Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"

At this point, I think it's obvious that the new transformations aren't something that Toriyama comes up with, but an imposition from above to sell toys and hype the more simplistic fans. The uglyness or simplicity of these new forms is the way Toriyama has found since BoG to entertain himself with...

Any idea of when can we expect Toriyama/production interviews and hopefully his og designs?

Yeah, the poster clarified is an illustrative edit. What has me worried/intrigued is the hair grow, I don't see the transformation as described having long life, but we'll see.

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"

I wonder if the new form will have something to with what Monaito said, about the DBs being used on namekuseijin warriors, since also Dende suggested it. Not in the movie, but in interviews or the manga.

Re: Are these four main women in Dragon Ball really "just house wives"?

Julie and others, Please reconsider this constant dishonesty. It harms more than your average malicious troll, and is the reason I and probably others stay away from these discussions here. Most people here agree with the sexism in DB being...well, there. There is no need to disproportion it and inv...

Sorry to say, but I'll have to change the supposed "Thursday" & "Friday" spoiler tweets. They're so HUGE that spoiling them would ruin the movie. They're at Andrew Garfield & Tobey Maguire level. I don't want to ruin the fun as it happened with No Way Home. https://twitt...

Re: Broken power levels in theatrical movies

Only Tagoma was compared to Zabon and Dodoria, and he died before fighting anyone. Shisami was the strongest of the mercenaries they got and was never compared to anyone. Either Shisami was stronger than Piccolo (with all its problematic implications), or Piccolo was "having problems" with...

I'll venture to guess that by "general concept" he means common use of the term: fictional-canon, like everyone else. Oh, I remember "fictional-canon" that you said before, along with the Wikipedia source. If that's what everyone else thinks to be the "common use", the...

Re: Absurdities of claiming that canon does not exist

Movies specials and whatnots are all What Ifs. They are not. when people use the word, no one is picturing any specific texts or official release. We're all thinking of the general concept. So there's where lies the problem and all of their misconceptions. People should be picturing any specific te...

I actually hope we get only fat Gotenks, or at leats, in some other way, they develop and stablish Goten and Trunks as no longer serious fighters instead of just leaving them aside with only a line or panel commenting on it, if that's what they are going for at the end. The fat joke is not funny, bu...
