I still wonder what the hell Toriyama was thinking when he designed Popo. Blackface has always been pretty common in manga and anime, especially back in the 80s. I doubt Toriyama put any thought into whether or not Popo’s design would be seen as offensive. On the subject of Pokémon, there was defin...

No, those murders by #20 in the city were not inherently evil. You have to remember that he's a robot at that point, even if we might find out he has a human brain later. What humans call "evil", a robot might call "efficient". And on top of being a robot, he's also a martial ar...

I mentioned this before a couple of times, but yeah, it would be easier to consider every aspect of Dragon Ball as "canon". Anything officially created by the right holders of the franchise is canon. From there, you can separate the many aspect of the canon via continuities. You have the m...

Thanks man! Always coming in with that information. Huh... interesting to see that coloring are done by colorist teams. I always assumed that the creator does that at some point in the future, but based on what provided, it doesn't seems to be the case (similar to the colorist team in the United St...

Let me talk about Star Wars for a second. Star Wars's fanbase is probably the worst fanbase in film history, complete with unbelievably toxic behavior, some of the shittiest ideas about where George Lucas should have taken the series, and, even if they were fully knowledgeable about the lore, an of...

I'm just happy people aren't blaming Toriyama's supervision, the pressure and Toyo's work conditions for once. People don't think it's someone else's fault this time. You must've felt pretty smug and self-assured after posting the above, since you felt like people had finally "validated" ...

And for the coloring pages, aren't they colored by Toyotaro, or done by another colorist just like the Dragon Ball colored manga a few years back? Either way, I'm surprised at the colors for some characters, neutral on it or just indifference. The color Super volumes are done by uncredited colorist...

By the way, does anyone have an insight of how Merus is pronounced? I have an idea... but I'm pretty sure I'm 100% wrong on its pronunciation. His name is a joint pun on the Japanese surume --dried, shredded squid--keeping in line with other seafood names within the Galactic Patrol, and mezcal, kee...

Toriyama properly likes Toyataro personally because hes a fan of him or maybe he don't care about the manga that much. but having a fanfic DB writer write and draw Dragon Ball was a bad idea. Was Toriyama lying in interviews about his opinion of the manga and had Toyotaro help design some of the Go...

Well that's flat out wrong. After Goku got to new Vegeta there was no direct reason for Broly to relate to Goku other than the proven fact of Paragus words that the strings of destiny fated both of them to meet again. Anything else is just headcanon. Well, you're not wrong. However, the way the mov...

Another I have noticed. The kickvic side has women telling their personal stories to defend their statement. Vic has said nothing to argue these stories false instead of trying to find proof to defend Vic the IstandwithVic is instead attacking and trying to devalue these women. That tells me a lot ...

First, there was no reason to fight Goku cause the movie explicitly stated [in the scenes I showed you] that Goku's power just AWAKENED Broly's Legendary Super Saiyan. That's all . Despite Paragus finally gaining control over Broly, Goku's powerful presence stirred Broly's instincts. The story didn...

Jesus Christ, why are people so aggressive to use the step-ladder to reach the moon to defend the indefensible? It reminds me of case a few days ago where people are breaking their backs trying to reach in defending Liam Nesson, after he revealed he scorched the streets looking for a random black gu...

Your memory is wrong or you guys watch the terrible Dragonball Z dub. Paragus explained to Vegeta that Broly's goal was the total destruction of the universe. That's why Paragus was missing an eye and needed the control device on Broly. This is way before Kakarot came on the scene. Not to mention, ...

Perhaps people don’t like that kind of character, so they fetch whatever tack on as an improvement, which is fine, but I don’t see this Broly having any more personality than the original. It’s more or less the same… perhaps even less so. I'm baffled that anyone could come to this conclusion. He is...

I think that entire part wasn't that interesting in the first place since it feels... slow? I don't know how to put it into words It feels that way because it's an extraneous setpiece, unfortunately. Pretty setpieces mean nothing to me if they contribute nothing to the plot. Setpieces justify their...

Just saw the film. The film is good in terms of animation, but on the narrative side, it is a bit confusing. The film attempts to display Broly’s tragic story (even though Broly’s story was tragic already in his original film), but it does not do enough to highlight those tragedies. It seemingly sh...

I remember the previous 2 "sagas," yes. Both were executed on a level far above the anime's rendition of them and can stand on their own when compared to non-Toei-Dragonball works. I'd say the manga's previous 2 arcs could go up against any of the shit you find in Jump and win, while the ...

Cheelai’s behaviour was quite confusing, but I doubt her role was to have the audience side with her. Her questionable choices are part of her character, and what she did for Broly was because she had a sympathy for him and disliked how Paragus treated him. She’s also probably a morally grey charac...
