Re: How would the Dragon Ball fandom react if Jiren were made into a gay man?

The joke is that Roshi doesn't like fat women. In fact, people in general don't find fat people attractive. It's not offensive at all. It's reality. 1) Someone's apparently never, ever looked at porn or been in a porn store or on a porn website, nor has ever hung around swingers or sex clubs or bro...

She's ugly, she was drawn with the intention of her being ugly. Holy shit! Jordan Peterson's been a Kanz poster all this time ...

Re: Is Dragon Ball the biggest manga/anime series globally?

The point is Dragon Ball became a basic template for many other works in the media. Doesn't matter if it wasn't the first of its kind, it still resonated with people in ways those other titles didn't. Dragon Ball primarily became the template for a bunch of Shonen manga that followed in its wake (l...

Sure. Call it "Americasplaining" if you want, that's catchy. As I said, I'm not here to have a discussion about Americasplaining to you. I'm just saying you're engaging in it, it's in general not appreciated, and you should probably be a bit more aware of it. My suggestion has always been...

Re: How would the Dragon Ball fandom react if Jiren were made into a gay man?

Tons of stuff throughout this thread Let me ask two VERY simple, basic questions of you (Xeno Black Goku) just to better clarify where exactly it is you're coming from on these sorts of topics: 1) In your view, when is it ever permissible or ok to write a character that is gay, trans, non-binary, o...

(particularly Street Fighter and Tekken). The first Street Fighter game came out in 1987 and began development when Dragon Ball was only a thought in Toriyama's brain. It's primary influence were the same things that influenced Dragon Ball to begin with. Bingo. I really should just make this gif my...

You're missing the point.

Re: Is Dragon Ball the biggest manga/anime series globally?

Pokemon's a fad. Dragon Ball is legendary. Fads go away in a year or two. They don't make big money over 25 years later. For real. I'd have loved to live in an alternate reality where Pokemon was just the brief Pogs-like blip of a fad it by all rights should've been and didn't somehow completely ta...

Re: Any influence of Fist of the North Star on Dragon Ball's original production?

I like to share this fairly often: this is a quick little gallery from the 1983 No. 52 issue of Weekly Shonen Jump with one photograph from each series represented within the magazine. Really gives you a view into the wide variety of series that were represented within the magazine at that time (an...

Re: Any influence of Fist of the North Star on Dragon Ball's original production?

To help further clarify: Fist of the North Star was absolutely, 100% considered Shonen in its original run. And it was hardly unique in this regard. Shonen as a demographic in manga and anime was overall a great, GREAT deal more risque and artistically diversified from the late 1960s up through to t...

Re: WIth the success of the Sonic movie, is it time for Hollywood to revisit Dragon Ball?

If you do one that tries to capture the ki blasts/anime extravagance of the show, then I think you run into the problems faced by a ton of anime adaptations. The problem I have here is you framing the "ki blast extravagance" aspect from the perspective that its unique to and mainly deriva...

Re: WIth the success of the Sonic movie, is it time for Hollywood to revisit Dragon Ball?

The problem with that is that it wouldn't be Dragon Ball--it'd be Journey to the west. Which we already have countless adaptations are. The examples you're saying this in response to are Kung Fu Hustle and a fa-made DB web series. Just because Stephen Chow also directed a Journey to the West adapta...

Re: WIth the success of the Sonic movie, is it time for Hollywood to revisit Dragon Ball?

The genre doesn't adapt to film very well and even when it does, the Western world isn't ready for it/doesn't care to see it. Literally everything about this sentence is factually, objectively wrong. In like, a dozen different ways. The genre in this case being Wuxia as you said, has been successfu...
