Re: The All-Purpose "Versus" Thread

Because he's bloody Superman. That's why. Being superman doesn't mean much. Being Superman means he can becomes as strong as he wants to be. His power is essentially limitless. That's not really true. Yeah, Superman is obviously ridiculously strong, but he has a ceiling just like everyone else, it ...

I don't agree with this but Beerus would stomp N52 Supes.

Or did something happen recently that I'm not aware of.
Comic!Superman has very recently undergone a massive power drain, leaving him mostly depowered. That'll be what singsing is referring to.

Let's stop this now before you guys embarrass yourselves. Yup. It's not like the perpetual question of consciousness after death will be resolved by a couple of guys on a DBZ forum saying "Yuh-huh" and "Nuh-uh" back and forth at each other. Though somehow it's still a more worth...

Re: Toriyama's racial/ist character portrayals?

How is that ironic? So coming to the conclusion someone is better than someone else both morally and as a fighter is becoming biased? Well... pretty much. Maybe "bias" isn't the best word since it carries negative connotations, but in this context we're talking about opinion. In your opin...

Re: Toriyama's racial/ist character portrayals?

I also wonder if DBZ had bad blood with other asians, we all know the Chinese hatred in manga nowadays, but was that Bruce Lee impersonator meant to look like such a joke? More than likely. Toriyama has a bias towards Jackie , so I wouldn't put it past him to give Bruce (the superior man) the finge...

Re: Need someone to dub bruce faulconer BOG. Willing to pay

I just know that his music in the 90s is what helped draw a larger audience of people, who would normally never take an interest in Japanese animation. If DBZ had aired in the USA with the original music, nobody would have given a crap. They certainly didn't when the original DB did just that. It's...

Re: Toriyama's racial/ist character portrayals?

For what it's worth, none of these characters (except maybe Popo) are actually stereotyped or written differently by Toriyama beyond their appearance. The only time there's a joke/reference made about a character's race is in the anime, from whatever dickhead thought it would be funny to change Blac...

Re: DragonBall Z Abridged

One would like to take this moment to bring something to everyone's attention - as of roughly March (give or take a few weeks), Dragon Ball Z Abridged has now been running longer than the original run of Dragon Ball Z itself.

Just gonna let that sink in for a while.

I'd just have to note that TFS is now approaching the point in the series that spawned one of the most infamous memes, probably second only to over 9000. So I wonder if they are going to do a "firin mah lazer" reference with Semi-Perfect Cell. They already did it with Nappa way back when....

Tri Beam is one of my least favorite attack name changes. Aside from the fact that it in no way even tries to be even the loosest of translations, it really doesn't make any sense.

Re: Complete list of plotholes/continuity issues in the movi

Breaking news: most of the movies don't gel with the series. Do we really need a whole list? I'd imagine most of us know how/why they don't fit. It's not even "plot holes" per se, since they very obviously aren't supposed to jive with the manga/anime.
