@pariston_hill:
By all means people are allowed, it just falls flat when most people's complain boil to "it wasn't in the webcomic so me don't like it", any other argument I perceive as welcome. The point regarding the length of the arc is that this is OPM's equivalent to Marineford, if One feel like it was to rushed in the webcomic, it apparently is the case or else he wouldn't be expanding the story, let him do it.
Just because an author thinks they should do something to improve the story doesn't always mean they should or that it makes it better
the best example I can think of right now (because I'm kind of tired) is all the things George Lucas added in the re release of the original trilogy to "Make it better", making han shoot second, adding dumb cgi to stuff like the monsters the storm troopers ride on or even Jaba, the singing scene etc
just because an author thinks there improving the story doesn't mean it's true
granted if you personally think it's better than the original that's a different story, but just because an author thinks somethings better doesn't make it so
