Typical DB bashing comments you are sick of. (read OP)

Post by Ringworm128 » Sat Jul 21, 2012 11:58 pm

Try to keep this on topic. Also only post things that you can argue against (i.e "Toriyama's art style sucks because x" "it's actually pretty good because x") Also try to only post things that people who DON'T watch DB would say so no "the dub sucks" or "Masako Nozawa is awful as Goku".

For me it's "every saga it's the same old thing. A new villain appears who is stronger then the last one and they simply turn into a new type of Super Saiyan to beat it" Wrong, each villain has a different personality, goal etc. And theres always more to the story then the characters transforming (i.e Gohan developing from a pampered mommas boy who can't even look after himself into someone who goes up against fighters like Nappa and Recoom).

"The English dub sucks"

This is 2012, how bad the old dub isn't relevant, we should appreciate it for what it is.

I don't really mind these typical DB bashing comments. There is definitely some truth to them but I just look past some of these things.

Soppa Saiyjins from Dorgou Ballru Zetto is my favorite transformation everah, especially when Trounksoru did it in front of Seru and when Bejita did it when he faced Jingonigen-hachigo. But for real, I use the FUNi pronunciation. - Soppa Saia People

It DID take 20 episodes. :lol:

Anyways, I don't like how people criticize the major fights for 'dragging on forever' all based on the Goku vs. Frieza fight (which went on for an entire season) in the anime when the others don't even reach 10 episodes, which is the maxium length to the average human tolerance level (at least for me that is).

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I'm re-watching Dragon Ball GT in full on my blog. Check it out if you're interested in my thoughts on the series as I watch through it!

I was talking about comments from DB haters. The things you posted are things people who watch the show would say.

Okay I exaggerated it but I still think it's a legit complaint because it's shameless padding and insults the patience of the audience.

"The English dub ruined Dragon Ball Z. That's why people who aren't fans of the series make fun of it so much."



No, I'm pretty sure it's all the golden-haired, monkey-tailed space warriors who spend inordinate amounts of time charging their energy beams and transforming to become even flashier golden-haired, monkey-tailed space warriors that non-fans find so laughable about DBZ, not some dub with a few jokes about weasels and ducks.

It's a legit complaint, but so is complaining about them taking forever to charge up. Ever since Kai came out, complaints like that should've lost all relevancy and legitimacy because those problems were fixed.

I'm pretty sure DB-bashing folks wouldn't try to justify the Japanese version as the far superior product by blaming the quality (or lack th ereof) of the dub for the negative stigma towards the show.

But who outside those who are actively into Dragon Ball in general actually gives two shenrons about Kai's existence beside the kiddies that it caters to?

"Dragon Ball sucks, they f**king punch like this! *Exaggerated Punch in the air*"
"Do you really like a series that relies on people getting stronger and powerful through screaming?"
Yeah. I kind of hate my friend's opinions.

It's this one:
''But we have a Kai, so the dub problem is fixed''
But you don't have Dragon Ball, all the filler in Z + Buu saga and GT and nobody cares about Kai!

I'm actually okay with any of the bashing... It's really not that common. You'd be surprised how many people have respect for the show, since they may have watched it casually when they were younger.
