Unpopular DB opinions

[PsionicWarrior]

I only watch subs, oh wait, this isn't the "popular opinions" thread.

[Ozotto]

This one... Shenron will feel.

I only like the Ocean Dub and Funimation Dub.
Only the first 13 movies, 2 television specials, and ocean/funi dub are canon to me.

Everything else isn't as good, and is terrible.

Classic Funimation/ Ocean DBZ FTW!

Since this was the earliest introduction a western fan could get, real OG fans know this is the original for westerners.

Internet was still in it's infancy back then, so there was no access to the Japanese version, unless you lived/ visited there.

Plus manga... I don't think it got printed in the west until after the show, furthermore who even knew manga or whatever existed back in like 95?
Realistically not many did.

No offense but, that's kinda dumb, like I understand liking the funi/ocean dub more then the JPN version and even the real og, the manga, but to to say that only a dub of an adaptation of a manga is canon, is a bit ridiculous.
Yeah, no. There was ways people could find out, or even watch the original, like anime labs (which were wildly inaccurate tbf), manga reviews and even this website. Also someone can correct me if I'm way off, but the popular opinion on the internet was that the dub sucked and the JPN version ruled, for a pretty long time.

[SuperSaiyanBatman]

I don't think Goku is as bad a dad given the crappy situations he constantly gets put in due to his heritage and place as the strongest guy on Earth.

I like Super a lot, haven't seen the new movies (Or a lot of the middle ones before Broly, I should get on them some day...)
Mostly because I'm just trying to have a good time with it and the way I am, I just want to enjoy things while real life stuff sucks. Anyway...

I dunno if unpopular per-se, but I think DBE's costume design for Goku's Gi's and Piccolo's outfits are the best parts of the movie, though I do wonder why Piccolo doesn't have the demon Kanji incorporated anywhere on him, other than Goku's Gi's the most important instance of that and well, yeah I guess.

Hey bro, its just my opinion, doesn't need to meet a requirement of smart or dumb.
I dont know man growing up with the show, no one in grade school spoke about manga or knew what manga was... high school different story.
Back in those days you could't get an accurate japanese translation if your life depended on it, internet was still a baby bro, even funimation, the pros couldn't translate it accurately, "westernizing" it or not. Plenty of honest translation errors existed as well. I highly doubt the Japanese version ruled back then, before even a forum for it really existed, lol. 1996 bro.. think back.

Okay ? I didn't really bring up manga in my post, just that some may have read online reviews of it.

So ? You could still watch it. I even said that stuff like anime labs were shit.

It really did

"Sabitsuita Machine Gun De Ima Wo Uchinuko" is the worst Japanese OP or ED theme the Dragon Ball franchise ever got pre Kai/BOG (I'm not saying post Kai/BOG music is bad mind you). Granted, it wasn't horrible, but it was "meh", something that doesn't apply to the other ED themes and the OP themes DB, DBZ and DBGT had.

Fight it out/Never give up should have been the only themes Boo Kai had...so that Kuu Zen Zetsu Go could be Dragon Ball Super's OP theme (Chozetsu Dynamic is "meh")

[ABED]

"Sabitsuita Machine Gun De Ima Wo Uchinuko" is the worst Japanese OP or ED theme the Dragon Ball franchise ever got pre Kai/BOG

Which theme is that?

[Cure Dragon 255]

Yeah, this isnt the complaint thread, we dont even know if other people even like... "Sabitsuita Machine Gun De Ima Wo Uchinuko" seriously.

Um, this is the unpopular opinions so it does have to meet those requirements. But your opinion is pretty unpopular so I say good day sir!

EDIT:The requirement of being unpopular.Not dumb or anything like that. Didnt mean to say that.

GT's 4th/final ending theme.

[TheAldella]

I love that one though!

[Ozotto]

I consider these things canon...
Goku's father is a genius scientist.
Also Bardock & Vegeta annihilated Kane & Kodos species from Rigel 7.

#Ocean dub

But Bardock's already been shown to be a low class Saiyan warrior. I could understand if someone believed it if there wasn't any material with him in it already but we've already gotten a tv special and a manga with him in it.

[Saikyo no Senshi]

- I hate the entire FUNI cast. The Ocean Group is a lot better.
- Sean Schemmel and Stephanie Nadolny are the worst VA of Gokuu. It's hard to pick who is worse but if a gun is put to my head i would pick Schemmel.
- GT> Super
- I don't know if this is unpopular or not but Vegeta in the Cell arc is the most annoying character in the entire series.
- Yamcha is an interesting character but wasted potential. The Yamcha memes and jokes can FUCK OFF!
- I hate the DB/DBZ split. It is cause of this some fans skip the first half of the series by calling it a prequel. The word "prequel" and "Z" irritates me the most.
- Vegeta/Blooma relationship is the one i hate most.
- The new material(Kai, BOG,ROF & Super) have ruined the franchise.

The Portuguese dub (from Portugal) had the most charismatic voices, but then it would be unpopular, because it's nostalgia speaking.

[Cure Dragon 255]

I think that's true to some extent...its the other stuff that sinks the Portuguese dub like Translations, Ad libbed jokes and stuff like that.

[gogeta97]

I consider these things canon...
Goku's father is a genius scientist.

But...why? Unless I'm missing something there is literally nothing outside of Vegeta's one line in the Ocean dub to support this.

[ekrolo2]

I'm not crazy about SS2s design. I think it, while having some obvious elements of its own, is too similar to SS1. Say what you will about the other forms, but you can't mistake 3 for 1 or 4 for 2 or Red God for Blue God. Note, this is more of an animation complaint but I still think if Toriyama made the core design more distinct, we wouldn't have the animation screw it up so often.

[Lunatic Fringe]

I don't mind Schemmel's North Kai voice at all.
