Oh, 4Kids One Piece...
Sitting in front of the TV with my lappie because I got bored with homework assignments, and... well, One Piece is on Cartoon Network, where it looks like they've gotten about halfway through the Alabasta arc (or wherever chronologically Luffy's first fight with Croc takes place).
Besides the already spoken of awfulness of voice casting and dialogue, the digital painters have also robbed us of Robin's cleavage. Not like when FUNi painted out Marron's cleavage line in DBZ either; 4Kids has actually painted in the middle panel of Robin's corset and made it a scoop neck underneath her corset stitches. And lobbed her some.. faux Texan (or hell, I can't claim to know what the hell it is) accent. They just don't want her to be sexy, do they? O_o Or anyone.
GAHAHAHAHA they just got to the part where Crocodile is supposed to skewer Luffy on his hook, but when they pulled back to show this, they repainted it to look like Croc had just... kind of picked him up by the waist with his hook XD Oh noes. Anyway, I hear they stopped dubbing the series, at last. They must've looked further down the series, where Luffy freaking lubricates his fists with his own blood to land hits on Croc and just went, "Oh just nevermind, we're fucked."

Unrelated, but I was flipping through my giant Marvel encyclopedia thing and Electra was a Frank Miller creation? Wha- how? I always thought she was pretty cool. Was she written before Frank Miller's family was raped and murdered by whores? Or is she actually a prostitute on the side and I just never heard about it?
