Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Time for my unpopular opinion: the better group Kamehameha was in The World's Strongest and not Broly- Second Coming. It was with Goku, Roshi and Krillin and not Goku, Gohan and Goten.
Seeing the world as neutral is a gift; then you see the most beauty.

Dragon Ball isn't complicated, and it never was is what I meant.
It's not something filled with symbolism or deep philosophical meanings, it's just meant to be a simple adventure. (and that's not a bad thing)
Discussing power levels, favorite characters and ways the show could improve is one thing. I actually DO think criticism is okay, but I don't think the show is or will go in the direction many think and are hoping it's going in, and I think people are going crazy over nothing and taking very minor things too seriously.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
The dialog is attrocious. It isn't always. It depends on what era we are discussing, but the dialog is bad more often than not and usually saved simply by good actors.Dbzfan94 wrote:Come on, it's not that bad.

Evil Angel and A Righteous Devil? It's the best ED Super's put out so far. It even works thematically with the types of fights Super has. Who doesn't like it and why not?dbs fanboy wrote:I kinda liked the new ending's theme song...........

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
This is something that annoys me. When most people say "kid show", the mostly mean, a simple show.Dbzfan94 wrote:Why does it being a kid's show "protect" it from criticism or analysis?Colgatetoothpasteyum wrote:over-analyze a kids show more in my life
I also find it funny that most of the people who say "we can't you criticize a kid show" are mostly adults.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I wouldn't criticize a kids' show at the same level as a show for adults. By their nature, kids' shows are less sophisticated.

The song is absolutely fine, but the visual aspect of the ending was a rushed job, and the revision still doesn't time well with the song.LuckyCat wrote:Evil Angel and A Righteous Devil?

Agreed, it's my favorite by a good margin. And to add to that as another opinion, I like the animation for the ending quite a bit. It's visually appealing.dbs fanboy wrote:I kinda liked the new ending's theme song...........
Also, is there a link to the eighth ending somewhere?

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Same! I think it is because it is not in your face as Yoka Dance. I think it is interesting, a rock-y opening and a pop-y ending, nice contrast! If the visual accompanying the new ED fit the song then that would be great, I have never understood the notion of when people say X music is not fitting for DB, if used correctly I think anything can work with DB.dbs fanboy wrote:No, not the current one, i mean the new one, i kinda like it.......

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Man never knew you wanted Goku to be a music video. Anyway Super Goku was the absolute logical conclusion for Goku, a selfish asshole who loves his family becoming an even bigger selfish asshole who loves his family. And besides that I am incredibly annoyed that there's this big idea going around that Super Goku is an imbecile.DBZAOTA482 wrote:Post-Boo Saga Goku would be more like this:Gog wrote:That's a lie and you know it.
