Comicbook.com had the chance to chat with One Piece's showrunner about how Luffy's stretching was brought to the real world.
Netflix's One Piece is a hit. Taking a major chance in bringing the shonen franchise to life, the showrunners responsible for Luffy and his Straw Hat Pirates on the streaming service are already working on the second season. Recently, we here at Comicbook.com had the opportunity to chat with showrunner Steve Madea about a number of topics that were related to the Grand Line.
Madea started the conversation on Luffy's powers by stressing the amount of thought that went into translating his stretching abilities to the live-action format,"There was so much thought and conversation that went into how to do the devil fruits and how do visual effects for the show period. And the first idea was let's keep everything as grounded as possible.
Gum Gum Live ActionMadea then extrapolated on addressing Monkey D. Luffy's super powers and what the best method was to make them not"look fake" in the series,"On Luffy's stretching, we knew we had the ability to make it top of the line special effects, but how do we make it not look fake? Because that effect just looks fake sometimes, even when it's really well done.
Luffy's powers will only get stronger and wilder as the live-action series progresses. While nothing has been discussed so far, if Monkey ever hits his"Gear" transformations, then the showrunners and virtual effects departments will have some serious work on their hands.
