You maintain a false principle than, as Goku was blitzing Kefla back and forth you could replace UI with a power boost, and it will still achieve the same effect.

goku UI Omen was not superior to kefla in fact it was inferior   in his offensive it was due to the nature of the UI that goku could dodge the attacks without having to be more powerful Yes he was, he kept increasing his power steadily, and a shockwave from his punch had her reeling. as far as I re...

Yes he was, he kept increasing his power steadily, and a shockwave from his punch had her reeling.

I disagree, it looks cool but there's nothing that differentiates it from any other transformation, all that instinctual dodging looks like regular dodging.

That's a weird announcement and how was this unspotted for two days?

Depending on what type of release and promotion it gets and continues to gain in Spain, France, Italy, and China I could see this movie top out at or near $200 million. Since Dragon Ball has manifested quite a resurgence these recent years, it's popularity in several countries has shot up exponentia...

I see for some people the fights were hard to follow, but this is the type of speed and ferocity I want to continue in DB from now on, although some use of slow-mo or break in motion wouldn't hurt. Also, more destruction and conveyance of speed would also be better too, of course, this can't be show...

Oh, I was just inputting what I read from those two sources and saw from the movie to describe my interpretation of it.

I think in the spoilers or script it said they cracked the fabric of reality and destroyed several planes of dimensions. It could be something like in Gurren Lagann when Simon and Co. was fighting the Anti Spiral, and they were in a different plane of reality or space-time continuum altogether. Pos...

Yes I think so, aside from making Goku and Vegeta stronger and giving them new transformation which they don’t need God Ki for, it does nothing for the story or the fights. I don’t even know why they made them so strong in the first place, if they’re so easily challenged by everyone they come up aga...

Well, some things we're just not going to agree on, but we're on the same page for other stuff. So, nice talk.

Everything else checks out fine, other than battle power being too much of a deciding factor in a fight; and a lack of abilities and techniques in battle. I don't see the need for a complete upheaval you're talking about, and disregarding power scaling would make the fights too erratic and undermine...

But those "powerups" shouldn't even need to happen; whether you think they're done better or worse doesn't change the fact that they're playing to a broken system that was only made in the short-term to lighten Tori"s creative workload. A setting so toxic to it's characters that Goha...

That's exactly the problem, and it sucks in those series too. Dragon Ball's issue is that everyone fights by the same rules, and thus if anyone is better than anyone else, there is never any chance of a fight being exciting or surprising. One Piece, JoJo and the like work because all of their chara...

More that the nature of DB's power structure is inherently anti-narrative, and criticizing the series for breaking from that to make a more interesting or engaging battle is completely detrimental to the series' storytelling. I really want them to overhaul the massively-linear scale entirely, both ...

Are you implying power scaling doesn't matter in the context of writing or story?

I just saw the movie (yesterday), and I liked it, but I felt there was too much action for what felt like an endless amount of time and that it should have broken up into segments. As a result, surprisingly my favorite bits were during scenes of exposition and worldbuilding; moreover, it's interesti...

Excluding the Fullcolors, Vizbigs are the best they have great paper quality, large panels, color pages, and they also come with the author notes and chapter art if that's right terminology for it.

Hopefully, the next DB series has more worldbuilding and builds upon the existing lore the franchise has, since the worldbuilding in Super was nothing more than a footnote.
