Re: DB/Western Comics crossover?
Hell, I'd even take the early DB, pre-Roshi training gang running into the Idyllic Valley that Fone Bone, Phoney Bone, and Smiley Bone find themselves lost in upon their exile from Boneville. Bulma and Thorn would make a hilarious contrast, especially if you added Grandma Rose. Journey to the West w...

Re: DB/Western Comics crossover?
It's a shame that this is mostly about WHO FIGHTS WHO because there're so many awesome possible stories. Especially if you go outside the big two superhero comics companies, but even within those realms: Bardock story about the Saiyans doing a raid on Brainiac's planet samples.

Re: DB/Western Comics crossover?
Hack/Slash Meets Cell, written by Tim Seeley, is the only logical answer.

Re: Wishing Back the Saiyans
The Saiyans are really boring. They're fine as villains of an arc or whatever, but they're so paper thin that they can't actually sustain a wider mythology.

Re: Shonen Jump readers vote DB as the...
Why are you posting on a Dragonball forum then? It's a comic meant for children and insulting to read as an adult since it's mostly toilet humor about LOL BULMA IS A GIRL AND GIRLS HAVE PARTS I DON'T and farting. Dragonball has, for the most part, no higher pretensions other than being goofy comedy...

Re: Official On-Going DBZ 2015 Movie Thread
I like that this Freeza concern was brought up as if it was a concern at all and not just completely frivolous worry-warting because fandoms always immediately assume the worst as a baseline response to literally anything.

Re: Official On-Going DBZ 2015 Movie Thread
The whole 3D gimmick as a whole in my opinion is just bullshit and something film executes and studios thrown in just to make more mony. Films rarely uses 3D well. The only films in my opinion that improved in quality using 3D were Jurassic Park, Gravity and Avatar.. So you think 3D is bullshit, bu...

Re: Shonen Jump readers vote DB as the...
I suppose it's my fault for expecting the masses to be even half-way critical in their selection. The masses picking something over the other doesn't mean they aren't critical. Also Naruto has a villain who thinks life is pain, calls himself Pain, and dresses like he's lost on the way to a Green Da...

It didn't go downhill. It continued down the same path established during the Pain arc and even began to harken back to its mythological roots. The series matured through the themes it tackled The show went from the Land of Waves showing the harsh realities of war to the Chuunin Exam having Rock Le...

And calling Death Note well written is a bit of a stretch, too. It's a philosophical comic about debating morality...but written for eight year olds. The fact it's incredibly basic isn't a hurt against it thanks to its demographic, but at the same time just being a bare minimum introduction to moral...

It's because canon as a concept is inherently subjective but nobody who cares a lot about canon here is actually well read enough to understand what this really basic word actually means.Bussani wrote:For some reason, everyone has their own definition of the word "canon".

Re: Broli: A Character Discussion in Fandom Context
Broly is arguably stupid because his story is more grandiose in presentation but not really any more or less meaningful than any other random Z villain. He's overindulgence to express the same basic idea as any other character.
It makes his "subtlety" annoying and stupid.

This subtlety We're grading on a curve, right? Genuine question. Dragon Ball movies basically have no subtlety or stuff that requires some interpretation.

He's an asshole, but he's an asshole in more varied, intelligent, and creative (not to mention funny) ways than the last two main assholes. Doesn't matter to me when Fat Buu was way better. He was the PERFECT villain to end everything on. The transformations always disappointed me. I don't get it. ...
