You know Alex is a true One Piece fan when he lets them be wrong about stuff and doesn't correct them because it would spoil it for them.

[@Ghost-ExE]

The weakness of devil fruit users to “water” is in two ways; Sea water makes them lose their stamina rapidly. They are “rejected” by the sea and therefore exposure to seawater makes them lose their stamina.

When Netflix is not 100% in control, it just works. Having Oda full involvement right choice.

[@austin.....]

In general I do not think the platform itself should have any input on the creation of the content. I do not care how big their publishing arm is. I wish Netflix would do this for all of their originals. It does Nflix more good than bad to remove themselves from the reins. Hope they get the picture now.

I don't think this was a choice but an obligation lol

What happened 900 years ago?!

[@impossiblekid0582]

Well from what I've seen most just flat out go Bias mode and just watch the movie and claim it to be the best thing ever even better then the OP anime(as if they watched more then 10 eps) most still won't give OP a chance as they want a race not a journey(exactly what the live action is). The live action is ok but it aint the anime by a loooooooooooooooong shot.

[@sirzmo]

They should know at this point that Shanks doesn't have a fruit but because the live action did the scene with Shanks on the boat instead of in the water it's not so obvious anymore...

[@Aryaa238]

Alex said he only read until chapter 500 and by that point, we don't know about Haki so he may not know about it yet.

[@kinabalucat]

none of them know about haki

[@xspikespiegelx7777]

To me Usopp feels like the normal human surrounded by giants on the crew. That’s why he works so well as a comic relief because he’s surrounded by dudes who can kick like Bruce Lee and a rubber man and a dude who uses 3 swords and he’s just Usopp 😂

[@lProN00bl]

It makes him a fan favorite. He's how you do weak characters that are still vital to the team. There are people Luffy could never hope to beat that Usopp can.

[@arvindhmani06]

Can't wait for that storyline in Water 7 & Enies Lobby where - you know.. And if you don't, wait for it because I don't wanna spoil it

[@xspikespiegelx7777]

I’m fully caught up on One Piece

[@HunterAnsorge-ok9jk]

I didn’t like him during anything solo except the time after Sabaodi

[@TommySenshi]

I'm kinda bummed out that they didn't do the scene between Along and Zoro. The one when Arlong holds Zoro and sees his massive wound. The terrified look Arlong had in manga and anime, and the line where he says something like "How the hell are you alive" hits really hard. It worked so well since at that point Arlong was shown way above all of the straw hats level.

[@RyuEmatsu]

Disagree. Not about the scene, but about Along being above the Straw Hats. Sanji just got done with a fight underwater and Zoro got done with a fight and was injured. The characters don’t noticeably grow as fighters until Enies Lobby.

[@cpmtn1995]

​@@RyuEmatsuagreed in my eyes luffy especially was coasting showing just enough power to beat the next obstical water 7 was a wake up call for them when thigs started going wrong left and right

[@servalkorion686]

@@RyuEmatsu zoro was literally half dead too

[@Timerooy]

That single moment of Arlong holding a slashed zoro up terified is the main reason I kept reading One Piece :(( 18millions of budget per episode here and they can't even get in one Arlong's signature shark on dart attack, I could care less about the over the top background world buildings since they'd be blurred out anyway, but seems like their ambition could get the better of them

[@bradboulet1425]

I'd argue that almost every character grows much in Alabasta. Zoro, Luffy, Nami especially

[@mr.heisenberg0122]

As a One Piece fan, I have never been more excited and curious to hear Alex’s opinion since he is the only one in the crew who watches the anime

[@krispyasfk2567]

That's because anime is for the gays

[@itzjustkris7964]

He said he reads the manga he said it’s a non serious goofy show so I don’t think he’s too far

[@arga400]

He don't watch no anime, he cultured, he reads the manga

[@Coolkid4205]

​@itzjustkris7964 he said 500 chapters so that should be around the ASL backstory

[@rudolfgernd8760]

He is 500 chapters in and thinks Buggy is a joke. So much for that^^

[@ToyJesusLovesTequilla]

Luffy is more immature in the beginning of the anime and really takes time to develop in the anime and get use to. So I think one of the changes they had to make was to make luffy a little more mature and serious

[@twiss9341]

Yeah his IQ surprised me (in a good way, will just be interesting to see the development later)

[@garenthal9638]

Well that goes for everyone. Ussop wasn’t AS pathetic, Nami wasn’t beating the crap out of her crew mates, Sanji wasn’t nosebleeding. Etc

[@GiRR007]

Honestly he gets more stupid after the time skip. In the begging hes not stupid he just has care free personality. A mature luffy though is a boring luffy.

[@ToyJesusLovesTequilla]

@@GiRR007 I meant more mature as he becomes more aware of his responsibility and role as captain and taking care of his crew, more aware that he’s gotta be strong and prepared to fight off his foes, he’s still ridiculous in other ways though

[@TuWear]

​@@GiRR007Cringe is not boring? Cringe saps life away from a production and the animated one piece and manga have little depth for the characters, especially the female characters, but now they are deep characters and Nami is a major upgrade, a possible best character for the show.

I love seeing KZbinrs who I have watched in the past that aren’t necessarily in the One Piece sphere get into the series through the live action adaptation

I hate it, every review they tell they haven't seen it like it's not obvious, every review is the same.

[@GL1TCH-MASK]

The duality of man

[@kyoww]

I thought Arlong was weird at first, but the actor did such a great job that I loved in the end

[@KojiCT]

It's great that they made him 20cm taller after how small he was in the trailer.

[@onizuka]

same, trailers and stills... made him look awful. but the show arlong did just fine.

[@Awtsuu]

His voice was menacing And the way they play trap music in the background whenever he's on screen is a nice touch... It really gives a gangster vibe to him

[@Cander5142]

This is what I kept telling people when they said the show would be shit based on just the trailer and stills. Context goes a long way. The actors make or break a character.

[@amuro9624]

He did such a good job at sounding intimidating and imposing respect. I'd even go as far as to say I had more respect for this version of arlong than the original. This one felt like a gangsta while the original had more of a douchebag surfer vibes

[@Centuries_of_Nope]

One reason it works, is the cast has great natural chemistry. The casting was absolutely perfect.

[@TheBlueArmageddon]

Odd because I saw people complain that the female actors weren't hot enough /j

[@sonicsnake44]

Agree great casting. That part were they play the og theme was fantastic.

[@EatDIrt-fm3xn]

what's crazy is that compared to how they are in the live action, how they interact in REAL LIFE is more accurate to the anime/manga

[@drewjn]

I think the only thing I felt they could have done better was strengthen Usopp's role in Syrup village. The original had pirates beating the crap out of him as he tried to stall them from getting to the village. It's also nice to note that Oda did point out that if we were to consider ethnicity, he did envision Luffy to be Brazillian. This sort of tracks if you consider Dragon's skin tone.

[@NneonNTJ]

Usopp gets beaten up a couple of times a long the line so they can still do stuff like that, it's clear they just super condensed everything and i think that's the way to go with this show. It flows better as well

[@fenix_tx_1342]

I believe Oda specifically talked about nationalities, not ethnicities. Saying Brazilian it's like saying American, these countries are way too young to be used as ethnicities, both have whites, blacks, asians, natives, mixed, etc. Which one is it when he said Brazilian? Which one would it be when someone says American?

[@ImAviex]

@@NneonNTJ Yeah but the point is in Syrup Village Usopp's goal was to make it so "The pirates were coming." was still a lie and refused to let it come true, he put his body on the line to protect Kaya and the village. Where in the LA he's kind of just there, he shoots one time at Kuro and stays with Kaya who doesn't believe him until Nami shows up and echoes what he said. Also the breakneck speed they did the first couple episodes made it so they had to jamfist Zoro's backstory into Syrup Village making it feel more like his arc than Usopps. I agree it has to be condensed but if they didn't force an awful b plot with the entire garp coby helmeppo saga they would have had more than enough time to better flesh out the straw hats and their moments.

[@Buttstonutts]

I was disturbed by the lack of Usopp hammer

[@teeman7137]

I didnt watch the anime but I love the idea of Usopp getting away healthy after a fight while everyone is on death door. I find it funny but even on the live action he gets beaten at the end.

My wife never watched anime or foreign films really, one night I saw the live action Kenshin thumbnail and I loved the series back in the day so I popped it on. I was expecting to be told to put on something else, but, She loved it and so did I.

[@techman7971]

Honestly as a fan who caught up its so strange honestly so strange that how close one to one the back stories were to the manga but visual see it in the anime feels nostalgic. Then hearing the very first theme song in a very grand version actually made me tear up. Because not too long ago, they put the first theme song in episode 1000 in the anime. Oh i honestly love when the bounties go over their face and its interactive.

[@Isnogood12]

Yeah the wanted posters are a huge thing for the pirates in the show so it was genius of them to have the characters interact with them. It was just the right amount of cartoony and dare I even say it, COOL AF!

[@thevolta89]

[@ancientslav4863]

I've watched the first season in one day. First 5 minutes are so cringe, it hurt to watch. Gol d. Roger's execution exposed the low budget hiring and much more. Tho the more, it came in every episode. Really bad camera work, mediocre directorship. Actors are like if you go to a anime expo and hire the cosplayers. The acting is really mediocre. B or C actors Mostly. Diversity hires, transgender Koby and more. Zoro is good, but acts like post time skip, and not pre time skip. luffy, tho, 10 shades more brown, a Mexican, is likeable...kinda. Its not luffy, its like a ´more childish less serious luffy (during fights especially) Buggy's actor is top tier, perhaps the best actor in the whole show. Also, the animators are good. But what really shines are the props - everything in the series feels like one piece. Boats, world, places houses, rooms, furniture, items, books.... Acting is the weakest part. And to me, I hate diversity hires. If you have a transgender in the show, have him/her cause they Are good, and not BECAUSE they are trans. Damn...The trans that plays Koby is the weakest actor there. I could act Koby better, and I look more like Sanji got a cut, dammit This show, according to what I saw, could have been a legendary 10/10 adaptation. As it is rn, it's like a 5 or 6/10. But... It could have been also dragon ball evolution or death note movie bad, so....its not that bad. How to have made it better: Leave out the Koby "actor" Give Garp a serious tone, not this British tea drinking gay sounding guy Make Luffy more serious during fights and give him -10 shades of brown (sorry Godoy, not sorry) 14:44 Alex :D Nami should lose belly fat and get a proper wig, not this orange mop Zoro needs to be pre time skip, not post time skip in S1 (you kidding me?) Give Buggy actor and the props people a damn raise! Ambient sound during dialogues is sometimes completely off, especially during the Geko island visit Give Usopp a damn nose - the guy playing him has such a small nose, I constantly see white Michael Jackson in brown with buff arms Shanks needs to be charismatic, not feel like your neighborhood candy shop owner who likes apples and kids etc etc etc

Since Angry Joe asked for an explanation: Basically, if you eat a cursed fruit, you lose buoyancy, your powers are supposed to stop working (though this is inconsistent) and you can't swim. Also, being immersed in non-salt water can greatly weaken you (There's some hilarious images of Luffy looking drained while taking a bath.) However, you can get splashed with regular water and be fine. Depth also matters: it's a little inconsistent, but as long as it's only waist high, Luffy is usually fine.

[@JackDManheim]

thank you; that was exactly the explanation i was looking for

[@EVILEST14]

No, sir you are wrong. Powers do in fact stop working 100% while under sea water or while restrained by kairoseki, that's the whole point of those handcuffs and Smoker's Jitte. The weakness has always been only in sea water, regular water doesn't affect the fruit users, it never has. That why the in lore legend says that if you eat a DF the ocean will come to hate you, keyword being OCEAN.

[@EVILEST14]

@@nworder4life exactly, I don't know where he gets all that BS from!

[@sugartoothYT]

@@EVILEST14 to add another stack to this, you are very wrong. "Losing powers" is too vague, because there are several characters who retain passive traits of their powers despite being influenced by the water. For instance Luffy can still stretch though submerged and Chopper doesn't revert to just being a reindeer. Logias though for instance have all their powers shut down. Secondly it's 100% true that ANY WATER, salt or fresh water can affect fruit users (e.g. Luffy got affected by the rising water in Rainbase, which is fresh lake water), this is very literally told by Oda in the question corners of the manga, the key is whether they are significantly submerged or not. Showers or rain for instance canonically don't weaken them, but in Enies Lobby Nami noted that Kalifa should be weakened when she was playing in her bathtub.

[@HaezeusYT]

Oda would’ve never let his golden goose get soiled by something like Netflix trying to take full creative control, he just wouldn’t allow it. With that being said, this is what happens when you respect the source material people will like you’re show and it helps newer viewers get into the series without feeling pressured to watch 1073 episodes

[@edwardnowakowski5990]

As far as Usopp being useless early in the series. Pretty much, although the live action did nerf some of his best qualities. Like, in the anime, he could aim a cannon perfectly. But honestly, he only has a handful of moments early in the series where he’s courageous enough to be helpful, but when the chips are down, he will be brave and come through, even though he really would rather do anything else.

[@burlyb933]

Or like how he literally out ran a fishman, they could’ve atleast pointed that out

[@Josephus_da_Killer]

Usopps fight with the Fishman was way too short it was a great moment that made me like him a lot more. I think if they kept his internal monolog while he is laying down covered in ketchup would have been a good and relatively short addition.

If you’re worried about not having time to watch the anime, you could monetize the time commitment by watching together, filming, and uploading as videos in a reaction/watch along format.

[@BucksLAN]

As someone that has watched the anime for 20 years and read the manga for 12 years, the live action really was a great success. I'm impressed with how they were able to condense 45 ish episodes in the anime down to 8 full length episodes on Netflix. I left the final episode wanting more, wanting a season 2 (hopefully we get it). The characters were done really well, from the crew to the villains. I'd love for both Joe's to watch the anime sometime, but I understand how busy you guys are. Even setting aside an hour or two a day to watch 3-6 episodes is still going to take you roughly half a year to catch up.

[@PhazeyBlur]

SPOILER ALERT for early anime episodes. I can't believe they botched Zoro's introduction story, if you watched the anime then you can probably tell what i'm talking about... Yes they omitted the real reason why Zoro got himself tied up to the pole and changed it to just him being a bad ass all along. A compliant bad-ass lol. With what's going on under the radar right now* , if you connect the dots, it all makes sense to me. It's like Nflx executives has a problem depicting strong adults sacrificing themselves to help weak children or something. Surely it could be done with just a few lines atleast, if you're arguing it's because of time constraints. *(Sound of fr33dom, endymiontv did a good coverage if you're interested in that rabbit-hole)

The adaptations to Usopp's arc definitely made it so only his negative side ('boy who cried wolf') was given screen time. There is a whole different side of him that basically shows how lies are his way of life to deal with his own cowardice. He makes up ridiculous lies ('I have an army of a thousand followers!') which he then uses to trick his opponents and slowly gain an edge in the midst of a conflict... but unfortunately the way his arc was heavily modified he basically did nothing in his own arc, which was very unfortunate.

[@wchenful]

He is definitely the least developed of the Strawhat crew so far but I think it's not a big issue. Oda has already said that they're really committed to fully fleshing out the characters and their backstories. Nami was definitely the central focus of this season but in the near future we're going to be getting more Usopp development (I'm guessing you know what's coming up) and the creators might have simply pushed some of his development later into the storyline since they are re-ordering a lot of stuff for pacing purposes.

That said, from my perspective, the key point of Don Krieg was to SHOW how brutal the Grand Line can be. So, downside is we lose that story note. However, if we get a Season 2, they're going to have to figure out another way to bring in that note since the Straw Hats will be going into the Grand Line.

Usopp in the anime was very annoying early on and didn't grow into a decent character until much later. This actor did a great job of nailing the balance of capturing his personality while toning down what we disliked about him.

[@Cetran]

I believe the cut version is called 'One Pace' to fix the pacing issues of later episodes. The pacing of the actual show actually starts off alright and doesnt really get bogged down until around the Thrillerbark Arc. EDIT: As for Usopp, his role is that of Sniper and while it does take him a LONG time to really come into his own, he does actually fill a role later on.

I'm sure a hundred other commenters have already said it, but Sea water in general weakens and saps the energy from devil fruit users, hence why they are unable to swim, and generally unable to use their powers when immersed in water of any kind. It's the deal you make when eatin any of the devil fruits, and absolutely will come up many more times in the series, don't you worry. As an edit: I will also say that they cut one ofn Usopp's fights, since Usopp DID end up fighting in his own arc in the original, but because they cut out that whole 2nd in command to Kuro, they also cut out pretty much all of his cool moments :/

[@wringwraither4827]

It does need to be seawater though, not just any water will work. We see the straw hat crew do just fine taking baths and playing in water parks. It also should be said that it's usually sticks to needing to be at least knee high to cause an effect. I believe we see Luffy walk in ankle high sea water several times throughout the series. It's why the physical representation of the sea is called "seastone" and not waterstone.

To clarify how the Devil Fruits work; you gain incredible powers that are immeasurable but you are cursed and hated by the sea and lose the ability to swim. Due to the nature of the fruits you gain powers like fire, lightning, darkness, rubber, think of anything with your imagination and it could be a power. Once a devil fruit eater dies their devil fruit power and all the knowledge the user has obtained about that fruit is regrown randomly in the world. And anyone can find it again and eat it, or even sell it. There are also three types of devil fruits; Zoan, Logia, Paramecia Zoan types; zoan type fruites allows the users to transform into an animal at will. Or if an animal eats a zoan, they will be half human/animal with powers. (Luffy, Chopper) Logia; Logia type fruits are the rarest type. These fruits allow the user to transform into a natural element, like smoke or fire. (Cap. Smoker, Fire Fist Ace) Paramecia; paramecia fruits allow the user to unlock the ability to become super human, or achieve superhuman like feats. (Big Mom, Boa Hancock, Charlotte Katakuri) Later on in the series the devil fruits are able to be manufactured. But these fruits are discounts and aren't as strong as real devil fruits. The strangest thing about the devil fruits. Is that despite all the knowledge and how well known they are on the Grand Line and The New World. The origins of where they come from are still unknown.

(At least a lot of people say it's their favorite.) I'm glad we finally have another anime live action that is up there with the Kenshin live actions.

What you were referring to is called ''One Pace'' it's a project done by a bunch of dedicated fans and they basically removed all fillers, episode recaps and scenes that are dragged down.

[@TheExecutorr]

it changes a lot of the details in the arcs, but it captures the characters so well, it feels like if things had played out like this instead of like in the manga, the charatcers would have behaved exactly like in the live action. It has the heart and soul of One Piece, and that is what matters.

[@Darkeep12]

This is what happens when you actually respect your fans and the vision of the creator of the source material.

Rurouni Kenshin Live action movie is also very good for an anime adaptation. Total of 5 movies although there are a few ways to watch the movies since they filmed like a prequel and sequel thing. Zoro's live-action actor Mackenryu played the villain Eishun in the final Kenshin movie and he was a bad-ass. Gamera Rebirth just came out and it is really good as is basically Stranger Things with Gamera thrown into.

Honestly hasn’t been a show that’s hooked and dragged me in for ages, what a show! congrats Netflix

[@SogonD.Zunatsu]

Weird how Joe doesn't know the anime but is very opinionated on how faithfully adapted the characters and moment are. 😅

[@callmejoel2527]

I still think to this day that the best anime adaption to live action is Rurouni Kenshin. All 5 movies are great.

[@CosmoLav]

My favorite is Alice in Borderland on Netflix. Those 2 seasons were excellent.

[@Sant323]

Take it from my ex - she was absolutely anti-anime and every time I would watch One Piece she would constantly rag on me about watching a kids show. Then she gets to Nami's part of the story and today she says "1,000+ episodes isn't enough" 😂🤣 She's all in from there, to the point that she was even watching One Piece during her break at work and while she's riding her motorcycle. No matter what, she was determined to catch up and made the time to catch up. I promise you that if you guys give the anime a chance, you will feel the same way. I myself have re-watched the series three times (and a 4th time when she got into it ❤). If you're going to skip the filler, I think the one filler you should absolutely not skip is the G-8 arc. It takes place just before the long ring long land arc and most fans WISH G-8 was canon. It's on the same level as the driving episode from Dragon Ball Z.

Honestly, as a big fan of the anime/manga I think that even with the problems it does have it s a 8-8.5. Better than you could ever hope for as a Netflix-live action anime adaptation. Most of the problems it does have are just a result of there being only 8 episodes. For instance, I feel like if they had 10 episodes there could have been so much more detail included. And I thought that post Syrup village everything went quite fast. Especially Baratie, since it got the biggest downsizing of any arc. With Don Krieg being basically cut out. Although I understand that choice. The same could be said with the Arlong Park arc. If a season 2 does happen, I would hope they could get a couple more episodes. Especially since the arcs get bigger, more crazy.

[@Phanthief95]

That’s why I give it an 8. It just needed another episode or two just to let some moments breathe.

[@92EEM]

Usopp serves an important role as a sort of normal person baseline to compare to the other characters' power levels. But with time, you'll end up loving all the One Piece characters including Usopp. Glad to see Joe becoming a One Piece fan. Welcome to the crew Joe ;)

[@edgarbriseno6210]

i loved how he resisted to liking it, happened to me to lol

[@2iq371]

the shorter anime is called One Pace. and it cuts all the stuff older anime dose to not catch up with the manga while it's still on going because a good anime episodes would be 2 chapters of manga(more or less it depends) my recommendation for anyone who want to get into one piece is either one pace for the anime or colored version of the manga.

[@blueflare3848]

So it cuts out the filler.

[@Wimplo86]

I appreciate that they made the East Blue villains way more threatening. What frustrated me in the anime was that it was obvious Luffy or Zoro could take them down right away but stupid circumstances kept them from doing so.

[@ladderlappen4585]

stupid circumstances still do that in the netflix series.

One Piece is my favorite anime, tied with Fullmetal, and after seeing what Netflix did to that, Bebop, Death Note, and so many others, I was terrified of what this was going to become, even with Oda's involvement. When I say that my expectations were shattered, that's an understatement. This series landed so brilliantly. The actors, most of them, captured the spirit of their characters so well, and the writing, action, choreography, and so much else was done so well. I'm not happy with all the changes they made, particularly introducing Garp so early instead of Smoker, and blowing the reveal of his relationship with Luffy, but I accept the limitations of the medium, and the fact that the original sources still exist allow me to buy in because it's so well done. My favorite part of this entire success story, however, is watching people like Joe and OJ who have almost no experience with anime want to pick up the series and explore more of the genre. I can't congratulate the cast, crew, and Oda enough. Very, very well done! A 9/10 for me!

[@Kilgore2k12]

believe in Oda.

Yeah the whole sea water weakness thing has been changed or rather explained better, basically if you are submerged in standing water or sea water rather it's basically kryptonite. The splashing working to weaken DF users isn't cannon but it's been in non cannon films and gags so people often think that's how it works.

[@StitchRizz90]

Logically is should work that way. Sea stone cuffs only touch the wrists but takes away all their power.

[@maiwei]

I'm sad about the lion not being there, or Jango, or HACHI. Also Zoro being super serious makes sense, but I hope they have him chill out a bit more and starts calling out attacks like Asura. Stoked to see how Chopper gets adapted and I think Alabasta would be best done in 2 parts considering all of the fights and the lore we get from it. Too much to compress imo.

[@paulgibbon5991]

The problem with naming attacks is the same that adaptations of Spiderman have--lengthy talking mid-fight can work in a comic or animation, when it's easy to have a big speech bubble or use visual tricks to have 10-second disgressions in the middle of a fight. It doesn't work so well in live-action, unless you can contrive a reason everyone stops fighting for a few seconds.

[@wchenful]

Couldn't afford Hachi :(

[@maiwei]

@@paulgibbon5991 there are many ways to work around that. The character doesn't have to actually say the attack. They could put flashy text on screen after the finishing blow for example (have it done in cool slo-mo).

[@taterboob]

Luffy’s VA in Japan is the same as Krillin, and the funny thing is that Usopp and Krillin share a VA in the English dub. I watched the first episode last night, and laughed out loud when I heard “Binks’ Sake” being played in the background. Brook’s got my second favorite backstory of the bunch after Sanji, so that song hits me in a special place.

[@Lhight85]

During the One Shot versions of Romance Dawn, there were these pirate distinction that existed within the One Piece world. To define them: Morganeers: Pirates who go out an pillage and plunder are classed as Morganeers. Peace Mains: Pirates who seek adventure on the seas and feed on Morganeers are known as Peace Mains.

[@fricki1997]

I'm so glad this show is turning out great. Hopefully this'll set a precedent of sticking more to the source material when doing adaptions. There's a reason why they have been so successful after all.

[@dweblinveltz5035]

Alita Battle Angel was an amazing adaptation. Hard to say one is better than the other, since this is a whole series.

[@SchinTeth]

I love the look of it, it felt weird at first but once it grows on you its perfect. I think its because they kinda translate some of the anime looks into live action that makes it look a bit cheesy but it fits very well with the series

[@CLoveBeauty]

lol..so true. So cheesy at first but tryna adapt to live action takes time.
