The Problem With One Piece Movies

[@sebastianbeyer6897]

I want one piece movies in the style of the fan letter showing more of the straw hats day to day interaction. Best to make it a collection of short storys. Like how sanji is able to keep up with zoro who trains constantly by simply guarding the crews food supplys from luffy.

[@gabrielgoes0]

That would be awesome. And not even about the Straw Hats only, about the small characters just like Fan Letter did. Even on its measly 25 minutes run time, it's still better than any OP movie

[@HugHeist]

I've only seen Film Red but my biggest issue with it is that the plot is clearly created to put as many fan favorite characters on screen as possible. When the plots constructed not to create a good, well written story but instead to have the audience clap and cheer whenever their favorite characters are on screen like it's a celebrity cameo in a sitcom, the actual story obviously suffers for it.

[@angelcat2865]

Agreed 💯

[@MyNamesHunter75]

Issue is it's a movie plot for me I don't hate the film I love the music in it but that's also just because I like ado's music and voice, but I really don't get why they added the big mom pirates out of the entire one piece roster I only care about really 1 big mom pirate and that's kat and he was in it for like 2 or 3 scenes, do not care about oven and his sister I think it's because wano kinda soured my taste for big mom pirates. It's a fine one piece film but as a standalone product it's pretty average to below average as a movie. I'm also very torn on uta she is extremely weird to me I don't have issues with her being shanks adopted daughter but her actions make 0 sense in the grand scheme of things and felt forced, I also lowkey feel like she crushes hard on luffy but that's just headcanon

[@patriciocarrasco7641]

one piece has at this point the reputation to make a movie without focusing on the strawhats, they could make canon movies of events we are not going to explore in the manga. Payback War and Rocky Port incident are prime candidates for that

[@Yosh7437]

Man i think of many movie ideas 1. God valley incident 2. Enel moon war with space pirates 3. Mihawk v shanks first meeting 4. Mihawk v previous strongest swordsman They dont have to base EVERY movie around the strawhats, you can make a side thing other crews especially past events i think that would be wild lore that fits perfectly within the series and giving abit of hype to the previous generations.

[@anonymousbutterfly2601]

If only they did like the hunter x hunter movie about the previous spider before Hisoka. Like there's a lot to explore in the world that can be canon and relevant, instead of this save the world plot every time.

[@Charley-ju6yg]

The god valley incident would without a doubt draw in a lot of attention and money. At this point, I'm pretty sure the only reason we haven't gotten that for a movie yet, is very likely because Oda intends on covering it in the manga, hence it can't be adapted as a movie

[@not_joanpro9205]

I think they are scared to not include strawhats, they dont adapt the cover stories to the anime bc of that, at the start of one piece they tried doing it with the buggy cover story and went bad financially.

[@madel23-u9z]

just like yugioh anime kept focusing on boys playing the card game, even tho through out the years they crafted a lot of cards with rich lore behind it

[@Samuelgsw]

actually they do, otherwise they won't get the money. A newly animated marineford movie would be interesting tho. Since it doesn't entirely revolve around the straw hats.

[@tellos02]

I personally think they should make films based on past canon events, step away from the straw hats maybe focus on things that happened during the two year time skip payback war, Akainu vs Kuzan etc

[@romkin1197]

There's another issue with the One Piece films. When you only watch the anime or manga or heck even both, then you find out that a One Piece film drops, it's usually dropping in the middle of an arc, which makes 0 sense especially when it comes to Film Red where you have Big Mom be a part of the film as well as her "family", yet in the Manga/Anime we are already fighting Kaido if i recall. So the time line isn't very smooth for it. Not talking about how the Anime/Manga have no mention of the movies themselves.

[@Junosensei]

The movies from Strong World on are officially considered alt-canon, where the events of the manga/anime are happening very slightly differently and out of order (for the convenience of the marketing). Each movie has a moment where the characters briefly mention events before they arrived, for context. And case in point, Oda drew a short story Uta in the manga canon with a slightly different history than Uta in the movies, meaning she's presumably still doing fine in the manga's world.

[@RedXlV]

That's an issue with movies of ongoing manga in general, not just One Piece. Just look at the Dragon Ball movies that were made while that manga was still ongoing. Almost all of them are completely impossible to fit into the canon timeline, because even though that series has lots of timeskips, none of those really left an opportunity for the whole cast to come back together for an anime-exclusive story, so they didn't even *try* to make the movies canon-compliant. Instead, Toei just had each DBZ movie line up with the general vibe of whatever season of the anime was airing at the time. And that's set the standard for how almost all movies of shonen manga are done ever since, including One Piece. (The only exceptions being when a movie is a direct adaptation of a manga arc, or when the movie takes place after the manga ends.) That's generally just how it goes, because most manga have pretty limited space to insert filler stories that wouldn't contradict the canon.

[@BuggyDaGoat]

Just make a movie about Buggy D Goat and make a Bugzillion dollars. Simple.

I still don’t understand how the movies and anime fillers don’t use the sea of stories Oda explicitly said he couldn’t dive into so he has to throw them away in a SBS. Like Kidd’s stories or the Rocky Port Incident. Both would make for awesome movies and would solve all the issues stated in the video. They would entice people with the canon-bait part by literally being a canon aspect of the story that never could have been dived into the manga proper.

[@theodorejenkins6066]

Seems to me that it's likely because if they did the rock port incident or god valley it would be considered cannon because we don't have very much shown in the manga for those incidents. If they did a movie about them then it would be cannon and movies don't get to be cannon on one piece.

[@jordanvance1657]

Because without the strawhats the movies wouldn't do well

[@GrandLineReview]

It's because they're afraid to make a movie without Luffy and the Straw Hats.

[@KingJH0510]

Unless they make movies about actual canon events, for example god valley, i dont think the one piece movies will ever be more than just a spectacle Which is honestly fine for me. And its also why i think stampede was so good because it put all of its eggs in that basket and created a situation where we got all of these characters gathered in one place to have a huge battle

[@RedXlV]

I would imagine that a God Valley movie will never happen because Oda plans to keep trickling out that story in flashbacks in the manga. And once the full reveal of the Rogers vs Rocks fight happens, the hype for a movie of it would vanish.

[@ifnarta]

I think because it really plays with straw hats in a way that you don't see and it also came before the strawhats actually split up (if i remember correctly) and shows what happens to luffy when he loses what he cares about. It's also a pretty good anime horror film. I think not only as a one piece movie but anime movie in general it's pretty solid where i'd say most other one piece films are pretty average as actual films to below average. I think they played with secret island the most and it works it's just not one piece but I think that's a good thing because it does feel very unique and stands out plus the horror aspect of it I loved

In my opinion the perfect One Piece movie would be a Movie that tells a canon event that Oda Is not going to bother in showing on the Manga. Like, make a movie about The Rocky Port Incident. Or every major event that somehow happened Offscreem. Or a canon movie that Is like a Flashback so dosn't affects the events of the Manga. A movie that gives you a reason to watch it.

I completely agree with the closing thoughts, I watched Gold and Stampeede at home and found them a bit boring but later they screened them in our local cinema and the experience was fantastic, great films, very funny, would watch them again

[@CrimsonCos]

I watched film Gold two nights ago, and knew there was a reason I liked it. It is basically a filler arc, but with a focus on the strawhats, and brilliant animation. Regrettably it has little focus on Tesoro, but it’s good moments outweigh the bad. It even had little cameos of characters such as Absalom when Luffy and Franky were scaling the tower. It’s unfortunate that we likely won’t get another movie like it again anytime soon

[@bran_d_on_kudzi]

I think the only way the next One Piece movie can be better (financially for the producers and for the audience) is if they adapt one of the many untold "incidents" that are scattered throughout the story. Something like a God valley movie or even about the 10 day battle between Kuzan and Sakazuki would be very good. There is so much potential because the story itself has such great world building that you don't even need the SHC to be there to get people interested i.e the Fan letter

Some plots for the future movies that don't require extensive cameos, have minimal/no affect on the ongoing story, don't require a world threatening villian or any of those. 1. The story of how Zoro trained himself to become a three-sword style swordsman and how he earned the title of "Pirate Hunter" a name by which he is still well known across the one piece world. 2. How Mihawk became the world's greatest swordsman and acquired the Black Blade after mastering swordsmanship. 3. The God Vally Incident. These are few ideas but there are countless mysteries in one piece that should have a movie of their own. Seeing how close we are to actually claiming the One Piece, all these mysteries can be turned into movies and maybe have annual releases with every Jump Festo or something. Maybe you can drop a post asking the Grand Fleet which mystery they want as a movie and then explore those exciting ideas in a future video 🤷🏻‍♂️

Dead end adventure is still one of the best one piece movies and it's only the fourth one , movie 6 is easily top 3 ,both were relatively low stakes with the crew bonds and adventures being the main theme We don't need over the top concepts and stakes , and oda cramming movie characters into the canon to make it more engaging and act like it was like that all the time (uta is just bullshit we all know it ) We just need great writing and directing

[@aleeceb4993]

The part about the big movie monsters is kinda sad, honestly. Because one of the best fights in One Piece in my opinion actually was everyone vs giant monster...the fight against Orz in Thriller Bark. The thing is, though...that fight actually had more runtime than any of the movies. And thats not counting the buildup towards the fight that made it work so well. I feel like the only was to make that sort of fight really work is if it's given the time it needs to hit a lot of different notes. In a movie, I guess the closest thing that comes to mind would be something like the third Dragon Ball Super movie, where they spent about half the movie fighting Broly. Something like that is the only way I can really see one super huge fight working, by giving it the room it needs to breath, and actually make the story revolve around that fight, rather than tag it onto the story at the end for bonus points on flashiness. Like, make the whole movie about them trying to stop something like the island eating goldfish they met after Little Garden. Might actually solve most of the issues you addressed in the video.

[@ManyTanks1]

13:15 I feel Its still personal with Tot Musica even with it being the big CGI raid boss battle. not in the sense that we have a grand clash of ideals against Uta, but rather that we have to save someone from themselves as theyve gone completely off the deep end, and their abilities as a result completely overwhelming them. What she wanted to do to world’s population is wrong yes, but from what we learn about her and how she interacted with the world throughout the movie, we see firmly how she would come to this conclusion. And because of the physical and ideological interference with her plans by Luffy, the Admirals and Shanks causing her to move further and further towards madness (as evidenced by the increasingly esoteric and evil vibes of each subsequent song in the movie), she was forced into pressing the Big Red FU Button to get the plan back on track.

Create one movie per straw hat: each strawhat would have his own adventure and their own unique ways to beat the villain if you must have it. This way you could create a mini movie series and not worry about other strawhats' screentime. It could be a present time story or a past story 2. Create 'what if' movies: e.g., make a character do something which will lead everybody lose their haki and DF abilities, and then focus on just hand-to-hand combat or primary weapons like swords and guns. Make strawhats marines or bounty hounters, etc.

They should just make movies about characters like ace, show aces crew take down hanafuda or make a movie about the rocky port incident, this would be more risky because the straw hats wont be involved but I think it would work because the movies could be 100% cannon

[@RedXlV]

The story of Ace taking down Hanafuda would be the safest way to do a One Piece movie without the Straw Hats, because Ace remains massively popular. (15 years since he died, and he's still never dropped out of the top 10 in the popularity polls.) And Hanafuda means you've got a ready-made villain as well.

[@Typ35849]

@@RedXlV you can also just follow the standard arc formula

After this video I’m curious on your opinion on the current state of one piece video games. Story wise I do feel that they face a lot of similar issues to the movies (the ones that have an original story that is). My biggest issue with the one piece games is that they’re never dubbed (although this is a problem for a lot of anime games, unless it’s dragon ball or Naruto it’s not gonna get dubbed). As much as I respect the Japanese cast it’s annoying whenever there’s a cutscene that goes too fast for me to read! Also the funimation one piece cast is very underrated. It’s so rare for a dub cast to be around this long and be able to build up such a good vocal chemistry with each other! Also the one piece dub has some freedoms I think other current dubs don’t like these guys can get away with a ad libbed line here and there and it’s usually hilarious!

[@RowanPrice-p6o]

Dead End Adventure and Baron Omatsuri and the Secret Island are the kinds of OP movies I feel like we need more of honestly

[@murdoc296]

Young Figarland Garling was basically evil Shanks with a weird hairdo, they look almost identical. It was obvious at a glance that they're related somehow.

[@vuvo8060]

Next movie have to be a cannon event for a change like the Rocky Port Incident.

[@cruiser332]

I treat the movies as extra time where every character, even if long forgotten can have a glorious time to shine and just have fun with it!

[@K9_Lenny]

Honestly, I think they’ll incorporate a 2 part movie experience. First movie builds up to a tragic ending, 2nd part solves the problem that climaxed in part 1. It’ll give them time to build up hype from the first and allows the animators and producers to continue and build on a story rather than come up with a new one for a new movie. Would give them the freedom to include many cameos while also investing time into the villains and the protagonists.

[@charlesoutthere]

I wish the movies were either about the background / story / life of secondary characters, or about alternative timelines.

[@curvingphoenix]

That last line, man you got me laughing on that one

[@savagedeshawn1238]

I personally think it’d be cool to see some characters make appearances from a simple name drop to being in a flashback like Shiki and Uta being in somewhat canon. Z is a retired formal navy instructor, Gild Tesoro was an underground boss like Doffy and he heard what happened to Doffy, Saga was from Shimotsuki Village and Zoro’s best friend, and Douglass Bullet was apart of the Roger Pirates who had HEAVY HITTERS like Roger himself, Rayleigh, Gaban, and Oden. These are just a few characters from the movies I liked and it would’ve been nice to have a name drop or scene of these guys in the actual anime but they weren’t given the Shiki and Uta treatment

[@phantommonarch6199]

That's because those characters weren't made by Oda to be canon, so he doesn't include them in the story. Shiki was a pre-existing character that Oda decided to put in the movie, while Uta only got a silhouette, which implies to me that while, yes, she's canon, Oda will probably not do anything with her in the manga.

[@andersheyniger7615]

It’s such a bummer that Film Gold didn’t do as good as the other movies because it is genuinely so much fun. Great focus on the straw hats, super stylish, has a grand-scale casino theme which is the essence of fun, and is a goddamn heist movie. Along with that, it really does feel like an early one piece arc in a sense, despite being pretty well into the post timeskip. As much as I love the other movies, Film Gold is definitely my favorite 🤩

[@Roam85]

Movie 4, 6, Strong World, Gold, Z, Stampede, and Red were all fun

[@Angel-eu3qe]

One thing that I can say is that before Oda became the director for the films, One Piece Baron Omatsuri and the Secret Island was the best and is underated.

[@bh.76]

I can't understand how they are not making a movie on the time skip. I would love to watch the training everyone went through even if the movie didn't have climactic ending. In any action movie everyone loves the training bits.

[@willbrashear]

The second most undeniable thing: Luffy versus Zepher would make Franky and Senior Pink shed manly tears

[@RicardoLatore]

Earliest I've ever made it to a man on the internet video, trynna catch your drop times is like shanks trynna catch Blackbeard.

[@explodethebomb]

I don't understand why they wont make canon movies. Make a prequel movie about a pirate crew from before Luffy starts his adventure, a movie focusing on the adventure of a different worst generation crew, or even a movie covering what a strawhat was doing before joining the strawhat. Like imagine a movie covering Shanks and Mihawks rivalry before he lost his arm, or a movie on Law's adventure in the North blue, or even a movie about an event like the God Valley indecent. I'd actually watch the movies if they were canon

[@FrozunLightning]

It's interesting that you felt like Film Red upped the ante. I perceived it differently, like yeah the risk would have effected more people but it wasn't really a plan to destroy the world. It was kind of accidentally a possibility in the end because of the big bad monster route they ended up going down like you point out. Which I do agree with you makes me feel like we were robbed of the fight against Uta where she could have controlled the dream world. But I loved how both Gold and Red were more localized physically, with the casino or the concert, so it would be sad if the only thing they feel they can do is just make it more and more of a global catastrophe. I hope they can one day make another movie similar to Movie 6, where we have a more emotional investment in the crew we love rather than needing to focus so much on the rest of the world. Btw, Film Gold actually does have a short like 1 minute segment where it goes over Tesoro's back story and it is probably the best part of the movie. It makes you want to know more, and I know I wished that they covered more of it in the movie for sure. It was a shame and felt like a waste to not have more of it.

[@hakirayleigh]

Maybe a movie about the Holy Knights lore could be amazing, but giving us a forgotten hidden Knight in the canon story., but not being a colossal monster.

[@sharroccogarcia3864]

Fan Letter was a missed opportunity to make a OP movie that breaks the mold of “canon bait” or “world ending”. God Valley is a decent opportunity to be canon and filler. If they don’t bring back Enel then that could be the same. A movie about the establishment of the Yonko where Shanks beats one to become one would be cool but that would depend on available Shanks canon information

[@youngsterliam2.089]

This video explains why Gold is my favourite modern one piece film

[@eazzy5822]

I'm not paying to see a movie that's main goal is just to sell tickets. I want to enjoy the series but I hate how much companies try and squeeze every last cent out of people

[@RiddleSnowcraft]

Sakazuki: "That Uta girl can imprison 70% of humanity in a dream world, huh? My ass better stay in this office!! Or I'm FINISHED!!""

[@chadwickcrookson4377]

I had a problem with Film Red it was kinda advertised as a "Shanks" movie and we still didn't get 10 minutes of Shanks.. all crew moves where blurred over real quick and the fact that Stampede movie felt better because of the none stop brawls and epic movies on screen

[@chadwickcrookson4377]

[@ryanauble4228]

Personally, I'd really love to see the one-piece movies explore the major events left off screen in the manga and anime. Stuff like god valley, rocky port, the payback war, etc.

[@gregperianayagam4522]

I do think giant golden Tazoro works for him. A giant flashy monster that is ultimately hollow on the inside.

[@SheppyNano]

If not counting new world movie the Baron movie is a great one.

[@UnCuddlyNINJA]

The freeing of boahancock, aces novel , and stuff like that should be the movies

[@gragon7082]

It’d be fun, when the manga wraps up, to reveal that the movies were Usopp embellishing some shorter Straw Hat adventures

[@Colaschnittchen]

They should tell alternative One Piece stories. Things that wouldn’t work in a normal movie like: - Luffy as Marine vs a Akainu as a pirate - Some sort of Tournament with Marines and Pirates involved

[@hollyfire9234]

the next movie is on the moon and stopping it from crashing on Earth ft enel.

[@jbillion]

Film red confirming shanks was a celestial dragon was actually big news though...
