A DB topic I'm particularly fond of: The Evil Smile

Post by Amigo Ten » Thu Jul 23, 2009 7:06 pm

Because this series had quite a few of them. I've talked a couple times what what the best evil smile in the series would be, and it's usually something from Freeza. But personally, I used to think Super Buu various grins and laughs were best. And they are great, but recently I was going through it all again and I saw this:

Best in the series, with any one of these coming second:

Y'know, if you put the first 2 Boo images side by side, you could come to some very rude conclusions.

Super Buu is a fucking nutcase :lol:
Yamcha: Do you remember the spell to release him - do you know all the words?
Bulma: Of course! I'm not gonna pull a Frieza and screw it up!
Master Roshi: Bulma, I think Frieza failed because he wore too many clothes!

Indeed. His big, flat, rubbery, ridiculously expressive face is a major part of why I like him so much.

I love the one Cell gives Gohan before he fires his ultimate kamehameha.

I'm in the generation of fans that started with Toonami, so I totally empathize with the feeling of having "missed the party", experiencing disappointment, and wanting to experience it myself. But I can't, that's how life is. Time is a bitch. The party is over. Kageyama, Kikuchi, and Maeda are off the sauce now; Yanami almost OD'd; Yamamoto got arrested; Toriyama's not going to light trash cans on fire and hang from the chandelier anymore. We can't get the band back together, and even if we could, everyone's either old, in poor health, or calmed way the fuck down. Best we're going to get, and are getting, is a party that's almost entirely devoid of the magic that made the original one so awesome that we even want more.

Bleach has the tendency to make the "evil smile" look all the more maniacal.

I think Cell's best one is during the Kamehameha struggle.

He really looks like he's enjoying himself.

Super Buu is just so awesome. End-O-Story.

I'm quite the fan of this one, honestly. Not exactly what you'd call evil, but it's definitely cocky as fuck. I'd say that's grounds for posting it.

You make a topic about evil grins and you don't include Majin Vegeta at the World Tournment? What is wrong with you?

Oh yeah, that one. Well, it only happened in the anime, which I haven't ever really watched. Seen most episodes once, but it doesn't really stick in my mind.

Although another anime only one did. It was from Super Buu (again), at the instant he starts stretching before filling that guy up. It's great. Got a gif of it somewhere...

That would be Movie 12, as he reintroduces himself to Freezy-Pop.

Also, is that particular screenshot from the Double Features, or the Dragon Box?

I was JUST about to say, I can't believe the Majin Vegeta grin hasn't been included yet.

I can't think of any show, animated or live, that does em better.

Well, maybe Doctor Who. OR Heroes, what with Sylar and all.

But my point kinda still stands.
