Honestly, I don't know of any open online community that can discuss matters like that without it eventually being a mess. The ones where it kinda works are extremely patrolled by mods. So, I don't think this is a negative sign of the Kanzenshuu community per se.Zephyr wrote: There was a feminism topic that went south roughly a week before the LGBT one was started. I'm not sure what gave the impression that opening up another sensitive topic so soon would go over remotely well, nor why it took multiple political threads going south to give the impression that our user base here lacks the ability to discuss these matters level-headedly.

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions
A conversation Goku should have had with Chichi:
"Chichi, why does Gohan need to be a scholar?
He has incredible powers that could be a great asset in employment. People could pay him just to put on shows, and imagine the use his strength would have in construction or power stations. He'd be in high demand, and since almost no one is that powerful, he's scarce too. I read a book on basic economics that says this means he would be able to demand high compensation. Also, what about law enforcement? That's a great job for a martial artist as powerful as our son. He'd be like his own special force in one guy, so he'd make a good living! Hell, I mean hfil, he would become a celebrity as soon as he revealed what he could do. He could do speaking tours, write books, or star in action movies and be his own stuntman, no special effects needed. There's nothing to worry about. Gohan's gonna be alright."

Actually, Scott's accent for Jeice is a Brummie accent.TheGreatness25 wrote:Here's a non-thread-worthy observation.
I'm watching the old Ocean cast dub and noticed something. I always thought that Jheese had an Australian accent in the dub; he certainly does when Funimation's in-house dub team took over. But really, originally, his accent is more Scottish.
Oh and on a funny note, since I'm on this subject anyway. It's pretty funny that there's a scene where Butta tells the rest of them that it looks like Ghurdo is going to lose and Jheese mocks him for making such an obvious observation. Reacoom steps in and says that he'll take that bet and he bets a chocolate nut bar that Ghurdo will win. Well, Ghurdo does his mind freeze on Gohan and Kuririn and being confident that Ghurdo will win now, Butta requests the nut bar from Reacoom because he won the bet. Basically, Reacoom bet on Ghurdo but when Ghurdo won, they made it seem like he bet against him.

Does Zamasu and Gowasu traveling a thousand years into the future spoil the ending of the Universal Survival Arc? Or is there anything else going on in regards to the Time Rings? I kind of forgot what happened in that episode besides the very basic details.
Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions
The answer would basically be "Because he wants to". It's not Chi-Chi who's making him get a scholarship. It's the whole point of the character. Amazing potential, but reluctant fighter. Sure, he displays a certain amount of fondness for fighting, but his true passion is being a scholar... And in his teenage years, a superhero.Regarder wrote:A conversation Goku should have had with Chichi:

Chichi was pushing him towards that and forbidding Goku from even training him well before Gohan was even 4 years old. The fact that Gohan actually wants to be a scholar out of his free will isn't even apparent before he's well into his teens.Draconic wrote: The answer would basically be "Because he wants to".

Ya' know, re-watching Goku bite Whis's hand and Whis reacting to that doesn't make Goku being scratched by a bullet or being penetrated by Sorbet's beam ridiculous as I thought it was.

Pretty much. Hollywood completely missed the point of something as thematically straightforward as Death Note and this wasn't a low-budget attempt like DBE either.ABED wrote:Because you are more convinced than ever that we'll never get a good adaptation of a manga/anime from Hollywood?Doctor. wrote:Just watched the new Death Note and now I want a new live action Dragon Ball movie even LESS than before.

I feel similar about series revivals. I've seen a number of them and most of them have been disappointing.

I don't get what's with DC using celebrity voice actors for their movies. The New 52 casting choices are so bland.ekrolo2 wrote:Someone else likes O'Mara?!

THe reason I have nostalgia for Conroy is because he was that good. Greenwood is awful. He's a good actor, but not a good Batman. He's one step above Bale's Batman voice. And why do so many dislike O'Mara? He's way better Greenwood who was doing his damnedest to sound gruff and he's also too old for the role.Conroy has never been THAT good as fans say. It's all from nostalgia. Greenwood and Weller have gave the best Batman voice performances in UtR and TDKR. Conroy is definitely better than that O'mara chap that WB are using for the animated movies though.
Now you all are making me really want to hear Ayres as The Joker, even if it's just a short clip on Youtube.

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions
Don't why so many people are surprised by the DN netlfix film. Right from the production I'm pretty sure it was known it wasn't gonna be faithful.
Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions
Anime & manga adaptation standards are a bit different since the expecation there is to stick close to the source material which is why I can, up to a point, get why people are annoyed it wasn't just another page for page translation. It's not like with American comics where multiverses and alternate stakes are the norm and I want to wring the neck of every asshole who spews "NOT FAITHFUL TO THE SOURCE MATERIAL!" about anything and everything with their vast knowledge of 5 Batman TAS episodes.Baggie_Saiyan wrote:Don't why so many people are surprised by the DN netlfix film.

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.
