Which Bardock was the worst?

Post by MarCas92 » Thu Dec 31, 2015 11:39 pm

Funi Bardock in "Father of Goku"
"Episode of Bardock" Bardock
or Dragon Ball Minus Bardock?
Or are you super edgy and think the OG is the worst and the other versions are improvements?

-Bardock... it took that "badass" appeal away from him and changed him into a wuving father (when he was indifferent for the most parts in the special) :sick: . Episode of Bardock was at least true to his character and calling him the worst for achieving SSJ would be pretty unfair.

FUNi did try to make Bardock needlessly heroic but he was still a badass.

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.

Dragon Ball Minus gave us Gine, so my vote has to go to Episode of Bardock. I couldn't find a single redeeming quality in the entire thing.

For his personality, in every stuff he appeared his personality was great (including in Dragon Ball Online). There are just a few and specific moments that I did not like the way he acted, but in general, he is what they call a "badass" character.

As for his design, the worst Bardock comes from Dragon Ball Minus. There was not any reason to remove his red leggings and let just the boots.

Episode of Bardock takes my vote. There is not much I find entertaining about it.

What did FUNI do to Bardock? Its been a while so I don't remember. I think they tried to make him more heroic like he wanted to save his people from Freeza?

The original Bardock fought for his people. In the FUNi, they one-up'd it by having him realizes the error in his ways and tries to prevent Freeza from doing bad things.

I dislike that Bardock went Super Saiyajin in EOB. It felt worthless and pandering, though it was pretty cool. At least Bardock was in Character in EOB. I don't hate DBMinus for Bardock, but for the story.

Bardock turning SSJ in EoB was completely unnecessary.

Even though Bardock's personality isn't TOO different in EoB compared to his Minus personality, him turning Super Saiyan completely ruins the point of the character (and Goku to an extent) much more than Minus did to him (and Goku). So I'm gonna have to go with EoB.

The one from the video games. I'm fine with the others (aside from Minus, the character is pretty much the same).

Just Bardock in general. For all the people who hate Broly, at least Broly being the Legendary Super Saiyan has that going for him. Bardock is just... The father of Goku. And that's it.

His first special is amazing, but not really due to him. And everything else with him just sucks balls.

SSJ Bardock is the absolute... Worst. Thing. Ever. So Episode Of Bardock is the indisputable winner for me. I don't really have a problem with Bardock in Dragon Ball. He is still portrayed as space pirate, who loves to fight, conquer planets and exterminate races without batting an eyelid. He just happens to give a shit about his family and doesn't hide it. Nothing wrong with that, in my opinion

Yes. The masked one who goes around beating up SSJ4 Gogeta for some reason.

He's a nobody, and even when he turns SSJ, he's still a nobody in the grande scheme of things. That's what's appealing about his caracter to me. Unlike Broly who's nothing but a Gary Stu.

Exactly! He's a low-level ant who tries to beat the dinosaur that is Freeza and he fails completely and miserably. He doesn't even fight Freeza because he's a hero or because it's the right thing to do, just to save the Saiyan's and if he succeeds, they'll still go around committing genocide, just as their own bosses. Hell, he only even starts to value Goku after he sees he'll become a Super Saiyan and avenge the Saiyan's be kicking Freeza's ass.
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

To be fair all he does in the trailer is land 2 hits on SSJ4 Goku who then fuses with Vegeta. Gogeta lands a single punch and then the team throws a Genki Dama at Bardock which only succeeds in breaking his mask. He doesnt exactly pummel Gogeta let alone even land a blow. Still BS though I agree.
