Re: Why Were Villains Handled So Poorly in DBZ?
Givent hat the Saiyans were Kid Buu Lite, I suspect "profit" was a secondary motive.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Besides, wasn't Dragonball ALREADY quite dark anyway with the main villains from Piccolo Daimao onward being utter sadists, with Buu Himself being a cosmic horror?

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Before 9/11 people were cynical because of the cold war. At most, there was a brief optimistic period in the 90s in the western world thanks to the end of the cold war, that's all. None if this is true. At best it's pop psychology, and a reach at that. Back in the 30s, there was an even worse econo...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Thanks for the info. Besides, isn't Dragon Ball already "darker and edgier", with Piccolo Daimao, Freeza, Cell and Buu (the sort of thing that wouldn't be out of place in R'lyeh's depths)

Re: Why Were Villains Handled So Poorly in DBZ?
I'd say Buu was handled best out of the lot: Ancient Horror that would have Freeza shit himself and actually lives up to that reputation (though were it up to me, I'd have had Buu's backstory be that it was created to be a weapon in DB's equivalent of Ragnarok)

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
How old are you? Anti-heroes have been popular going as far back as the 70s. 9/11 didn't make people more cynical. Regardless, that wasn't my question to you, why do YOU want DB to be darker and edgier? If 9/11 didn't make people more cynical, the entire Bush Administration and the economic crisis ...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
@Abed As to the rise of cynicism in western popular culture, I suspect it's largely down to us living in a post-9/11 world and we have seen western governments betray their ideals in the name of national security, and this sort of view has only been compounded with the economic crisis and large sca...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Speaking of Cosmic Horrors and BoBW, I'd have liked it if Freeza wasn't "the most powerful being in the universe", but a title he claimed for himself in his section of the universe, while it's implied that he's NOTHING in the grand scheme of things compared to other horrors of the universe...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
That doesn't sound DB at all. Also Goku is legally retarded? How? Well, it could be argued that Q Who and BoBW "didn't sound trek at all", but they were some of the best ST episodes ever. Meanwhile, Goku took one hell of a hit to the head as an infant. Not really. I doubt Gohan has any re...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
^That's really evil. I like it. But it might be too dramatic for Dragon Ball. Regardless of all the crap he had to take during his whole childhood, Gohan isn't resentful at all (even Nozawa comments on this character trait of him in an interview, saying that she thinks it's amazing that he doesn't ...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
What does "pure hearted" mean? Gohan is far from any definition, since he knowingly and sadistically tortured Cell, and Pure of heart is taken to mean severely mentally challenged (Goku thought marriage was food), which Gohan isn't. He has had to put up with being a living weapon since he...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Gohan would have been a better Majin than Vegeta.
