Are we too old to enjoy new Dragon Ball movies/series?

Guys, I'm going to be straight with you. If you feel the show has gotten 'silly' ... it hasn't. You're just 'too old for this shit'. Seriously, 95% of the people in those boards do not fit the target demographic of the show, so don't expect the show to be 'everything you hoped for'. I'm referring to the people here who expect Super to be rich with dark moments, serious storytelling, meaningful characters etc etc. It won't. It's a show for kids. A show for kids being kids. Everyone in those boards has a manchild in him/her, clamoring to get out, and that's fine. But having unrealistic expectations (such as believing the show grew up alongside you) is naïve at best. Honestly, do you take seriously a story where the supposed God of Destruction halts his urges to blow up stuff in order to eat ice cream sundae? That's the show's silliness at full force, take it for what it is. The show hasn't matured one bit, so don't expect it too. Again, I'm not saying that's a bad thing. I'm saying *that* is DB and always will be.

Dr. Rota... Never will understand the need of this character.
It was a goof about the number of gimmick fighters that had shown up in the tournament up to that point. It must have gone down well, he became a bit of a meme afterward. And then Toyotaro had to go and explain the joke in his version. People call him the next successor to Toriyama, do me a favour...
And speaking of inferior versions, what was up with Top's VA tonight? I had hopes for the big Destroyer scene, but why did he have to sound like he went and smoked 12 cigars? He sounded like edgelord Randy Savage. He should have been screaming "HOOOGAAN" when he charged Freeza at the end.
No comments about episodes the last month. Most people probably watched subbed already. I’m really enjoying it! Only 4 left in U7 vs Top and Jiren. So hard to wait!

It's probably more what other people have said, which is if there's nothing to complain about, a thread will have little to no new posts. So, the dub must be doing well, since no one's been "ree"ing here in a bit.
The epic tale of how Sean Schemmel blocked me on Twitter:
I tagged him in a thread explaining how his performance wasn't rerecorded when FUNi were redoing parts of the early Z dub for the Orange Bricks.
He thought I was misrepresenting his work by saying he wasn't in something he was in.
I explained how that wasn't the situation & did a bit of a sarcastic kinda thing involving the rerecordings FUNi did for the Z dub to show how stupid that was.
He said they didn't record him & not use his recordings.
Blocked & he deleted his response tweets to me.
???
Profit...?
Yes you’re right. That’s usually the way it goes. I tape the episodes and watch them in the morning, but has anyone realized the next episode previews are not always shown?

I mean, Toonami usually edits together their own shorter ones with TOM narrating them, so that shouldn't surprise anyone.

Killa's voice is not racist. It's goofy and nothing more. Even though I think Nam's English voice is fine THAT would be a reason to pause for concern not Killa's because Caucasian's suffer from incomprehensible speech as well. With that said I can't wait to hear Town's voice actor again. English Tien was always good and nailed "Tri Beam" every time.
Bump
You still wanna hide behind this logic after the scandal that just happened?

What scandal?
From what little I know it apparently involves Sean and Sabat saying some controversial things in an outtake for DBS.
I believe that it was actually done during the early DBZ era.
Yes, exactly. You can tell since Sabat is still Mr. Popo and Guru, and he still does the Scott McNeil impression for Piccolo, placing this as early as 2000 or something.

isn't this like the Kenji Scandal??
Last I checked, doing bloopers off-set and keeping them private only to have them hacked and leaked by losers who never leave their rooms is pretty different from copying the music of famous artists and film composers and passing it off as your own.

Not even remotely. Kenji Yamamoto knowingly ripped off both older music & contemporary music, both regular songs & OSTs, for his soundtrack for Kai which lead to his termination & his soundtrack being replaced.
THIS is someone leaking from FUNimation's servers outtakes of jokes stuff that were never meant to be released from almost 2 decades ago in an attempt to get actors fired or the license stripped from FUNi because they hate that they fired Vic Mignogna. It's a completely different situation entirely.

So, the latest dub episode aired. Did anyone else feel like they might have been phoning it in a little, especially Schemmel? I dunno, it just felt....off.....
They still did a fantastic job, but it lacked energy. Maybe I was thinking too much.
Looking for these rare items/information:
Any information or recordings pertaining to Dragon Ball Z's syndicated run on WAWB
Any information regarding the stations that carried the origin Dragon Ball in the USA
Dragon Box (any deals would be nice)
Shonen Jumps with Dragon Ball in them

Haven’t seen it, but I do know that the comments section for the clips of the dub that get posted on YouTube won’t be pretty.

I don't want to think about that.
