I heard someone say that the physical characteristics of a Super Saiyan is racially insensitive.

That Vegeta has a M on his head in the Buu Saga because he's married.
That sounds great! Cheaper than wedding ring, showing all chicks that this guy is out of the game... HOOOONEY!

Some idiot tried to convince a bunch of people that the Super Saiyans and Cell weren't Planet Busters just because they never actually destroyed a planet.

He said the only planet busters in all of DBZ were Frieza and Buu because they were the only one's who were actually seen blowing up planets....
*In the end, he was infracted

One Dragon Ball fan that I know thought Goku was a bigger icon then James Bond, Godzilla, Batman, and Superman worldwide. And that Dragon Ball is more popular then Spider-Man, X-Men, Spawn, and Transformers.
While Dragon Ball does have a lot of fans and is pretty popular with non fans, the series is nowehre on the same popularity level as Spider-Man or Transformers.

Superheros like Batman, Superman, Spider-Man, Spawn, and The X-Men are more iconic and have bigger fanbase then Dragon Ball does. I don't think a lot of people will look at Goku, the same way they do with Superman or Batman.

Correct. Well, possibly in Japan, but not on a worldwide base.

Spawn is one of the most popular independant comic book characters and is the second indy superhero that have over 200 issues. His comics (Issue #1 sold 1.7 million copies, making it the bestselling independent comic book of its time) and huge toy merchandise have sold millions world wide, and has entire company built from his image. His comics still sell well today since Issue #200 was the 4th selling book in January 2011. The 1997 movie has gross more than $80 million internationally, better then DBE did at the box office.
I would say his fan base is just big or if not bigger as DB.

DBE is an abomination though, and hardly a good representative of the DB franchise.

Coola is as strong as Cell and Broly can kill Majin Buu. I have been absent a couple of months so I don't know what kind of drugs have been around Dragonball community cause contrary to the old days when only fanboys believed in such things now there are actually people who believe they have evidence for such things. It is really sad to read about it.

I'll second this. Especially when it's a discussion about characters from different universes that have no business fighting each other, ever.

But yeah, just not a battle power/strength comparison fan in general, they always seem to get out of hand.

Recently a kid wanted to add me on youtube and asked "who do you think would win in a fight gogeta or frieza and king cold combined?"
...Not the craziest thing I've heard however it struck me as crazy but not surprising coming from a 10 year old who worships GT.

Craziest thing I've heard a dragon ball fan say? What about all those youtube videos about "top 10 DBZ villains!" that put Broli ahead of Freeza, Cell, Buu, ect....

Let's see...
I've seen kids on YouTube say Naruto characters stand a chance against Super Saiyans.

I have no idea what Spawn even is, nor do I know anyone that likes it, as far as I'm aware. Hell, this
might've been the first I've heard of it.
I wonder if I've been living under some sort of rock.
