Do you like Vegeta's brother?

Post by Peach » Sun May 15, 2022 1:39 pm

Was wondering what everyone thinks of Tarble? I like the guy. He gets referenced all the time in the new movies, but we never see him. It bums me out. I wish he would at least be in some of the party and slice of life episodes.

I feel like they functionally replaced him with Cabba. Who's honestly a much better character and a more interesting dynamic with Vegeta

His problem is not having any character besides being a guy who was too weak to be relevant. There's just nothing to talk about when it comes to him.

It's alright for characters like him to exist for a change, but yeah.

I liked what I saw of him, enough that I'd like to see more of him.

He was a disappointment.

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.

Yeah he was more of a gag "lol Vegeta has a brother who doesn't like fighting" than an actual character.

No, I don't even like his improved version called Cabba. I only like the Vegeta and Tarble pun.

It's also kinda odd to see a 40 year old Vegeta have a 35 year old brother that looks like he is 14. I guess the medication for the growth hormone treatment was destroyed along with Vegeta-sei.

No.

He felt more like a prop than an actual character.

I found his movie very boring and irrelevant.

He only appeared for a few minutes so I guess not enough time to have a strong opinion about him. Maybe he was only pretending to be nice so that Vegeta would help him. He apparently knew where Vegeta was all these years and only visited when he wanted something :think: .

I forgot he existed. The fact that he hasn’t appeared since his introduction, and hasn’t been playable in any console games since RB2 is pretty telling.

He's okay, but he ceased to exist because of Tarble 2.0... I mean Cabba.

Nope

Apart from his inception being extremely lazy he in my opinion does a huge disservice to Vegeta's character. You could argue that Raditz was also lazily done with so much protentional thrown out the window but he atleast starts DBZ and introduced the Saiyan lore and of course Vegeta/ Nappa so he was essential while Tarble is not. Tarble is a nothing character that adds nothing to the franchise as it is now. Having a brother you have a certain bond with them and given Vegeta is always spouting about being the last Saiyans when he knew he wasn't creates a lot of holes in his character. Maybe if Toei put thought into his character and explore his relationship more with Vegeta I could come around to it.

My head canon is he doesnt exist and Vegeta is an only child. Cabba while also another disappointing character is a much better route to go down. It gives Vegeta a "little brother" figure while not creating plot holes in his character and story.

Well he’s not unlikable, he’s just dull. He does seem less whiny than Cabba though so.. I prefer him I guess..

Overall considering how he was introduced, which is a filler light hearted movie, I don’t think there was an intention for him to be taken seriously, and so I don’t lol.

Unless I'm mistaken, we're being asked how we feel about a character that only appeared for a few minutes in that one special?

Was this supposed to be a gag, because I didn't find any humor in it because it such a big WTF out of the blue thing to push on us. Then he's even more timid than all of the Son family. AND a non-fighter. Then I have to question would V'Sr even bother trying to hide/save someone like him. I assume that wimpy non-fighters get set to bootcamp and either they change or die.

All that being said, I would not mind if he showed up every so often in the more slice of slow life type episodes to catch up with his brother. Vegeta getting all embarrassed by his week brother who's probably weaker than Yamcha.
