As an unknown actor, you don't have a career.
What career?
for 99% of actors the best they're gonna do in their career is a commercial.
for 99% of actors a commercial is out of reach.
That's pretty much what this is. A commercial to make One Piece more mainstream and sell more manga.
what about theatre actors
Dinner theater is a blast, they love it when you throw food at them.
>Gee I can't accept this once in a lifetime acting job because that dudeon Cinemaphile will laugh at me, oh woe of me
>a once in a lifetime job that will guarantee you get no other work and become a pariah in the industry
the likely alternative is no career at all. If he does a good performance (even if the show sucks) then he'll be able to rake in fan convention dollars from autists by the truck full for the rest of his life
>If he does a good performance (even if the show sucks) then he'll be able to rake in fan convention dollars
Not even that. Some producers are able to tell when an actor is better than the project and will sometimes pick them for something else.
>>a once in a lifetime job that will guarantee you get no other work and become a pariah in the industry
Okay since you're a moron who doesn't know how acting works, I'm going to go ahead and explain some of it to you. Getting the lead role on a major television show based on a pre-existing IP is virtually no different than winning the fricking lottery.
Yes, there's a good chance this show is going to be a massive failure and a massive piece of shit and get canceled after a single seaosn. But this is still going to be a much bigger payday than he would have likely seen at any other point during his career. This is the peak for maybe 5%-10% of actors. Only the special 1% like Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Angelina Jolie, Leo DiCaprio get to become megastars with wealth and recognition beyond their wildest dreams.
Inaki, I don’t care what Netflix told you, you fricked your career with this. No legitimate production is going to want to associate themselves with the embarrassing Luffy actor. You’ll be lucky if Netflix calls you back. Look what happened to Daisy Ridley and John Boyegas careers after they did fricking Star Wars. And that was Star Wars so what do you think will happen to you for doing a low budget anime commercial?
Daisy Ridley, John Boyega would not have any fricking career to speak of had they not been in Star Wars. They were terrible movies. But the alternative was being nobodies who didn't get paid millions. Never mind all of the additional residuals. On top of that, a noticeable omission from your comment is Adam Driver, who became one of the biggest actors in the world thanks to Star Wars.
Oscar Isaac is another one. You think he would be as sought after as he is now if it wasn't for Star Wars?
Oscar Isaac lent credence to Star Wars. He will not be forgiven.
Oscar isn't a big actor, he is at his best a B-list actor
John is a C-list actors
Daisy is at her best a D-list actress
And the only one who is considered A-list is Adam
moron zoomer
I accept your concession that you're moronic
oscar isaac was already in that movie where he played a billionaire making an A.I. robot. i forgot what the movie was called but it was pretty great, my girlfriend hated me for watching it with her though because of the nude scenes
they would be literal who's if not for star wars
bad press is better than no press
The fact that you even know who Daisy Ridley and John Boyega are disproves you completely.
One piece is bigger than Star Wars.
>One piece is bigger than Star Wars
How much did the latest One Piece movie make in the box office?
Holy shit tranime fans are truly moronic.
It's unironically making more money than Star Wars.
No it ain't, One Piece is valued around 20 billion USD. Star Wars is closer to 60 billion USD.
Sounds like they're nearly equal if you average it out since Star Wars has been around almost 50 years and OP around 25 years
I believe Toei are overseers of One Piece, Dragon Ball, Sailor Moon, and some other lucrative franchises, so I'd guess Toei as a whole is at least on par with Star Wars as a whole
>what do you think will happen to you for doing a low budget anime commercial?
Nothing, probably. Lots of actors are in bad tv shows
Boyega works steadily, more than Ridley it would seem
>a once in a lifetime job that will guarantee you get no other work and become a pariah in the industry
This is good for his career regardless. If the show bombs he can blame racism and say white cis males can't tolerate a story that was written by an Asian man and stars a diverse cast of multicultural people or whatever. He'll become a martyr and continue to get hired in more mediocre, albeit well paid works.
You have to start somewhere you fricking midwit Black person
Better than doing endless catering jobs in LA I guess...
>guarantee
>dickless tranime gooners having the power to "ruin" anyones career but their own
lol
lmao
for 99% of all actors the only way you're gonna land a gig is if you know someone, the other 1% is israeli
?
I thought this guy had done nothing at all since but he's been in constant work. Good for him.
I think he is the guyfrom the Shameless, hmmmm...
Convention appearances in perpetuity.
Actors are prostitutes Anon
career?
samegay
yes moron. I am the same but I deleted the first one in case you didn't notice
Reddit behavior
Is it really torching it?
I mean even if it ends up as shit would he be blamed for it?
With a budget of $150 million, how much does he get as the mc of the show? Any guesses?
>how much does he get as the mc of the show?
a greencard should be enough for him
Sadly he didn't know the production budget when he signed, he's young and mexican, so if he got anything between 500k or 1m he was lucky.
Luffy should be white, isn't he
No he look Indian
No brazilian are not white
Oda said he’s Brazilian
Int he manga everyone is white but Oda once said in a side thing where he answers questions that the VIBE he gets from the character is brazilian
so you will get a lot of people who claim "Oda said Luffy is canonically Brazilian" which is kinda exaggerated
There is a huge colony of Japanese people in Brazil. That's probably what he was talking about. All characters in Anime/Manga are Japanese unless explicitly stated, regardless of how they look. They simply don't see making a character blond or a redhead as the equivalent of making them foreign. Its an aesthetic choice.
Well one piece has a japan inside the story so techically only people from wano are japanese (like zoro)
which is why the one piece characters are generally seen as non-japanese.
cope
>In the manga everyone is white
>anime
Tacos is just as stereotypical in the manga
looks like modern american
Dressrosa is literally Spain and Wano is Japan. I'm sorry but don~t bring your white supremacism to manga/anime.
Dressrosa and Wano literally don't exist in the real world. Do you think the Grand Line is real too?
i dont know but Mariejoise is real
It's ok. I was being an ass. I believe in the All Blue.
Isn’t that the equator? Things do get weird when you go past it. I hear there is a country full of firearms and trannies
Yeah, but the trannies (known as okama) are a comPlete different race. Some are mixed like Bon Clay
Zoro and Nami have the same skin color.
So nami is from wano then?
So people from Spain and Japan have the same skin color?
>in the manga everyone is white
DARKNESSES DEVIL FRUIT!!
>Luffy should be white, isn't he
>Brazilians
>white
If i were rich, he'd no longer need to work
One Piece is cancerous fricking garbage. Both animated and this steaming pile of shit.
I've always hated one piece and thought it was lame, but this guy and his character kinda makes me wanna see it. It feels relatable.
t. spic
So the usual demographic for shonen?
no they only stuck to dbz
Why does he look like he works in one of those Pakistani call centres?
You could photoshop a headset on him with GoodMorningSirs next to it and nothing would look out of place
What're you fricking talking about and why does this STUPID fricking narrative keep getting pushed in these god damn threads? If you want to shill then SHILL don't just keeping
>oh wow why would an unknown actor go through this
>wow no one knows who you are why would you throw your career away on exposure from a netflix show??
Like dude shut the frick up. This is how he gets his face out there. All he has to do is present well. If he makes some producer's dick hard enough or moistens the right c**t then he can get another opportunity to build something out of his name. That's how the game is played.
>Like dude shut the frick up. This is how he gets his face out there
Oh so he never wants to act again?
All this news recently has gotten me to watch One Piece for the first time and it's really enjoyable for me as someone who grew up watching Dragon ball. I've been binging while at work and am past Arlong Park (Kino) and Loguetown and just got to the beginning of what I guess is the Alabaster arc.
> Alabaster arc
The series peaks there and they know it too because OP media can’t stop referencing it. Keep enjoying the series up until the time skip and drop it there like everybody else did.
I'd argue Water 7 is peak
Enjoy it devolving into standard battle shounen complete with power levels.
Keep going, it is still good and full of surprises to this day.
>in the manga everyone is white
show me a coloored drawing by oda with a black person
not anime shit you are posting
show me a colored drawing by oda
>anon is willing to die on the hill that this is a white guy
>no white guy has big lips
Yes I am very adamant to not let homosexuals like you just lie to everyone
>anon is willing to die on the hill that this is a white guy
Looks white to me.
Post a single colored page with a non-white person right now
Oh wait you can't.
That is clearly a black person you just posted
Oda doesn't do the colorized version of the manga, it's as canon as the anime
What about manga covers tho??? They are lore friendly.
We are talking about the colorized shit oda does here
Are you moronic
this is by Oda
They netflixed Usopp yet?
Yes, on account of Oda calling him African in the sbs. That's why oda gave him big lips and a deadbeat dad
So nami has a swedish accent and sanji has a french one?
Nami is a war orphan raised away from her home country, so it's unlikely she'd have a swedish accent. Sanji could certainly have a French one though
so race is only accurate and important when it comes to darkies?
Nami is not swedish ethnicalyl and Sanji is not french ethnically?
Do you mean the actors? Luffy isn't Brazilian either, he's Mexican
that is at least on the right continent. Sanji and nami's actors aren't even european
Sanji's actor is British
bongs were raped by french and vikngs
why is there only 3 sandwichs
>why is there only three
I fricking miss Old Piece
look at her wishing her boobs were as big as this orange and she gets melons
He would lilterally be blacked if he was.
All white
Is there any explanation about characters heights? Why are there people like DoFlamingo that are like 3 mts but are not giants
>Why are there people like DoFlamingo that are like 3 mts but are not giants
Doflamingo is descended from world nobles and possibly has giantsblood in his gene pool.
Size is seemingly just a character trait, not actually a result of genetic makeup or character race. Big characters are usually an imposing bad guy, even if they are otherwise just bog standard humans.
As an unknown actor, this is his chance to make his career and make a name for himself. The Cobra Kai kid got his own Hollywood super hero movie. If Luffy plays his cards right and the show somehow is miraculously good, he will be a new star, like Jenny Ortega became.
He'll probably be fine but what the frick were they thinking casting someone who looks nothing like the character and has none of the presence/personality for the role
They will fail upwards if netflix touched them.
>DIOS MIO WHEN I WAS A NIÑO PEQUEÑO I WANT TO BECOME EN PIRATA ITS MY FAVORITE HOLMES SI SI
Someone needs to watch Friends.
i only watched it for Joey and Phoebe
Then you would know that as an unknown actor you'll grab any shit that comes your way.
>anon is willing to die on the hill that these dudes are white
You are racist.
>anon is willing to die on the hill that these dudes are white
>anon is willing to die on the hill that this literal world war 2 propaganda character is white
All of those are literally WHITE.
>anon is willing to die on the hill that this dude is white
I mean yeah. Looks russian
Dropped the story when he jobbed to Zoro. Zoro won in the STUPIDEST fricking way. A goddamn building fell on him and he can bleed for 5 days and doesn't die. Wanna show Zoro is TOUGH and recovering an injury? Make him bleed a million liters and never pass out then have him curl a camel or something moronic. There was no stake to his power level so I stopped giving a frick.
Ok, so they want to cast some shitskin Hispanic, fine, but why cast such an ugly manlet? He doesn't even have the right amount of energy for the character. Was this the best they could find or is he supposed to be a cuck?
/defensivemaneuver/
>Usopp is based on Pinocchio and his name refers to uso, Japanese for lie and Aesop's Fables. When asked by a fan what the nationalities of the members of the Straw Hat Pirates would be if One Piece was set in the real world, Oda replied that Usopp would be African.
But is it means that he would be black?
>But is it means that he would be black? Please click to withdrawal money of $2700 crypto I kindly await reply.
The picture you posted is not colored by Oda
the picture I am posting is colored by Oda
also the SBS answer he gave was more about the general vibe he gets from the characters
>the picture I am posting is colored by Oda
You forgor.
shit you right
it was too big
Look at that proud african man Usopp. He is clearly black
Here is yasopp his equally proud black father
why would you think africans are only black
tv show usopp is black and that is supposed to be accurate in terms of this argument
Cause i never saw a white one.
yes you have, you were just too dumb to notice
that sure looks the same race as usopp from the tv show
that's robins mother
Anon said he never saw a non black African, I fixed that for him, honestly my only problem with the Usopp casting is that his nose looks normal
>his nose looks normal
Yeah, unironically.
>yes you have, you were just too dumb to notice
So i SHOULD know how white african looks now, mr. race professor?
nah just been aware that there's white Africans, they did colonize the place for a few centuries after all, there's a number of White South African actors in particular, see any Neill Blomkamp movie
pretty accurate italian are not white
>Usopp is black
>his dad abandoned him to go thieving around the world
checks out
>sanji is French
>starts dressing like a woman while hanging out on an island of gay drag queens
Checks out
>anon is willing to die on the hill that this man is white
Ok, frick, this one is yellow unlike all above(white).
No Wano is japan
Honestly his ethnicity wouldn't even be bad if his accent weren't so fricking thick
To be fair, so far only let down is black Usopp. Never change a skin color and look of a character in adaptation.
Literally everyone expected him to be black, it is the correct choice
True. But don't lie about him being black in the manga
He is black in the manga
Black characters are fully inked(inversed) or screentoned, so no.
>Oda have usopp big lips, curly black hair, and has said he would be from Africa if he were real
>But since he isn't a literal walking inkblot, that means he's white
Ok dude. I don't think there's any persuading you at this point
In any other manga, that`s how black characters are depicted.
>>But since he isn't a literal walking inkblot, that means he's white
Anon this is how oda himself colored manga usopp
Tell me honestly this looks black to you?
I just don't get the need to lie and say manga usopp is black
Do you notice how he is explicitly darker than the rest of the crew in that chibi thumbnail
YES
that is my argument
that chibi thumbnail was drawn FOR THE TV SHOW
AS IN FOR THE BLACK CASTING
THAT IS MY FRICKING POINT YOU DENSE MOTHERFRICKER
Yeah, exactly. Good grief you're stupid
Anon he can draw usopp black but has only ever done so ONCE which was directly related to the tv show casting
For the manga he has always drawn him white
So manga usopp was always white
He has drawn him like every other black character in the manga
the only nigs in OP live under the sea
Black L and Jet Black would argue with you on this one.
No, they wouldn't because their creators didn't literally call them African
>also the SBS answer he gave was more about the general vibe he gets from the characters
>If the Straw Hats were real, what nationality would they be from?
I don't see anything about vibes in this question
We might also translate that as
>My instinctual response for them would be this
But only an idiot would look at that and say it's just the """""vibe""""" he gets from them
>Well. I'll just put what fits with the character's image.
That totally means it is their race and 100% has to be that way
Someone asked Oda what nationality these characters were. He replied, based on their appearance, with several nationalities. If they are not from that specific country, then we know, by the transitive fricking property, that they are from one with a very similar race
He made Brook austrian because of his fricking music
he made Sanji french because of his fricking cooking
its about vibe
its so obvious I am annoyed that anyone could be stupid enough to deny that.
You have created an intricate headcanon for yourself based on extremely technical readings of a translated sentence from a language you don't read.
and also the fact that oda never draws him black
He draws him black every single day of his life.
also I do speak some japanese
which is why I think Law for example is german in Oda's miind
because some of the terms the japanese use in medicine are loanwords from german
so he associates medicine with a german
so now we're splitting hairs over words a third party used when translating from Japanese.
Honestly for me the fact that before and after he gave a sort apoligziing qualifier makes it clear to me that Oda doesn't really thought about it much
the fact that people then take this and obsess about it and are turbo homosexuals like this guy
is annoying
You don't write
>Well. I'll just put what fits with the character's image.
before and
>This just what pops into my head when I think about them
behind them if it is a clear absolute answer.
>I'll just put what fits with the characters image: African!
>I say that because his image is very white
its not about race
>Zoro was given Japan because he uses katanas, being revealed to be descended from the racially Japanese island later was pure coincidence
No its not a coincidence why would that be a coincidence?
Because it's not about race obviously, all characters are white
>Literally everyone expected him to be black
only the mutts think that
>Law
>wants to kill the whole world
>dies in an u-boot
>is german
checks out
>luffy is Brazilian
>named monkey
Checks out
So why isn`t supposedly black Usopp called a Monkey, huh, huh?! Checkmate.
Usopp's main traits are lying, shooting and being a coward so it also checks out
He secured the bag for the next decade
>Be unknown Hispanic kid
>Get offered to play the protagonist of the best selling manga in the world and second-best selling comic in industry just behind Superman in its oncoming live-action adaptation, a literal once-in-a-lifetime opportunity
>NOOOOO B-BUT MY LITERAL NON-EXISTANT CAREERINO! B-BUT WHAT IF IT'S CRINGE?!
He'd have to be a grade A absolute moron to say no to the role.
>Germans get their anime VA
Why are we so based.
German dubs are the best in the world
Also threadly reminder that German intro is the kinoest
you guys know there are parts of africa that are not sub saharan, right?
you know you're trying to teach low iq burgers, seamonkeys and latinx
I am a burger, homosexual.
I'm sensing some tension among the anons
What's the story behind this?
It's a treasure hunt for the mysterious prize left behind by the pirate king before he was executed
>despite the material, anon's acting shone through the weak writing and effects
>though it might not (and shouldn't) get a second season, anon will hopefully land another high-profile role in the future
It's not unheard of.
Most actors would drag themselves naked across a field of broken bottles for the chance to AUDITION for a part in a production like this. Especially an unknown.
>As an unknown actor, why would you torch your career like this?
Look at Robert Pattison
he is now a big star.
you dont understand something. When you start you take every job possible, and do your best no matter what.
I respect the Luffy actor for doing all he can, even if the show fails.
How bad is this looking?
I don't think I can even bear to watch cringe shit trailers anymore
The set design is good
did they kick him out the restaurant?
Writing seems kinda cringe.
Not anime cringe which people want but quippy cringe
Rest is surprisingly decent
average cosplay with MCU quip writing
Cast him.
Easy, Jason Momoa
Part of the appeal of One Piece for me is how unapologetically cartoonish it is at every level, and I just don't believe that can be communicated in live action.
based on the trailer they won't even attempt to do that, which might be the right move for the very reason that it's, as you said, impossible. we'll see.
