In the manga, Cell had already ordered the Cell jrs to kill them off before #16's head lands and there is no speech interrupted by it. In fact, Cell orders their death in two different panels before #16 head lands. Cell might have looked to #16's head after that but there is no reason for the Cell Jrs to disregard the order that they had just been given and pause.LuckyCat wrote: Android #16's head literally lands in mid-speech with Cell. He's in the middle of saying 殺せ!(korose means "kill!") but the interruption makes that break off having him only say "koros-". The only reason why people are interested in #16 at all is that he's flung in-between Gohan and Cell. And like you said, #16 just tried to kill Cell a moment ago, so it's not odd at all that Cell would be curious what #16 was up to.

Black looks better with the golden SS than with Rose.
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.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
If you think about it, Buu saga very similar to a typical fanfic. Many years have passed since the last saga, seemingly ridiculous changes in the status quo, Marty Suy-ish characters, VERY absurd new techniques (Fusion), villains with lack of decent motivation and so on. Don't get me wrong, it's my least favorite saga in Z, excluding Cell saga, but it was enjoyable and somewhat strange experience.

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.

I probably incorrectly expressed. Not a "decent" motivation but the presence of motivation. Buu didn't have one.ABED wrote:What's a decent motivation for a villain?villains with lack of decent motivation and so on

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Mentioned this another thread but Kelamis' performance as Goku is severely overrated, yes that ONE scream was reminscent of Nozawa but the rest of performance was not. Struggling to find clips that aren't from that scene, the rest of the work is what I'd consider forgettable some of grunts and screams were pretty awful and his regular non screaming voice sounds nothing like Nozawa just sounds like a Corlett impression.
Hell I'd class Marrow above Kelamis. I'm not being fooled by one albeit great scream in one scene. I suppose one could argue with the right direction etc he could very well be as close to the Japanese Goku as a dub could get but that's all if's but's and maybe's.

Ian James Corlette is the definitive Goku.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
His performance as Goku was awful though for the most part have you heard some of his grunts and screams in the Cell arc? One scene doesn't make his entire performance as Goku less crap.Doctor. wrote:It's not that Kelamis is exceptional, it's just that everyone else is crappier.Baggie_Saiyan wrote:Mentioned this another thread but Kelamis' performance as Goku is severely overrated, yes that ONE scream was reminscent of Nozawa but the rest of performance was not.

I don't think his entire performance was crap, it was decent.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Corlette is a fantastic actor, but a little flat as Goku, Kelamis is terrible but has great screams, Morrow is bland and unmemorable, and Schemmel took a little time, but he's great as Goku. This is unpopular but Schemmel was a breath of fresh air from the beginning after 20 plus episodes of Kelamis.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I don't know how unpopular this is but I'd like for Steve Blum to get another chance at voicing Goku in something while we're on the subject of his English VAs.

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.

Yeah, I prefer the SS look for him as well. If colored right, it could look beautiful on-screen. If the white transformation's the same as it was in the anime, then I personally wouldn't want it. I don't like how the anime just made his hair plain white without much to go with it. It could've been a lot more with effects scattered around it.kinisking wrote:I agree.
