    Plastic man is one of the most powerful characters but people overlook it cause of his goofy personality. He's literally immortal
  • @Mr_Mystic
    Don't forget Jake from Adventure Time either, he could literally be changed into a suit, and also had an episode where he made an entire world inside of himself by stretching. He also got stretched to his limit in one episode where he was stretched out thin. An interesting character to research if you do a second video on this.
  • Stretch powers check so many boxes. Practical, Offensive, Defensive, Preventative, and Humorous…it really is the everything power.
  • @rickybryan1759
    Luffy really puts the whole ‘stretchy powers are too hard’ argument into a box
  • @Troygdesign
    It warms my heart to see luffy front and center
  • In the Steven Universe franchise the character Spinel has Stretch Powers as well, which goes well with her whole Rubber-Hose animated thing, she can extend, compress, expand, twist & warp her body in all sorts of ways, sizes & shapes, even without any battle experience she was able to give our heroes a challenge, plus when she used a Syth based weapon she was truly a force to be reconed with, Spinel was a good example of how Stretch powers can be used well in combat(and to have a good time with friends).

    I seriously remember all the One Peice fans fighting me tooth and nail saying they couldnt do Luffy's powers live action. It's a shame you didnt cover Parasyte Part 1 and 2 because they influenced how the OP crew animated his powers. Seriously, Parastye 1 and 2 perfected live action body stretching.
  • @Matt-xg7nb
    Elastigirl also turned into a boat lol
  • What I love about one piece’s live action is how they didn’t hold back with the bizarre parts of the one piece world at all. You’d imagine of all shows, the one that focuses around a goofy rubber man would be the hardest to adapt to live action, and that they’d try to make it too serious, but mans just ballooned up and it worked Same kind of thing for the den den mushi. They’re just straight up fugly snails and it’s charming
  • @CornettoMcLovin
    I really, really love these videos going over every example of a certain power. Great stuff!
  • @Ram_Stan
    Definitely a key difference of Luffy's powers is the use of tension and momentum. This gives it more of a focus on power while the others (minus Kamala) are more focused on creativity. (Great video, lots of great examples)
  • @Teetseremoonia
    There is also Fantastic four 1994 unreleased movie. X-men had senator Robert Kelly turned into some stretchy watery creature by Magneto. There's also Flubber and the mask.
  • @damsen978
    How could you miss Jake the magic dog from Adventure Time? He's very relevant.
  • The secret life of Walter Mitty is an amazing movie. I highly recommend it. It's got a lot more soul than the clip would suggest.
  • @T_N_T_
    I'm proud to say, I've watched every single movie shown in this video
  • @aspect0700
    Your reviews are so freaking authetic dude, keep up the work!
  • @toastycarp
    Great job on the video!! From the chill vibes to the informative history on things I’ve never thought of, always glad to see a new upload
  • @HostileMustache
