There is excatly the right amount of "hype" about Shanks.

Shanks is Luffys idol and insperation that set the course for the rest of his life, saw blackbeard comming years ahead of everyone else, has obviously masterd the lessons he learned from the best in the business e.g. Pirate King and Dark King, and has been sailing the worlds oceans freely for more than 20 years, is partying and having a good time pretty much all the time, lives like an emperor and can afford to do so, is one of the top four pirates, has friends like the worlds strongest swordsman and the next Pirate King, is known and feared around the world, and from how the story has been set up so far, if he ever were to go down it would be epic like whitebeard.
