One Piece Live Action - OP Fan Review

So it's finally time.

We waited on bated breath and anticipation to see if Oda's masterwork could in fact translate to live action, much less Netflix live action. Titles such as Death Note and Cowboy Bebop have caused sincere fears that it would not go so well, but with Oda in the production there was hope, and now we see if it's rewarded.

Knowing that this is an adaptation and they were covering most of East Blue's saga in 8 episodes there will of course be differences. But whether or not they work remained to be seen, so let's talk about it.

Spoilers for One Piece, both Live Action and manga/anime because there will be overlap to discuss

First and foremost we will need to pour one out for those who didn't make the cut; Woop Slap, Ripper, Ritchie (referenced but not seen), Gaimon, Django (he had a poster but not a presence), the Usopp pirates, Johnny and Yosaku, Carne, that fly in Fullbody's soup, Pearl, Moocy, and most surprisingly Hachi. It's a shame to not see them (also 3 future-warlords in the audience of Roger's execution) but I can understand them...minus Hachi he's kinda an important connective piece in the long run. Also no Usopp Hammer or Usopp Rubber Band, the sacrilege!

So as far as adaptations go though this was really good. Opinions are of course subjective, so a lot of fans are welcome to say that Live Action has done arcs better than the manga/anime, but I'd say it's either as good or a little less, but that's nothing to be ashamed of. A lot of people who haven't watched or read One Piece get a nice introduction of almost the first 100 chapters/45 episodes, which contrary to the memes of 'yeah One Piece gets good at episode 629' should be enough to whet people's appetites to see if they wanna take the plunge.

Of course, change is scary and sometimes not accepted, so not all the changes made were ones I liked, at least as much as the original source. I kinda feel like we did a few characters dirty; Makino (no flirtatious chemistry with Shanks? come on), the Orange Town Mayor, Mohji, Chouchou (again, I get it, can't really get animals to act so easily), Fullbody, Gin, Krieg, Genzo, and Nojiko did have a bit more to do in the source material but often only got one scene or lacked the same spark they had. Also the amount of death was surprising, I get most of it but at the same time killing off Merry (and recontextualizing how the Going Merry was named by not having Merry be its creator even with the lore change that Syrup village makes ships) does kinda leave Kaya even more alone, in the original at least she had him and the Usopp pirates for company. While Buggy as a character is awaiting praise later down the line I will have to say that his role beyond episode 2 was a bit lackluster, he was never gonna help the crew for sure but it was weird for him to just saunter away from Arlong Park, I also feel like we could've better explained Devil Fruits and water's effect on DF users, because it is a very big misconception by those on the outside that Luffy simply loses his powers when hit by a splash of water, rather than his strength being sapped when more than half-submerged; rain, splashing waves, that doesn't effect DF users that way, and it's not like it's an off switch Luffy could still stretch while in water it's just harder to do so. It was also a shame not to have Shanks and Buggy's backstory shown. The CGI did have some rough moments too, I was not too much of a fan of how they did Kuro's pussyfooting (no you don't understand it's literally called the pussy foot technique) in episode 3, episode 4 was better, I felt that Luffy vs Arlong relied a bit too much on it too. Zoro's flashback was oddly placed in episode 4, given how it's more fitting as a build up to Zoro vs Mihawk, also felt like the context of Zoro losing to Kuina 2001 times in a row was sorely missed in that flashback. I will also have to admit that while the costuming is great, there is a very glaring case of it being very easy to spot the important characters from the crowd.

Some changes I was more than fine with, Alvida changing her call to most powerful makes sense since insulting her appearance wouldn't really go down too well, Zoro could've been a bit more mellow but he still played the edgy deadpan guy well...at least until Luffy eventually wears down his brain cells, and as cool as the Mr. 7 fight was it does not help debunk those 'minority hunter' memes. Changing Sham's gender worked pretty well too, the actress wore the look very well, and though people were a little let down that Benn Beckman is not super handsome I didn't have a problem with his look.

Of the changes I liked more it's probably that we saw more of Nami growing vulnerable to the crew, sure in turn we lost her fake-stabbing Usopp and grabbing a lit fuse but we got her bonding with Kaya and staunchly try to convince Zoro not to fight Mihawk - whereas in the anime/manga she had already ran off with the Merry - plus I feel like we got more friendship between her and Zoro at this stage, it's not that they didn't get along but I do feel like Zoro's dismissal in the live action is almost tied to feeling a little hurt by her betrayal. I enjoyed and was surprised with how much Garp we got, and how much he and Koby interacted with Luffy this early, since while we get the cover story of Koby-Meppo it's more it's own thing and we don't even learn of Garp's relation to Luffy until about 3 more sagas (sagas, not arcs, sagas), but it did help flesh out Koby's character more and his own character growth in parallel to Luffy. Think the change I was most approving of was confirming Kaya x Usopp, like she loves that liar so much so it was sweet to see a kiss in there, no romance my ass Oda, I also liked that they made it that Kuro was poisoning Kaya, since her original illness suddenly going away was a bit strange.

Every major character in this show translated very well to their characters in the source, even if they are a little different in some traits. Inaki as Luffy is a perfect fit, being equal parts charismatic, serious when necessary and aloof, he handled the big pressure that would've come with a character of Luffy's character in fantastic stride. The other crewmates were of course very well casted too, having wonderful chemistry with each other, as were their child counterparts, but I found myself most impressed by the villains; Morgan, Helmeppo and Kuro especially surprised me by how well they came across, Jeff Ward as Buggy was always gonna be a perfect fit in my mind too, given how much I saw of him in Agents of SHIELD. Arlong did take a bit of time to grow, but I can't deny he does the laugh perfectly. Side characters such as Kaya and Zeff also impressed me, having been given a bit more content to chew on in their stories, and Shanks did soothe my worries I had from the trailer by being jovial and true to character.

The biggest positive impression I got from One Piece was the sense of wonder and vibrancy, the settings were all wonderfully crafted with care and style fitting to Oda's vision, I particularly liked the added carnival entertainment stands in Arlong Park to better reflect its homage to Sabaody Park, the same can be said with costuming - referencing previous colour spreads - and motifs like the bounty poster introductions and the leitmotifs of characters like Buggy, Arlong and the Straw Hats, plus the instrumental of 'We Are' is wonderful. Most important is that the moments landed, especially Shanks giving the Straw Hat, the barrel scene, and Nami asking for help, but we also crafted some newer subtle moments, such as Luffy being drawn to the Merry and pitching to Kaya regarding it, and Zeff and Garp's conversation. Easter eggs were also hidden well enough to not be blatant to non-fans but rewarding to those who know.

So yeah, it was very much a huge success, one I hope will be translated in its positive reviews and viewership. If there's a second season I'd anticipate that we'd cover Loguetown and the Alabasta saga, but with that comes more castings I do not envy the team to find, because outside of campaigns for Jamie Lee-Curtis to play Kureha there are a ton of big and iconic players in those arcs that'll need perfect casting to pull off; Ace, Crocodile, Vivi, Bon Clay, and Tashigi (since you'll have to have a comparison with Kuina's actress) is tough enough but we're also gonna have to make the 'puppet or CGI' decision with Chopper and somehow cast the most beautiful woman on the planet to play Nico Robin. Then perhaps Season 4 (providing they do the Skypeia saga all in Season 3, only needing to cast one to three properly big players depending on whether they have Shanks meet a certain someone) they'll have to struggle with even more casting difficulties.

Still, if they're up for the challenge go ahead and do it, I'll be there for Season 2 if they're willing to make it.

[sanpatron]

It shouldn’t be all that surprising to find a swarm of media personnel outside of the castle, all waiting in eager anticipation for the start of today’s festivities. It had been months in the making—though I guess more like two years if you wanna be that specific—but the day had finally arrived in which Queen Medb, ruler of Connacht, the Eternal Lady herself, will be wed to former celebrity criminal and local town shyster Django Foley.

The event itself had turned into more of a gala than any ol’ regular wedding you’d typically find—what with the red carpet setup, various photo ops, and overall feeling of elegance that was just practically screaming in your face. Then again knowing Medb she really wouldn’t have it any other way.

Eventually those who were invited would soon arrive to the castle grounds, either in their own personal vehicles or via chauffeur. It was a real who’s who of a guest list, ranging from those employed under Gang✩Star to some of Spirale’s (and the rest of the island’s) biggest players.

While the atmosphere outside was most certainly electrifying, within the castle’s walls was a much more low key affair. Almost classy in a way. Drinks and small appetizers would be there for both guests and staff to enjoy as the air was filled with the sweet melodic tones of some jazz playlist Django found in like a minute off the internet.

This was of course all deliberate. For once night fell and the initial ceremony and reception were over with, then the real fun could finally begin.

I like how Oda slipped Fullbody in here without any introduction. If you’re paying attention you’ll recognize him, but if you weren’t it’s still just a fun cover

JavaScript vs Python: Which Is Better For Your Next Project?

Choosing the right programming language for your next project is a critical decision that can impact its success. In this blog, we'll dive into the age-old debate of JavaScript vs Python, two widely used programming languages with distinct strengths and applications. By understanding the characteristics of each language and their suitability for various scenarios, you can make a well-informed choice that aligns with your project's goals.

Section 1: JavaScript Overview 

 JavaScript, a versatile scripting language, was initially developed for web browsers to enhance user interactivity. It has grown into a fundamental language for front-end web development. JavaScript's key features include its event-driven nature, asynchronous capabilities, and extensive DOM manipulation. It empowers developers to create dynamic, responsive, and interactive web pages. Notably, Node.js has enabled JavaScript to be used for server-side programming as well.

Section 2: Python Overview 

 Python, known for its readability and simplicity, boasts a wide range of applications. It excels in areas such as web development, data analysis, scientific computing, machine learning, and automation scripting. Python's clean syntax and rich library ecosystem contribute to its popularity. Its ease of learning and use makes it an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced developers.

Section 3: Use Cases and Strengths 

 JavaScript's primary strength lies in its dominance in web development. It powers front-end interactions and user interfaces. JavaScript frameworks like React, Angular, and Vue.js enhance its capabilities. Its real-time capabilities are valuable for applications requiring constant updates, like social media platforms or live data displays.

Python's adaptability shines through various use cases. Web frameworks like Django and Flask simplify web application development. In data analysis and scientific computing, libraries like NumPy, pandas, and matplotlib offer robust tools. For machine learning, TensorFlow and scikit-learn make Python a popular choice.

Section 4: Performance and Efficiency 

 JavaScript's performance is influenced by browser compatibility and its single-threaded nature. However, advancements like WebAssembly and optimizing techniques have improved its speed. It's particularly suited for tasks requiring real-time updates and client-side rendering.

Python's interpreted nature affects its performance, but it compensates with developer productivity. Libraries like Cython can enhance its performance in specific use cases. Its role in data analysis and machine learning often involves computations that benefit from optimized libraries like NumPy.

Section 5: Community Support and Resources 

JavaScript enjoys a massive community with a plethora of libraries, frameworks, and tutorials. Developers can tap into resources like MDN Web Docs and Stack Overflow for guidance. The fast-paced evolution of the JavaScript ecosystem ensures access to the latest tools and practices.

Python's community is equally strong, fostering an environment of collaboration and innovation. Libraries like PyPI provide a rich selection of modules. Documentation resources like the official Python documentation and online forums contribute to its accessibility.

Section 6: Considerations for Choosing 

 Choosing between JavaScript and Python involves several considerations. For web applications requiring dynamic user experiences, JavaScript's capabilities are indispensable. Python's flexibility and wide range of applications make it suitable for diverse projects, especially when development speed and readability are priorities.

Team expertise plays a crucial role; a team well-versed in one language might streamline development. Scalability, maintenance, and integration with existing systems should also influence the choice. Ultimately, align the strengths of the language with your project's objectives for optimal results. When deciding between JavaScript and Python for your project, take into account their distinct strengths and applications. JavaScript excels in front-end web development and real-time interactions, while Python's versatility spans web development, data analysis, and machine learning. Base your choice on your project's requirements, team expertise, and long-term goals. By making an informed decision  which programming language to use for web development, you can leverage the strengths of the chosen language and set the foundation for a successful project in the digital era.

Oss - Woensdag 30 augustus vindt voor de de 24e keer de culturele manifestatie het Vierde Beeld plaats in het Barbara park, naast de Groene Engel in de gemeente Oss. Voor dit jaar is gekozen voor het thema ‘Oss got talent’ en we hebben een aantal bekende en minder bekende namen die hun wortels in Oss hebben, weten vast te leggen. Talent dat zijn vleugels heeft uitgeslagen en furore maakt op de Nederlandse podia, maar voor het Vierde Beeld graag terug naar Oss komt. Van gypsy jazz door Alessio Rooders en Roy van der Lee tot doorleefde country van Garden in Gloom, van hiphop door Donker Oss en het unieke talent van singer/songwriter Robin Borneman, dat alles gepresenteerd door Lotte Velvet en omlijst door dans van Daily Dance. Garden in Gloom Twee vrouwen en een gemeenschappelijke liefde voor liedjes die schitteren in hun soberheid: zo simpel is de kern van Garden in Gloom. Het duo bestaande uit Imke Loeffen en Mariska Petrovic eert helden en heldinnen uit de country, folk en bluegrass en voegt hier eigen verhalende songs aan toe. Gespeeld met banjo, gitaar en mandoline en met veel gevoel voor harmonie vervlechten hun stemmen en snaarinstrumenten met elkaar in ongecompliceerde, akoestische liedjes over het leven: bitterzoet, maar o zo mooi. Imke is geboren in Oss en haar opa Louis Jansen was er van 1963 tot 1980 burgermeester. Alessio Rooders en Roy van der Lee Alessio studeerde af aan het conservatorium als flamenco gitarist, maar gaat bij het Vierde Beeld een andere kant van zijn talent laten zien. Samen met vriend en collega gitarist Roy van der Lee speelt hij hotclub jazz, swing uit de jaren 20/30/40, later ook gypsy jazz genoemd. De muziek van Django Reinhardt en het welbekende Rosenberg trio is hij tijdens de pandemie intensief gaan beoefenen. Alessio zal samen met Osse gitaar held Roy van de Lee (die ooit nog met Jimmy Rosenberg heeft opgetreden) een aantal standards uitvoeren. Bij een van de standards, een oud accordeon stuk gearrangeerd voor 2 gitaren, zal Osse wereld muziek danseres Senta Schuijers een dans uitvoeren. Lotte Velvet De presentatie is in de kundige handen van de in Oss geboren en getogen, maar inmiddels in Rotterdam woonachtige cabaretière Lotte Velvet. Ze schrijft gedichten en theaterteksten en speelde in verschillende bands viool, gitaar en toetsen. Haar helden zijn onder andere PJ Harvey, David Lynch en Andy Warhol.​ ​Ze maakte onderdeel uit van het cabaretcollectief CabaRot en studeerde in maart 2019 af bij Studio Selma Susanna in Amsterdam. Ze treedt op als sneldichter en schrijft actuele liedjes voor het programma Andermans Veren. In 2020 won zij de jury- en publieksprijs van het Amsterdams Kleinkunst Festival. In oktober 2022 ging zij in première met haar debuutvoorstelling ‘Ondergrond’ en was al een paar maal te zien in de Lievekamp. Donker Oss Rapcollectief Donker Oss schept een beeld van hun woonplaats en loopt niet weg van het grauwe imago, maar omarmt dit juist en vergroot het misschien zelf wel uit. Zij brachten in 2020 hun tweede album uit en lijken enigszins uit het beeld verdwenen, een van hen woont inmiddels in België, maar we zijn blij dat ze voor het Vierde Beeld uit het duister willen komen. Robin Borneman Tja, wat kunnen we nog zeggen over dit unieke talent dat nog niet geschreven is. In de afgelopen jaren heeft Robin Borneman met zijn verhalende muziek een enthousiaste en trouwe schare fans om zich heen verzameld. Met het in 2019 uitgebrachte ‘Folklore III: The Cradle Tree’ voltooit Robin zijn ‘Folklore’ drieluik, waarvan deel I en II in respectievelijk 2015 en 2017 verschenen. Folklore project ‘Folklore’ is een ambitieus folk-/roots-project en vertelt het verhaal van een reiziger zonder naam die op zoek is naar zijn identiteit. Hoewel muzikaal duidelijk één geheel, hebben de drie delen ieder een eigen karakter. Deel I is vooral avontuurlijk en experimenteel, deel II bovenal duister en zwaar en deel III is liefdevoller en universeler. De trilogie

is met zijn eigen band én met behulp van bevriende muzikanten uit de band Navarone, opgenomen in de studio van Wouter Budé. Voorafgaand aan de Folklore trilogie brengt Robin in eigen beheer maar liefst zes albums uit. Landelijke aandacht krijgt hij met het zesde album 'Home' (2012). Daarvan wordt bij een groot aantal winkels in het land evenveel of zelfs meer exemplaren verkocht dan veel gerenommeerde bands: een nieuwe folk/roots ster was geboren. Robin treed 2 maanden per jaar op voor miljoen fans In 2013 wordt Robin, via een Tom Waits cover, opgemerkt door het Amerikaanse (hard)rock-orkest Trans Siberian Orchestra en ingelijfd als zanger van één van de grootste stadionacts van Amerika. Sindsdien speelt hij jaarlijks gedurende twee maanden - in november en december – zo’n 60 stadion shows op rij voor gemiddeld 20.000 bezoekers per concert. Daarmee komt hij aan grofweg een miljoen toeschouwers op jaarbasis, een statistiek die door geen enkele Nederlandse act wordt geëvenaard. Folklore Trilogie Na de voltooiing van de Folklore Trilogie begint Robin, nu het Folklore verhaal losgelaten kan worden, in alle rust te werken aan nieuwe muziek. In deze nieuwe periode is Robin ook op de Nederlandse TV te zien. Eerst in oktober 2020, in het RTL4 tv programma “I Can See Your Voice”. Zijn deelname daaraan is zo indrukwekkend dat Talpa Robin in 2021 uitnodigt mee te doen aan het succesvolle SBS 6 tv-programma ‘We Want More”. Het programma bestaat uit meerdere rondes en Robin weet door een imponerende versie van Adele’s ‘Skyfall’, de hoofdprijs van €100.000 binnen te slepen. Enige optreden van Robin Borneman dit jaar Robin is momenteel bezig met het schrijven en opnemen van een nieuw album en heeft nog wat andere projecten op stapel staan en wil pas volgend jaar weer de planken opgaan, maar maakt voor het Vierde Beeld graag een uitzondering. Het enige optreden van Robin Borneman dit jaar is dus op 30 augustus in het Barbarapark in Oss. Woensdagavond 30 augustus Barbarapark in Oss, aanvang 20.30 uur, toegang is gratis, maar je kan natuurlijk altijd een vrijwillige bijdrage doen in de collectezakken.
