Unpopular DB opinions

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
1, 4, God and Ultra are the only forms worth a crap for me. 2s just 1 but spikier and with lightning, 3s a borderline parody, Blue is relentlessly bland by being "too blue", Rose fixes some of Blue's issues by having a different eye and aura color but both it and Blue are simply way too similar to 1 for me to ignore the laziness inherent to them. And no, Rose & Blue having a bang or two out of the usual SS1 place does not make them unique. Especially since half the time the lowered bang is present in SS1 or missing entirely for Blue.
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Is disliking Dragon Ball Heroes an unpopular opinion? Because I really don't like the sheer absurdity of the crap thought up for that game.
Dark Dragon Ball Full Power Super Saiyan 4 Time Breaker Broly is a perfect example.
People like to shit on fanfiction writers for going overboard with nonsensical transformations... but Dark Dragon Ball Full Power Super Saiyan 4 Time Breaker Broly is a thing that exists in an official Dragon Ball game.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
While most users say they love both many prefer the manga over anime for Dragon Ball and other series as well and while I can see the benefits of good pacing(Freeza arc) and art consistency, music and voice actors add to much to a story for me to pass them up for pacing and art unless it's god tier art and Berserk has spoiled me in that regard.

Pacing is a big issue in any artwork. Thankfully, Kai has helped this issue a lot, but I agree that music and acting are huge benefits.DragonBallKing wrote:While most users say they love both many prefer the manga over anime for Dragon Ball and other series as well and while I can see the benefits of good pacing(Freeza arc) and art consistency, music and voice actors add to much to a story for me to pass them up for pacing and art unless it's god tier art and Berserk has spoiled me in that regard.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I thought it was good to watch a story from far far away in the future, but Goku Jr. becoming a SSJ having less than 1/16 Saiyan blood it ruined for me. I know there's no such statement that one is related to another, but it irks me anyway.Ripper 30 wrote:Another unpopular opinion, I liked DBGT- A Hero's Legacy

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Dragon Ball Heroes is pretty much Dragon Ball AF: The Video Games. Almost every fan fic idea from the early-mid 2000's has become a real thing.TheGodfather93 wrote:Is disliking Dragon Ball Heroes an unpopular opinion?

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
We know much little about Toriyama involvement in the series, what we know is that in some point he was dissatisfied and wanted to quit and then Toei had to provide him ideas for a new arc. His outlines are not fully detailed and this probably explains the differences between manga and anime.Forte224 wrote:Even though the story and characters are by Toriyama?

Except that it's not his "Full Power Super Saiyan 4", it's just Super Saiyan 4.

I know everything regarding to Broly is pure shit, heck, his whole existence is unnecessary so giving more absurdity to him won't change anything. There's no actual reason for disliking Heroes because of him.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Toriyama's involvement in Super is very vague and thin. At best its ideas that are simple but enough for the writers of the anime and manga to adapt however they like. While I certainly wouldn't disregard his involvement it is in actuality barely more than he did for GT and in every way a collaborative effort.Forte224 wrote:Even though the story and characters are by Toriyama?Noah wrote:I think the same way about Super, I actually enjoy the series, but I know none of these things actually happened.TheZFighter wrote:Fortunately it bears no relevance in the actual main continuity.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
At no point did I ever say I disliked Heroes solely because of Broly. I said that I dislike it because of all the absurd concepts and transformations in it. It's fanservice of the highest calibre, and while that's fine, it's just not something I enjoy.Grimlock wrote:Except that it's not his "Full Power Super Saiyan 4", it's just Super Saiyan 4.

So would Drumonds Vegeta be considered overacting or over the top?ABED wrote:There's a difference between overacting and being over the top.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I'd say Drummond can be over the top.
I think there's a clear distinction. Overacting is overdoing things. Over the top simply means big, flashy, flamboyant. Sometimes moments call for the latter. Maybe I didn't pick the right words, but I think there's a distinction between overdoing it in a performance vs. acting big and flashy when the moment calls for it.Really? I always thought those terms meant the same thing.

He IS over-the-top. It's one of my favorite things about Drummond's Vegeta. His over-the-top performance is just amazing to watch.ABED wrote:I'd say Drummond can be over the top.

Gary Oldman is one of the best actors at being over-the-top.
