Yes that was great to see.also,after the Saiyan Arc it was Krillin only Who came up with the idea of going to Namek and When they were on Namek he was like a mentor to gohan and telling him to Suppress his Ki whenever they were hiding and all.Krillin1994 wrote:If anything as well it's very cool seeing Krillin actually being the de facto leader of the gang for a while
I prefer Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, DB/Z/GT Movies, Dragon Ball Super and Dragon Ball GT in Japanese.
For DBZ Kai and two new Movies I like both Dub and Sub. I Prefer Shunsuke Kikuchi Soundtracks over All other Composers.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Krillin is awesome and doesn't get the due commendation he deserves from certain factions of the fan base, even if they haven't seen DB he still did a lot in Z for reasons you said like on Namek but people just see him as a loser who dies all the time, it is annoying.Ripper 30 wrote:Yes that was great to see.also,after the Saiyan Arc it was Krillin only Who came up with the idea of going to Namek and When they were on Namek he was like a mentor to gohan and telling him to Suppress his Ki whenever they were hiding and all.Krillin1994 wrote:If anything as well it's very cool seeing Krillin actually being the de facto leader of the gang for a while

He also saved that family from Cell.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I like Coola and I think the concept of Freeza having a brother is better than having a father that just served to humiliated with his son by the new introduced character. Even though people says he's just like Freeza, I don't see that way, Coola is more respectful with his army and seems to be a bit smarter than Freeza.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Doesn't Cooler basically boil down to "I'm not as soft as my brother! I'm cooler" and "I am the real strongest guy in the universe. You beat my brother but you're no match for me!... *proceeds to get rekt by Goku*".
He acts like how a Vegeta and Freeza fusion would.
He's still pretty cool though.

Cooler had a lot of potential but his movies were only like 40 minutes and he didn't even start fighting till the tail-end of his first movie.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I think he'd have potential if he weren't so redundant, but he's so obviously just a subtly tweaked Freeza clone that his concept is boring.precita wrote:Cooler had a lot of potential but his movies were only like 40 minutes and he didn't even start fighting till the tail-end of his first movie.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
After rewatching Dragon Ball again, I started to think the reveal that Goku is an alien kind of takes away from some senses of accomplishments in the OG Dragon Ball sections. I mean, I know that alien shit aside, Goku was a hard and driven fighter and that was the key to him being such a strong fighter. But sometimes it feels like "Oh, he's a saiyan, of course he can do that"

I liked GT Goten. His design, his personality, his haircut, everything. I consider it to be the best version of Goten.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
You're right in a way Goku being retconned into being a Saiyan could have made his achievements less valid than they were. But, they aren't all of what Goku had achieved was still all of his own effort. He did start out far stronger than the average human, he was trained by Grandpa Gohan, but he only ever learned the very basics from him.Kanassa wrote:After rewatching Dragon Ball again, I started to think the reveal that Goku is an alien kind of takes away from some senses of accomplishments in the OG Dragon Ball sections.

Regardless, in the end that amazing strength would never have gotten to the heights that he did if he never did anything with that strength. Of course in Early Dragon Ball Goku was an amazing prodigy as well.
Re: Unpopular DB opinions
The reveal makes his accomplishments from part 2 seem even more impressive (and plus, Piccolo was an alien too, so his two biggest achievements in part 1 aren't negated), so that balances it out. I like it as a way to turn things on its head, Goku was always seen as special even in part 1, they constantly made reference to the fact that he had a monkey tail, wasn't normal and was a prodigy. Part 2 comes along and tells us Goku is a piece of trash.Kanassa wrote:After rewatching Dragon Ball again, I started to think the reveal that Goku is an alien kind of takes away from some senses of accomplishments in the OG Dragon Ball sections.

He's trash from a race of extremely strong people by earth standards, Raditz was also weak trash but he still stomped Goku and Piccolo.Doctor. wrote:The reveal makes his accomplishments from part 2 seem even more impressive (and plus, Piccolo was an alien too, so his two biggest achievements in part 1 aren't negated), so that balances it out.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I really don't find TFS very funny, they have few funny bits but it's mostly hit or miss for me. I really confuses me that it's considered comedy gold , but then again comedy is subjective.

Goku being that dumb never got me invested in the thing, after the bit with super, a canon material also overblowing his naïve nature I developed a strong dislike for anything where goku is acting like a total fool..
So Yeah, as of right now, not too good of deal, but every other character interaction is mostly wonderful

Recently, TFS got a irl-copyright strike from a Toei rep. and they posted about it. Their fanboys proceeded to lash out at Toei on Twitter :/
At least Lani apologized.
