PokeNirvash Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 My Dad, on the other hand, doesn't need One Piece explained to him. Seeing the Merry sail on sand during an episode of 4Kids Alabasta was more than enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jman Posted October 9, 2023 Author Share Posted October 9, 2023 This is why they had to make the Netflix show. It was the only way to get those types to engage with the material. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonamiguy321 Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Usually I don’t try to give an actual explanation, I just do what Shake does when he is watching Vegetable Man with the Mooninites. “Yea, he is Vegetable Man”. “Yea, he is a rubber man”. 4 hours ago, MasqueradeOverture said: Explaining anything remotely foreign to someone who pronounces Pokémon "Poke-ee-man" is a futile effort. Reminds me of my gram 25 years ago. She tried so hard to understand those Pokemans because I liked them so much but I don’t think she ever did quite figure it out. We’d always have a laugh when I was older about how I’d talk about Pokémon on and on and she didn’t understand most of what I’d be going on about.

Mr. Idea Box Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 I'm actually not mad at the way they called him. In my eyes, it's actually pretty close to how it's usually pronounced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman Posted November 23, 2023 Author Share Posted November 23, 2023 The Luffy balloon’s hat got ripped, but since the hat and main body are separate, he’s still marching along. Fitting metaphor for the franchise in the US. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why I can't say the same for his shipmates... Sanji would enjoy the cooking aspect while Zoro will just drink all the wine. Usopp would probably end up having the turkey on his head. Chopper would probably mistake everyone getting tired for the food being poisoned while Robin would be reading a book about the first Thanksgiving. Franky will transform his hair to resemble a rooster, completely missing the point of his own joke and Brook will use a drumstick like a live mic while trying to dance with the turkey carcass. Nami would be the straight laced one, but she'll probably be wearing some kind of pilgrim getup with her tits hanging out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luffy's hat brim deflated but the rest of him made it. 😄 I DVR'd the parade but some of the feeds I was late on. I gotta check to see if it caught this haha.
