The Narration Is Fast

Post by Lupin879 » Thu Feb 09, 2017 4:12 am

I think the cartoon is not following good storytelling. Just to say, the idea of ​​universes was great, this could promises endless stories. But already with the tournament, everything was ruined. I think the whole thing would have been better if they had created so many sagas, long, each one that explored a universe and its history, even sagas that explained the history of both mortals and immortals in the regular universe. If they throw you all the best of universes, you do not think that this is like having a huge narrative treasure and make the tournament is soon burn everything?

Another worrying thing is the too small number of episodes of the stories. To say
Beerus 12 episodes
Frieza 12 episodes
Tournament 14 episodes
Black 20 episodes

Dragon Ball Z Frieza 90 episodes as well as an average of 90 all other stories.

Ie all Super is less that the only story of Frieza.

Uh, what? Most likely the Universes will not all be destroyed.

They didn't go out of their way to create 10+ new Gods of Destruction just to get rid of them all quickly.

The best paced arc is the Destruction God Champa arc. It had concise narrative points and didn't stretch events out too terribly much. A story arc doesn't need to be ninety-honest-to-God-episodes long. Thirteen episodes is plenty, especially if your production isn't a complete mess.

Yeah, they like to rush through the arcs as fast as they can as they gotta go and focus on other important matters like finding ways to ruin the power scaling even more..

There's no need to rush so hard even if they have the full story with them and don't need to add fillers to buy time, sometimes stretching out the story a bit is much better..

I don't like these super speed express fights arcs either, it does seem like they are trying to stretch it out this arc though

The Zamasu story will led us to other problems in the future because of Goku's big mistake just like Future Trunks did it will have a connection..To me that's
really important for a story maybe the other gods & angels will give Goku the fault because he wanted he tournament

18-25 episodes are normal for an arc and i don't want to see dragging arc's to long and we don't know what will happen in this arc so calm down a little bit

I would love it if this new arc lasts for 40+ episodes. If course it must be full of entertaining episodes. Like Future Trunks Arc, I wouldn't have minded it if it lasted 10 more episodes, especially the battle with Merged Zamasu which was way too fast.

Certain parts of Super could benefit from being maybe just a little longer. But If they ever have a 90+ episode arc then it better be damn interesting most of the way through and not just 8 episodes of stare downs and yelling with very little progress in an episodes story every time someone fights. I would be a very grumpy boo otherwise.

That is counting filler. The Kai version is about 55 episodes, still a lot, but not as much as Z.

That is an aspect of dbz I like, the intense stare downs and Powerups were epic..

I disagree, the two episodes he had was sufficient. A lot of time the final boss battle ends up getting stretched and thus loses the appeal and becomes boring. For example the Freeza arc, that final battle still gets routinely mocked to this day the whole infamous 5 minutes thing etc. Merged Zamasu actually felt like a proper final boss they didn't needlessly stretch him out, like back in the Freeza arc you had all sorts of BS stretching the fight like Freeza saying he was only using 10% of his true power or him not using his hands, it took a while for that final fight to pick up and then stalled again and then picked up again. With Merged Zamasu his threat level was high from the start and it stayed that way. I would take that anyday of the week then it being boringly streched out over 5 or 6 episodes.

Epic if done at a reasonable pace. If they want to stare down and power up, then it's cool for,like, 20 seconds. At most. I don't want it done for an entire episode let alone multiple episodes. I would just find that boring and frustrating.

Did you mean to say "Narrative"? "Narration is pretty odd.
