Why did people hate ‘Santa Barbara’? Because it existed to churn out endless drama that led nowhere.
I haven't watched ‘One Piece’ and not ever planning to, but there's no way that over a thousand episodes that go on for twenty-six years deliver any kind of a meaningful story that gives me something to think about.
I don't know if you saw this meme that popped up here like a month ago
Edit: I want to add onto this that I think one of the big differences between one piece and other stuff is that one piece is a designed story. It has a start and a finish, it always has. Now, it isn't over yet, so we'll see. But just because something is long, does not mean it is bad. It often does, but it isn't always the case.
Ironically and chaotically: you should try it.
The visual style takes getting used to, it is 1999 Toei a few years after DBZ. The funny but deeply serious style also takes some getting used to. It's similar to JoJo's bizarre adventure in that way. Jarring and confusing if you don't get it, but it quickly makes sense once you let down your walls. It's goofy and charming and inspiring as hell.
I seriously think it's really worth a real try. I'd be very interested to know your thoughts after even like... ten episodes, if you do try it.
First ep is an arc all on its own, the next three are another arc, and then the next few are into the next arc. They just get longer and deeper each arc, is what happens. Even thinking about it makes me want to rewatch it again. It's so good.
Absolutely not. I've just recently watched the two seasons of ‘Severance’, wherein Ben Stiller evidently thought himself to be modern Kubrick. For the foreseeable future I'm not watching anything that's more than ten episodes start to finish (with an exception for ‘Berlin Alexanderplatz’). I want stories where the author has something to say, with beginning and an end, and I have a large backlog of classic films.
Severance? Is that the office/private mind division show on Apple streaming?
It looks like it has high reviews on imdb, even per ep except for s2e8. But even then, looks like the seasons started and ended strong. What didn't you like about it?
But also, wanting something with a strong message is totally understandable. Not that one piece doesn't, but I do understand what wavelength you're on. For me, that comes in moods. Sometimes I want popcorn, other times I want philosophical provocation, and sometimes, I even want an answer, not an open ended series of impossible questions each leading towards depression or madness.
‘Severance’ has a great premise, strong atmosphere, and is overall made very well. Except it's stretched beyond measure. The second season in particular has lots of shots where absolutely nothing is happening, just some landscapes or whatever for minutes on end. It's painfully obvious that Apple or whoever decided they're gonna have twenty seasons instead of three.
I like Kubrick a lot, love the space station shots in ‘2001’, and even then when in ‘Spartacus’ platoons of soldiers were marching to formation for ten minutes, I straight up fell asleep in my chair. I certainly don't want an entire show of this, especially with the possibility of it ending nowhere.
