Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Ehh I don't know. In terms of overall universe maybe. But its state at the start of DBO is a very convinient "greatest hits package" of everything happening, living and in 'democratic' big numbers on Earth. Most of the uniquness is gone (with millions of Buus and Namekians running around), martial arts and Ki is practically a common good etc. It really was suited for MMO environment, I don't think I would want an actual manga/anime in such universe. How can you even focus on 1 hero or group of heroes in a universe where half of the planet can be the next best thing.Jinzoningen MULE wrote: Objectively, it's pretty lame.

It essentially closed off any future that the series could have branching off from that conclusion.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I'm not a huge Naruto fan, but it did a fine job at setting up the kind of universe where everyone that wants to can have supernatural powers. In theory, anyone in that universe could be the hero or villain, depending on how hard they work (or the lows they're willing to sink to). Not saying that it's an ideal environment for DB, but it can be done.Basaku wrote:Ehh I don't know. In terms of overall universe maybe.

No, I just really don't care for them, well except for Tien, but he's not humanThe gr wrote:but why you don't care for the human fighters,is it because they replace Goten and trunks in the tournament of power arcGog wrote:I don't care about any of the human fighters.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I guess as always it all comes down to execution. In any case, I mostly wanted to bring down the opinion of DBO down a notch as I see it's getting way too many points simply for being not-GT It's not really enough, it has big flaws of its own and like I said, I would hope any potential new sequel would mostly disregard both GT and DBOJinzoningen MULE wrote: I'm not a huge Naruto fan, but it did a fine job at setting up the kind of universe where everyone that wants to can have supernatural powers.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
But what if krillin is part of the no nose clan like tien is with the three eyed clan ,I got an another ultimate unpopular opinion, I have no problem with Tadayoshi Yamamuro designs and the Man itselfGog wrote:No, I just really don't care for them, well except for Tien, but he's not humanThe gr wrote:but why you don't care for the human fighters,is it because they replace Goten and trunks in the tournament of power arcGog wrote:I don't care about any of the human fighters.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
The feeling is mutual. I think they're overrated. Of course, I can enjoy their scenes in the series pre-Super no problem, but if you asked me, I'd tell you they've done everything they need to and should retire by now. I'd say the same thing about Gokū and Vegeta.Gog wrote:I don't care about any of the human fighters.

But why you want Goku and Vegeta aka the stars of the show to retire, because quite frankly Goku is unreplaceable tbhAnime Kitten wrote:The feeling is mutual. I think they're overrated.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Well since Goku is pretty unlikable in Super, it makes sense. And EOZ was going down that road anyway, why not continue it?The gr wrote:But why you want Goku and Vegeta aka the stars of the show to retire, because quite frankly Goku is unreplaceable tbhAnime Kitten wrote:The feeling is mutual.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Because toriyama is not that type of writer to change his main character, and why should I care to a random kid that goku is going to train, who just appeared at the endDbzfan94 wrote:Well since Goku is pretty unlikable in Super, it makes sense.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I like them both, but they've simply played their part in the story. There's nothing else they should do. Let Goten and Trunks take over. Let Pan and Bra take over. There's just no reason for them to stick around after this long. I don't really have a solid argument to back this up. That's just how I feel.The gr wrote:But why you want Goku and Vegeta aka the stars of the show to retire, because quite frankly Goku is unreplaceable tbh
Like Dbzfan94 said, take an EOZ route. That was a step in the right direction as far as the main cast transition goes. Unfortunately, we all know how GT handled that... but that's a different discussion.

But pan,bra,Goten and trunks are not that interesting and I just simply hate the idea of pan and bra going Super Saiyan,and toriyama tried this with gohan but it failed miserablyAnime Kitten wrote:I like them both, but they've simply played their part in the story.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Serious talk now about the humans, I do not enjoy Krillin's design and character, he's just incredibly dull to me, I like Yamcha, it's just that he's hardly there and he's the literal personification of a butt monkey, Chiatzou is literally forgettable, Roshi's best moments are when he's Jackie Chun and his absolute worst, bottom of the shit barrel moments are when he's a perverted old fart.The gr wrote:But what if krillin is part of the no nose clan like tien is with the three eyed clan ,I got an another ultimate unpopular opinion, I have no problem with Tadayoshi Yamamuro designs and the Man itselfGog wrote:No, I just really don't care for them, well except for Tien, but he's not humanThe gr wrote:but why you don't care for the human fighters,is it because they replace Goten and trunks in the tournament of power arc
Eh, the only reason why I have any problem with Yamamuro's designs is because they just hinder the animation.
Re: Unpopular DB opinions
What about Goku Jr. and Vegeta Jr.? Nah... Who am I kidding? lolJinzoningen MULE wrote:...It essentially closed off any future that the series could have branching off from that conclusion.

It is only marginally better than the idea of a resurrected, golden-paint job Frieza. And that's saying a lot!
I just hated pretty much everything about the character and I definitely don't think the execution was... "great". Was it surprising that Zamasu switched bodies with some whatever-alternate-main-timeline Goku? Somewhat.
Was is something that I wanted to see happen officially in the franchise? No.
Do I think Zamasu (not!Goku Black) was a villain with good and unique characterization? Yes.
Had it just centered on Future Zamasu(?), I would have had a more decent opinion of the entire arc, but that's assuming the writing would have been better.
DRAGON BALL IS THE KING OF (Fighting) ANIME!!!!!!! In my opinion, at least...
My reaction to anything about Dragon Ball post-2013 that I don't like and/or is stupid.

IMO Goku Black is the only good about Zamasu as a character.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
As much as I vastly prefer Goku Black over Future Zamasu, don't you think "pretentious" can also describe Black's character, especially the Rosé scene.DBZAOTA482 wrote:IMO Goku Black is the only good about Zamasu as a character.

I don't think they're really awesome, but they're certainly worth your money moreso than the DVD seasons, or even (at current prices) the Dragon Boxes.Bansho64 wrote:This seems to be a pretty unpopular one on here;
