My more serious answer: I think Goku wanting Cell dead after losing and being outclassed is consistent with him being more pragmatic once he's lost the glorified "tournament match" he treats these life and death situations as. Him letting Vegeta go once the latter has been completely neut...

I like Oob as an ending for Goku's character. Throughout Dragon Ball Goku gradually moves from a student to a master. Along the way, many of his enemies and rivals turn into allies and friends. Along the way, he transcends nearly every wall in his path, leaving all of his rivals in the dust, and hel...

I admittedly am not a fan of Jackie Chan movies or shonen anime. That isn't to say I can't watch them, but that they have to be good on their own merit to work for me. This begs the question: Do people need to understand Wuxia and relate to the real-life psychology of athletes you're describing in ...

I promise you I am not trying to write long posts here, there's just a lot to say. As a result, I made my point clear: Parody isn't exempt from criticism. This scene largely exists to patch a hole in Toriyama's story: The cast has the means to stop the threat 3 years in advance, meaning the arc woul...

I'm really not sure what more there is to say about this topic that hasn't been said hundreds of times across dozens of threads in recent years. But since we're doing this again, I might as well try to say it better this time, I guess. There are several components here that render this scene wholly ...

With all due respect, while Dragon Ball Super and other spin-offs like GT bring in new elements and characters, they are expansions rather than the "central continuity" of the original work. And I actually agree with the users above who mentioned that Dragon Ball Super doesn't have a well...

Rafa already said some of this, but to echo it: The problem is if there's separate sub forums for both groups in General Franchise Discussion (which covers the original three anime, movies, specials, etc) you would also need to create sub-forums for each in the Kai, Super and eventual Daima sub-for...

Super can't even decide on a so-called "core continuity" for itself , much less sensibly serve as one for the entire franchise. Dragon Ball Super is very clear in its continuity and is perfectly aligned with what was established by Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z. So watch this game depict ...

If you asked me this three months ago, I'd have said that there's still plenty of goofy martial drama to go around. The most obvious thing is a "2nd Tournament of Power", with new forms and characters in the equation, like Broli, Oob, Ultra Ego, Black Freeza, Orange Piccolo, and Beast Goha...

To be blunt: topics surrounding things like television airings, dubs, home releases, picture quality, audio quality, and related minutia are deeply uninteresting to me at this point in my fandom. And there are an absolute ton of them on the front page of the General Franchise Discussion sub-forum. T...

Frankly, the Z and Super focus shouldn't really be surprising to anyone, or even come across as egregious given what the Sparking series is. Yeah, it's a shame that pre-Raditz material continues to not get as much play. In a perfect world, any game would give original manga stuff priority over suppl...

Sorry for the late reply, been busy. The entire cast of Yu Yu Hakusho, Ranma 1/2, Cobra Kai, Evil Dead, Invincible, heck, even Sailor Moon could be considered characters who are parodies of superheroes and kung-fu movies, who don't want to be superheroes, but who do end up doing good things as a res...

Nobody's arguing that Goku needs to be a superhero, he can be just a guy who's out there to fight strong people who ends up saving the world by pure accident. The problem in my humble opinion is that Goku's a bad written one, often veering into pure unlikable territory after Toriyama's decided he's...

I think about the only time in Super where Goku genuinely seemed shook about something happening to others was his rage at learning that Zamasu had killed Chichi and Goten in the future... and that scene was anime-only and therefore probably a Toei original. There was also the time when Geran tried...

Sometimes, you just gotta learn to enjoy things for what they are rather than what you want them to be. Agreed. That's why I've embraced that Dragon Ball is simply Goku's journey through the wacky never ending kung fu tournament that is life. When I'm hungry for something besides that, it's fun tha...

Training solo isn't as effective as training with a partner. Goku wanted Gohan to be a Super Saiyan in the first place so he could be a good sparring partner. Even if Gohan knew about the Room, in a timeline where Goku is dead he lacks the best teacher and sparring partner he could have hoped for. I...

As far as Future Bulma sending Trunks to save Goku instead of going to stop Gero and then save Goku....I guess Bulma learned to respect the code of the martial artist in her middle age? Product of her losing her martial arts loving best friend, her martial arts loving ex, and her martial arts lovin...

Vegeta gave Goku these options: - Goku fight Vegeta - Vegeta kills innocent people Seeing that Goku doesn't like innocent people getting killed, then he was forced to fight him. Goku listening to Kaioshin would result in Vegeta killing more people. Goku explained why he didn't use SSJ3, he wanted t...

While I think the above does go too easy on Vegeta, the fact is that Goku's presence was what allowed Babidi to tempt Vegeta. If Goku hadnt been around, I doubt Vegeta would go "MWA HAHA! I WILL BECOME EVIL TO BEAT GOHAN UP" or anything like that. I mean, there was plenty of negative emot...

Vegeta isn't to blame for Goku agreeing to fight him, he threatened Kaioshin, told Bobbidi to transport them away from the tournament grounds, and powered up to Super Saiyan 2 out of his own free will. Let's also not pretend that Goku didn't go to unnecessary lengths to indulge Vegeta. He was smilin...
