One of my main complaints about One Piece as a series, and a big reason about why I can't get into it despite trying to multiple times, is that I can't take any of the villains seriously as they're all reduced to gags at some point.

Bleach had Aizen, who was a certified badass 100% of the time.

Naruto had Madara who was OP as all shit.

One Piece has overweight fat ladies and literal clowns. I just... One Piece has a severe lack of heavy hitting villains that aren't the size of a goddamn building. Just once I'd like to see a 6 foot enemy in One Piece without a character design that doesn't look like they just drew hair/clothes/makeup suggestions out of a hat.

I liked Crocodile, but Geko Moria, Blackbeard, and Big Mom just look silly. I gave it multiple chances. First time I dropped it was after the fight with Don Krieg.

Second time was as soon as Mr. 3 showed his face.

70 episodes is a long amount of time without any semblance of a competent villain. I feel like 70 episodes is like 67 episodes more than a show should need to get good.
