Re: DBZ Movie?

Evolution is a perfectly serviceable bad movie you'd stumble on at like 4 AM on TNT or something. It's hardly the offensive affront people act like it is. I agree. I was let down after the years of hype, but it makes for a great bad movie night. I'll be watching it for years to come. It's honestly ...

Re: What was Freeza's purpose on keeping Nappa and Raditz?

BUT... why keep freaking Raditz? You can basically plant minions that would be of similar power. If your logic is "He can just make more Raditzes", then keeping Raditz means he gets another Raditz. Your quantification argument works against itself, even if it's only ONE more. That's still...

Re: Anyone else think Vegeta was too easily forgiven by the

Aside from executing all of their enemies, there's really nothing anyone in Dragon World can do besides bring out the good in people and eventually forgive them. I mean, do you think Police Office Kuririn is just gonna stroll on by and put some handcuffs on Vegeta and escort him to jail to await tr...

Re: DBZ Movie?

I think the next DB movie from Hollywood will be more darker and serious. I want it to be a really intense, dour apocalyptic kung fu movie stressing the genocide of Planet Namek as Goku and Freeza fight in the growing hellscape of the dying world. And then the obligatory Marvel movie-era after cred...

Re: Is Bulma's age 38 or 45 during BoG?

Which is dumb. Battle of Gods is set somewhere between the end of the Buu arc and the final story in Z. Bulma is 38 when Battle of Gods takes place because that's how old she is. It doesn't matter how old she should or shouldn't be, she's 38 (or whatever age she is, because I don't really care). Bes...

Re: Uub - Wasted Potential or Uninteresting

Uub as Ma Junior by way of Gohan is actually kind of a neat idea.

I mean, how well it'd actually be executed is a whole 'nother debate, but there're worse ways to lift old ideas.

Re: Is Bulma's age 38 or 45 during BoG?

The question was "Is Bulma's age 38 or 45"? The answer was "45, BOG was wrong". If you want an in-universe answer for why BOG made a mistake, here's one: BOG is set in a different continuity. Literary works with more prestige and higher quality than Dragonball have inconsistenci...

His skin color makes HIM interesting? Yep, considering there are so many bland, uninteresting characters in the Dragon Ball world. I feel like "reincarnation of a psycho hell demon" is a little more interesting, and less condescending, than "the brown one." Like, really. Saying ...

Re: Why you really did not like Dragon Ball GT/parts of it

Yes, the DB and DBZ anime and manga do rehash things but GT rehash things worst in my opinion. The Sigma Force is just a poor man's version of the Ginyu Force that it's not even funny Doing a tokusatsu parody twice is not nearly as bad as "Let me get more and more blonde hair for bigger lasers...

Which is a fair point but I'm super into Dragonball Z and have a passing familiarity with copyright law as an abstract concept, so you're wrong.

That has already been discussed. Discussed incorrectly. It's a "parody" wherein unlicensed intellectual property IS the bulk of said property. If they did their own DBZ animations, or sketches, or whatever, that'd be one thing. Fair Use constitutes stuff like using footage as the piece of...
