Re: Do you think Toei botched Jiren?
I assume it was Toriyama who botched him by inventing him to begin with. Even it the manga so far he just seems like a generic, "I'm so badass. Look at my big power level" type of character.

Re: Universe 4 and Chekhov's Gun
I think the ToP has been following less the rules of fiction and more the messiness and inconclusiveness of how real life works. People wish all plot threads introduced in real life went somewhere and everything tied up neatly in a bow all satisfying. That's why some people like fiction because the...

Re: Do you expect Hit to be a low-key character as Super progresses?
If this truly was the last we'll see of Hit being a badass than DBS is even worse than I thought prior. He's by far the most popular and interesting new character from DBS and if he doesn't matter then what the hell does matter? If every new character is just reduced to a new stepping stone for Goku...

Re: What Origin movies would you want to see
Could you elaborate? Because the only part we haven't seen much of regarding that thus far would be his life with Grandpa Gohan, and to be honest, I can't imagine that being anything more than mundane.TheUltimateNinja wrote:I'd like to see Goku's origin story.

Young Roshi. It'd be the story of how his rivalry with the crane hermit began.

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Official Announcement & Discussion Thread
You can't really use the 'Yamcha' Manga as something that suggests Yamcha is popular (Though I wouldn't be surprised if Yamcha was); it's a story that is only about Yamcha in name. Well...you can. It`s a story about his whole legacy, the good and bad and particularly the connection with the fanbase...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Official Announcement & Discussion Thread
Most meaning a majority, but not all. And there is such a thing called 'Death of the Author'. I despise that term as it's pretty much just a fancy way of saying "I don't care about the author's original intention or opinions. We, the fans, decide where, what and how...." and it just feeds...

Re: Super Episode 119 (10 December 2017)
This episode basically represents everything wrong with this arc. Wasted characters, bad pacing, unfitting tone, setting up things and then not doing anything with them, not providing much of a reason to give a shit about anything that's happening in general, the whole thing really. The only problem...

Re: What would you rate DBS out of 10?
Never been a big fan of using number ratings, so I'll give it a "I feel like an abuse victim who keeps going back anyway" out of ten.

Re: Super Episode 118 (3 December 2017)
Loved the Kami and Nail scene, loved Piccolo and Gohan's fantastic fight and win, but honestly wish we had more of this fight instead of the universe 2 stuff. They should have made that it's own episode because as-is, it feels like two separate episodes blended together. That being said, I liked uni...

Re: Super Episode 118 (3 December 2017)
The universe 6 namekians were really cool, which only makes me angrier that while the shitty universe 6 female saiyans got about 6 whole damn episodes, these guys who should have been major threats given all the Namekians they fused with (and would have been an even greater threat if Champa gave THE...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Official Announcement & Discussion Thread
A wish on the Dragon Balls? Why not just have the non-Saiyan characters actually be given the same opportunities as the Saiyans, Toriyama? They're in that meagre condition because you facilitated it by withholding tools and avenues for improving themselves after the Freeza arc. I'm not denying that...

Re: Why are 5/8 universes total fodder?
You might as well just say "characters now are older than they were in the King Piccolo Saga". That's not even close to what he said, and not relevant either. That's fine if you don't care about power scaling, but it is a thing in this show and it stretches beyond just numbers in a way th...

Re: Tournament of Power Eliminations
How? It turned him from a hero of hope into a failure who literally left crying to a timeline that despite being similar he will always know is not his own. Because despite everything Trunks been thought, he still decide to keep hope and try to rebuild from his lost instead of moping about it. Keep...

Re: Tournament of Power Eliminations
So as I expected it's because it's "different". Thing is, Trunks shouldn't have been involved in such an ending. If anyone should have lasting consequences for their actions it's Goku. Trunks already had his fantastic ending in Z and shouldn't have been brought back just to completely und...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Official Announcement & Discussion Thread
Killing won't really bring anything to the tournament now. Yeah true, Cauliflowa is already out.. A lot of the eliminations have been killing moves to me. The big kamehameha to the face of Kefla surprisingly didn't kill her. And then there's things like Krillin firing kienzans and Piccolo shooting ...

I would like to talk to them to see why they like it. I don't what to change their minds but it will be interesting to learn what people like. No, I'm not kidding. I'm dead serious.
