Show's need to update their look. The characters using cellphones shouldn't be any weirder than Bulma ditching the shoulder pads she briefly wore during the Saiyan Arc. Besides, the really weird bit was seeing them aboard a cruise ship for Bulma's birthday. Looked like something straight out of a Ve...

Since Goku is as susceptible of bringing forth evil actions from others inadvertently as he is bringing forth positive changes of heart (Vegeta being the classic example of both things happening at least partly due to Goku's influence over him), I guess it might be truer to say that what Goku is re...

Yes but it's so wildly accepted and (afaik) how Toriyama sees the series that, even if it's not what's on the page, it's what we're supposed to assume going forward. The cast's loyalty to Goku only makes sense if you assume they see him as having changed them for the better so... might as well roll ...

Goku's an active character not a reactive one, he's shocked in the moment but he's quick to find a solution, he's also very optimistic, so he's not gonna dwell on a bad situation, he always looks at the bright side and that's what makes his personality so infectious to the people around him. Also i...

I think the problem might stem from the fact that the anime dubbing industry seems to exist as its own compartmentalized world and culture, as if there's some kind of unwritten standard about how dub performance needs to be overly dramatic and forced. I would like to see professional Western voice ...

You clearly haven't watched past Frieza, Cell & Majin Saga. Srsly... Piccolo's 2nd in-command whenever Goku or Veggie isn't around. Whatcha talkin abt? Even against vastly overpowered foe as Majin Boo, dude still has the role of mentor/tutor to save the Earth & universe in the process of en...

Ever hear of "show, don't tell"? We could have certainly seen a lot more in that area instead of having to just infer it. afaik that's not how "show, don't tell" works. In fiction you're supposed to treat a character's first scenes as representative of larger patterns. Think Veg...

If I genuinely couldn't stand the thought of people getting erased, sure, I might try to befriend Zeno (very dangerous and powerful person), but I'd have a lot of problem doing it. Goku is out there fistbumping and smiling and cheering to Zeno like nothing lol (and he does this MOMENTS AFTER he wit...

Also a question to guys here who English isn't their native tongue. In your dubs of American cartoons, do the actors sound like the English speaking actor or different a little or a lot? Not really. Voice actors might add a little from their English counterparts (Marge Simpson's voice actress alway...

Even through the dub, I think Goku's basic motivation shines through and is clear. That's what appeals to people in those gyms. Gyms are all about pushing yourself to your limits and beyond. I’ve honestly never known a single person outside of Internet forums to get hung up on the “paragon of justi...

I take offense that you seem to think the world revolves around the Funimation dub. Sure, I admit I also was about to agree with you by saying, "Those could have been Funimation fans" to ABED but not everything revolves around that little company in Texas. What would you have said to some...

Goku's been an adult for much longer than he was a kid. All that heroic stuff is something Toriyama has deliberately been moving Goku away from since Namek. And it's a little hard to take Goku's "let bygones be bygones" schtick positively when he's letting Space Hitler reestablish his alie...

I find him very likable. And what about his actions don't make sense? He has a primary motivation that I think everyone gets - be the best you can be and keep pushing through your limits. You find him likeable because the people in this fandom have conditioned themselves to defend anything and ever...

If you don't mind me asking, why do you think those things would lead to a more "faithful" dub? Not to assume too much, but no one here is a Japanese kid from the late 80s. None of the puns or references are likely to mean anything to us. Not unless we have a translators note to help us fo...

To think they actually considered that but couldn't decide on his fur color and gave him SSG. At least if he looked cool in that form, but he doesn't, he looks like custom Xenoverse character. They couldn't decide on his fur color??? He's a bishounen! A twunk! Give him a dark burgundy body and let ...

Forget Eastern mysticism, crippling fear make you more vulnerable irl too. That's why cornermen spend so much time keeping their fighter calm and why one bad loss can derail an entire career. Look at what happened to Paige VanZant after her lose to Rose Namajunas. She fights maybe once a year and ne...

Realistically, Goku IS a hero, just not a traditional hero. Goku is akin to many of the Greek heroes as most of them end up doing good deeds due to circumstance rather than pure altruism. Although, it is unlikely that Goku will encounter a tragic demise a la Theseus. The Greek heroes may not have a...

I feel like SSB is stronger for no other reason than SSj 4 not relying quite so strongly on asspull power. It's really hard for me to picture SSj4 Goku getting out of time-skip just by powering up.

I don't know if it'd be refreshing but it's definitely something that would scratch an itch the fandom has had for over twenty years now. The number of All Saiyan, Vegeta-sei Intact, Group of Saiyan Survivor, and Vegeta Hits Super Saiyan Before Goku fanfiction is so vast, it easily makes up half wha...

Now I'm wondering if my memory is playing tricks on me. I don't remember any fanart of Imperfect Cell (unless you count hentai doujins). Tons of form 1 and Perfect Cell but Imperfect Cell was always skipped over except when the artist was doing an all three stages collage. Was it more common than I ...
