Re: Do you think you will always enjoy Dragon Ball?

DB will always have the capacity to put out a banger.

Super Broly was absolutely amazing.

Re: Masako Nozawa's $3000 USD Autographs

The real question is, is she even getting the lion's share of the money from this

Re: If every form were exclusive, and every character could only have one form, who'd you give them to?

I just wish there was some differentiation according to character.

If Goku is going to achieve godly ki, then let Vegeta continue to amass power purely born of a saiyan - SSJ blue would look awfully cool standing next to SSJ4.

You know, instead of "it's SSJ blue but like his eyes are a little ...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima: Episode 19 - Official Discussion Thread

Vegeta should've had a much cooler SSJ3 hairdo.

EDIT: Also, the talk in the prior thread about comparisons to Star Wars have gotten me increasingly giggly the more I think about it.

The original Star Wars trilogy is hailed as being an example of simple, effective writing, a very basic hero's ...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima: Episode 18 - Official Discussion Thread



No? The Super Saiyan God Beerus dreamed of had a Saiyan tail, which the SSG that appears in Super does not have. It's been a long-running mystery for 10 years, and while I still believe that god was Yamoshi (who people thought would return in 2018 instead of Broly), now I am open to the ...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima: Episode 18 - Official Discussion Thread

How would undercutting the entire existence of Super Saiyan God be some kind of storytelling master stroke

That's literally just retconning

Re: Dragon Ball Daima: Episode 18 - Official Discussion Thread

Goku was training for 7 years with the Kais, so if anything, him not getting such a form would've been bad storytelling. There was also the fact that Goten and especially Trunks kept questioning his greatness, so that was basically a set up for him to blow them and everyone else away with what he'd ...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima: Episode 18 - Official Discussion Thread

SSJ3 and Gohan's mystic powerup were, in fact, bad storytelling. They're iconic in spite of that because of the inertia of two prior well-put-together sags as well as DBZ cementing the transformation trope into shounen's DNA.

Let's remember, mystic Gohan was completely wasted and SSJ3 literally ...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima: Episode 18 - Official Discussion Thread

I mean, this is also the same series where a concentrated hate campaign from bigots and grifters controlled the online narrative of the series' supposed quality from start to finish. Far be it for me to defend a Star Wars project—speaking as someone who grew up on the franchise and doesn't really ...

All the internet is raving about this episode and predictably this forum is miserable and negative as usual, i don’t even know what’s the point of having a forum from a franchise you clearly don’t like anymore and outgrew it, it’s just like Star Wars fans, a bunch of miserable people circlejerking ...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima: Episode 18 - Official Discussion Thread

Daima is such an unbelievably confused show.

You make them kids - the implicit goal is that you want to focus on adventure and possibly not so much combat, but then you practice surface-level world building and present us with the ugliest and most unappealing environments the DB franchise has ...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima: Episode 13 - Official Discussion Thread

Echoing the sentiment that this felt like an episode developed by a completely different team, kind of puzzling. Honestly though, this might've been the only episode of Daima that I've actually legitimately enjoyed. It actually channeled that sense of exploration that GT notoriously failed at.
