Re: Zamasu (Not Black) is very underrated...
Uh Oh, somebody didn't like the truth of the theme of Zamasu. How humans are a problem of the world and need to be eradicated. Zamasu was right, how humans corrupt and pervert what the gods has given them. He just went about it the wrong way. You're literally misinterpreting the show. The message o...

Re: Zamasu (Not Black) is very underrated...
The big thing that holds Zamasu back in my eyes is that he’s a bit too similar to other Dragon Ball villains, in a sense. I’m fine with the idea of a villain who’s a psychotic and petty man child who loves to hear himself speak, but that’s kind of what Freeza, Cell and Super Buu (by that I mean the...

Re: Zamasu (Not Black) is very underrated...
I don't see how Zamasu was petty. Zamasu is what you would call a "Morally Grey" character. He was neither good, nor completely evil. Zamasu wanted to bring about an era of everlasting peace and order throughout the cosmos, and at the same time he wanted to put an end to the petty violenc...

Re: Zamasu (Not Black) is very underrated...
Great post, well written. I agree completely and tend to compare him to Frank Grimes from The Simpsons, who can have legitimate complaints about how shit his life has been growing up, but becomes unsympathetic, when he starts mocking Homer and the like after becoming increasingly annoyed at the abs...

Zamasu (Not Black) is very underrated...
From the perspective of him being a simple unsympathetic, petty, pure hate villain. Let me explain... Plenty of people who criticize Zamasu and how he is as to being “unsympathetic” and that his motive is supposed to resonate with us without looking into how that actually works. That he you aren’t s...

Re: What's the point of bringing (Movie 20 spoilers) back?
1.). He does have options and hidden resources, he doesn’t explore to find them like the HBTC in the Cell arc, as long as he stuck to his guns and either figured out something as a solution in his own timeline, he does have something to find in his own strength if he were willing to invest the time...

Re: What's the point of bringing (Movie 20 spoilers) back?
1.) Being the strongest as of being the central focus =/= better focus. His sideline serves as a point to his flaw as a character, that he runs away from his problems as to not take point as the leader or the strongest. He is seeking the past to fix his problems in the future, he lacks will outside...

Re: What's the point of bringing (Movie 20 spoilers) back?
1.) apples and oranges. In the Android Arc Trunks’ help is far more second-hand and he doesn’t ask for how it went down, his struggles in the past and his training gave him the power to wreck the androids, not them directly coming to the future. Many things with Trunks in the Android Arc is far mor...

Re: addressing some DBS criticism
The Grand Priest's clock being wrong is the dumbest thing I've seen posted here. The objective narrator even agrees with the clock. Also, human clocks rarely make mistakes, so you would expect an angel clock to have an immeasurably small margin of error. Even if it did somehow make a mistake, some ...

Re: Y’know... I don’t get Toei/Toriyama/Toyotaro’s decisions at times.
Writing a story that is vaguely similar to something that has been written previously in time is not the same thing as literally reusing a character. That's a laughable concept, and it implies that the only way to make content is to emulate other popular stories. Except in the case of Broly it is a...

Re: What's the point of bringing (Movie 20 spoilers) back?
Dragon Ball has been squeezing out pennies from the fandom WAY before this "revival" of the franchise. Just because its normal, doesn’t mean its right. In some cases, an author will choose money over telling a story, and you get products like Super, GT, and Evolution. In other cases, an a...

Re: Y’know... I don’t get Toei/Toriyama/Toyotaro’s decisions at times.
Unoriginal ideas are still limited in how good they can be despite execution. Frieza obtaining godly strength in 6 months and the super regeneration chamber were pretty lazy concepts that obviously existed to allow Goku vs Frieza to happen. Zamas taking Goku's body was also not done very well. I do...

Re: Y’know... I don’t get Toei/Toriyama/Toyotaro’s decisions at times.
It's original comparatively. Besides, analogs of characters we've seen before is better than characters we've seen before. I just want to clarify that I don't dislike Goku Black, and that I actually like Zamas. The Black arc turned out fine, but when I see evil Goku and Future Trunks, I just see do...

Re: What's the point of bringing (Movie 20 spoilers) back?
And yes the people and the conflict generally taking place in the future is a big change and serves the characters struggles well. As I said. Trunks has to find his own way out of this since he can’t keep running to the past for his troubles, that was his flaw as a character Trunks didn’t learn his...

Re: What's the point of bringing (Movie 20 spoilers) back?
So? Outside of those 3 things how are they the same? And also those were under different circumstances and knowledge. 1.) Trunks Future was already long terrible with the Androids, it’s practically his whole life, Zamasu and Black came out of nowhere as he was rebuilding his life. 2.) As they were ...

Marketing, editorial suggestions, and nostalgia pandering. Basically, everything we've gotten since F. Before some smartass comes at me about Zamasu and Black, yes, they were unique characters.

Re: Y’know... I don’t get Toei/Toriyama/Toyotaro’s decisions at times.
Super sure has been brimming with originality. I guess the Champa arc is as good as it gets. Alternate saiyan and Freeza aren't that original. It's original comparatively. Besides, analogs of characters we've seen before is better than characters we've seen before. "Evil Goku" was actuall...

Re: addressing some DBS criticism
It looks similar because Because Akira is lazy, that was pretty clear when he used a color-swap for SSGSS, and then confirm it even further with his "design" of UI look, he just took SSG Goku design and changed the eyes, and the color of the hair. SSJB can do what Goku was training SSJ to...
