Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.

To just go all of a sudden like that, right when he's working on a new project...just awful. It wasn't his time.

Re: Why do people take "5 minutes Namek explosion" so seriously?

Guys you are massively overthinking this lol

The reason Freeza said "five minutes" is because it's a device to inspire tension in the audience.

When it turns out to be fifteen episodes instead of five minutes, that tension gets lost. Hence people making fun of it.

Re: Why do people take "5 minutes Namek explosion" so seriously?

Shonen in general has always had a reputation for dragging things out with exposition and random nonsense, but that particular moment in DBZ is quite possibly the most egregious example in history.

Take away from them meaning it would erase the theming/motivation for their backstory?
Correct.
Fair but it seems like the U6 saiyans were kind of a cheat code for getting around that.

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

Toriyama has the chance to correct a very critical error that GT failed on--please make the child-sized stuff a short, first arc thing and then return everything else to normal, post-Super goodness. I think everyone is assuming this is a fundamental part of the series as a whole but I don't think t...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"

So I finally got around to actually watching this thing. It's uh. Nicely animated in parts. Bizarrely, the animation of some of the destroyed landscapes and wide shots might've been the best-looking parts of the movie. But boy, oh boy, the absolute hilarity of a movie called "Super Super Hero&q...

Because the identity and tropes of Dragon Ball have eclipsed itself.

Re: Do you like Super?

Predicated on the idea that we cut out the movie retellings and completely ignore them forever...it's alright. There are some moments with great animation - I will never get over Goku casually roundhousing Jiren - and the Zamasu arc is a good piece of DB lore albeit with some really weird moments, e...

I'll just go ahead and list the main flaw for almost every movie: a dumb final encounter

That's why Super Broly is tops, the last fight is a FIGHT.

Would you rather it be still Zamasu or just Piccolo turned evil for whatever reason? I think it'd be interesting if Zamasu was like, "look at the Namekians, they just hang out and drink water and don't screw up the environment or kill things for fun, why can't you humans and saiyans be like th...

Re: The real reason why Broly hates Goku answered by Takao Koyama

I'm pretty sure the whole sentiment being offered here is "it's a stupid, nonsensical plot point, and that's fine". It's not central to enjoyment of the movie. Movie 8 is one of the most face-punching-centric stories in the entire DB universe and Broly barely even talks, the fact that no o...

Re: The real reason why Broly hates Goku answered by Takao Koyama

Goku had a power level of like...3, as an infant. There is absolutely no way he imprinted on Broly like that lmao It's not about the actual number. As the narrator himself says, Goku definetly got some guts, it's not that Broli was affected by his power, but rather by his actual presence. The relat...
