Re: Do you wish Dragon Ball had more diverse powers?

My issue is that DB tends to have a very limited, reductive view of strength as something that can be objectively quantified. "Kung Fu problems are happening so I'm gonna get even better at Kung Fu so I can beat the bad guy's powerful Kung Fu," is simple and I love it. As much as I love s...

Re: Do you wish Dragon Ball had more diverse powers?

It's usually fun when the villain has a strange ability that adds challenge, but I'd rather our protagonists mainly stick to incredibly exaggerated divine Kung Fu abilities like what they're already known for. How do you think Goku and vegeta would handle the following abilities: I expect all of th...

Re: Do you like Super?

If one needs to switch their brains of and not think to enjoy DBS anime, that means it isn't good. I don't know if that's really an objective measure or not, but if it is then I guess stuff doesn't need to be good for me to enjoy it. The thing is the only way to not see any problem in DBS is by not...

Re: Can you/would you ride on Flying Nimbus?

Going by the show's idea of what type of purity of heart is needed for riding the Kinto'un, I definitely can't! Or, if I could, I'd fall right though as soon as I saw a hot person.

But I would really, really want to be able to ride it!

Re: What would be the political stance of DB characters

Like for instance, I could see Bulma initially being against taxing the rich because she fears how much that would hit her family's fortune, then doing a 180 on that stance because she realized she could use the Dragon Balls to magically mitigate the financial loss while publicly supporting this po...

Re: Do you like Super?

Yes. Okay, I need to say more than one word so here's one reason I enjoy Super: The (adult) Saiyans of Universe 7 are all doing new and different things and taking their own paths and coming up with their own ways of doing things. Before, it was too simple! Super Saiyan 3 is stronger than Super Saiy...

Re: What would be the political stance of DB characters

Yeah, it's interesting how the protagonists in these stories operate on the outskirts of society yet are paradoxically the last line of defence against threats to it. It's funny how some of the Z-Warriors make half-hearted efforts to fit into human society, like Kuririn becoming a beat cop and Yamc...

Re: What would be the political stance of DB characters

I can’t believe people are STILL trying to cancel Bulma for what she said to General Blue. She made those comments DECADES ago, she was just a teen back then! I’m sure she’s improved as a person since! :wink: But seriously, I imagine most of the main protagonists are hardcore libertarians. Don’t ge...

Re: How are they able to overpower powerful blast if they hit it from the side?

It's literally the same as parrying a punch Learning how to parry a punch can be of great value because it's a good way to defend yourself in a fight. The word "parry" comes from fencing. In fencing, to parry an attack means to deflect the attack by using your sword to divert the opponent'...

Re: Should the anime come back?

I don't think the anime needs to come back for my sake specifically. Since Battle of Gods I've been saying, "If they just gave us a movie every year or three I'd be content." In fact I think I've had a similar line of thinking ever since Yo! Son Goku and His Friends Return. Just give me a ...

Re: Could foreign dub casts be a thing of the past?

The Son Goku one reminds me more of MasakoX than Masako Nozawa. I wonder if MasakoX is just that good as an English-speaking Son Goku or if the person who made these used him as the template.

Re: Opinions on the Ocean dub of movies 1-3?

Those movies were my first DBZ dub with my first DBZ cast. I think they're pretty aged nowadays in terms of the acting and whatnot but for the time period they're pretty good and a lot of what's not great was still WAY better than a lot of what we already had. I enjoy them legitimately but I am also...

Re: "Dragon Ball Z Dokkan Battle" Official Discussion Thread

I had no luck whatsoever.

In fact, my luck was so bad (and my phone is so old!) that I rage quit and decided to free up the last 12gb of storage on my phone by deleting the app!

I'll probably jump back on at some point. I just need a newer phone first!
