The show was decent, and it's clear it's much better than the anime. I don't have any energy to suffer through the anime, so I will experience the story through the live action series
Hollywood is Making a Live-Action ‘One Piece’ TV Show

As a One Piece stan it's great to see more people getting into the story through this medium.
But the anime Slander kinda stings
East Blue is basically a warm up. Juries still out if they're gonna be able to adapt the fantastical and wild shyt that happens on the Grand Line. Alot of that shyt has to go above and beyond Game of Thrones budget for it to work imo.

this shyt aint amazing writing, but it is enjoyable
Never read the series, so I went in blind when my sis was watching it.
The writing felt pretty poor imo, but I have a harsher takeaway than you did. It felt like to me was geared towards pre-teens with the one-dimensional characters and obvious character arcs and tropes where the good guys are pure like Shanks and the bad guys are cartoonishly evil, like threatening to beat up a little girl offering food to strangers simply because they hate the world. No backstory, no layered perspective. Just pure evil vs pure good. Watched about three episodes and deuced out.
I think it doesn't help that the guy and the girl that join the crew have the exact same repeated response of "I work alone/we're not a team" and then both randomly decide to join after one fight like an NPC in a videogame. Also the villains are stereotypically bad in terms of just executing a plan when they have control. "Oh you have stretchy powers? Well I'm going to stretch you (pause) an arbitrary amount and threaten to beat up little children while holding you captive" or "Oh you killed my friend? I'm going to throw knives at you while you're tied to a spinning wheel instead of slitting your throat".
Things like that made it hard for me not to roll my eyes with each piece of dialogue.

Why the film room not talking about the creator?

they are. it's just not stickied for some reason
John David Washington fights to save us in the future in The Creator (Twentieth/Disney)
They had arlong with a Kangol and a chain on. Looking like a young LL Cool J.Arlong preaching racial superiority and called Nami ‘Sister Nami’
he’s definitely a Hotep
Hollywood absolutely must be STOPPED
a lot of japanese live adaptions aren't any better
Yea, the Usopp character is kinda meh. After watching the show i skimmed a bit of the manga (the first 1/5th, since it's like a billion issues) to see if he gets better, and so far not really. Granted it plays a little better in the manga bc all of the main cast are a bit more goofy/extreme in their tropes.
Like, the chef really is Johnny Bravo with every female he sees, Nami really is tryna scam any/everyone outta money, and Luffy is a bigger idiot. Entertaining but cartoonish. With the live-action show being a bit more grounded, Usopp being a liar, coward, and the only one who can't really fight, feels a bit more glaring.
Liked it, can't wait for season 2
In Wano, they used this clip like a hundred times in the last 50 epsIf you do, this will shorten the watch
