Oh wow. I thought they were back up. My bad. Also, why hasn't EPISODE 1 ever come back? What about Worlds Strongest? Is it cuz they were so bad compared to now? :P
Episode 01 is back up, just not in the right chronological place for some reason. Also, World's Strongest is going to be a 2 Million Subscriber Special.

How in any way is Metal Cooler a rip-off of Freeza? Aside from "Freeza-clan guy gets brought back as a cyborg", and the fact that it takes place on a planet full of Namekians, movie 6 has nothing in common with Freeza's plot.

He's probably referring to the Bardock special. Zarbon was the one who first recommended destroying Planet Vegeta because the saiyans were rapidly growing in strength.
It was actually Beerus disguised as Zarbon #StayWoke
Herms wrote:The fact that the ridiculous power inflation is presented so earnestly makes me just roll my eyes and snicker. Like with Freeza, where he starts off over 10 times stronger than all his henchmen except Ginyu (because...well, just because), then we find out he can transform and get even more powerful, and then he reveals he can transform two more times, before finally coming out with the fact that he hasn't even been using anywhere near 50% of his power. Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.

Well both have similar things in common. They both got destroyed into pieces after fighting SSj Goku and both where drifting in space until their remains where found. Both where rebuild into cyborgs and went to the opposite planets that they where last on in mechanical form (Freeza went to Earth and Coola to Namek).

How you can bring up those two points and question how it's a rip off is beyond me.

Idk. Most people (including myself) think it's one of the BEST DB Movies. There's no way it won't crack the top 10, unless they all acknowledge that they are in the minority.

So, what are people's predictions for the top 10?

I thing World's Strongest, Battle of Gods, Bardock Father of Goku, History of Trunks, and Wrath of the Dragon are all shoe-ins, though not necessarily in that order

I'm weird one, i actually don't like DBZ Movie 3, 9, 10 and 13, these movies are on my bottom list :) I expect Dead Zone, World Strongest, Trunks and Bardock Special to be very high on TFS list

I think I actually did fall asleep during this one upon rewatching it. It has nice animation, but I forget everything. I forget what Tullece is even like. I forget his minions entirely (Though that goes for pretty much all the mooks). I guess I can give credit that the Genki Dama failing the first time is a nice twist. What I do remember is everyone getting their shit stomped by mooks and Goku having to save them which is lame.
I literally fell asleep while watching Broly 2. Had to rewatch some parts again.
I may have too or tuned out greatly during the first half or so of the movie. I only like the other half once the action gets going.

Seems coincidental that the film that Gohan's the main character of turned out to be such a disappointing sack of garbage... :roll:

-About the copyright strikes-

"It's obviously a mistake since even Akira Toriyama himself said he liked the series and Taka even did a voice in Xenoverse, yet the copyright claims are from Toei. I'm sure its just youtube's new retarded ass policy and bots."

Toriyama patiently waits for the next DBZA videos, it seems. I wonder where people will get so much inspiration for this comments.
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

Yeah, no. Just... no.

Also, just because one of their staff lent their voice to an official product, it doesn't give them any more or less legal standing on DBZA as a project. To think it would in any way is asinine and shows a complete lack of understanding on how copyright works.

That's precisely why ordinary men pursue the concept of perfection, it's infatuation. But ultimately I have to ask myself "What is the true meaning of being perfect?" and the answer I came up with was nothing. Not one thing. The truth of the matter is I despise perfection! If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand? To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect! Scientist's agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are! We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp, in trying to reach for something that in the end, we have to admit may in fact be unreachable!"

I don't think Movie 10 is garbage, but that can be chalked up to nostalgia. I still enjoy about half of it. So yeah I'd say it's still bad since half a movie being fun, doesn't make it good. But hey I think the Gohan parts are good so I don't chalk it's failure up to him, but the boring crap before Broly. I still enjoy Movie 9 too. Yeah Bojack is kinda bland, but the animation is gorgeous, I like the set up, and I absolutely adore how the bad guys team up and it being really effective. I like the soundtrack and Mr. Satan's antics too. Tenshinhan gets a cool fight even if it is BS. Ending is cool, but also kinda boring too since it's too easy of a stomp. But hey I dig the power walk, it's one of my favourite anime tropes.

Well they have totally different methods, goals, power sets, and personalities, plus Cooler actually won his fight with the Super Saiyans, wasn't used to promote Toriyama's pet character of the month, and was defeated in a completely different way from Freeza after having a series of completely different fights, backed by completely different goons.

But I guess if you don't look any deeper than "cyborg version of a previous villain," then yeah, I suppose their similar.

Surprisingly though, no one ever slams Freeza for being a rip-off of Vegeta, despite them being nearly identical characters with nearly identical goals and personalities, and very similar fights with Goku (up until the very end).

Exactly. This basic premise is literally all they have in common. Freeza didn't take over a giant planet-eating spaceship and produce an army of clones.
