Re: Why are they retconning the original Bardock special? Now it's no longer canon?

I'm posting my thoughts here in this dead thread because it was the first one that popped up in google when I went to confirm some information about the new DBS movie before I saw it myself. I have no intention of watching it now. You might think I'm overreacting but its really just the straw that b...

Re: If Android 18's beat-down of Vegeta happened today.

It'd be seen as badass, same as it was. This isn't at all comparable to the universe 6 saiyan situation. Exactly this. The Red Ribbon Army already had a history with the franchise and the Androids were sold/built-up properly to the audience through their conflict with Trunks. A friend of mine calle...

Re: Would you still be as engaged in Dragonball fandom if Super did not exist?

After the series was completed and there was no hope of continuation in sight, I stuck to the videogames, just buying higher quality re-releases of the show and other merchandise like statues. So, yes, I'd still be involved with the fandom. I find myself able to talk about the most inane shit when i...

Re: Is the break in formula the reason for Super hate?

Trunks never saw him use the fucking thing. It's a hollow throwback to get people moist. Just paint these walls with my brains daddy-o. I can not even deal. Just give me some fucking context for how Trunks knows galick gun, why it's his signature technique all of a sudden at the very least. FUCK. E...

What break in formula? Goku getting his salad tossed by inferior enemies to fluff up the episode count? Or maybe you're referring to the self awareness Toei has gained about it's product, which they then use to manipulate its old viewers with contrived limp no substance nostalgia tugging moments? I...

Re: Akira Toriyama named in Paradise Papers leak

Most of the issues that I and others have with "modern DBZ" would be happily overlooked were I a kid and not an overly analytical adult. I know what you mean. I wish I could just switch my brain off and enjoy cool flashy dudes fighting each other again. I can't shut off my brain and enjoy...

Re: What is the lamest thing to come out of modern DBZ?

Pretty much everything introduced to the series from Yo Son Goku and Friends onward to even the small things, like the random tidbits Toriyama decided to drop on us about the DB universe in interviews in the last couple of years. I have no hope for the future of this franchise, but I'm gonna do the ...

Re: Super Episode 114 (5 November 2017)

Ah, so this is why Jiren spared Kale from a ring out and showed Hit zero mercy. Toei couldn't miss out on this merchandising opportunity. Hit was all tapped out in terms of what he can sell, he can't transform a million times, he doesn't have unlimited cyan bodentiol and thus his armor was negated. ...

Re: Do you think the dragon ball fandom are too hard on toei?

Absolutely not. Flanderization of beloved characters, shit art, shit animation, terrible story progression, dropped balls everywhere RIP Black Goku arc and I hate fucking power level debate and all that trite but the scale is busted and, well, its all because of Toei. Edit: Worst of all, fights for ...

Re: Super Episode 106 (3 September 2017)

Call me cynical but I personally believe that Tien got a lackluster showing because Toei didn't want to blow any of their budget on animating his huge repertoire of techniques and abilities. Lol

Re: Which Human character would you incorporate in past stories and why?

I would have had Colonel Silver become a major antagonist or anti-hero after defecting from the Red Ribbon Army. I didn't really give much thought as to how that would effect the story however. I just always thought he had an awesome character design and a cool send off that left you wanting more of...

I would have better explained how a Kai's natural abilities like magic and what not are changed or mutated by having a Saiyan's power.

Re: Does the fanbase enrich DBS or diminish it for you?

I won't say the community enriches or diminishes my enjoyment of DBS. No one on some internet forum is going to change my opinion about something I enjoy or hate. Honestly, a lot of the stuff I've discussed on the internet about Dragon Ball hasn't really altered my views about the show at all. Like ...

It's going to be hell waiting for the dub to catch up to the Universal Tournament Arc. If you get started on the sub now, you can skip all the chaff. No purple goo clones, food fluff, none of Zamasu's repeated monologues about evil ningens, and no half assed retellings of movies. and even if you do ...
