Re: Most Overrated Character (Besides Goku and Vegeta)?

Age gap dating is a common thing though, sure an 18 year old dating a 30 something might seem fishy but it’s legal (and happens way more than you might think). Hell, Undertaker is 15 years older than Michele McCool, granted they were both well into adult hood when they started dating. Rose Namajuna...

Re: If DBS anime returns don't expect improvements

Bardock only sent Goku away to save him from Frieza, not out of any disappointment with the Saiyans and wanting Goku to be better. They sent him to Earth specifically because he wouldn't be in danger. For all we know both Bardock and Gine were expecting him to fuck that planet up, too. Seems unlike...

Re: Most Overrated Character (Besides Goku and Vegeta)?

I'm not sure intent to commit literal worldwide genocide really resonates as "oh those teenage rascals" for most viewers. If worldwide genocide was their goal they did a lousy job of it. They spare the Z-gang after their fight, remind Krillin to look after them, 18 doesn't lay a hand on t...

Re: Most Overrated Character (Besides Goku and Vegeta)?

I don't think it was lost in translation. Even in the dub it's pretty clear that 17 and 18 were in their mid to late teens. From the way they talk to their personalities to their first acts after fighting the Z gang (they rob a clothing store and steal a van! that's teenage punk shit), there's not a...

Re: Most Overrated Character (Besides Goku and Vegeta)?

With a magical wish-granting dragon in front of them? probably something for themselves, I guess. Doesn't sound very white knight-ey but ok. "Simp" and "Nice Guy" are pejorative terms. It at least sounds like you're mocking him for having human emotions (god, I'm saying this on ...

Re: Most Overrated Character (Besides Goku and Vegeta)?

Bro, this is cringe. What about Kuririn dynamic with #18 is anything like "simping" or "nice guy" behaviour? If it's not about winning favours for sex then what is it? It feels like this could apply to literally anyone in history who's felt a romantic or sexual attraction to som...

Re: Most Overrated Character (Besides Goku and Vegeta)?

Screw this whole "nice guy" bull crap. People used that term at the drop of a hat. Yeah that's how dismissive insults work. And so what if he hesitates to kill someone he's attracted to? So it goes against the claim that Krillin wasn't motivated by his life long desire for a girlfriend. Y...

Re: Most Overrated Character (Besides Goku and Vegeta)?

Kuririn's not a 'NiceGuy' because he genuinely is a nice guy at heart and he visibly cares about #18. This. Kuririn’s niceness doesn’t begin and end with the hope that if he’s nice enough 18 will sleep with him. Even if you were right, that would still make Krillin a simp and a 'nice guy.' Like I s...

Re: Does it feel odd for anyone else to see Goku and co. using cell phones?

It doesn't bother me at all. I think it would add a level of quaintness to seeing Gokuu using a cell phone casually and without fumbling around. Goku in chapter one of the manga learned how to use bulma’s motorcycle on the fly. So maybe he’s not actually as tech inept as people would think. I defin...

Re: Most Overrated Character (Besides Goku and Vegeta)?

Krillin falls perfectly into the nice guy and simp stereotypes. 'Nice guy' and 'simp' don't just refer to passive aggressive guys looking for sex. They're like Captain Save-A-Ho and white knight, catch all terms for meek guys who are a little too deferential to the women around them.

The reason that I was mocking was: "he is bald and short has no money, and still somehow got a wife". very discriminatory thinking, there... Not really. Krillin's a classic nice guy "simp" type character. Unattractive, broke dude bags blonde bombshell. Seems really obvious why s...

I don't like Krillin because he is bald and short has no money, and still somehow got a wife, that doesn't exist and that's too unrealistic even for a show with aliens and a dog for a president. That's just not real bro, I draw the line there. Sure, Krillin was a bit of a simp, but that is the most...

Re: Most Overrated Character (Besides Goku and Vegeta)?

Tenshinhan after the Saiyan arc. I dont see much difference between him, Krillin and Yamcha but I often see people acting like he's anything impressive and other two are just weaklings. DBS episode 90 comes to mind. Goku/Tenshinhan vs Gohan/Piccolo. Some people were pissed how Gohan one punched Ten...

Re: How well would the Chimera Ants (Hunter X Hunter) fair against DB?

If you popped a Chimera Ant Queen in the Dragon Ball world and had her create soldiers from the people she ate around the universe, it would be pretty cool. Just imagine the kind of "pinnacle of Ki" King we would see. Or the Royal Guards we would see. I imagine it would be a cosmic multiv...

Re: How well would the Chimera Ants (Hunter X Hunter) fair against DB?

Nen and Dragon Ball's version of ki don't work the same. Only one Nen specialization allows you to make your body more resistant to damage whereas ki is (usually) an always on, all around thing. Nen also doesn't make you immune to as many things as ki seems to (for example, Mereum is taken out by ra...

I expect it to be terrible. The only thing I'm looking forward to is seeing Planet-Moro get animated.

Goku is not like the left picture in Z. Or in Dragon Ball. When Murasaki calls Hacchan a failure and threatens to detonate the bomb in him Goku gives him one of the most furious looks in the whole series. It used to be that once the stakes of a situation were made clear, Goku took the situation ser...
