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.

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.

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
I really, really love these videos going over every example of a certain power. Great stuff!

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)
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.

i know its 2d animation but mezo shouji from mha has one of the coolest versions of stretchy powers. f.y.i he has a power that allows him to stretch and add more appendages to his body they can be eyes, ears, and hands. and his hands can have webbing that help sheild himself or others.
@taqresu5865

Kinda. There are a fair number of constraints and limitations, like it only seems feasible with his arms, and he's not quite as versatile as plastic man or Luffy. Speaking of which, I wouldn't be surprised if Horikoshi makes a Luffy inspired character.
What I find so funny is that almost all of these characters have practically the exact same powers but use them different because they're goofy and extremely dependant on creativity. Plastic man is one of the most powerful characters in all of dc when he actually gets serious and because all of these people are so similar they could all technically be much more powerful than they seem to be in their respective media. I love it

We need more evolution of powers type videos, it will us creatives to inspire and create
One piece just goes to show how an adaptation SHOULD be as true to the source material as possible. I hate hearing people say "If you wanted the original, play/watch the original."
One Piece didn't get the inspiration from all the other media, all the other media got inspiration from One Piece. They are all One Piece References. Live action just adapted all the same stuff that happened in anime and manga which came way before flash and other live action tv series/ movies

Nice video❤
plastic man’s power isn’t really STRETCHING, it’s more of an ability to change his molecular structure to ANYTHING he wants, he can even increase his mass to become stronger and he’s damn near immortal, the only” weakness” he has is the temperature, if it’s too hot he melts if it’s too cold he freezes and you’re able to break him into small pieces, but it won’t last long because he’ll come back like nothing happened
Who could have guessed that sticking to the source material, would turn out to be the secret to making a live action adaptation of an anime be a world wide hit. On a non-sarcastic note, it's the windup and momentum that really make stretchy powers work in animation and cgi IMO. Noodles was actually some of my favorite visuals, though not when he supersized his hand. It's the implication that it's gaining mass, yet he moves it with the same dexterity as if it had very little mass. I'm surprised Tom Hardy's Venom didn't make the list.

I remember from Teen Titans that there was a character named Madame Rouge, she also had stretchy powers along with the ability to shape shift into other people. Somehow she was even able to change her voice to sound like others as well. She's not well known but she's just as affective as other powerful characters.
you should consider Rita Farr from Doom Patrol for a part 2, she shows how stretch powers are a curse more than anything

The trick to a proper adaptation is follow the source material and change little to nothing only adding to it's already greatness e.g The last of us series, one piece, House of the dragon etc. The fans fell in love with those materials because of what they are.

some changes can be for the better though and also some adaptations just dont work, and they may not be small ones that dont work either. The trick is definitely following source material but maybe putting a slightly different spin to it, if you just copy and paste things get boring. Like live action disney movies, at least for me.

So entertaining
For Kamala in the comics its a mix of her inhuman genes and the terrigen mist activating her powers. in the MCU version she is a "mutant" where the bangle gives her the mysticle light powers
Luffy's attacks in the live action are definitley based on the things they look like because they probably used it as a base for their live action CGI, but in the anime, it is it's own thing, especially now in the gear 5.

They did Kamala’s powers so dirty in the MCU. From my perspective the whole point of her stretchy powers was that they were kinda awkward aesthetically as opposed to Mr. Fantastic’s more tactical use or Plasticman’s comedic style. That gets lost when they give her hard light powers instead.
9:28 Doctor Doom: And I took that personally
Luffy's attack feels as if his opponents were hit by a big giant tractor wheel, instead of just a mere rubber or slime
