Re: "Dragon Ball FighterZ" Official Discussion Thread

Gogeta SS4 owes most of his hype and reputation to the video games he's appeared in. You can tell because the Big Bang Kamehameha isn't animated like it was in the show, because the way it was animated in the show wasn't very good. Plus his appearance in the show was underwhelming and the episode c...

Re: Dragon Ball Rewatch, Week 62 - DBZ 113-117 (CURRENT WEEK)

Boy am I glad to have gotten through all that garbage! Probably the worst I've ever seen Dragon Ball attempt. It has a lot of competition for that title. The Namek filler, Bio-Broly, GT's first 15 episodes, the Super 17 arc, many parts of Super, etc... To be fair I haven't seen it in 15 or so years...

Re: Is absolutely necesary for a DB continuation to be as good as (or better) than the original?

Or perhaps Super fans are reasonable... Saying things like "Super is no different from the original" or "Super is just as good as any other modern Shonen" is anything bur reasonable. People can like whatever anime they want to like, but let's be honest about the quality of said ...

Re: Is absolutely necesary for a DB continuation to be as good as (or better) than the original?

They're much more concerned with being More Dragon Ball rather than being earnest attempts to continue the story and expand the characters and tell new tales. They're only an 8/10 if you're easily duped by Ultra Instinct/Super Saiyan 4 hype. This is an issue a lot of revivals/continuations suffer f...

Re: I feel like the Super anime (or a continuation of it?) has been quietly canceled

If it doesn't come back within the year, I almost think it's just as likely it'd be held off on until an entire Super redux (manga adaptation?) I think this is actually likely to happen, as the longer time goes on, the less sense it makes to just directly pick up where things left off, especially w...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread

Moro's body couldn't handle UI's power and resulted in him almost self destructing, so maybe the wish will be granted at the cost of Granolla's life being severely shortened due to his body being unable to handle the kind of power he'll receive to become stronger. With that said, I'm not a fan of h...

Re: "Dragon Ball XENOVERSE 2" Official Discussion Thread

I'd like to get more GT characters. I'm not asking for the usual GT Vegeta, GT Gohan, etc... but Rejikku, Mucchi Mocchi and his mutant whip, the two forms of Ruudo and the several Rildo forms, including the Mega Cannon Sygma. I'd like to have the individual machine mutants as well, not just their f...

Re: GT and misogyny

I always had the sense that she was meant to be stronger than Goten and Trunks even as Super Saiyans, but I'm probably one of the few to think that. I think she was, at least during their fight in the tournament. Those 2 were definitely strong for their age, but if she wanted to, she could've easil...

Re: Is absolutely necesary for a DB continuation to be as good as (or better) than the original?

Dragon Ball, the comic that ended in 1995, was written and drawn by a specific individual who had specific quirks with regards to creative process, sense-of-humor, and other things. The sensations and experience that readers were able to extract from that comic are causally bound to that specific i...

I think both 19 and 20, as well as Freeza and Cell's second forms will be released as DLC eventually. Bojack and 13's transformations as well.

That's like saying men need a role model to enjoy wonder woman and captain marvel. I agree that DB needs stronger female characters (who are well written), but I don't see how girls and women can't enjoy it regardless.

Why are you against an 8/10 :? ? An 8/10 indicates a good quality product and everyone likes their product be of good quality, right? It would be one thing if the follow up was something like a 5/10 or lower then I could understand and siding with not wanting a follow-up but an 8/10 is such a head ...

Re: I feel like the Super anime (or a continuation of it?) has been quietly canceled

With a franchise still making a lot of money and a Digimon Adventure reboot coming from nowhere, it's obvious at this point that DBS 2 is not a priority for them. Doesn't mean it may not happen though. It would be less likely if the manga had ended too, but it didn't... Even if for some stupid reas...

Re: I feel like the Super anime (or a continuation of it?) has been quietly canceled

I think it will eventually, but just not now, maybe in 2-4 years. There's too much material to adapt and turn into merchandise not to bring it back, as they'll just be leaving $$$ on the table. I do agree with the idea of there being no reason to bring it back now though.

Re: GT and misogyny

When all the women become that while the men remain strong that is not equality. I definitely think retiring both #18 and Videl into that role was a massive mistake. Both of them had a lot of potential to become great fighters and assets to the team, but it was unfortunately never taken advantage o...

Re: GT had a good conclusion for Goku

I was thinking about the argument that GT doesn't have a tonally fitting ending for DB. I agree that it does lean too hard on the sap and sentimentality, but looking back at the original manga, Toriyama has tried his hand at poignancy too. Both of Vegeta's deaths, Piccolo Jr's first death, the lead...

Re: 2021 Dragonball Game predictions?

I honestly think they are done with the Xenoverse series and are putting out constant DLC to hold fans over. I still think we'll eventually get a XV3 due to how successful 2 has been, however it probably won't happen until Super 2.0 is airing. There's currently not enough content to justify a new g...
