Re: Dragon Ball Z 4:3 Steelbooks
There's really not much of a point in arguing with any of you about the aspect ratio. It's not nearly as bad as I constantly see people crying about (often exaggerating to the point where they're claiming it's "unwatchable," which it objectively isn't), which is all my original point reall...

Re: Dragon Ball Z 4:3 Steelbooks
It makes me wonder how some of you older fans ever managed to cope back when VHS and DVD releases had Widescreen and Fullscreen versions available. Like, if your parents had gotten you Batman or Star Wars in Fullscreen instead of Widescreen, did you or would you have thrown a fit? Except DBZ was cr...

Re: Time capsule
Dang, that sucks! I always wanted to do one but never got around to even trying. I did have a Trunks figure fall behind a bookshelf and years later when we moved the bookshelf Trunks wasnt there :O More than you realize, because that Sapphire copy had a bunch of rare Pokemon he'd collected through ...

Re: Time capsule

Unfortunately he didn't bury it very deep... or in a ...

Re: Dragon Ball Z 4:3 Steelbooks
While it'd be nice to get Dragon Box blurays at a reasonable price, I've never understood the claims that any of the DBZ remasters are "unwatchable." Sure, they aren't 1:1 representative of what you'd have seen on a TV screen in Japan back in the 90s, but having the vibrancy of the colors ...

Re: Things that grind your gears
I haven’t seen any Broly fans say that in years though I still see it almost every time Broly or DBZ is brought up in a Vs Thead. Not so much on this forum, but in other places fans gather to discuss DBZ and cross-franchise fights. That's not even mentioning the articles online that still perpetuat...

Re: Unwatched Movies/Specials
The only movies/specials I haven't seen are the OG DB ones or Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans. Watch the 90's version first...I mean Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans..the latest version is so-so 90's version packs a punch, despite some cringe moments. I enjoyed it, havin watched it over 6 years ago🤣 I'v...

Re: Things that grind your gears
Ayt so you will hate on me because I am a fan of Broly Z... I mean why not, hating is so free ~ Eh, my problem is more with his fans that take the dub line that his power is constantly growing as law and argue with everyone that he can beat literally anyone in the franchise or in any work of fictio...

Re: Things that grind your gears
Agreed. I've hated Broly way before the Super movie came out. When I learned the new movie was about Broly, I was like "Seriously? You're bringing Broly back instead of coming up with a new villain?". I had the same reaction up until I actually saw the new movie and found myself enjoying ...

Re: Things that grind your gears
People who use the new Broly movie as a means to shit over the original Broly or his movie. These people who never cared about Broly until now cannot merely enjoy their new movie. No, they have to go out of their way to use it to shit on the original as if this newer one is a modern marvel in terms...

Re: Endings
I don't know...maybe because they like the character? The word name brand recognition was used, I don't know how you couldn't put two and two together. That's kind of my point; people didn't just tune in to see the same premise as the film in TV version, they wanted more interesting stories involvi...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
That's a very bold claim and I respect that when you decide to be wrong you go balls to the wall with it I'll back track on the Tien statement, because I'm sure there's at least one person who somehow made an emotional bond with him over the course of his arc, but he got sidelined immediately by Ki...

Re: Endings
Or, I dunno, it was a popular movie so of course it would gather interest based on name brand recognition and not because there was an actual need or desire to explore Bueller's world and life? The closest we've seen to what you want is Dragon Ball Heroes. Which is hot garbage so... Why tune in to ...

Re: Endings
It's called Ferris Beuller's Day Off. <snip> The premise doesn't lend itself more than a single story. Right, but the "Ferris Beuller" part is all that's necessary to make a series of stories in a Ferris Beuller franchise. The fact that the show, despite not being a sequel to the film, go...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Context isn't the same as emotional attachment. Yeah, we know what happened before, but we won't feel it since we don't have that experience. Anyone who legit claims they had some deep emotional attachment to Tien and Chiaotzu is flat out lying. Likewise, Yamcha had always been the guy to get his a...

Re: What do you want with Broly?
Nothing, but then you're in the realm of satire and deconstruction, as opposed to superheroes. You realize that satire and deconstruction of a genre or franchise isn't inherently a bad thing, nor does it separate them from their respective genres or franchises, right? Hell, branching into satire an...

Re: What do you want with Broly?
Virtually any premise that leans into the realm of fantasy is inherently silly once you stop to think about it. It's not that it's goofy them dressing up in costume, though that's certainly the case, it's that it paints the world as far more simplistic than it truly is. Oh if only we had some reall...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Hard disagree on Yamcha and Chiaotzu's deaths not carrying any emotional weight. Yamcha was involved in Dragon Ball from the beginning chapters, has built a relationship with the main cast, particularly with Bulma, and his death in the Saiyan arc was originally a huge shock. And the anime actually ...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I never insinuated that Dragon Ball is a complex or intertwined story. I'm just saying that character and story beats that are the most famous from Dragon Ball Z don't carry a lot of emotional weight when you ignore the foundation that was provided for them in the events that take place before the ...
