It's not so much flippant so much as trying to be both things at the same time and it doesn't mix well like other series I've seen.

Another fantastic dissection video. :thumbup: I get the feeling Cell Saga is gonna get the 1 spot with the sheer amount of plot-induced stupidity the characters exhibit. Somebody's forgotten the Buu Saga. Like forget OOC moments, the way the story bounces from Gohan's school life to a tourney to a ...

This is the first time I've ever heard people say that Super makes Goku MORE heroic. If anything, I've felt the complete opposite. It seems to me that Super has pushed Goku into an extreme caricature of the "barely functioning manchild" to the point where it's nearly impossible to take an...

If they did go after Gero right away, he could have sensors to detect any threats approaching and send out the Androids he has. So instead of just two, they all have to contend with about three or maybe more (one for each fighter of various strength). That'd be a smart way for them to make things wo...

4. Have their attempts to fix it fail and screw things up more: Now, this I agree with wholeheartedly. I don't have an issue with the way things played out, but I think it would certainly have been dramatically improved if we saw some failed attempts to stop Gero. At the very least, it would have b...

Funny how I posted a thread regarding Goku’s character in the dub that ruffled feathers big time days before you put this out. Dang... I saw that thread, and it was all I could do to hold my tongue... my, um, keyboard tongue. But I didn't want to pre-empt myself. If anything, your thread gave me mo...

Makes you wonder why this is such a fan-favorite arc even among those who admit its plotholes.

Funny how I posted a thread regarding Goku’s character in the dub that ruffled feathers big time days before you put this out. Dang... I feel these moments aren’t as scruntized simply because we got Dragon Ball Z first and didn’t have past adventures to fully see how OOC this is. It’s also a conflic...

I hope it’s clear that this thread was not to promote a nostalgia-goggled view of an out dated dub like some fanboy butthurt that Kai’s didn’t have “It’s over 9000” outside of Nickelodeon. This was mostly a very poor attempt at pondering with others if Goku’s heroic traits being more emphasized in ...

When this was initially done for Red vs. Blue , Japanese audiences apparently found the character of Grif to be insufferable, as his sarcastic dialogue and lazy demeanour were distinctly seen as disrespectful in Japanese cultural norms. This is intriguing since Anime characters have never been shy ...

Its INCREDIBLY transparent throughout all of these threads, and some of the logistical pretzels and verbal/rhetorical jiu jitsu that people seem to contort themselves into when attempting (and failing) to be "subtle and suggestive" about their underlying goal never cease to be astounding ...

That is, changing his naively selfish moments into naively good guy moments like with sparring Vegeta and the motive behind it. Watching MistereFusion and the various discourse Super (inevitably) brought forth on how his Saiyan traits aren't as endearing as the plot makes them out to be, I ponder if...

On that note, were you okay with "Let's go see Yamcha" in the Super dub? It gets a pass from me since it's Vegeta and Vegeta is, well, Vegeta. From anybody else, it'd sound way out of character but that's thankfully not the case. That said, it can border on too "wink, wink, nudge, nu...

I think the people working on DB at Funimation have an ego to a certain extent. Ego's got zilch to do with it. More to do with one's philosophy on translation and adaptation. In the case of FUNimation, their dubbing methods seem to lie with the mindset that any Anime could be somebody's first and t...

I personally enjoyed FUNi's more balanced adaptation of DBZ Kai with how it's true to the original storyline but isn't afraid to be more flexible with the dialogue so the script hardly sounds like stilted translations that'd make even fansubbers cringe. This is something Sailor Moon's Viz release im...

"Let's go see Yamcha" Considering it was Vegeta who's still kind of an ass, I can't say it's very out of character on his part at the very least. Honestly, the dub of Super for many makes the series more entertaining even during the "less than well drawn" parts. Really, I enjoy ...

They couldn't make it longer?

I mean, what was wrong with Kuu-Zen-Zetsu-Go?
