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

To frame this more succinctly there is a faction of the fandom which truly believes: Toriyama = Good content. Non-Toriyama = bad content I fail to see how this is a problem. All things being equal, deferring to the creator is the least worrisome standard anyone can have as far as fiction goes. I wo...

Re: Do you dislike the Dragon Team vs Moro goons part of the arc?

It's kind of my favorite part of the arc, mostly because I've been waiting for these guys to get to do something for a while now. I can get it might not be the best written stuff, but it's fun.

Re: Awoken Skill Proposal for Xenoverse 2

I love this. One thing I would recommend is adding a demon clan subclass to Namekians, to give Demon King Piccolo based abilities. One thing I've often considered is sort of summon moves based off of Piccolo's minions and such. Maybe include some sort of hard to pull off reincarnation mechanic where...

Re: Favorite and least favorite couples?

RIP best ship: Yamcha and Bulma.

Worst ship? Probably like... Honestly, Goku and Chi-Chi. Their actual sweet relationship moments are few and far between.

Personally I didn't find Future Trunks and Mai at all weird, it was the present version that was highly sus.

Re: Does Toriyama's tendency to hold no characters sacred help the series in the long run?

I'd say there's two issues with that. One is that some characters being phased out doesn't feel quite so natural. I think Tenshinhan practically just giving up and excepting himself as one of the fodder characters is specifically out of character for him, but there are other smaller examples of a ch...

Re: "Dragon Ball XENOVERSE 2" Official Discussion Thread

What other stories do they have left to adapt for the game that are not from the Super manga? I guess they could do Trunks fight with Dabra and Babidi next. Everything pre-Raditz for one. I for one think it would be quite interesting to see early villains imbued with later series levels of power an...

Re: Dragon Ball: The Breakers (PS4/Switch/Xbox One/Steam)

Just a big fat no on this one. I don't even see a point to it. Plus they're using OG characters, but no King Piccolo, no RRA chasing Bulma and co? Why do this if you're just going to ignore everything else about the OG era? No running from Commander Blue or Major Metallitron. No escaping King Picco...

Re: Everything Wrong with Dragon Ball Super

The subpar animation and pacing is the only thing truly "wrong" with DBS (anime) The anime community in general is a bit hypocrite. If One punch man/Kimetsu no yaiba/ FMA brotherhood/ HxH had DBS level of animation, i bet ya people would run them to the ground instead of giving us the &qu...

Odd comparison, but I always found the Nolan Batman trilogy VASTLY overrated. Begins is meh. Dark Knight is pretty good. Rises is terrible.

Personally not on board with the idea of "They've handled this classic character poorly so they should get rid of them". The just need to DO BETTER and stop humiliating the old cast. I'm not going to pick any minor characters like Goten, Chi Chi or any of the Tournament of Power nobodies b...

Re: Is Goku a hero in Super?

Even characters like that had motivations and things to fight for. Goku in Super doesn't really care about anything or anyone if it doesn't amuse his battle obsession . He's by no means heroic in Super. That is patently false. Goku on several occasions in Super has shown empathy to others, or at le...

Re: Is Goku a hero in Super?

DBS's version is not a hero in any modern understanding of the term. But he can be classed a hero like Achilles from Greek myth. Just a ridiculously OP warrior the story's about who's venerated by his peers. Even characters like that had motivations and things to fight for. Goku in Super doesn't re...

She would have been great if she had only ACTUALLY BEEN A STRONG FIGHTER. All she does is get thrown around by universe 7's team a bit, not even forcing Goku or Vegeta to use ssj. Then in her final episode she transforms and literally gets one-shotted out. She was an overhyped time-waster. AND she ...

Re: What about Super disservice with characters like Goten, Trunks and Yamcha?

Yamcha is my favorite character and I despise how they've meme-ified him, but a thing I've noticed is at least people generally seem to agree that Yamcha deserved a spot on the universe 7 team. Poor fucking Buu though! I feel like I'm one of the only ones who even cares how badly he's shafted. Most ...

Re: What, IYO, is Super's greatest achievement and detriment in its whole run.

Greatest, and probably only achievement: The introduction of some interesting new characters, most notably, Hit. Biggest Detriment? Easy: Squandering almost EVERY option to utilize their massive cast, including shafting even the new characters like Hit. Instead, the flanderized, boring, and overpowe...

Hit's final stand against Jiren was not impressive. Maybe if he had ANY lasting effects on Jiren it could have been but nope. Hit's strategy could have been the reason Jiren was out of commission for so long afterward, but no. Jiren just breaks time for some bullshit reason and is only out of commis...

There's only three episodes left. Even if by some miracle those episodes are the greatest things ever, that won't change the fact that I hated a vast majority of the show.
