Re: Why is "new" mainline Dragon Ball so stuck in the past?
I honestly think It's telling a timeless tale. Something no anime/manga is capable of, these days. Dragon Ball is "The Legend". The Forerunner isn't stuck in the past; it's timeless... The crowds of people in Latin America gathered in public squares to watch Goku and Jiren do battle answer...

Re: How would you prevent characters from reviving?
I don't care about the characters staying dead, anymore. I've come to accept that's not the story the franchise is trying to tell. And that's okay.

Re: Anyone find it odd that Goku and Vegeta are just ok with Frieza running wild?
Vegeta isn't okay with it and it's a primary motivation for his training. It's stated in the new Broly film, and the beginning of the new Great Saiyaman chapters.
Frieza also mentions he no longer wants immortality in the Broly film, too.

Re: Do you wish Dragon Ball had more diverse powers?
Lord, No . Just fight. I think that's a major reason why it's still so successful. I don't wanna see boxers have different powers and spend half their time explaining it, instead of boxing. And what do you know, boxing events rank higher than every other event on PPV. That includes Wrestlemania (wit...

Re: Do you like Super?
Yeah, I agree. Commercial art is a cash grab. Commercial art can also be good , but Dragon Ball (entire franchise and the 1984 comic series specifically) has a ton of easy to fix flaws that a good writer and/or editor should've caught, not exasperated and pushed even further . I actually don't have...

Re: Do you like Super?
Dragon Ball was always a cash-grab, so I'm not seeing a difference here, especially when you want to compare it to Star Wars and Marvel of all things. If it's always been a cash-grab, so has everything else successful. Like other mega-franchises, it's become too obvious. BoG was an honest attempt, ...

Re: Do you like Super?
I do. But not enough to rewatch it, besides the highlights on YT and the films. The big thing that affects Super is, I know how much the franchise makes. And it makes too much to still be undergoing these run-of-the-mill industry-anime antics. The manga is a slightly different. The art is great, Sup...

Re: What makes the handling Dragon Ball different from other franchises that failed to catch on worldwide?
I think it largely comes down, even to this day, to its constant fighting and unique art style. Let's be honest. Most anime/manga go ~50/50 on visuals and writing. Dragon Ball goes far beyond on the visuals. Animating a fight scene or drawing a fight scene is much more work than anything in those fi...

Re: Why is Toei so obsessed in making Goku dumb in DBS and DBS movies
How many people actively praise Goku's dumber characterisation, though? Is this really something that fans around the world hanker for out of their Dragon Ball media, or is it just a peripheral element that people grin and bear through to get to the more appealing aspects of Goku's character (e.g. ...

Re: Moro arc vs Granolah arc
I think it's tied. I think the Moro Arc was consistently better. But Granolah's highs blew Moro's away. I was never bored with Moro, but at times a little bored with Granolah. But the Granolah manga actually had DB highly trending on Twitter multiple times. I think this evens things out.... Honestly...

Re: DBS Anime Future
I still believe that the anime taking so long to comeback mostly stems from the games, toys and everything else easily being able to carry the franchise. That said, I still do think its return is inevitable, I just hope the quality reflects that it's one of the biggest fictional franchises in the wo...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I don't think it's the staredowns or talking that hurts the pacing of the fights, it's the endless cutaways to whatever other characters outside of the battle are doing. And adding to the lore won't help the stories. See my previous post. More information won't add much value to Dragon Ball. What t...

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh... that's just utter fanfiction on your part. I dont see GT doing anything with any old elements of Dragon Ball other than the Road Trip feel of the first arc. Huh? 1. They went on a trip to find the Dragon Balls. Like the original series. 2. Saiyan's past transgressions lead to ...
