Re: Unpopular DB opinions

Trunks shouldn't have killed King Cold with such ease. I get it, badass entrance and all, but just seeing him wreck Frieza was enough to prove his strength. Now because of that we never got to see any of Cold's moveset, potential transformations etc. He is just wasted as a character, not even in DB...

Re: Team Four Star's influence on Dragon Ball's revival

I never felt like they were full of themselves at all and i'm not too bothered by people quoting it. You don't need to constantly defend their honour my dude. And if you do, at least articulate why you feel the way you feel, seeing you chime in with "nu-uh!" is a little disheartening. For...

Re: General Yamamoto Rip off thread

If this general is still active, then I’m not sure this one has been posted before, but he also ripped one of Kenji Kawai’s themes. Super Butōden 3 OST 4 - The True Battle Begins! The Red Spectacles theme by Kenji Kawai Kei17 already posted this one in the thread. I disagree with their take however...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions

I can't be upset with Yamamoto. I just can't. I know there's some cognitive dissonance going on, because I totally understand why what he did was wrong, but the music I heard from the games had such an impact on me growing up, I find it really difficult to even feel bad enjoying his music. I know a ...

Re: Is it time to accept Faulconer OST did it better than the original?

They didn't. Japanese Dragon Ball now sounds the way it does because the audio masters were thrown out by Toei after each episode aired for the first time. The show's audio quality was much higher when it originally aired. This is one thing I've been curious about since seeing GhostEmperorX 's post...

Re: What if they made the Moro arc a movie instead?

I doubt they go that route because...DBZ aint Berserk. Berserk is a decades long epic, DB is very much not. I don't think there's any way they'd be able to justify having people wait years for a conclusion of a movie. Basically, if they do adapt Moro for a film, I think they completely start from s...

Re: What if they made the Moro arc a movie instead?

As much as everyone is right about it being too much for one film to tackle, I'm surprised no one has suggest multiple films. Like the Berserk flicks. I think I'd be down to see arcs tackled in multiple movies, best of both worlds, great animation while being able to tell larger stories.

Re: Is it time to accept Faulconer OST did it better than the original?

I'll admit, the clickbait title did get me. Though if you are serious, not being 'cheesy' is not a strength Faulconer has one Kikuchi or.. frankly any soundtrack. It's loaded with cheese, it's a three cheese melt. It's aged like fucking milk to the point that it's become cheese. It's about as awkwar...

Re: Does the fact the DBS anime is not returning make you loose intrest in DB?

It depends what you mean by 'loose interest'. If you mean partake in discourse, I'm actually more inclined to discuss Dragon Ball when new content isn't coming out. It means the boards are less busy which normally makes for more substantive discussion (as the majority of posters aren't reacting to s...

Guess we'll have to agree to disagree on this one, I think TFS absolutely could win in court over this, but I understand them not wanting to hedge their bets on it. Yeah but try to take in the information being given to you, instead of just 'agreeing to disagree'. The implication here is that you h...

"Supreme Kai - Dragon Ball's WORST CHARACTER!" Youtube was a fucking mistake. I think I posted a while ago about how people who partake in battle power discussions aren't toxic. I still stand by that, to a degree. What I do think is toxic to the discourse of this series is this measuring s...

Re: Can't get into Kai

I do think it's worse in some ways, the censorship, distracting new animation and that horrible green tint in the Buu arc both come to mind. You're misunderstanding what they're saying. Censorship, New animation, and green tint have nothing to do with the dub's quality, which is what Matches Malone...

Re: Why did Android 20 deny being Dr Gero?

Who knows, maybe Toriyama wasn't intending on it. Maybe Gero was a totally different character that we'd meet later, and the whole 20 = Gero thing was introduced as a means of transitioning to the arc's reboot.

Re: Was the original premise of the Android arc better?

Think about it. If Toriyama went with 19 and 20, then the plot is a mysterious teenager shows, warns Goku, Goku trains, and eventually defeats them. It's a plot, but a VERY straightforward one. Trunks doesn't really serve much purpose. There are very few reversals or plot twists. At most, I see tha...
