Re: I've been thinking and honestly One Piece seems superior to Dragon Ball?

I agree Dragon Ball peaked on Namek, but you're arbitrarily applying that rule. It's not a rule as much as a tendency. I don't agree that DB is too long, at least not the manga. Every arc is unique and it never feels like it has burned all its creativity. I don't really agree. DB settles into a rep...

Re: I've been thinking and honestly One Piece seems superior to Dragon Ball?

Again, that’s a laughably bad comparison. 1 page on a book=/= one 20 minute television episode. At all. They do, but most shows tend to drop in quality around the third-fifth season. It’s very rare for a series to go past 5 years and still be as good when it started or even better. I can criticize ...

I don't think using One Piece's length should be an argument against it. A lot of great books are over 1000 pages long, a lot of good TV series last multiple seasons. You may enjoy shorter, more concise narratives (so do I), but a work of art's length does not matter. You can criticize the way One P...

Re: Who Else Has the Potential to Turn 'Good'?

Nappa wanted to revive Raditz. If Vegeta could change, then so could both of them. Honestly, if Vegeta changed, then so can any other villain in the series (barring insane creatures like Boo and Janemba), though that doesn't necessarily mean I would like to see it. Perhaps not Freeza, since modern D...

Re: Ultimate Goku?

I think he would accept provided all other options of defeating Boo were exhausted. Goku doesn't have much potential and it was pretty much implied he had tapped it out by the time BoG comes around. He would likely be as strong as his SS3 state, maybe slightly stronger depending on how much he still...

Re: I've been thinking and honestly One Piece seems superior to Dragon Ball?

I dropped One Piece back at Dressrosa, so I don't know anything about current developments. It's an enjoyable series, with a fine story and interesting lore, and charming enough characters, but it's far too repetitive and plays too seriously into its own melodrama for me. Artistically speaking, pose...

Re: DragonBall Z Abridged

You could definitely tell that #60 was a passion project they poured everything into, and after the cancelation of Bojack, I'm not surprised. I think the Dragon ShortZ are still mildly entertaining even if they feel uncanny at first, and I always enjoy DBcember, so I'll keep checking the channel. Ev...

Re: Thoughts on a potential Netflix series.

I wouldn't be opposed to it, but I definitely don't think it would be good unless it's an eastern production. It would be interesting to see some western directors take a shot at it. The experience and atmosphere would be almost entirely different, for sure, but it could be an interesting take.

I'm not isolating anything from its context. It's specifically because of its context, a man meeting his fans, that it's nothing more than an innocuous greeting that does not constitute sexual assault.
