First, DC and marvel aren't franchises, they're companies that produces a bunch of different title for a wide range of ages. This isn't up for debate. You are objectively wrong on that issue. You aren't comparing apples and oranges. DC making films like Shazam! and Joker is not the same thing as Po...

Exactly, IF proper measures are taken. The problem is that a lot of people (especially on the right/conservatives) aren't taken these measures, which is resulting in things getting worse. It's even worse than that; there are a shitload of people who actively believe that this is nothing but "a...

But as I said, the anime can differentiate stuff from the manga, which is why people read the dang manga before they watch the anime. And we're talking about how to get access to the official release of the manga, which is a meager $2 a month (not a bundle that breaks down to $2 a month, just a fla...

I've been seeing all this and can't even begin to think what's going through their heads. It can't be ignorance as this thing has been on every channel and website. You've got doctors begging everyone to stop acting out and just stay home, as they're making their already very hard lives even harder...

And yet those specific stories were written in spite of the Comics Code, so obviously things wouldn't be all that different. Comic book characters would still have been taken seriously today because they were being written seriously long before any "adult oriented" stories of the 80s and ...

At this point, I'd be more surprised if production on any TV show or movie hasn't ground to a complete halt for the time being. If they haven't, they absolutely should because no need for entertainment or desire for money is worth being inactive in the fight to curb and eradicate this virus. Also, s...

People devoting resources to translating a manga Viz has had official releases of for roughly 20 years so people who choose to pirate the manga instead of buying it can have a slightly better reading experience, instead of scanlating stuff like Victory Mission which has no full translation? Yeah, t...

Just throwing it out there, but the scans online of the full color manga (at least Saiyan and Freeza arcs) are scans of the Viz editions, or at least the lettering, font, and spacing are indistinguishable and cleanup is invisible to spot. I also think there was a concerted effort a few years ago to...

And even if that doesn't sway you, Dragon Ball's Viz manga has never really been something that goes around the piracy scene anyway; I guarantee you what you'd be reading on Manga Geek or whatever else would be a shitty scanlation from the '90s using comic sans typeface, full of mistranslations and...

I agree that it's not impossible for a franchise to branch out from children's media into adult media, but I think you are overstating the significance of anything DC or Marvel ever did to remain relevant or to overtake pop culture. Marvel/DC have remained relevant for as long as they have not beca...

More adult, absolutely, but I wouldn't be confident is saying they were made explicitly for adults due to the different kinds of media they made for kids back then.

I don't see that to be the case. If the audience grows up, why should the franchise grow into something else? Why shouldn't they just find other stories that are aimed at older audiences? Pokemon isn't a story. It's a world. It's a premise. It's all about the video games. The series is simply a pro...

I'm broke most of the time too, so I sympathize with that plight, but that doesn't change this site's stance on sharing illegal sites.

I didn't make the rules, I'm not even enforcing them, I'm just informing you that this isn't the place for this kind of request.

it would be nice if we got, say, a serious attempt at a Pokemon anime/OVA/game for teens or adults now that there's such a huge portion of the fanbase over the age of 25. 1 - People of that age or even older have no problem with watching children's programming. 2 - There's no benefit to being more ...

I'm 90% certain the staff on this site actively discourages the sharing or discussion of illegal manga/anime sites and apps. Viz is the only legal way to get any translated version of Dragon Ball, at least in the US.

Would it have been nice if Dragon Ball matured and "grew up," with those of us who have been here for 30 years? Eh, I'm more than fine when children's programs don't grow up with the audience. It's more of a case by case thing in my eyes. Sure shows like Spongebob or My Little Pony should...

Likewise, but my grandmother also lived out in the middle of nowhere and her late fiance used to teach us to shoot and hunt before the age of 10.

Some kid in the country driving a tractor with an adult nearby isn't that unheard of.

Cast will never be killed off permanently anyway. This is just true in general. Dragon Ball is not and never has been that kind of story. The only time we ever got close to a main character permanently dying was Goku after Cell and that was rendered moot almost immediately after the Boo arc started...
