Thank god oda got corona, I swear to god one piss is the worst shounen and I want to kill beat that gook up for stealing my time

I might watch Captain Phillips now. I honestly like everything I've seen this guy in.

too skinny?

why do i always expect to hear the sound of flies when looking at pics of that guy?

Unironically great choice

He actually looks like a real life One Piece character, but not fucking Blackbeard. Blackbeard is a big guy.

retarded larper, you are not witty

for you

Wouldn't be the first time he played a pirate

that's hilarious

:)

>Character named Blackbeard is actually black

>netflix casts a nigger
well fuck sonny jim better hold the presses

Isn't one piece complete normie garbage?

>Marty Adelstein

I can see him being a sleazy son of a bitch and grin like Blackbeard, as long as you know, he gets an actual beard and some scruffy hairs. He's a skinny dude tho, especially compared to BB.

I om de capten noo

Fucking dropped so hard.

What the fuck is Teach's race in One Piece anyways? Afro-Latino or some shit?

Shounen is the Japanese equivalent to capeshit and is for teens, filtering it out along with moe and anime sucks a lot less

This
Hes perfect shape for a skinny version of blackbeard.

>look at me, I'm the Shichibukai now. Zehahahaha!

No, normies hate it.

They should've chose Idris Elba, unironically.

Pretty accurate. Oda said Blackbeard is Somalian. He better get fat.

He's definitely some kind of black

He's Somali

I can see it. This guy Mightve made a decent Usopp if he could act differently.

I see. It always bugged me because I thought he was Samoan or some shit.

he is so ugly. why would anyone want to see him on the big screen?

That's the most stereotipical somalian face and name.

Even old people in Japan read One Piece. It's normie.

I like how this guy acts.

I don’t know anything about this guy but Blackbeard being a huge scarred up chad is pretty essential to his character IMO. He’s supposed to be a big risk taker who counts on just being tougher and smarter than everyone- this guy would fit as a jillion other characters.

Because he's the one who started the stereotype

>Barkhad Abdi again as a pirate
He stole the role

Kino casting, but they need a fatsuit

ZEHAHAHAHAHAHA, SENCHOU

>normie

He didn't though.

>Cast Black Beard
>Season is 10 episodes and deals with East Blue
>Black Beard doesn't show up until right before Sky Peia

wtf

>Source: Your ass
Blackbeard wouldn’t be in the east blue arc anyway you fucking retard. The one thing we know is that they’re adapting east blue.

>no source
Come on, user

Not that I believe OP but they definitely aren't going to adapt it 1:1

Blackbeard could absolutely appear is season one, along with Im and Kaido. Big Mom could be in the first scene for all we know.

Who would you guys cast as the Straw Hats?

Hardmode: Be realistic about the type of actor that would be in a Netflix anime adaption

I've met plenty of them before seeing this dude, and they all look like siblings.

I'M THE CAPTAIN NOW

If we're being realistic, I doubt any big names would appear as Straw Hats. I think everyone would want Dwayne as Franky, though.

>Blackbeard
>In East blue

That would break the entire story, and add a layer of complication that would make it really inaccessible to people who haven’t already read the manga. The good thing about the East Blue arc was that it was simple as fuck. Split into mini stories about each crew member as they join and ending with the journey into the Grand Line. They would have to fuck with the plot a lot to justify mentioning Kaido or Big mom before they even get to the main part of the sea where the pirates are.

Netflix comes through with the shit casting yet again

Then don’t say big names, user. There are actors who aren’t A-list, you know.

I absolutely agree. I'm just not putting it past the producers to change the entire story.

Nah apparently the story is good but the art is fucking awful

BB has one of the most iconic lines.

This just confirms to me that Luffy is going to be a spic. Dropped.

It’s kind of the best of the big Shonen manga. Naruto and Dragonball are both more Normie than OP ever was, even though OP is more successful.

Unless this motherfucker somehow manages to bulk up harder than Bale ever has, hell no. That guy who played Hawk in Spencer Confidential in a fat suit might've been a better choice

The guys who watch anime where I work barely know it exists. One Piece is on the fringes of pop culture consciousness here in the West

Nope, One Piece is unironically great. And while it's very popular worldwide it's hardly normie in the west. Normies in the west like Dragonball, Naruto, Death Note, My Hero Academia, Attack on Titan, etc. One Piece is not normie in the west. And again, it's very good, only hipsters and contrarians dislike One Piece.
