Re: Absurdities of claiming that canon does not exist

IMO: there's a Tier list of "Canon" and whether something counts or not depends on if it gels with or contradicts something on a higher tier. It goes: 1: The original 520* Chapters of Manga (*The Trunks Chapter counts) 2: All revival era projects where Toriyama is credited as the primary w...

Re: Are these four main women in Dragon Ball really "just house wives"?

Homosexuality has long since been established to exist within THE CANNONS™ of Dragon Ball . Honestly, ignoring the very real canon gay characters for a second, I am FAR from the only person who thinks Caulifla and Kale are HEAVILY coded gay... I'd absolutely LOVE some future thing to make it explic...

Re: Crunchyroll releasing "Dragon Ball Super Complete Series Limited Edition Blu-ray"

I've been waiting for a cheaper re-release and this is WAY cheaper overall. (All 10 parts at MSRP is like, $400+) so this is an instant buy for me. Guess they won't do seasons sets. I better start getting the parts now. Not necessarily. There's precedent to do one big "Limited Edition" rel...

Re: Dub-fans, was there an adjustment period for you when Goku started to be portrayed correctly in DBS?

*Dusts off old account* been a while. I'm on the side who thinks Super Goku is easily consistent with Late manga/Z Goku. There's SOME obvious exaggeration, but I think a lot of the criticisms are overblown and I honestly think I know a few reasons why. A big one is that the "Z" portion of ...

Re: Toei should promoto Piccolo more as a LGBTQQIP2SAA character

How many times do we have to point out that calling Piccolo asexual isn't changing or retconning anything? It's just explicitly stating something that has been true from the beginning. Bingo. He always fit into this description. It's just now we have words that directly describe it. Do I think Tori...

Re: Toei should promoto Piccolo more as a LGBTQQIP2SAA character

Re: Toei should promoto Piccolo more as a LGBTQQIP2SAA character

In the meantime, LGBT+ audiences are told to eat the bare minimum we're given-- even when it sucks (which is most of the time)-- and are ridiculed for "identity politics" when we publicly voice our want for more representation. We *know* that it's up to creators... but here's a truth we a...

Re: Let's talk about Trunks...

Ok, I just rewatched the fight and I think people are definitely overreacting on the complaining about Trunks' power. Sure, he got some kind of boost from anger recently, as well as, I would argue a ton of Zenkais he no doubt got from the multiple beatdowns and senzu recoveries he got over this arc....

I kinda want a Linkara super boy prime voice for Broly. Oh hell yes. I love this idea! If they keep his personality mostly intact to how it was in the original and make jokes around that, then the Linkara StupidBoy Prime voice would be perfect. If they change his personality for the humor I don't t...

Re: Official "Show off your Dragonball Crap" Thread

I would like GT bluray cases and maybe ocean dub on bluray. PROBABLY not gonna happen. The masters FUNi got of GT, along with the original DB are Digi-beta tapes instead of the film masters they got for DBZ. That's why the DVD remasters we DID get of those properties fared better than FUNi's orange...

Addendum to my unpopular opinion from earlier: Been watching more of Super. I've gotten past the Freeza arc. Still enjoying it quite a bit. I have noticed they are padding it a bit... like, they don't have to worry about catching up to the Manga.... so why is there stuff here that feels like filler?...

How are you going to handle GT (if you are going to handle GT)? the GT singles have NEPs, but the Green Bricks have original Japanese music as an option for the dub. So basically singles are better for Japanese audio track and green bricks are better for English) Not a fan of GT TBH, so no real pla...

Re: Contentious Debates: Evidence of Worse Writing post-Name

The introduction of specific Battle Power Ratings via Scouters was one of the single biggest mistakes in the manga. I honestly feel it was born of lazy writing, and it happened in the Saiyan arc. One of the most contentious debates in the entire fanbase has been "What is ________'s Power Level?...
