    They aren’t going to make over a 1000 episodes for the live action, so they have to cut a lot of stuff. I honestly doubt we’ll get that far into the story as it is (given the rate they’re making it).

    Honestly live action of animated formats always suffers, just look at all the Disney live actions. They’re not even limited by runtime and they feel a little less magical/right.

      Totally agree, but for example in the manga Luffy is completely uninterested in why Nami betrays them because he knows she’s good and he made his mind up already so it doesn’t matter to him. That’s how he is.

      In the live action he starts investigating it instead, which makes him more generic in actually more screen time, and one piece is a LOT about Luffy. If the screen writers don’t get him I don’t have high hopes.

      On the other hand, supposedly Oda signed off on everything so maybe the details that are important to me aren’t that great of a deal…
