Re: What was your first introduction to Dragon Ball?

I had watched Speed Racer on TV in the 80s, as well as watching Voltron and Thundercats. In the 90s, I watched whatever Sailor Moon and Macross would air. I was aware of Japanimation. Mid90s, I started hearing about this Dragon Ball Z thing but never saw anything of it. I walked past this asian stor...

Re: How Heroic are the Dragon Team, If They Are?

We all know Goku ultimately is not a hero. He may not actively go out in search of heroic deeds, but's he's stil heroic. He's so "heroic" that he casually fist-bumps a psychotic kid who literally erased trillions of innocent lives for fun. It's surreal that the only character in the franc...

Re: How Heroic are the Dragon Team, If They Are?

If any of the crew witnessed a mugging, they would step in to help. If they become privy to anything that would jepeodize the safety of the planet, they would do what they can to stop it. If someone's pet was stuck in a situation, they would help. Or help an elderly person cross the street. They wou...

Re: Frieza now stronger than Beerus?

When I play fight with a toddler or kitten, do I leave lasting effects on them? When you play fight with a toddler or kitten, is this the non-holding-back look/force you give when you're about to finish them off? https://i.ibb.co/XYdJg1Q/main-qimg-609d0623c22eddf05565ad95d915789e-pjlq.jpg ...And do...

Re: Is there any scenario where Dragonball Evolution could have made money?

Just like for any film, or anything else, it needed to be entertaining. It needed to be so good, it's good ... or, be so bad , it's good.

For a production that was mostly created to keep the license at Fox, it sure did have a bunch of solid people attached to it.

Re: Times that the series did genuine foreshadowing?

. I also wouldn't call Ma jr and Kami speaking a weird language a foreshadow for them being aliens, especially when the series hadn't even brought up the idea of aliens. They're speaking a weird language to each other and then revealed in the next arc to be aliens. In what world is that not foresha...

Re: Frieza now stronger than Beerus?

But if the difference between SSB Gogeta and FPSS Broly was as vast as you're implying, then even Gogeta's "toying around attacks" still would've had significant lasting effects on Broly(as we've seen in numerous battles, across both DBZ and DBS), yet they didn't . Broly soaked nearly eve...

Re: Frieza now stronger than Beerus?

I mean, typically a difference of around 2x(or in some cases much less) is enough for a character to casually dismantle their opponent in like two or three strikes. We have seen this happen numerous times throughout the series. So the fact(s) that: a.) Broly soaked all of Gogeta's attacks without s...

Re: Times that the series did genuine foreshadowing?

In most cases, it feels more like Chekhov's Gun situations at play rather than genuine foreshadowing, though I guess there isn't a huge difference. Chekhov's Gun is more or less an unrelated thing that turns out to be very useful later on. Foreshadowing is a type of build up where you provide the t...

Sure. But Vegeta was the stronger being on earth for quite some time and could have conquered it without much actual opposition. But that was probably the furthest thing from his mind.

Frieza had so many deaths now, that you just know there can never be any certainty on him being dead forever.

Re: On An inherent Level, Does Ki Gain Vigor & Rise In Response To Higher levels Of Ki Being Introduced?

It's sort of like the joke in the second Cooler movie in DBZA. They thought they were hitting them as hard as they could, then they realized they needed to hit them even harder that that. In Dragon Ball, it was always a matter of finding a higher leveled teacher, or even better training or some such...
