Miscellaneous Notes About OPLA Buggy Because I Adored Episode 2:
The "knows-nose" homophone joke?? So good (not really important i just loved it ok)
I love how OPLA played into Buggy's crew being more circus than crew; the manga has them just.... hanging out on a rooftop LOL. The new theming added so much immersion!!!
Jeff Ward has the standout performance of this season imo. It feels different than Buggy from the source material, but in very good ways; Buggy usually gets upstaged in a very goofy manner, but here, it's clear that Buggy's failure stems from insecurity leading to incorrect assumptions.
Buggy never believed Zoro and Nami would come back to help Luffy because of his own trust/abandonment issues. (His logic reads borderline delusional: "Shanks abandoned me, and he was my friend.. so why would they come back for you?")
Buggy offering Luffy a place on his crew?? YES. Yet again, Jeff Ward really sells this version of the character -- he is so incredibly frustrated by rejection. Why would a "freak" like him choose to be hurt by others who let them down? (As viewers, we know Nami and Zoro are fighting to get back, but Buggy truly believes they'll leave Luffy behind.)
"You can't make people love you." AAHHHHH!!! Luffy's emotional intelligence strikes again!!!!!!!! It hits the nail on the head. Buggy so desperately craves acceptance/love that it makes him illogical and causes him to have a short fuse.
AND LOOK. OH MY GOD HIS SUBTLE REACTION...... my heart breaks for him
tldr; Buggy's big mistake in Orange Town is his overwhelming greed, which causes him to underestimate and undervalue others. In OPLA, it is his paranoia and insecurity getting in the way of logic. Both are major aspects of his character, but I love that the live action went a different route, while still staying true to his nature!

I noticed that alba is the only one without any visible stitching on her body. Is she really good at avoiding catnap?
not all of them are due catnap, you know? There's a whole cult with the prototype, and some of the other followers can be as dangerous as Catnap (in Picky case for example, it was a Candy Cat that eat her ear).
Not for nothing Alba is know by Catnap as ''the traitor'', she's see as the true face of the other side (even when Mommy is the biggest in there, Mommy is just the body), due a event happen in the happy hour.
Since the ask give me the oportunnity, gonna leave the reference of all of them here

Can you just imagine ORV from Kyrgios' POV?
Some random guy you've never even seen before shows up and starts acting all friendly and familiar. He acts like he knows you. He wants to be your disciple of all things. This guy is bizarre (and therefore intriguing) and so, begrudgingly, you agree.
Terrible student. Just awful. No talent at all. He doesn't have any spots to like. Why didn't you just kill him when he first showed up? Still, you have accepted him as your disciple and so you leave him to it for now. You will return to check on him later.
Your terrible, awful disciple has run away in the middle of the night! You will hunt him down and he will be sorry.
He has somehow stolen your technique!!!
But, amazingly, your terrible disciple actually manages to save your planet with the technique he stole from you. You decide not to punish him.
You see him leaving with the rest of his companions but graciously allow him to go for now because surely after some time to reflect he'll see the error of his ways and return to his master.
He does not return.
You go to find your terrible, thieving disciple so that you can punish him.
There are, strangely, multiple people claiming to be your disciple. You kill them. Where is your actual disciple?
You find him wounded and begging for death. He has been beaten up in a distant place and is now filled with shame claiming that he has defiled the name of Baekchung. You are a good teacher so you will not punish him after all and will instead look into the situation that has caused your prideful disciple to be in this state.
.
.
.
He has tricked you into fighting an outer god with your ex.

The way that Coryo makes my stomach heave so many times in the first chapter alone.
The way that his Reaping Day experience involves his cousin working herself to the bone for him while Katniss spent hers providing for her family and sacrificing for her sister.
The way he thinks of his ill grandmother mostly as an embarrassment and spends more time worrying about how she affects their image than about her well-being.
The way he's literally starving and still obsesses over image and prestige and social position so that living in a crumbling penthouse is seen as preferable to a (gasp) lower-class existence.
The way every single social interaction is transactional and is calculated to maintain or improve his status.
The way he hears that Sejanus has to mentor a former friend and his only response is to sneer that Sejanus still thinks of himself as District.
The way that the first chapter of The Hunger Games ends with the announcement of Prim's name and the first chapter here ends with, "The District 12 girl belongs to Coriolanus Snow."
