That's not what I had trouble with. A Kindergartener could understand it.

Given that Viz chose to romanize Goku's Saiyan name as Kakkarot, Vegerot was the correct way for them to amalgamate the two names.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
In light of recent news...
I'm just about completely satisfied with the Xenoverse 2 roster right now. My only gripe is no Base Tween Gohan, which is another unpopular opinion in and of itself.

I feel strange talking about these games, since I can't justify spending any money to play them.Anime Kitten wrote:In light of recent news...

That being said, I'm pretty neutral, since I'd just play with my own character anyway.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Viz is relevant, perhaps even more relevant since he was talking about Viz, even if you weren't, and at least a great deal of the discussion from the start was about Viz.ABED wrote:Forget about Viz, this isn't about the manga. It's not even about the original work.
Well, I tend to think that no one is so "good" that he/she can't possibly make a mistake, misunderstand something or fail to understand something (even if it's not really complex). I've had plenty of brain farts and I've seen plenty of very smart people being incredibly stupid, so why would I? In the same way, I wouldn't imply that someone was at kindergarden level if he/she failed to understand the logic behind something like that at first.That's not what I had trouble with. A Kindergartener could understand it.
And, just saying, maybe you shouldn't presume people are doing that to you. I mean, instead you could have just asked why I was explaining to you how Vegerot and Vegetto work when you were actually talking about the anime and the use of Vegito, and I would respond that I thought you were talking about Vegerot/Vegetto and you were misunderstanding it. That way, things would have been clarified sooner and there wouldn't have been a need for any spirited response... Anyway, just saying. Like I said, I don't take internet talk seriously and in any case, this back and forth has lasted long enough and the issue doesn't even matter.

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Not the one between us. I said the dub should just use Gogeta. I was clear that it was about the dub. It would make no sense that I bring up Vegito when Viz doesn't use that name or spelling.This whole conversation was about Viz from the beginning.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
It just seems weird though. I mean the base form is basically just a recolor of his super saiyan hair.

Filler or not, the Gohan VS Vegeta fight during the end of the Goku VS Freeza fight was unnecessary. (Unpopular because it's never spoken of.)

Why not? It honestly seems in character for both of them.

The same reason I dislike Androids Saga Vegeta's personality; he learned nothing from being killed by Freeza.kinisking wrote:Why not? It honestly seems in character for both of them. Although it's weird as hell that Gohan's completely fine with him in like the next episode.
Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Fair enough. I always liked that filler though. Vegeta backing away from gohan because of Piccolo was well done and gave Piccolo some badass points.Anime Kitten wrote:The same reason I dislike Androids Saga Vegeta's personality; he learned nothing from being killed by Freeza.kinisking wrote:Why not?

Also my own unpopular opinion. Yamcha, Gohan, and ESPECIALLY krillin jokes are boring, repetitive, and rarely fair to the character. Also surprised that there aren't more vegeta jokes.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Eh, I get a good laugh from them. The Goku, Freeza, Broly, etc jokes aren't fair to them either, but they're still enjoyable IMO. Doesn't mean I have to hate on the character or anything.kinisking wrote:Yamcha, Gohan, and ESPECIALLY krillin jokes are boring, repetitive, and rarely fair to the character.
Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I'm sorry but what Freeza, Broly jokes? And also you're talking about the Goku as a father one right? At least that has a lot of truth to it. But even then most of the Goku, krillin, Gohan and Yamcha jokes are really similar so it isn't even remotely funny anymore. Krillin jokes imo are also the least fair. I mean piccolo has died pretty much the same amount of times at this point. If you're not going to be fair, at least be funny. But they aren't a lot of the time.Anime Kitten wrote:Eh, I get a good laugh from them. The Goku, Freeza, Broly, etc jokes aren't fair to them either, but they're still enjoyable IMO.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Humor is never about fairness. It's always at the expense of something, whether it's a situation, a coincidence, a person, a character, etc.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Sure, humor undercuts things, but I think his point about fairness is he's not deserving of being undercut to the extent that he is. If someone is going to laugh at Kuririn for dying a lot, how come he's singled out and Piccolo isn't?rereboy wrote:Humor is never about fairness.

It wasn't a learning moment. It was live by the sword, die by the sword. Vegeta progressed, just not in the way you had hoped. I liked his development. It was slow, but made sense.The same reason I dislike Androids Saga Vegeta's personality; he learned nothing from being killed by Freeza.
Vegeta flew away at the end of the previous episode, but is curiously leaning on a tree in the very next. I get that in order to get the episodes animated in time to air, the episodes had to be farmed out to different animators, but it seems like even the writing was farmed out and the left hand not talking to the right.Although it's weird as hell that Gohan's completely fine with him in like the next episode.
