Re: Another live action thread (yes, I know)

Under what metric? What metric could exist for such a thing? It's not like there's a review system for acting by nationality. It's just from observation and experience. Just like there's a huge anime fanbase there's also one for live action dramas and it's pretty unanimous that Japanese are quite i...

Re: Another live action thread (yes, I know)

Someone who is a big enough of a weeb to name themselves after a Japanese video game character making racist statements against Japanese people is in fact ironic. Yet again that's not actually what irony means. You're more bothered by being offended over something than actually making sense. Having...

Re: Another live action thread (yes, I know)

True. You for example ain't good at using your brain cells. We all got flaws. :thumbup: And yours is getting offended on other people's behalf apparently. Nobody said everything is racist just that your statement was racist. If they're poor actors then they're poor actors. I know. I was going to po...

Re: Another live action thread (yes, I know)

Have you watched any live action Japanese show or movies that wasn't live action anime or a kids Tokusatsu super hero series like Kamen Rider or Super Sentai? I've never seen any Tokusatsu shows, though again the clips I have seen show as much again. Your statement is racist and almost definitely b...

Re: Another live action thread (yes, I know)

I haven’t watched the live action Yu Yu Hakusho, but if the actors are overacting as if they’re anime characters, that’s because that was the direction they were given, not because they’re incapable of handling subtlety. Its not from all the actors in the show so I don't think it was what they were...

Re: Another live action thread (yes, I know)

So strange, indeed, that it's actually just kind of a racist lie. No it's actually well known. They are terrible actors in general. Not all obviously but largely yes. It's all over Google about it too. Something maybe to do with their style perhaps but they always come across as over exaggerated an...

It could actually work. Just don't make it a Japanese show because they are notoriously terrible actors.

Re: How skilled are Dragon ball characters as martial artist?

Goku was skilled enough to fight against Hit who in the manga was said to be fighting evenly against him by predicting dozens of his moves in an instant. I remember in The Batman, the animated show, Batman fought against some regular dude who had some device that allowed him to travel forward or bac...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

Yeah so really the story has it so that Goku and Vegeta in their Base and Super Saiyan forms isn't far removed from their Buu arc selves so matters with Trunks and Cabba and other things is just fine. The anime is all over the place because it's supposed to be the same but then they also went and po...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

Cabba not knowing what Super Saiyan is doesn't mean he hasn't trained and fought many battles like Vegeta. The Saiyans of U6 fight for a living after all. They also evolved differently from the U7 ones. He couldn't have trained that hard if he couldn't become a Super Saiyan. Couldn't have been in a...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

But why? I will never get this complaint. How is it not? Cabba was a scrawny little adolescent who didn't even know what a Super Saiyan was. And yet he's stronger than Buuhan? When just regular Super Buu was already more powerful than Super Saiyan 3 Goku. A Super Buu who then absorbed the prodigy U...

Huh?
It's terrible writing for everyone from as little as Base Cabba upwards to be at least as strong as Buuhan.

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

Was it ever made clear where Base Goku's strength was meant to be in Super in the end of not?

Are we still meant to believe that Base Cabba, Base Caulifla and basically anyone above that is still well above Super Saiyan 3 Gotenks or what?

They already said Cell Max was weakened after Gamma 2's attack so Gohan didn't best peak Cell Max.

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

Yeah. If the Super Hero arc didn't nip this whole quibble in the bud, I literally don't know what else to tell some of you. Sorry it didn't go your way, I guess. It's the mangas way. That's what was written. Moro was said to be tougher than Broly. Nothing in the manga has ever suggested Broly is an...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

Vegeta was already considered a top three character prior to achieving Ultra Ego so he would have to be above Broly from the movie even as Evolved.

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

Uchida, the manga editor, ranks Broly above Goku, despite Whis saying Goku and Vegeta were the strongest warriors he knew about. This is a good example of what I talked about earlier. But the actual writer himself who knows better than some editor said directly that Goku, Vegeta and Granolah were t...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

Was the flashback to the Broly movie only shown in that one extra chapter? Maybe I'm thinking if after he was introduced too.

But still between that and the double page spread, I don't see why he wouldn't be included in such things. Anyone who reads the manga still knows who he is.

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

Let's also not forget that Toyotaro wouldn't have Whis mention Broly in any case since he wasn't formally introduced (or even name dropped yet) in the manga's serialization at the time. Anyone who just reads the comic and isn't intimately familiar with every Super-related thing would end up confuse...
