idk if this is just me but the 2 part release strategy is really messing with my enjoyment of the season. i’m so used to getting the full story on the first day of release that it seems odd to not see every story line get it’s completed arc, enough to the point that when ep 7 ended, i literally thought “… that’s it?” which is SO frustrating bc that episode ends on such an epic note it’s ridiculous. everything seems like it builds up to nothing, even though there’s still 4 more hours of content left. i feel like i can’t even have an opinion on what’s happening bc i don’t know the full story yet. i’m sure this will change when the full season is out and i can watch the eps back to back but for right now? i’m not loving this vol1 + vol2 situation.

Good morning to everyone, except Netflix who keeps cancelling perfectly good shows for no fathomable reason. Fuck you in particular actually.

I drew a photo of the actors from Avatar: The Last Airbender and One Piece together, they are just toooooo adorable😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️

WYLAN WAS GOING TO SAY THEY'VE MET ALREADY IM GONNA VOMIT. Every scene I see him in is going to be an awful emotional journey for me, huh?

Lessons to learn from HBO’s “The Last of Us” and Netflix’s “One Piece” when it comes to making a successful live-action adaptation:

1) Make sure the original creator has a ton of creative control. It’s their story, let them dictate how it should be re-told.

2) The showrunner should be a major fan of the original. In general, get writers and directors who are fully committed to doing the source material justice since they’re fans of it.

3) Doesn’t have to be 100% faithful. Changes are fine if it doesn’t hurt the overall story and actually improves on the original. For example, (SPOILER ALERT) Bill’s storyline in TLOU was overhauled completely, which was considered an improvement. And based on what I read from One Piece fans, Buggy the Clown was done better in live action and Zoro was set up better since the show used a scene that wasn’t in the anime or manga (the Mr. 7 stuff was apparently off-screen).

4) Casting is always key, but doesn’t have to be completely perfect. What’s important is that the actors understand their assignments. Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey don’t exactly look like Joel and Ellie (Pedro even has a different accent) but they make up for it with their chemistry and understanding of their characters. Meanwhile, I feel that’s it’s generally agreed that the cast for the Straw Hats Pirates captured the spirit of the characters, even with the minor changes that were made.

5) If you’re adding original content, make sure it adds to the story. For example, the already mentioned Mr. 7 scene and Frank actually being present during Bill’s storyline.

‘No slaughter yet was greater made e’er in this island; Of people slain before this same, with edge of a sword.’

The Battle of Brunanburh was fought in 937 between Æthelstan, King of England, and an alliance of Olaf Guthfrithson, King of Dublin, Constantine II, King of Scotland, and Owain, King of Strathclyde. The battle is often cited as the point of origin for English nationalism: historians such as Michael Livingston argue that "the men who fought and died on that field forged a political map of the future that remains [in modernity], arguably making the Battle of Brunanburh one of the most significant battles in the long history not just of England, but of the whole of the British Isles."
