It's just a fancy title, nothing more. Outside of being linked to the balls he doesn't offer much else aside from healing.
Well, apart from that I think maybe "Guardian of the Lookout" would be more appropriate.

-Yamcha should've joined the Tournament instead of Roshi

- The U6 Saiyans achieved SSJ to easily

-Tenshinhan and Roshi are being wasted so far in this tournament

-Sumitomo's score is not good, but it's not bad either

- The only good Super endings are 2, 4 and 6.

- I would've rather had movies every few years than an new entire show.

I don't think any of these are unpopular at all, they're the norm, if anything. People have been misusing this thread recently.

Really? From my experience people are LOVING Roshi making a comeback. The U6 SSJ thing seems to be split. I haven't seen Ten and Roshi's performance talked about that much. I also see people TRASHING Sumitomo. I've never heard anyone say they would've preferred movies, they usually just say they don't like Super. But hey, confirmation bias and stuff....

I honestly don't mind the way Goku is portrayed in Super other than moment's when they take his stupidity a bit to far(Beerus in Monaca suit).
I mean two of Goku's biggest traits have always been he is a bit selfish and he doesn't think about the consequences of his actions.
He's still serious In battle like he's always been, Super just has a lot of peace time in comparison to Z
He's not perfect, but I'd take it over Toei movie Goku

He's more childlike than manly in that he can be a bit selfish and doesn't think about the consequences very often. Some people want complete realism in a show like Dragon Ball and Large muscles and a high pitch voice don't go together to them.

It is unpopular. Personally, I'd like to see him as either Vegeta, Frieza or Piccolo, although it's unlikely that'll ever happen.

Yeah, from all the roles I've heard Blum do, he does not sound like he would fit Goku.

Steve Blum voicing Goku is like Peter Cullen voicing Bumblebee. Just a strange casting choice.

The only characters I think his voice would fit as of right now are Hit and maybe Jiren. Might be typecasting but he's really well suited for the "Cool Customer" type.

I'm not sure how unpopular this is, but I've really come to love Hit's English voice in Xenoverse 2.

The better term is "Badass" type IMO.

I'd say Blum would be typecasted as the 'Grizzled, old guy/Psychotic Announcer' character

Super would have benefited by following Toriyama's modern art style seen in such as the Battle of Gods movie poster. I really like what I could see from the 4D Broly movie as I think its mixing both the modern and the old.

If Steve Blum did something like his Orochimaru but less-snake like, he could pull off Freeza.

Piccolo is the most boring fucking character I have ever witnessed.

That one is sure to rile everyone up around here. And you know what's even worse? I think that the most interesting thing about him is Chris Sabat's voice performance, especially in modern stuff. At least playing up the 'demon' aspect of the character is something interesting. But in all other versions, Piccolo has nothing. What is he? The stern stoic guy? Naw, Ten does that so much better. Is he supposed to be the badass? He doesn't even touch Vegeta in that respect. Is he like, super wise? People always say that and I do not see it in the actual story.

He had a great character arc, don't get me wrong. But this just goes to show that character development and depth are no substitutes for having an interesting personality. That should always come first. And Piccolo does not.

Imagine if he wasn't green, and he was just a human, but kept the same look and personality. Would he be anywhere near as popular?

Scott McNeil and Carlos Segundo are much much much better than Sabat at making Piccolo sound demonic and interesting.

And Furukawa as well. Sabat's a good actor, but you just can't beat Furukawa.

There are only a couple of cases where I prefer the dub actor to the Japanese, and Piccolo is one of them. Furukawa is obviously beloved here on Kanzenshuu, but I just don't get it. I mean, I can tell he's a fine actor, but he doesn't sound like a demon, or even just some alien from a far-off planet. He just sounds like some guy. He'd have been better suited to play Kuririn or something.

Not really, Furukawa gives piccolo that raw Alien touch I mean compare it to his other humanly roles and its just that Furukawa's voice of piccolo is more smooth than Scott or Sabat but still he doesn't really sound like a normal guy. I mean try watching his Fight Against Son Gokū in 23rd Tenkaichi Tournament and just listen to that sinister Demon laugh and screams of him,no dub actor comes close.
I prefer Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, DB/Z/GT Movies, Dragon Ball Super and Dragon Ball GT in Japanese.
For DBZ Kai and two new Movies I like both Dub and Sub. I Prefer Shunsuke Kikuchi Soundtracks over All other Composers.

I don't see how Furukawa's Piccolo sounds like a normal guy. He's one of the best casting choices in the show.
