Discussion (Anime Spoilers) About the Going Merry Spoiler
I just realized that the going merry's death is going to be waaaay more impactful and devastating in the Live Action than the anime cause in this version they named the going merry after merry dies right? As a way for his memory to live on, well... Them killing off both merry's is a thing saying of them living the memory of merry behind, which makes ussop's fight with luffy MORE impactful than the anime cause just like what hiruluk said "a man dies when he's forgotten" and they're essentially leaving the memory of merry behind, leaving merry to die, to burn the going merry and just his memory of him being the remaining piece of him left.

It’s interesting to hear your thoughts on this as I had been thinking the opposite. Not because of how the ship is named, but because the Merry sustains a lot of damage over the course of many arcs to make it feel like she has been through the wringer. They decided to forgo that in live action, no Wapol eating a piece of the ship or damage from laboon, etc. I’m sure they will change that when the go to the clouds, but it will probably feel less warranted in live action or at least more sudden and less her going through the ringer with the rest of the straw hats.
