Re: What is the lamest thing to come out of modern DBZ?
If you dont want to answer the question he made then dont engage and just state what you feel without just pretending to. What are you even talking about? I did answer his question. I wouldn't say this of Toriyama specifically but I've seen enough creators do a disservice to their own older work th...

Re: What is the lamest thing to come out of modern DBZ?
You keep changing my question, I'm not asking if you think it's good in regard to its "purpose" I'm asking if you think it's a good story by its own merits. I'm not changing the question, I'm answering it. I do think it's a good story considering its purpose: to bring Freeza back. Do I li...

Re: What is the lamest thing to come out of modern DBZ?
I'm asking if you'd call it "Good" I'd call it good for what its purpose was. In any case, I'm not sure what the relevance of my opinion on the story of Resurrection 'F' is. Also here's another question, which do you think had more narrative pay off and made for a better story when it com...

Re: What is the lamest thing to come out of modern DBZ?
How is this not and problem?? Ascribing the quality of content exclusively by the creator and not its artistic value? Your premise automatically implies that content by the creator has no inherent artistic value. And that's not true. I really fail to see the problem. It's one thing to simply not li...

Re: What is the lamest thing to come out of modern DBZ?
I fail to see how this is a problem. All things being equal, deferring to the creator is the least worrisome standard anyone can have as far as fiction goes.

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions
The fact that Vegeta appears without bangs for the first time can only lead me to think he was indeed designed by Toriyama. Really? Bangs? You automatically exclude oversights or stylistic choices in such minutae and go right to "designed by Toriyama" because of that? Well, fortunately we...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)
I take that as Toriyama just using the more known visual. But there's no reason to make that assumption. What we have is Toriyama having the freedom to decide how he wants the character to look like, and settling on that. King Vegeta appears in Movie 14 exactly as he is in the anime. I don't think ...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)
And speaking of colors, I noticed they are still going for Piccolo yellow parts, Kibito and Kaioshin of East are also seemingly colored the way they are in the manga, yet we still see white Karin. Don't they know Karin is blue? Not really. Besides, Toriyama settled on white when they asked him to d...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)
Well, I'm excited. It seems they took their time with the animation, and even more Toriyama's involvement is always welcome. I'm not exactly a fan of turning them all into kids (feels like a cop out to something), but I'm willing to go along with it if the story and everything else makes up for it. ...

Re: Does Dragon Ball rely too much on interviews for lore?
I know fans want Dragon Ball to be like Naruto or One Piece with an intricate mythology that accounts for every single on-panel tree branch, but the vague nature of the series' lore contributes to the charm, I think. I agree. In fact, I particularly like that the mythology in DB is presented casual...

Re: Toriyama loves Star Wars but has George Lucas ever talked about Dragon Ball?
Of course it's not out there that both authors could independently come to the same "climactic battle between good and evil on a burning planet where the good guy cuts the villain's legs and arm off" set piece. Yeah, that's really a stretch to make it a "reference". That specifi...

I’ll never understand this narcissistic mentality so in vogue nowadays. I’m going to assume an abundance of good faith from you.

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 89 - Official Discussion Thread
Historically speaking, plenty of people who partake in reading/viewing works of art or engaging in fandom love to see themselves represented, especially people who are historically marginalized in society. Furthermore, historically-speaking, creators have a history of including marginalized people ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 89 - Official Discussion Thread
How dare he represent the wide berth of people who read dragonball instead of catering just to one type! I honestly don't follow. Who is that representing exactly but its own character? Since when are Dragon Ball readers begging for representation, or are in anyway excluded from enjoying Dragon Bal...

just like he revived Freeza cut in a million pieces because he doesn’t like him. I think Shenlong revived Freeza in pieces because the latter was still alive in that state, it was the blast that killed him. Neither: It is of course possible, but that person's body was cut to pieces long ago, and ca...
