Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 89 - Official Discussion Thread

So this new arc is fun and all, but... um... Mai is a pedophile. They're still ignoring the fact that she's an old woman, only now she's attracted to teenagers too.

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"

Reusing Cell's design for a lame mindless kaiju that had nothing to do with Cell just because this was a movie starring Gohan felt unnecessary and uninspired. The whole execution was just so bad. No PTSD from Gohan or anything from seeing "Cell." They did nothing with it. Hirudegarn was so...

Re: What is the lamest thing to come out of modern DBZ?

The difficulty in make Gohan character work in a way without appealing to nostalgia. We don't need adult Gohan to look like his Cell Games self because average fans think he should be like that forever. We want actual development for a character to feel more like himself and not another version of ...

Some mad lad has actually uploaded the whole film (no subs) to YouTube in 4 parts with decent enough quality. Of course I won't post the link here but have at it while you can and of course support the official release. Can't wait to see this properly in theaters, there's a lot of dialogue and it s...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"

I can't for the life of me see this movie doing numbers anywhere near those of BoG, RF, or Broly. The first one was the first new official DBZ story in like a decade, and had the hype of being created by Toriyama. RF followed up on that hype and reintroduced Frieza. Broly featured hugely popular fan...

Re: Is anyone annoyed that the revival happened?

No, because there's no official canon, so you can just escape into your happy place and pretend DB ended with the original manga if you hate the new stuff. In the meantime, there's a whole new generation of fans that have been introduced or reintroduced into the franchise thanks to Super. Personally...

Re: When should Pan get Super Saiyan?

Never. She's Gohan's daughter. Let her inherit his ultimate form.

Though this would make more sense pre-Super since Gohan's hidden powers / potential have been relegated to generic saiyan traits.

Re: Has the franchise become too reliant on transformations?

The franchise jumped the shark by the Buu saga by making SSJ1 a joke kids can learn and making SSJ2 a form accessible to any saiyan not named Gohan. Don't get me started on SSJ3, Ultimate Gohan, and fusions. At the very least, most of those forms were associated in some way to the saiyan lore. SS1, ...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread

I wish this was the last new saiyan transformation ever. They were already out of hand by the Buu arc. This is ridiculous.

But I guess it's all about merchandise sales. I miss an emphasis on technique, which is what ultra instinct and destruction power should be. Omen almost nailed it.

Re: What could the Oracle Fish be forseeing?

Something I learned since the Goku Black arc is to not overthink any mystery in this series. It's usually exactly what you expect. In this case, it's the Granola Bar turning into a Protein Bar.

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread

Wow, they really dropped the ball by not making the shape of Goku's giant avatar form a giant ape instead.

I have a feeling that if the anime ever returns, this arc will be skipped entirely and we'll finally reach EoZ. Vegeta's new abilities will probably be non-canon in the anime too.

One very big pet peeve of mine is the entire existence of Xeno Goku. Such a horrible concept. Why couldn't they just make him GT Goku so we could have a proper crossover?

Re: What would a reboot have to do in order to comply to today's standards?

I wouldn't mind them toning it down. Super's depiction of Roshi's perversion was quite exaggerated. I wouldn't want them canceling Master Roshi altogether though. Just no physical assaulting, and I'm good. But sexual harassment of women is okay if it's just verbal or asking for physical? What? I me...

Re: What would a reboot have to do in order to comply to today's standards?

A reboot shouldn't change anything to comply with today's standards. Rather, it should just emphasize less on certain things. For example, Master Roshi should still be a borderline-predator/pervert, but that shouldn't be the trait that's accentuated. Master Roshi is at his best when he's the Yoda of...

Re: Why Battle of Gods will always be THE BEST Dragon Ball Movie EVER!

I don't consider it the best, or even top 3 for that matter, but I do give it credit for expanding the lore, introducing some great characters, and reviving the franchise. It's arguably the most influential DB movie within the series.
