Re: Opinion of Abridged?

We're probably not going to change each other's minds on the subject, so I think it's best to just agree to disagree here. Dude I don’t know about you but I swear, I’m not in the least attempting to change your mind on anything, whatever I’m replying is to clarify things that seem unclear. Which I ...

Re: Bacterian's job is cook

Going on a tangent but I think the Daimao arc and Saiyan arc were Toei’s best work in expanding and improving on the source material. Shame they did a 180 on the Namek arc. Watching the Saiyan arc right now, and 100%. I love or even just like the majorty of filler. Same with Daimao. It adds so much...

Re: Opinion of Abridged?

I mean I guess so, but we're also discussing it seriously on a forum for the official series (and its components) in the first place. Maybe it seems a bit much to critique it to this degree, but people are pretty harsh on fans films, too. It's just the nature of things. Lol. No. I didn’t say it sho...

Re: What Is Your Favorite Example of a Storytelling Device Toriyama Uses?

What people here are ignoring is that in DBZ it's always Goku or anyway another Z fighter who gets the final kill and looks like the "hero who saves the day", this is never the case in Super aside from the Moro arc. You can't compare Goku beating Frieza on Namek or Gohan killing Cell or G...

Re: Opinion of Abridged?

I'm not saying fanbases should color anyone's perception of a series, but they often do in the digital age. I get that, but I simply perceived a truly exaggerated importance given to the fanbase coming from many comments here Those comments you shared didn't come off as snobby to me. Just people's ...

Re: Opinion of Abridged?

A lot of the people with complaints (about the fanbase) have said they do like DBZA, so I'm not sure why you're accusing anyone of being snobbish. People also aren't snobbish if they don't find it funny or recommend people don't use it as a substitute. Either way, if that was his point, it was pret...

Re: Opinion of Abridged?

So you're not doing anything of any further substance. There is some substance to what that person pointed out. That most of the complaints here come off grumpy (I would use snobbish). Not because you don’t like the series! Just because most of you are taking a fanmade parody so seriosuly (comparin...

Re: What Is Your Favorite Example of a Storytelling Device Toriyama Uses?

I love when he actually has Goku lose. Which happens more than you'd think. His losses in the 21st and 22nd Budokai served to fuel his mindset and further growth as a martial artist. He lost embarrassingly to Tao initially. He lost badly to Piccolo Daimao initially. Popo made him look like a joke u...

Re: What would make a good ending for the series?

Whether or not you like them doesn't mean they don't exist, so that's irrelevant here. You're the one who's being dense. And they still had endings. You're making less and less sense the longer this goes on. Okay, I need to know right now, are you fucking with me at this point? I can go write a fan...

Re: What would make a good ending for the series?

Then why the hell did you use the original Star Wars trilogy as an example of a good ending earlier? Clearly you can keep going past a good ending. Like, what? First of all, the second trilogy was a prequel. Thanks for being really dense about it though. Secondly... Because the next two trilogies w...

Re: What would make a good ending for the series?

By this same logic, endings that are non-linear are also bad by default. Take the ending to, say, Citizen Kane. It's the exact same as the beginning of the movie, just with an additional piece of information. The story is told through flashbacks. The viewer develops an understanding of the theme as ...

Re: What would make a good ending for the series?

The staggering irony here is that I'm always the one talking about how DB is a show about punching people in the face, and yet here w hen I'm trying to emphasize that fact to show that it's not conducive to endings, it's somehow being used against me lol That's because this is not a fact at all.

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

I definitely like 21's design and the concept of a Majin-esque android. It would be cool if she was the secret villain of the film.

Re: What would make a good ending for the series?

This isn't merely a difference of opinion. You are making a disingenuous argument. I stated my opinion that DB doesn't have good endings because it doesn't have good stories to make good endings. You guys proceeded to get personally offended by the idea that DB isn't good at storytelling and then t...

Art is subjective. No one can definitely state whether or not something is good or bad . If that's what you're waiting for me to prove, Cursed Lemon , then you're wasting your time.

No, people are complaining that fans of DBZA treat it as the actual legitimate form of the show . It's a strawman argument to say that people are mad about people not liking things they like; that's something you brought into this. Are you saying this to try to vindicate your opinion here Because i...

There are COUNTLESS stand-alone stories even that end without closing the book on everything , yet they're among some of the most beloved endings of all-time.
