Thanks Skar. And holy crap, not only "objective quality" but objective quality and beauty ! This can't be coincidence. I'm not sure what it means but there's some link between these two posters. Probably nothing more than the unfortunate reality that there's too many folks under the impre...

Y'all are ragging on krump way too hard here. While going up to talk to a person out of the blue can be awkward or even terrifying for both parties, the number 1 rule on that is to respect the other person's boundaries, and I see nothing in what krump is saying that goes against that. Sure, there is...

I just watched the YouTube compilation of the short videos. They were good fun, and I learned something new, which makes them a perfect microcosm of what you've been doing all these years

I've had a mind to make a thread about this for a couple of years now, ever since my girlfriend sent me a picture of a DBZ crop-top being sold at a Forever 21. That got me reflecting on how many different pieces of clothing and clothing-adjacent items with Dragon Ball characters on them I've owned a...

What seems to be consistently ignored here is that a lot of people like these characters that are being neglected/misused and actively want to see them in a role that involves more than just taking up space. "They ARE being used in roles that are more than just taking up space." If they w...

"Fans would say" / "they would say" isn't particularly worthwhile to get into, I don't think. We're all individual, unique people with our own perspectives. Let's share those instead of making sweeping statements about other (completely made up!) people. But Mike, it's the middl...

I can understand someone recalling watching the show some years back and having their memories of the better side character moments being washed away in the flood of the Goku/Vegeta status quo. The thing about memories is they are often unreliable and inaccurate. Thank you for letting me know what ...

And what others are trying to say is that this series really doesn't give much narrative value at all to non-fighters. I think they are given more value than one would assume. Unfortunately, it's not enough for a lot of folks, as is plain to see from this discussion. I will say that as I'm thinking...

Thank you. This x1000. This has been what I’ve been trying to say.

And what others are trying to say is that this series really doesn't give much narrative value at all to non-fighters.

And that's why I couldn't get behind Super constantly being Gohan yes! Gohan no! Fights yes! Fights no! Confident yes! Confident no! Stella got her groove back! And do did Gohan! The ice cream scene is my favorite. It's the most memorable to me. It's the Gohan I wanted to see. It literally is the G...

You seriously tried to say that Gohan/Trunks/Videl/etc. holding hands together for 30 seconds to do the stupid SS god ritual should satisfy anyone who wanted to see those characters involved, and you don't get where I'm coming from? lol Yes because that’s exactly what I said. That is the only thing...

I think the trick is that Boo and GT are such low bars in that regard. For sure Super improved on that, but what it provides on that front sure feels like table scraps. Thinking about it more, I'd say my deeper criticism of some of those moments is how little they relate to Goku and Vegeta, funnily...

And I agree with you on the sentiment that Super’s writing isn’t great (particularly the first two arcs and the Zamasu arc) but I can’t agree with the mentality that Super short changed supporting characters. At least not compared to the Boo saga and GT I think the trick is that Boo and GT are such...

Tenshinhan gets his first spotlight episode since his death episode in the Saiyan saga! Gohan gets a character arc that addresses fans criticisms with the character and rectifies it in a way that still feels natural for his character. Bulma gets way more stuff (mostly interacting with Whis and Vege...

Yes its almost like the OP said Many fans are burnt out and tired of saiyans. Since DB the show has been entirely the saiyan show with emphasis solely on saiyans with every other race being squeezed out. Many people in DB:Super have referred to it as the Goku and Vegeta show and dropped the series ...

I'd echo what some other posters are saying with the issue not being so much "focusing too much on the Saiyans" as "underutilizing the supporting cast". It's certainly my biggest issue with the series, and I think it's notable that pretty much every shonen battler that has come a...

Oh, jeez, there's too much to list for me, really. I think I just really click with Toriyama's style of humor, as the manga's jokes seem to hit better for me even when compared to how they're done in the anime. As for a specific moment, I will never shut up to anyone who will listen about Yamcha bou...

Now this is the sort of thing I've wanted to see for a long while, something that genuinely surprises me. While there's a decent chance that this ends up falling flat, I'm happy to see something out-of-left field like this being tried every so often. I'm also always down for some love being shown to...

That depends on your opinion of sampling.

It's "Rampage" by Kavinsky, as seen in the pinned comment on that first video. I remember having the same "whoa, DBZ!" thought when I first heard the track.
