Can't stand how completely dumb this shit is, straight to unfunny gags and the Kaioshin thinking something is wrong, yeah no shit everyone already told you the guy is a straight up villain, such trash writing and I don't use the word trash lightly.

I just hope it doesn't end on a cliffhanger to a Special Chapter (unless it's an Uub chapter)

Yes, it really makes sense how the best fighters of the multiverse had to compete to have the chance to make a wish (or three, yes), and then a random cook strolls by and gets a wish too.

Pros:
+It's set after the end of Z.
+More often than not it's well drawn.
+Any what-if scenario is presented here.

Cons:
-It's far too long.
-All build up, zero pay off.
-Too many cutaways from the main event.

I always recommend bingereading a fan comic to form our own opinion. At this point the longest fan comics would only take a few hours to bingeread. There's a lot of fanwork out there so the pros and cons for one fan might not apply to someone else. It's up to individual fan to decide if the story is worth their time or if it's not worth it and they should use that time for a different story.

The series loves to fan wank its own OC. Like Son Bra being this hungry powerful woman that is so selfish that she cared more about being stronger than Gohan rather then the people who killed on that one planet. They try to add some serious drama stuff with Vegito's family, which is so dumb. Some DB fans feel like they need to have the series be more serious and more dramatic when it doesn't need to be.

If you're going to put in the effort to create something, you might as well enjoy the thing you're creating. I don't think DBM is particularly great, either, but it isn't pretending to be anything more than what it is.

There's a video on YouTube called Dragonball zeta that adds more character development to all the characters without changing the flow of the stroy. Salagir would have benefited from that video when the comic started.

It's a great "what if" scenario.

BUT

Pros:
- nice "what if" fights like Dabura vs Cell
- it's drawn nicely
- it goes beyond the end of Z

Cons:
- bad writing outside the fights
- no pay off story wise
- drags too much

Extra pros:
- "what if" universes, for example Kakarotto that is just plain evil and mad because his head is "healthy"
- it's for free

Extra cons:
- special chapters are boring and most of the time drawn ugly
- too much special chapters about literally NOTHING that is worth a damn
- Bra (U16)
- it's eDgY

The humor is a hit or miss.

The premise is great. The execution is laughable just like Super, GT and Daima.

I still like the Super Buu special the most because it feels like believable to happen in universe. Super Buu would have no reason to blow up the Earth knowing that no one can stop him. Also, he knows that the Dragon Balls can't remove them out of their body as Shenlong would need his consent.

I always hated King Cold's final form. They try way too hard to give it the Xenomorph Queen design, and it just comes off as ugly as sin.

These villains know they're going to die immediately, right? lol

I mean, Nappa? Really? Did you miss all the fights with the god-tier fighters?

XXI did talk about powering up the villains in the previous chapter, but if he actually did do that isn't yet clear.
