User blog comment:Samium/Oda's 2017 New Years resolutions .... I wish/@comment-24850639-20170208165200

Uranus - I get that, but you have to understand that Oda doesn't introduce these things just out of nowhere. The story has to be in a place where it provides enough context for it to actually make sense. We first heard about Pluton all the way back in Alabasta, before we even knew there were 3 weapons total. Why? Because the actual poneglyph that tells Pluton's location is IN ALABASTA. We find out Poseidon in Fishman Island. Why? Because that's literally where Poseidon is. As of right now, we have no real reason in the story to be discussing Uranus. No characters in the story have even mentioned it lately, its just on everyone's mind now because we now know about 2 out of 3. It's completely natural for everyone to be speculating as to what it is, or where it is, but where the STORY is right now, it currently isn't relevant. Just give it time for the us to get to where Uranus will have more relevance.

Dragon - LMFAO @ intelligent conversation. Luffy? Seriously? Luffy is so far beyond caring about anything related to Dragon that he probably wouldn't even really have anything to say to him. Maybe thank him for keeping Robin safe, but Luffy's not the kind of person who would go asking all these questions about why he didn't raise him, what his goals are, etc. So really, your expectations for this meeting need to come from Dragon's perspective. Dragon has acted very weird and aloof about Luffy sometimes, but he has also acted in ways that shows he does care about his son. If anything, you should be looking for Dragon to maybe be a little more forthcoming about why his work meant that he couldn't be a part of his life. He did say "the time will come for us to meet", so I'm sure the meeting will happen. Just not how you seem to be envisioning it.

Kingdoms/Tyrants - If this seriously bothers you, you should probably just stop reading/watching. THEY ARE PIRATES. Simply by default, they go from place to place as a means to get to their ultimate destination. Every single island they go to doesn't have to be its own nation (Little Garden, Long Ring Long Land, Punk Hazard, etc.), but in a civilized world I'm not sure why it wouldn't make sense to you if most of them are. If enough human beings congregate in any one place, then naturally there are going to be rules established, and usually someone placed in charge. When you add in the fact that most arcs are going to have an antagonist of some kind, then sorry, this is what you end up with. It isn't like Oda hasn't switched it up, the current king/ruler isn't always the bad guy. Even moreso when you don't limit it to just "King", and include other top leadership positions like "Mayor" as in Orange Town and Water 7. But I'll digress on that, feel free to not bother to read the Wano arc, since its going to be yet another "peaceful kingdom under an evil tyrant". Lol

Nami - Why Nami specifically? Quite a lot of women in this series are scantily clad. I'd say Smoothie's asscheeks with her thong and the panty shot of Reiju having a full conversation with Luffy like that's completely normal is going much farther than anything Oda has done with Nami up to this point. At least in Nami's case it's addressed in some kind of way with Genzo's gags when he sees her bounty poster. But Rebecca? She has a FATHER and GRANDFATHER right there, and she's 16 years old! You're barking up the wrong tree with this one. Oda has already said that he was haunted by someone telling him his women aren't "sexy" enough, so again sorry, this is what you end up with.

I won't even address the other points, I'm already on a full-scale rant. But long story short, just put the series down if it bothers you that much. The manga is on 850+ chapters and counting, with the anime approaching that soon as well. No other series in my lifetime, be it manga, sitcom, or what have you, has lasted that long. So if the target audience had as many fundamental issues with the series as you seem to have, it definitely wouldn't have gotten this far. Based on a lot of the blogs I've seen from you, your main gripe about the series seems to be the protagonist's personality, and to that I'm not really sure what else to tell you that hasn't been said.
