Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Freeza saga is the weakest in the whole series next to Cell. It just becomes so fucking boring after the Ginyu come to Namek. Awful pacing, a stupid parody, a boring battle, and like 10 chapters of charging up. It's bad, not Cell levels, but it's close.

Ok.
I love Goku's 'Big Green' dub voice. It does not fit his character at all, but gosh darn it, I love listening to the sound of it. Heck, I enjoy the sound of it more than Schemmel's.

Gohan big moments in Z never worked for me. SS2 transformation and fight? Ultimate Fight? Some of the worst moments in Z where Gohan loses all his good aspects for the sake of being 'cool' and 'badass'The Patrolman wrote:Ultimate Gohan at the beginning never worked for me. The theme of Dragon Ball is training and Gohan just sitting there and Old Kai just dances around him really undermines it
When Super apparently shoves Goku down our throats:

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Big Green Goku's voice was one of the better Big Green voices. I think one of Gasman Goku's best moments was in DBZ Movie 8 involving the "get Gohan to prestigious school" subplot. He actually kind of covered his childish side nicely there.Weejus wrote:I love Goku's 'Big Green' dub voice.

I don't think this is unpopular. I think the whole reason Big Green is as well known as it is, is because a lot of the performances were genuinely very charming.Weejus wrote:Hold my beer.

Gohan not developing an ego against Cell and Buu would be a great start. People spent a long time talking about how Super ruined Gohan, but the ToP has made Gohan likeable again.Noah wrote:And how would you improve that?Kanassa wrote:Gohan big moments in Z never worked for me.

Before Super; Gohan was remembered for was being the dude that got tricked twice for the same reason - his ego. Now Gohan is winning fights and staying humble. Massive improvement.

That would be okay if it were an intentional arc.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
David Gasman's performance in movie 8 is actually pretty solid. He is somewhat hamstrung by the deep voice and bad script, but he manages to pull off the childish aspects of Goku very well in that film.Danfun64 wrote:Big Green Goku's voice was one of the better Big Green voices.

I actually didn't have a problem with Gohan's green tracksuit. I thought it looked good on him, especially when he went Super Saiyan, and it made him stand out from the others.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I actually wish Gohan got to wear something different like the track suit for the TOP rather than wearing the kame gi trying to look like a Goku clone. I always liked his blue red belted gi he wore while training Goten and Videl.TheDipDap1234 wrote:I actually didn't have a problem with Gohan's green tracksuit.

I think the most well developed character in the series is Goku.

He's very inconsistently written. I'd say the character with the best developed arc in the series is actually Mr. Satan.nickzambuto wrote:I think the most well developed character in the series is Goku.

Also real people are not always consistent with their actions so sometimes I don't see the logic in stating that 'x' was OOC because he acted a bit differently than he usually was.ABED wrote:How is he inconsistently written?Doctor. wrote:He's very inconsistently written.

I want to hear as well. Most of the commonly proposed inconsistencies, like his floating moral scale between prioritizing fights and prioritizing protection, I would call complexities.ABED wrote:How is he inconsistently written?He's very inconsistently written.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I think he might be reffering to Goku showing to care about Vegeta when they fought in the Boo arc instead of finishing the whole thing as a SSJ3, which I disagree.
