Am I an idiot or is there no actual controversy here?
We keep asking "is Grade 4 Goku stronger than Grade 3 Trunks" when we should be asking "is Grade 4 Goku stronger than Grade 3 Goku". Saiyan transformations are not equal across different saiyans.

Re: Why dropping Gohan as the main protagonist was a bad move
It wouldn't have been feasible since "The Plot B" particularly in Dragon Ball is used as complementary to the Plot A. (Comedic relief, minor characters). Having a big secondary character having his own story in parallel requires his own context, and that would steal time and focus from th...

Re: Why dropping Gohan as the main protagonist was a bad move
Too many people erroneously look at a "passing the torch moment" as "Goku is no longer a primary character". Gohan could've easily taken over as protector of the Earth while Goku and Vegeta went on to solve issues in either the afterlife or other universes, it's perfectly feasibl...

Re: Why don't anime studios do this?
I mean I figure it's economics more than anything? High-quality animation teams command a high price and I don't know what the margins of producing anime are but I'll bet it's pretty slim.

Re: Are these four main women in Dragon Ball really "just house wives"?
I'd just like to point out that there are very, very, very few instances of any characters being written well in DB lol Piccolo's face turn, Gohan's transformation, and Vegeta's sacrifice are pretty much the only notable elements of character development in a series spanning over three decades. Tori...

Re: Would you enjoy a midquel?
Maybe only in the sense that we have very little sequel material that is apparently worth exploring, which is just the state of the DB franchise.

Re: Would you have preferred Resurrection F if.....
I mean, if you just copy-pasted Vegeta into Goku's place, no that definitely would not have rescued the movie for me. However, if you actually built a narrative around Vegeta's hatred for Freeza and let him experience some character depth/development on the way to a cathartic and yet somehow hollow ...

Re: If Freeza were a female would he still be a hit as a villain?
I think I actually would've liked Freeza even better. Although I think the goofy played-for-laughs moments with Freeza later on in the franchise (i WiSh I wAs fIvE iNchEs TaLLeR) fit with a male Freeza better.

What's the closest analog, The Matrix? That's not doing it for me with Dragon Ball. And the absolute last thing I want to see is Dragon Ball Marvel-ized.

Re: WIth the success of the Sonic movie, is it time for Hollywood to revisit Dragon Ball?
There is no way you can translate Dragon Ball as we love/appreciate it to live action, or at least the modern product. You could make something under the Dragon Ball brand that works in the context of something else, e.g. a wuxia film, but the reality is that the humor is very rooted in the medium, ...

I don't call SS2 "super saiyan ascended fifth grade", I'm not calling SSB "super saiyan god super saiyan" and that's pretty much that.
