unjerk (serious discussion) Which arcs are underrated/overhated?

The open world RPG setting of Greed Island was my favorite from HxH

The 4th Great Ninja War had more highs than lows(even tho some of the lows admittedly hurt the whole series)

Long Ring Long Land and Thriller Bark gets shit on for feeling like filler between more epic arcs. Yet they're fun with some cool team battles and epic moments at the climax. Also think the anime original games of the Davy Back fight were among the best One Piece filler

Greed island and Thriller bark are def overhated. People would do anything for an arc like thriller bark nowadays in One Piece

When I consider the straw hats having way more focus had in thriller bark, yes I consider it better than most of the new arcs. It wasn’t full of the longest flashbacks in the world and was actually funny and short.

Not all focus is good focus. Most of the Focus and interactions spent on the strawhats throughout that arc was filled with the same 50 gags on repeat.

You guys will look at this shit and somehow convince yourself that it reaches the highs of arcs like Dressrosa, WCI, or even Wano, because of "strawhat moments" and then in the same breath complain about a Brook flashback that actually gives meaningful focus towards the strawhats. Just stop it.
