Re: Unpopular DB opinions
On the subject of Zamasu, I’d say he was a solid villain but like Baby, the potential behind the character wasn’t fully used. Zamasu could’ve potentially been a fairly complex character but when all was said and done, he wasn’t really all that different from your typical megalomaniacal Dragon Ball villain. The only major thing that really sets Zamasu apart from the typical DragonBall villain is that he thinks he’s the good guy, whereas most other Dragon Ball villains are well aware that they’re evil.

"Dragonball" felt more world expanding than "Z" with all their Kais and Buu.

I actually wish OG DB took more time to flesh out Dragon Balls earth before we moved on fighting aliens in outer space.Olympian wrote:"Dragonball" felt more world expanding than "Z" with all their Kais and Buu.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I think the same about GT in the very first arc and even Z movies expanded more the planet than the actual anime.Olympian wrote:"Dragonball" felt more world expanding than "Z" with all their Kais and Buu.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Toriyama's designs for GT cast range from passable to awful. He trully phoned it in and for no good reason, seeing how he JUST redesigned the cast in a very fitting way for EOZ few months earlier. Only Pan & Bra needed an update.
Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I honestly doubt that's unpopular, especially in regards to moustache Vegeta, though I have seen some sporadic like for that design.Basaku wrote:Toriyama's designs for GT cast range from passable to awful.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Perhaps privately but in general? Many fans are very uncomfortable criticizing any of Toriyama's ideas or designs. If latex Bra or mustache Vegeta were Toei creations, there would be no end to criticism.dbgtFO wrote:I honestly doubt that's unpopular, especially in regards to moustache Vegeta, though I have seen some sporadic like for that design.Basaku wrote:Toriyama's designs for GT cast range from passable to awful.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
While I agree that DB felt more world expanding, I don't care. Lore and world building aren't that interesting to me.

Did I say it in this thread? Okay, I did, but it does bear repeating because it is boring and I think most people would agree that it's not interesting outside of a story.Noah wrote:You said it already a couple of times, no need to repeat yourself.ABED wrote:While I agree that DB felt more world expanding, I don't care.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I don't find either Gintama or TFS very funny, and I actually find I laugh more at the actual humor in Dragon Ball.
I'm surprised TFS did nothing with this scene https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JI6A9CL9HLw , this scene makes me laugh my ass off the way Vegeta gets roasted and then Goku smiles like "You mad?".

I've always loved Gohan's ritual with Old Kai, yes the one with the dancing and reading comics lol
Re: Unpopular DB opinions
What sets him apart from the rest and is the most appealing aspect to me, is that he didn't start out evil. He's a Kaioshin, which is one of the last beings in the Dragon Ball world that you'd think would ever become corrupted, that was interesting. Yeah there's Kami/Piccolo,but Kami had to literally manifest an evil side, and didn't become evil himself.WittyUsername wrote:On the subject of Zamasu, I’d say he was a solid villain but like Baby, the potential behind the character wasn’t fully used.

The slice of life episodes in dbs are far more entertaining than most of the real episodes

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I don't know if that's so unpopular as usually (from what i've seen) most people think that super's strongest aspect is it's filler/slice of life moments.Hyena_Yamcha wrote:The slice of life episodes in dbs are far more entertaining than most of the real episodes

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Lore in stories adds a lot really, One Piece whilst having Oda telling a very meticulously planned out story, has so much lore surrounding it which adds to it so much so.ABED wrote:Did I say it in this thread?

That being said, I can see why lore in DB isn't as important - I get annoyed at seeing all the clamouring for the Namekian book of legends to show up again.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Lore that comes naturally as the result of a story and maybe offers a little bit of background material to make the world feel lived in is fine. The meticulous and overly detailed approach to lore that is found in Lord of the Rings only adds to the page count. Much of the call for exploring DB's lore would only lead to greater page count.
I've never seen One Piece.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Me neither, it's a bit better in Z but overall it's not bad. It helps too that it's the intended score for the show Kai was based on so it's more natural than Yamamoto, and Kai and Z are more or less the same show just taken at different paces.Hyena_Yamcha wrote:i actually don't mind the kikuchi score placement in db kai
