Re: Opinions on Forneverworld
I don't understand any Youtube channel whose sole purpose is to rip information off of various websites and then regurgitate it back to their audience. It's especially baffling when they consistently fuck up and misread the information. It's not just this guy doing that. There are a lot of channels ...

Re: Social Media: Attacking Staff, Hypocritical Opinions, et
This is a people issue, not a generational one. Every generation goes through this. We just have now, as Mike has called it, the Social Media Echo-Chamber that makes it reverberate louder this time around. It'll happen again with the next generation, and the next one, and the next one, when the cur...

Re: Social Media: Attacking Staff, Hypocritical Opinions, et
People who go out of their way to shitpost on social media are usually kids, idiots or 3rd parties trying to stir the pot for giggles. I don't think that's anything new. Like EX said attention seeking is just way easier these days. I did my fair share of acting like a dumb piece of shit online as a ...

Re: What character would you give a spin off too
Bra,Pan and Marron would be cool. I think I want to see those characters expanded upon above all else. There's a lot of wiggle room to do whatever with them and I like their designs.

Re: Do you think this argument holds any ground ?
I’ve actually been discussing this with a friend recently. I feel like it wasn’t just the music that was vastly different in tone when it came to Funimation’s adaptation of Dragon Ball. The dialogue felt lifted from American comic books and action flicks from the 90’s. That is to say the dialogue wa...

Re: Weird misconceptions you used to have
I wrote this in another thread but deleted it. It probably fits better here. My first glimpses of the series were of the Boo arc on Toonami. Boo exploding into tiny chunks and reforming was a reoccurring theme so I thought the entire series was about two spiky buff blond dudes on their eternal missi...

Re: Is this how you imagined the franchise being revived?
Super is pretty much what I expected to happen after watching the train wreck that was Sailor Moon Crystal. The circumstances between the two shows were different but the half-assed nostalgia coasting is very much the same. All this new material taking place in that small time gap before the Oob tou...

Re: The Dragon Ball Ford Focus ad on YouTube
That's so killer, I don't even know what's possible or not possible for this franchise anymore. As far as I'm concerned literally anything is fair game at this point.

Re: Which translations do you prefer for characters' names?
The biggest issue I've found with adapting all the Japanese terms into English is how far do you go? If a character's name is a pun do you change his name? Do we start using Turtlehameha? You would have to be very mindful and consistent if you went that route. On a personal level I wouldn't mind it ...

Re: Favourite Overlooked Moments?
Goku getting a giant head after defeating Piccolo Daimao. It's so interesting to see Goku act like a smug little prick on God's lookout. It's rare to see Goku walk around knowing he's hot shit. Dude even waggles his finger and chides Popo for daring to request a sparing match. It's a side of Goku we...

Re: GT - Why SSJ4 Goku is an adult
Toriyama only provided a sketch for an adult Super Saiyan 4 and they felt obligated to use that design despite it not jiving with the current story line. That's the most plausible out of universe explanation to me.

Re: Why is Piccolo Considerd "The Black Guy"?
I could be off base but I think it's probably due to black fans of this franchise being hard up for representation. That is to say, Piccolo's race is abstract so it's easy to project any race on him. I've heard similar diatribes about how Freeza represents the white man and how the Saiyans are black...

Re: How old were you when you first started watching DBZ?
I was around 10 or so. I remember pouring over the Prima Strategy Guide for Budokai 1 which was released slightly before the game. The weird thing is I was barely acquainted with the franchise so I have no idea why I was so excited. The story mode was incredibly efficient in making me a fast fan. I ...

Re: When you talk to random DB fans...
I typically don't expect much. You have to consider a lot of these people were casual fans of what they considered to be a weird looking action cartoon on Toonami. It's hard for me to get up in arms about their pronunciation of Kaio-Ken when most of them couldn't even tell me what a Kaio-Ken is.

Re: NFL/DBZ Crossover
In other news Aaron Rodgers went on to state that 3D is pig disgusting and that 2D women are far superior. He closed the interview by casually mentioning how shit your waifu is.
Jokes aside, I'm glad Dragon Ball is such a fondly remembered action cartoon over here.

Re: Let's Appreciate the Faulconer Score
The Legacy of Goku games go to show that my issue with Faulconer's score lay heavily with the placement and Mickey Mousing. I can't stand how the songs are constantly interrupted by nonsense. The songs sound so much better when all the fluff is removed.
