So an article only has to mention the word "women" and the comments section descends into political discourse? smh

I have total faith in Oda's judgment and ability to continue making both the manga and the movies as great and consistent as they've always been, and to create and write amazing characters, regardless of gender.

Would be curious to hear more about Oda's reasoning; it's hard to judge what he's thinking just from the brief sound-byte-like quote. But also am kind of even more curious about this:

ANN Piece wrote:
As for the request to give a female character an important role, Shimizu stated that it was difficult to write the script while taking that into account.


I .. what? Why would it be difficult to write the script while giving a female character an important role? It feels like Oda said "My only demand is that you make a character eat a sandwich at some point in this movie-length work" and the director responded, "Well, that is quite the binding constraint and a very difficult ask, as I'm sure you're aware, but I as a talented person willing to invest myself fully, will see this through to your satisfaction and live up to your deepest sandwich spirits, Oda-sensei."

I dunno, I'm way more interested in why he requested a different director. Was he just looking for a different approach to this movie?
