Who looks more disgusting: Freeza 3rd form or Cell 1st form?

Post by TheRed259 » Fri Jan 05, 2018 12:57 pm

Who do you think looks more disgusting: Freeza is his 3rd form or Cell in his 1st one? I would go with Imperfect Cell because of his mouth I guess LOL.

Imperfect Cell. Remember when he 'drank' that fat man? That was so creepy and revolting. And i guess i also hate him because i despise insects in real life, and Imperfect Cell looks like a bug, so...

Cell acts more disgusting while Freeza looks more disgusting...or disturbing.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

Man this just reminds me of how 1st form Cell had so much potential! Just wasted and we got this generic "I wanna be perfect and test my true strength" shitty villain in the end. Sigh.

First Form Cell, easily. I think what makes it work is his mouth. While it's obvious that he has one and can use it, that large orange pod going over where his nose, mouth and chin makes it look like he's had something surgically attached over it and he can't even breath, almost like something out of Saw that's choking him.

Being an interesting character I guess. As Imperfect and Semi-Perfect Cell, he had much clearer motives and would do anything to get them. And despite being less intelligent, he was still crafty; the period where he's sneaking around absorbing humans is a very unique one in Dragon Ball because usually the villains make themselves very obvious as to where they are. But, when Cell achieves Perfection, his motive changes to "I wanna flaunt it" which isn't as interesting. I mean it almost feels like Cell can be talked out of the Cell Games (and not in a good way like Fat Buu), he doesn't feel like a real villain anymore.

That's incredibly vague. And his motives were always clear. First, he's trying to become perfect, and when he becomes perfect, he wants to test his limits and then strike fear in people before killing them. Of course he changed his motives because he achieved his goal. His first goal (trying to achieve perfection) was intermediate. I'm not saying he's interesting when he's perfect, but I think you don't quite understand what's motivating him.

To answer the question, Cell's first form is very bug like and more disgusting. Freeza just looks like a xenomorph and I was never disgusted by that design.

Ce''s first form is a fantastic design, easily his best, and one of my favorites from Toriyama period.

He's probably referring to the Bardock special. Zarbon was the one who first recommended destroying Planet Vegeta because the saiyans were rapidly growing in strength.
It was actually Beerus disguised as Zarbon #StayWoke

Like with Freeza, where he starts off over 10 times stronger than all his henchmen except Ginyu (because...well, just because), then we find out he can transform and get even more powerful, and then he reveals he can transform two more times, before finally coming out with the fact that he hasn't even been using anywhere near 50% of his power. Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.

1st form Cell looks badass, 3rd form Freeza is just this weird gross Xenomorph knock-off that felt unnecessary.

I wouldn't say they're "disgusting" but more on the "ugly" side. Cell's 1st form was ugly but in a good way. He looks like an insect man which not far off from what you see in stuff like Kamen Rider and such. His second form was on the other hand was just plain ugly. Freeza's 3rd form is forgettable and the only thing memorable about it is the blatant knock off job.

Cell's first form. He looks like a giant bug. Freeza doesn't look disgusting at all to me. Well neither does Cell, but I guess his first form is "disgustier" than Freeza's third form.

Design-wise, I actually like 1st Form Cell because he looked like a scary insect monster and therefore seemed very threatening.

However, Cell 1st Form is probably more disgusting simply for that insect aspect alone... which looks less threatening with each transformation to be honest.
