Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie Thread: "Broly"
Japan are horrendous at marketing their own movies. They're just giving away exactly what's gonna happen in the movie. So... Like we all knew what SSG was before that movie and SSB and Golden Freeza before that one. Go back to the 90's and the last Gogeta movie was marketed around Gogeta despite th...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie Thread: "Broly"
Beerus and Whis do kinda kill all tension when they're around. And while I love the idea in theory of Gokû and Vegeta training together under Whis they really haven't done enough with that imo to make me say I'd miss that so.....I think I'd be ok with them writing Beerus and Whis out. (It'd be sad ...

Re: Was Vegeta "third time's the charm" for a rival?
Tenshinhan and Piccolo became allies with the heroes immediately in the next arc and didn’t have time to develop into rivals. Vegeta was an antihero in the arc following his and it always felt like a marriage of convenience. Vegeta also was never on anything resembling good terms with Goku until the...

Re: Do you think Dragon Ball Evolution is the Worst Movie Ever?
No. It's a poor Dragon Ball adaptation. If you never knew anything about Dragon Ball or the manga, it's a somewhat mediocre under budget hero flick comparable to something the Power Rangers would do. It's not really in the realm of worst films ever. It's not a good film either.

Re: Would y’all like it if Tori rebooted other Z Movie/GT villains?
Broly is uniquely suited to a reboot because 1. He's a cool concept, but his execution is flawed so there's room for improvement. 2. His backstory can be tied to Goku/Vegeta/Freeza and actual in story lore. 3. Unlike Cooler who is a stand in for Freeza, or Turles who is a stand in for the Saiyan inv...

Re: So; has anyone else thought about how ridiculously lucky the Z fighters have been overall?
It seems like ever since day one. Whenever Goku fights someone hugely powerful and wins, someone else comes along who dwarfs the other guy. Then he beats him and a new person comes along who dwarfs him. Rinse, lather, repeat. But what if someone arrived early? Like for example what if when Raditz d...

Re: Why are they retconning the original Bardock special? Now it's no longer canon?
Regarding the OP, since when was the Bardock special canon? It never was. Toriyama referencing two panels from a specific scene doesn't mean the whole special was taken into account for his story. He simply liked it. More to the point, he didn't even write the original special. If Toriyama wants to...

Re: Why are they retconning the original Bardock special? Now it's no longer canon?
What a waste. The original Bardock special, along with the flashbacks of Freeza knocking out King Vegeta on his ship, and destroying Bardock and his team is no longer canon? So what happened to Bardock's team? Do they no longer exist, the ones Dodoria killed? Bardock will no longer fight Freeza in ...

Re: Why are they retconning the original Bardock special? Now it's no longer canon?
The original Bardock special was no more canon than the Broly or Cooler movies lol. Aside from one panel in the manga, that's the only thing about it. And honestly, I get that it was popular with fans, but it was otherwise irrelevant from a canon perspective. Not to mention this definitively gets r...

Man, Vegeta looks ugly on this pic... Is almost like a chibi version of his adult self and for real... A child who already has baldness? The TV Special and BoG (arc) handled that much better: Baldness? Isn’t it just an exaggerated widows peak? Yup lol. I've never looked at Vegeta and thought "...

Re: By design, what is your favorite Saiyan transformation?
1. SSJ2. It's basically just SSJ but a little more heightened design wise with lightning. 2. SSJ Blue. I just like the twist on the original design and it does look like it's basically the Saiyan internalization of what would be god ki. It's very appealing to the eye and has a special look to it. 3....

Re: Which did it better, GT or Super?
The way the Shadow Dragons were handled was so sloppy. They were supposed to be the final antagonist yet half of them were killed by base Goku, most have ugly designs and all have little personality. Syn/Omega Shenron and Nova were the only ones that stood out in any way. Yeah, not to mention their...

Re: Why did Sean Schemmel seem so off in OG Dragon Ball?
I think he was just trying to channel his earlier performance because technically he was portraying a Goku closer to early Z.

I've notice over the last 2 years that GT fans/apologist are probably the most oversensitive and easily offend people in the fandom smh.

Re: Why does it seem that Gogeta has wayy more fans than Vegito?
Gogeta is a cooler and superior combination of Goku and Vegeta's names than just adding and an "o" to the end. He's less of a comedic character in his first appearance. He has better attacks "big bang kamehameha, his finiher in the movie" He's used more sparingly.

Re: DragonBall Z Abridged
I'm really glad they still gave this season some closure for several reasons. The first being the obvious that it was a long time coming, but the second is that a lot of the side characters will get relegated to much smaller roles in the next arc. Kuriren/Yamcha/Tenshinhan are glorified cameos in th...
