Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Another thing about the future Trunks manga arc that I didn't like. The amount of info dumps, my god there's just so much of them, that I'd wish they would stop. Also the pacing feels a bit too fast

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
That's something I never liked about the manga. For some reason, I don't feel this way with the anime, but the manga is insanely rushed and incredibly fast paced. I don't like the "get out of the boring story stuff and into the fights" mindset it has, at least earlier on.Gog wrote:Also the pacing feels a bit too fast
The manga is still enjoyable, though. I just prefer the anime by a vast margin.
Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I'd dare say that it doesn't even feel natural, the amount of explaining they do, also how Bulma refereed to Freeza as Golden Freeza, just irks me to no end.Anime Kitten wrote:That's something I never liked about the manga.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
The anime staff are entertaining writers but not particularly good ones. Toyotaro is a good editor but a really, really mediocre story-teller. Toriyama.... needs to go the fuck away.
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
I think Cooler's Revenge and the first Broly movie should be made canon.
Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Toriyama doesn't need to go the fuck away, he has to provide the plot outlines. Also I wish that the Anime Staff and Toyotaro fused together, to form the best storytellerekrolo2 wrote:The anime staff are entertaining writers but not particularly good ones.

Because Toriyama is the natural prey of a wild Ekrolo2, he needs to go the fuck away so he can hunt him.Noah wrote:Why?ekrolo2 wrote: Toriyama.... needs to go the fuck away.

Re: Unpopular DB oqpinions
Fans should stop asking the anime to pander to them in giving other characters more screentime, this is a Goku show and it should stay that way.
Dragon Ball was always a kid series and fans should stop being in denial.
Re: Unpopular DB oqpinions
Honestly I don't even understand the reason why some reason want other characters to become the main character. and replace him. Because I literally cannot imagine Goku not being the main characterNeo-Makaiōshin wrote:Fans should stop asking the anime to pander to them in giving other characters more screentime, this is a Goku show and it should stay that way.

Re: Unpopular DB oqpinions
DBZ's story before the Buu saga was essentially building up Gohan to be that, so I don't see any issue with that per se. Although, after Buu saga essentially screwed all of that character progression and Cell Saga's finale, I wouldn't dream of asking for another character to replace Goku at this point.Gog wrote:Honestly I don't even understand the reason why some reason want other characters to become the main character. and replace him.

Just not possible as they already missed their chance to do it properly.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
The only good thing he's written after Namek is Battle of Gods and he hijacked that from another writer. F was on par with the Force Awakens in how much of a vacuous waste of potential it is. The U6 arc is so average it barely warrants mention and the Black arc just doesn't work by the end.Noah wrote:Why?ekrolo2 wrote: Toriyama.... needs to go the fuck away.
He's either too vague about what he wants to happen in the actual stories (Goku is ten times stronger than Vegeta, how does this happen? Fuck if I know!") can't make up his damn mind about how Goku and Vegeta's damn powers work (first he wants Base and Super Saiyan only, then he replaces SS with Blue, but then he decides he doesn't want Goku and Vegeta to be close to Beerus and retcons their abilities, also, Super Saiyan 1,2 and 3 are back again! SSGod too for the manga!) or limiting to the writers (Gohan constantly flip flopping between wanting to fight and not caring in the anime is a fine example of this).
He's also the one who's retconned Vegeta into being an annoying little shit about Goku being stronger than him AND he's the guy who's to blame for Goku being written as a total jackass in the new stuff.

Complete nitpicking, I cannot argue against that, it just irks me, it's like referring to Goku as Blue GokuThe gr wrote:That is just nitpicking GogGog wrote:

Golden Freeza refers that as a title, but he is still Freeza, it also just sounds odd.The gr wrote:I'm pretty sure frieza refers himself as golden frieza so Bulma call him like thatGog wrote:Complete nitpicking, I cannot argue against that, it just irks me, it's like referring to Goku as Blue GokuThe gr wrote: That is just nitpicking Gog
Re: Unpopular DB opinions
The only way I'd let him write anything is he had another, competent writer to bounce off of and an editor to reign him in, cause he cannot work on his own anymore, he can't. The way how he flip flops around how his own protagonists abilities work is a good example of this. FFS, I wouldn't be surprised if Toriyama woke up one day, saw his drawing of SS4 Goku on a GT box set in his house or something then decided "This looks cool! Let's put it in!"The gr wrote:So is toriyama fault for fucking up the DBS anime and manga for his vague outline I just wish toriyama wrote his damn manga like toyble is the artist, meanwhile toriyama is the writer
The screams of Alderan explodings/dying wouldn't compare to the collective, soul-crushing groan of the Super anime staff & Toyotaro.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Not all editors are created equal, Toriyama worked fine with them beforehand and it can get done again. As long as the editor gives input like "Uh boss, you bringing back the golden line of Super Saiyan is fucking stupid, don't do that." and not "This Hit guy looks boring, give him a transformation!".Gog wrote:Ekrolo2 have you not forgotten what the editors did to the Cell Arc?ekrolo2 wrote:The only way I'd let him write anything is he had another, competent writer to bounce off of and an editor to reign him in, cause he cannot work on his own anymore, he can't.The gr wrote:So is toriyama fault for fucking up the DBS anime and manga for his vague outline I just wish toriyama wrote his damn manga like toyble is the artist, meanwhile toriyama is the writer
