say, wrote Zoro, usopp and Nami, even Luffy, kind of on the same thing. For me, yeah, same Pretty close, I get that it's not really not much.

bailey:

Yeah.

brendan:

And they're good.

bailey:

Sanji's number one, though, sanji number one, sanji Diablo.

brendan:

Jumbo, sanji number one. Diablo Jumbo, you win the world, you win a candle.

bailey:

Natural essentials bro. Natural essentials candle, that's what you need. Man, primetime man, that's what you need. Taz.

brendan:

TK Max baby, come on, boy, um. And then side character oh, do you want to go, yours?

bailey:

My crew, my crew.

brendan:

Oh, you said the same yeah.

bailey:

Um, yeah, mine's Sanji, then Zoro, and then I would put the final three on the same point, cause they all had things that I loved and they all had things that I wasn't really you know about them. Whereas kind of Zoro and Sanji were kind of just like uh, sanji especially like he did no wrong for me.

brendan:

Yeah, I get you, he did no wrong. He did no wrong, that's why he's my main man.

bailey:

He did no wrong for me.

brendan:

Um side character, favorite side character.

bailey:

Favorite side character uh.

brendan:

Onazeth, onazeth, fuck, that's good.

bailey:

Yeah, onazeth was my favorite side character. He was.

brendan:

Oh my.

bailey:

God, everything about him. He was true to who Zephyr is. He was uh charismatic. He was someone that I would find myself that if I was a pirate, I would love to follow him. He had that captain presence but also the owner presence, and I just think the actor did fucking great.

brendan:

He played each part Representing him. Yeah, Onazeth, Fuck, it's hard, dude Cause I really liked um just the shanks actor.

bailey:

Yeah.

brendan:

Um and me Hawk and me, hawk, fuck it's hard.

bailey:

Yeah.

brendan:

It's hard man. Um, I'm going to go Fuck it. I'm going to go, uh, I'm going to go. I'm going to go shanks.

bailey:

Shanks Cool.

brendan:

Maybe because I'm a little bit of a fan boy. Yeah, I'll shake, yeah, I get that?

bailey:

Uh, my partner, who's never watched one piece, doesn't understand any of my one piece stuff Watched the live action. Her favorite was me Hawk. Overall, well, the charisma, the charisma. So I think like me or? Honorable mention for me.

brendan:

Yeah, let's be honest guys.

bailey:

Me. Hawk is so good. He's a thirst trap as well. He's a thirst trap, yeah.

brendan:

A little cross scene Very good.

bailey:

Yeah, that was so funny and like the way they did that, the way they choreographed that.

brendan:

So good, they talked about me, hawk, but that scene was awesome.

bailey:

Yeah, that scene was awesome. That was good fight too, yeah.

brendan:

Oh yeah, that was like we forgot that.

bailey:

Yeah. We forgot that too, because we didn't get satisfied by the Son told you yeah, yeah, that's pretty wild. Um, yeah, all right, now I'm. One of the main reasons for me was Zeph's Like how he protected Luffy, who he'd only known for like two days. That was pretty bad and it was like he was like I may not be a pirate anymore, but I still live by the code.

brendan:

Yeah.

bailey:

I still live by the code.

brendan:

And the baratio. It's a real G.

bailey:

Real G man and, like his moments with Garp real G's.

brendan:

They see that's not in the anime. No, it's not, and but that was nice.

bailey:

It was nice because they are both from the old era.

brendan:

Yeah.

bailey:

And, like Garp, recognized them immediately. And that was something that I like about Garp, cause Garp in the anime, he's not someone that always just takes the fucking pirates. No, he'll have a conversation with the pirates, he doesn't care. Yeah.

brendan:

Cause he's up if they're causing problems.

bailey:

Yeah, If they're not causing problems. He's like go around, yeah.

brendan:

And they say obviously high bounties or whatever, but that's Garp.

bailey:

That's true, he played Garp. As we said, garp played good, garp played good, yeah, garp was good yeah With Garp we trust and Garp, we trust.

brendan:

Yeah, good little fish Hell yeah, yeah Me hawk, quick on me hawk. Amazing, great looked awesome real good and I can't wait to see him in the future.

bailey:

Yeah dude.

brendan:

Even his last scene with shanks was awesome.

bailey:

Yeah, it was so funny. That's another scene that you could go check my history of YouTube over a hundred.

brendan:

What's this?

bailey:

for the times I've watched the anime. Yeah, I do, over a thousand probably it's fucking great, yeah, yeah, magica. That's what he says in there. I mean so really that's it.

brendan:

Mm-hmm, fuck yeah, mm-hmm, great scene great.

bailey:

I'm glad they put it in, yeah.

brendan:

Yeah, I like that too. Yeah, I like how they ended it.

bailey:

Yeah.

brendan:

I like, cuz I wouldn't want them to tease. I mean they could have finished off, they could have shown like the Grand Line.

bailey:

Yeah oh the, they could have shown a little gold but they did, they did, they did, they did tease something, oh.

brendan:

Oh, what buggy no, they teased.

bailey:

Admirate not at what they tease like a lieutenant. Oh, in the Marines with some cigars. Get to it, man, you know. They tease that, they tease that, and I'm looking forward to it because he's one of my favorite. He's my favorite, marine. Fuck yeah, he's bad yeah.

brendan:

Yeah, by the way, we haven't talked about this this first time. We've actually talked about it cuz he didn't want to.

bailey:

Yeah, so we're probably rambling on a rambling about what we're literally hearing out.

brendan:

Yeah, those thoughts.

bailey:

For the first time, we kind of wanted to wait until we did it so we could do it with you. So you get everything kind of unfiltered passion yeah and it's not kind of like we've talked about it, we're gonna talk about this and blah, blah, blah. You're just gonna get it all yeah.

brendan:

Yeah, getting all, getting all of it all up in your grill, yeah, anyway you, yeah, all of me and you, and that's the one piece.

bailey:

That's the one piece.

brendan:

Me Hawk was great.

bailey:

Me Hope is great.

brendan:

What else we need to talk about?

bailey:

favorite villains. We're already gone over.

brendan:

Yeah, our favorite scenes there are scenes three, three, top three, top three scenes. And then we'll finish off with our thoughts. If they'll be a season two and the little Rodham Bramados yeah.

bailey:

You're gonna be doing my three scenes.

brendan:

First of you, you go first man.

bailey:

I'll go first. Okay, scene one Definitely one of my favorite scenes was the gap and Zeph. I.

brendan:

Was surprising. Really like that, okay, okay.

bailey:

I really like that. Those were cool, like there was no need for CGI, no tricks, no, nothing awesome.

brendan:

I did a lot of depth to Zeph as a character, to yeah, a lot of game, a little bit more, and it was worth it. Yeah, giving that, giving him that time.

bailey:

Yeah, oh damn. Yeah, I get it. I get it. I understand it is very hard to think about very hard.

brendan:

By the way, guys, while he's thinking, you keep thinking yeah. What's your top three scenes?

bailey:

Yeah comments or write to us on Instagram or you give us all of the tops that we've gone over.

brendan:

Yeah, it gives all the topic you give us your views on the comments below. Yeah interesting to see everyone's different opinions Because it is one anime to a live act, live action adaptation. So yeah there's gonna be a lot of thoughts and opinions on this one, but I think everyone liked it. They just they liked and didn't like different things, so it'd be interesting to see what you guys I'd like to see.

bailey:

It, I'd like to hear from you guys. Yeah, please, this is so hard bro we're back.

brendan:

Sorry, guys, technically get difficulties. The camera went out. Yeah, on Halfway through the Zoro part. So Podcasts you can listen to that whole section in between there.

bailey:

Yeah.

brendan:

But unfortunately it's just we don't have time.

bailey:

Yeah, video out.

brendan:

So yeah, I'm gonna continue with our what we, what we doing there.

bailey:

Favorite scenes favorite scenes, yeah, our favorite scenes. One for me, owners F talking to gap two would probably be Like I lost. My trainer thought a that's right, I'm gonna do my. Yeah, give me yours.

brendan:

My favorite top three scenes would probably be Top one be Sanji saying goodbye to Jeff love that. Was this? Oh you, my life? Yeah, that was good, gee. Second one Like most words can be Sanji. No, I think my second favorite scene, but slash white scene would be the number seven. Yeah, I love that Even the interaction with number seven was yeah. Fucking so scared as a rock and my third favorite scene was probably me hook slash in the.

bailey:

I love that. That whole part of me, hawk on the phone, was awesome, the phones.

brendan:

The transponder why you send me off this boy. Yeah yeah, I've it. Top three scenes awesome that's definitely one of mine. There's lots of be hawks in.

bailey:

I love that so much that was so sick.

brendan:

So if we didn't get it on recording, number one was Garp and Zef having a safe.

bailey:

Yeah, Zef and Garp having conversation about the old days number two. Me hawk, me hawks. Introduction Definitely just me Hawks introduction.

brendan:

Yeah, okay, that was so sick.

bailey:

Yeah, that was cool, as number three Would be Luffy giving his hat to know me. Yeah, of course.

brendan:

I will.

bailey:

That was my fault of course I will, yeah, yeah.

brendan:

Luffy I.

bailey:

Yeah, help me, that was that was so like. That hit me too, because I was like man, I'm fucking you're such a bitch For you're doing to them like yeah even though I know what was going on.

brendan:

Yeah, I still had that feeling like you're a bitch, I'm a good man, yeah.

bailey:

and then that part where she's like Luffy, yeah, she did that.

brendan:

Yeah, she carved that up. She carved that scene up. Yeah, it was good, that got me bit teary. That shit was legit. That was my number four.

bailey:

Yeah, there you go, yeah, Rodin.

brendan:

Bromados. What about us guys? This is our little, you know, we're gonna do it out of a hundred percent. Okay, out of a hundred percent. So, like you know, like a percentage, yeah, okay, ready, you go first, ready I always go.

bailey:

You want me to go first?

brendan:

No, it's okay, we go same time.

bailey:

I'm gonna be honest. I'm just gonna give you my honest, honest go. For me it's a 93.

brendan:

Yeah, yeah, fuck dude, for me it was a 93 god damn, that's a big statement from a one piece fan.

bailey:

That's a big statement. God damn, because there was only, like, the things that I didn't like about it are so minuscule.

brendan:

Oh Okay, you know what I mean. Like.

bailey:

I'm not gonna just look at it objectively Too hard, just like looking at it as what it is the story that it is taking it all in as a not as a live action of the enemy. But as a show yeah in itself, got you that's how I, that's how I tried to go into it and perceive it and got you Get a 93 from me. Fuck yeah, dude.

brendan:

Yeah, fuck, yeah, dude. Yeah, I'm nowhere near a 90, but really I'm close to 90. I'm not a 90.

bailey:

Yeah, I was kind of between like 88 93.

brendan:

Yeah, I can like. I'm, I'm giving this it was, it actually was a 75 really that I rewatch some scenes. Yeah and because I like them Well, I give. I give value to second watchable if it's a pre-watchable.

bailey:

Yeah.

brendan:

I give value to that. I think it's a good show. Yeah so I'm gonna, I'm gonna land on a. I'm not 82% 82%, 82%.

bailey:

We're all 10% off, but hey guys, yeah, a whole 11% off. That's that's just how it is. That means we liked it, we have our own rod and, bro Mato's, we score in our own way. That's it and that's what you know.

brendan:

That's funny. Yeah, honey, that we both liked it. Yeah dude, I honestly thought you wouldn't go lower.

bailey:

I thought you're gonna go lower than me. No, that's what surprise is like my going high. Like the lowest I would have gone would have been 88.

brendan:

Goddamn.

bailey:

Yeah. Fuck yeah, dude but I wanted to just yeah, I give it the props that it deserves.

brendan:

I think, yeah, we talked a lot of negativity about the show. Yeah obviously now you can see if you stuck around for the end of the Video that we fucking love the show other it's just being. It's a good conversational points to be had.

bailey:

Yeah, I'm gonna nitpick on what I didn't like and like those things still at the same time aren't really big deals to me I will say something guys. Yeah.

brendan:

I don't know if I talked about this before, but However, the director was Stop doing like really weird close-ups On, like when Luffy and Kobe were talking under the boat.

bailey:

Oh yeah, and it was like fucking hated. It was like this yeah, you could really tell us mono, bro. It's like when I zoom up on our faces on.

brendan:

YouTube and I was like dude I I want to see the set.

bailey:

Yeah like I'd like just show some lighting, like yeah, like on Kobe, like man did 18 million, get you fucking this many close-ups or we're gonna see some more of the set. Yeah, we have like a medium, close it's just it's too close. It's like close up. Yeah, it was weird bit of a dutch angle.

brendan:

I think was trying to be creative, but I'm just Let let the space brief. Like a manga like I only do so imagine a manga, right, you only go on the eyes when something like really yeah drastic is happening. Yeah, yeah so I think about to me. That was just annoying me.

bailey:

I was like why are we close?

brendan:

am I supposed to listen?

bailey:

Yeah, and this wasn't really important anyways, no no, dip it.

brendan:

But that's why stuff like that, for me, was more important. Yeah but the adaptation itself worked.

bailey:

The fucking, the way they did the wanted posters, oh my god, oh yeah, and they ripped it up.

brendan:

That was fucking sick man, that was pretty those. So fuck sick dude. Oh nice yeah.

bailey:

Especially me Hawks All right guys.

brendan:

Netflix doesn't always do well with the witcher.

And then they, if they can land avatar as well, which is coming up, done, done. They've got themselves to money bringers for the next yeah, ten years.

bailey:

Maybe they want to money spenders to 18 million dollars per episode.

brendan:

Yeah, but I don't know how much money they make with streams.

bailey:

I don't.

brendan:

I don't know how that's calculated but surely with advertisements they could figure out something like a merchant shit. They probably be making shit loads.

bailey:

Yeah.

brendan:

But let's talk about. So the spoiler on a spoiler, sorry, the little teaser. There's two. You got one with buggy and and I can, jesus Christ the captain, check at the start.
