Re: BOG inconsistencies/changes

As far as actual inconsistencies are concerned, I am a bit concerned at the inclusion of a reference to Vegeta's brother because if the special is canon then all of the glaring plot holes from THAT special taint THIS movie as far as canon goes (not the least of which was Vegeta's certainty that onl...

Re: Is Nappa a misunderstood person?

Actually, Kuririn would have managed to slice him in half with his Kienzan if Vegeta hadn't warned him.

Re: Did Super Saiyan increase Goku's power in BoG?

Super Saiya-jin God form is a bit like righteous might in Pathfinder...very little benefit for a very short duration.

I don't really mind the idea of other hiding Saiya-jin...I mean really...are we to believe that ONLY 5 out of a planet of millions were off planet at the time?

Re: Official On-Going DBZ 2013 Movie Thread: "Battle of Gods

The details are the important part, yes Goku can't defeat Freeza but Birusu also said here that he can't defeat anyone, which changes everything about that quote. I just find interesting they changed that line. Maybe the fan subs are indeed wrong in that scene. No it doesn't. If it's not said in th...

Re: Battle of Gods canon?

I approve this film.
As far as I am concerned it is canon.

Not sure; but that would certainly explain it.
I am watching the dub for a series of reviews...requires lots of Tsing Tao

Black Star Wish

I finally figured out what was bothering me about Emperor Pilaf's wish, apart from the usual plot hole complaints: "I wish you were a little kid again"... When a literal genie takes what you say after "I wish", don't they usually use your exact words, and act as if you were talki...

I wonder if it'd be like Jackie Chan Adventures's hunt?
Not if we are still talking 80s'...last I checked, Jackie Chan Adventures was mid-90's.

Re: Do people here think FUNimation's Z Dub is the worst dub

FUNi did do worse than 4 kids. Despite whatever qualms you have with the company, their product never looked or sounded cheap. You may have liked the Faulconer score, but I can't imagine why anyone would think that's what increased the ratings. Also a lot seem to speculate that a more accurate dub ...

Aye, I think giving Buruma a doofy sounding theme is the worst offender. She is supposed to be a genius!

Re: What if Dragonball had been made as an American cartoon?

There are many more examples than just He-Man and Ninja Turtles. Hey remember that episode of Tale Spin where Baloo finally got his plane back and it WASN'T suddenly taken away from him again by the end of the episode? Golly, I sure don't!

Re: Does it bother you when people use dub lines?

I'm not saying it's bad to enjoy the original names or to expect good grammar and spelling - which I don't call that one petty at all, I like that that gets enforced here - but I just fail to see how it would be so bad if people were allowed to type the names they know. It's clear that most know wh...

Re: Does it bother you when people use dub lines?

Technically, the correct way to pronnounce Saiyan would be closer to "scion" because the first two syllables are sigh-yaw, not say-un. Wait wait...let me try this. Frieza. Tien. Hercule. if the above line features the word Tenshinhan now, then mega hugs to this website and its administrato...

Re: What if Dragonball had been made as an American cartoon?

Hoo boy where to begin... For starters, Freeza and Vegeta would have been reduced to villains of the week that are never truly defeated. The Ginyus, Dodoria and Zarbon would be incompetent mook squads easily defeated in comical fashion by the weakest of the good guys. The search for the dragonballs ...
