The CGI of Stretchy Powers

[@AfroX-StayLegendary]

Stretch powers check so many boxes. Practical, Offensive, Defensive, Preventative, and Humorous…it really is the everything power.

Don't forget Jake from Adventure Time either, he could literally be changed into a suit, and also had an episode where he made an entire world inside of himself by stretching. He also got stretched to his limit in one episode where he was stretched out thin. An interesting character to research if you do a second video on this.

Luffy really puts the whole ‘stretchy powers are too hard’ argument into a box

[@Troygdesign]

It warms my heart to see luffy front and center

[@itstorsan2090]

You are the Bob Ross of movie reviews

[@y.reviews]

I'll take it. 🎨

[@Ram_Stan]

Definitely a key difference of Luffy's powers is the use of tension and momentum. This gives it more of a focus on power while the others (minus Kamala) are more focused on creativity. (Great video, lots of great examples)

[@margielatagg]

plastic man’s power isn’t really STRETCHING, it’s more of an ability to change his molecular structure to ANYTHING he wants, he can even increase his mass to become stronger and he’s damn near immortal, the only” weakness” he has is the temperature, if it’s too hot he melts if it’s too cold he freezes and you’re able to break him into small pieces, but it won’t last long because he’ll come back like nothing happened

[@annonymousannonymous9586]

In the Steven Universe franchise the character Spinel has Stretch Powers as well, which goes well with her whole Rubber-Hose animated thing, she can extend, compress, expand, twist & warp her body in all sorts of ways, sizes & shapes, even without any battle experience she was able to give our heroes a challenge, plus when she used a Syth based weapon she was truly a force to be reconed with, Spinel was a good example of how Stretch powers can be used well in combat(and to have a good time with friends).

[@eternalgaming5295]

plastic man isn't made of rubber, he is comprised of a polymer substance closer to plastic and has full control over every atom of his body. he is unbelievably powerful. so much so when the justice league was a regime of ruthless "heroes" hunting down other heroes that didn't join them they wouldn't mess with plastic man even in a 6v1

[@casterivo]

Facts

[@MemeEnergy-hh1tz]

Stretchy characters must be so fun to animate 😂

[@zigfaust]

I seriously remember all the One Peice fans fighting me tooth and nail saying they couldnt do Luffy's powers live action. It's a shame you didnt cover Parasyte Part 1 and 2 because they influenced how the OP crew animated his powers. Seriously, Parastye 1 and 2 perfected live action body stretching.

[@muhammedhabib2286]

They did a live action parasyte movie? Neva knew

[@zigfaust]

@@muhammedhabib2286 They did TWO becasue they didnt want to cut anything. And they mixed CG with puppetry so that the morphing and stuff looks really fucking good. It's def one of the best anime adaptations ever.

[@resof]

Isn't its the Korean live action one? Or did they make Japanese one too?

[@zigfaust]

@@resof The Japanese one with the body horror and aliens.

[@gheata_playz874]

I wanna see them so badly lol

[@bontonexofficial5075]

What I love about one piece’s live action is how they didn’t hold back with the bizarre parts of the one piece world at all. You’d imagine of all shows, the one that focuses around a goofy rubber man would be the hardest to adapt to live action, and that they’d try to make it too serious, but mans just ballooned up and it worked Same kind of thing for the den den mushi. They’re just straight up fugly snails and it’s charming

[@CornettoMcLovin]

I really, really love these videos going over every example of a certain power. Great stuff!

[@y.reviews]

🙏

[@Teetseremoonia]

There is also Fantastic four 1994 unreleased movie. X-men had senator Robert Kelly turned into some stretchy watery creature by Magneto. There's also Flubber and the mask.

[@y.reviews]

That X-Men scene is a good pull. Should've had that in there.

[@toastycarp]

Great job on the video!! From the chill vibes to the informative history on things I’ve never thought of, always glad to see a new upload

[@y.reviews]

Always appreciated Toasty Carp.

[@Matt-xg7nb]

Elastigirl also turned into a boat lol

[@DanDoesDnD]

Honestly, i think half of those "inspirations" you listed from one piece were actually originally inspired BY one piece. Especially the bullet scene, thats one of the most iconic kind of shots from early one piece.

[@aspect0700]

Your reviews are so freaking authetic dude, keep up the work!

[@y.reviews]

Trying my best 👍

[@JoehenryHouston]

And elastic man from V-squad 😊🎉

[@rishabhjain2805]

One Piece didn't get the inspiration from all the other media, all the other media got inspiration from One Piece. They are all One Piece References. Live action just adapted all the same stuff that happened in anime and manga which came way before flash and other live action tv series/ movies

[@y.reviews]

If that's true then all the better. Not trying to make it a competition, just figured it was fun to point out similarities.

[@rokudodamaza]

Minus The Mask and Sky High. And the bullet bouncing off Luffy is the first time Zoro sees Luffy's power, iconic for fans in my opinion but I doubt everything took inspiration from One Piece and vice versa when it comes to stretchy ideas. Though I'm sure the show runners have at least seen Sky High and The Mask

[@fn9six]

This channel is SEVERELY underrated

[@SoupSaladSandwhich]

For Kamala in the comics its a mix of her inhuman genes and the terrigen mist activating her powers. in the MCU version she is a "mutant" where the bangle gives her the mysticle light powers

[@HostileMustache]

my homepage knows what i like, that's probably the first time i saw a new video on my homepage

[@kingcobraarchie]

What I find so funny is that almost all of these characters have practically the exact same powers but use them different because they're goofy and extremely dependant on creativity. Plastic man is one of the most powerful characters in all of dc when he actually gets serious and because all of these people are so similar they could all technically be much more powerful than they seem to be in their respective media. I love it

[@chiensheng-ting991]

Love Luffy! Didn’t know there are so many stretch power out there ❤

[@sourdough812]

i know its 2d animation but mezo shouji from mha has one of the coolest versions of stretchy powers. f.y.i he has a power that allows him to stretch and add more appendages to his body they can be eyes, ears, and hands. and his hands can have webbing that help sheild himself or others.

[@taqresu5865]

Kinda. There are a fair number of constraints and limitations, like it only seems feasible with his arms, and he's not quite as versatile as plastic man or Luffy. Speaking of which, I wouldn't be surprised if Horikoshi makes a Luffy inspired character.

[@LinguiniP]

One piece just goes to show how an adaptation SHOULD be as true to the source material as possible. I hate hearing people say "If you wanted the original, play/watch the original."

[@alejandroibarra2009]

14:04 The "Haaa" 😂😂

[@sijoneyyan]

So happy you mentioned Secret life of Walter Mitty. One of the best.

[@annonymousannonymous9586]

The Krakens in the Dreamworks film Ruby Gillman Teenage Kraken also have stretch powers, which kind of makes sense seeing as how they are very octopus/squid-like in nature.

[@y.reviews]

Gotta watch that one.

[@_S_P_A_C_E_M_A_N_]

The secret life of Walter Mitty is an amazing movie. I highly recommend it. It's got a lot more soul than the clip would suggest.

[@y.reviews]

Agreed.

[@zurdid2994]

I remember from Teen Titans that there was a character named Madame Rouge, she also had stretchy powers along with the ability to shape shift into other people. Somehow she was even able to change her voice to sound like others as well. She's not well known but she's just as affective as other powerful characters.

[@Netbro678]

We need more evolution of powers type videos, it will us creatives to inspire and create

[@nomis...]

you should consider Rita Farr from Doom Patrol for a part 2, she shows how stretch powers are a curse more than anything

I thought that the elongated man was based on the same character as plastic man just the same charecter in 2 different shows

[@michaelparham1328]

Who could have guessed that sticking to the source material, would turn out to be the secret to making a live action adaptation of an anime be a world wide hit. On a non-sarcastic note, it's the windup and momentum that really make stretchy powers work in animation and cgi IMO. Noodles was actually some of my favorite visuals, though not when he supersized his hand. It's the implication that it's gaining mass, yet he moves it with the same dexterity as if it had very little mass. I'm surprised Tom Hardy's Venom didn't make the list.

[@y.reviews]

Damn you're right. That would've been a good one.

[@SeanKing-o6r]

[@bananaman3187]

Gonna be honest I think I would watch a stretch Armstrong action movie

[@Ashton1954]

[@inflatableotter]

You should've included Love Sausage from the boys

[@togodejabuleiro]

Ezekiel wasn't the only stretcher in the boys. Re'member' that other guy? Yeah, THAT guy. I think he deserved a mention at least 😅

[@gamepitchway3500]

The trick to a proper adaptation is follow the source material and change little to nothing only adding to it's already greatness e.g The last of us series, one piece, House of the dragon etc. The fans fell in love with those materials because of what they are.

[@yourmom8845]

some changes can be for the better though and also some adaptations just dont work, and they may not be small ones that dont work either. The trick is definitely following source material but maybe putting a slightly different spin to it, if you just copy and paste things get boring. Like live action disney movies, at least for me.

[@theamazingspooderman2697]

One Piece wasn't completely source accurate

[@The_actual_real_Spider-man]

gatling wasnt a refrence in the live action one piece its a move he does in the manga and anime dont know why you didnt show that while you were showing gum gum pistol gum gum whip gum gum rocket

[@YungTony]

If you do another one of these I think Upgrade from Ben 10 would be a cool one to look into!

[@YeetoTheYeetafic]

Luffy's attacks in the live action are definitley based on the things they look like because they probably used it as a base for their live action CGI, but in the anime, it is it's own thing, especially now in the gear 5.

[@lightwisp2135]

If they ever get to gear 5 in the love action, I wonder how they'll handle it

I believe you forgot Stretch Monster. Stretch Armstrong and Stretch Monster came out in the mid to late 1970s ish.

[@shroomer8294]

They did Kamala’s powers so dirty in the MCU. From my perspective the whole point of her stretchy powers was that they were kinda awkward aesthetically as opposed to Mr. Fantastic’s more tactical use or Plasticman’s comedic style. That gets lost when they give her hard light powers instead.

I personally like the Battle Axe just a bit more, but only because it showcased how absolutely destructive his power can be.

[@WadePietersen]

@@markamanic tbh yeah, the Battle AXE scene is defs my number 2 scene of the movie :-) once again, the actors intense scream brings that move to life and gives it a ton of weight behind the attack, perfectly executed so I agree with u, except that Gattling is number 1 for me personally :-)
