Sorry for being nitpicky, but it's just a pet peeve of mine whenever anyone does it. It's Looney Tunes not Toons. But, yeah, that fight was somewhat underwhelming. I'm not sure if I can really complain about it because I never got the impression it was supposed to be anything more than a throwback to both the Red Ribbon Arc and to Tenshinhan and Chaozu's past. It did leave me wanting more. Maybe him beating Tenshinhan and moving on to Goku would have been best, but, on the other hand, maybe that was the route that everyone expected, given the lineup.

Grrrrr.....yeah, I'd appreciate it if you didn't do that. I've been called "stupid" and cussed out on another forum today, so I'm kind of tired of these sort of things. Sorry to take it out on you, but volatile arguments with people you can't see and beat up have a way of sticking on the mind.

To the topic, I also hated the filler fight between the Ginyu Force and everybody on North Kaio's planet. We all know Yamcha could never beat Reacoom. :lol:

Neither of them are more idiotic or psychopathic than each other. They're both arrogant jerks who play around with their opponent and then don't realize how much shit they're in until they're drowning in it.

Anything that lasts more than 3 consecutive episodes is horrible, to me
Oh, you think the Grand Tour is your ally, you merely stepped into the Grand Tour. I was born in it, moulded by it. I didn’t see the Super until I was already a man; by then, it was nothing to me but blinding!

Sure Vegeta is. As I said, Vegeta has a history of not only "playing around" but both passively and actively helping the villains achieve their goals. Gotenks never did that.

Well, he kinda helped Super Buu defeat Gohan by allowing Buu to absorb him I guess.

That's Vegeta for ya. There's always been something wrong with this guy. :lol:

One of my least favorite fights is Goku vs 19 with him having zero assistance and it finally resulting in Vegeta having to save him while he and Piccolo continue to treat a severly ill Goku like trash. It's sickening.

The animation wasn't really sunshine either, I guess.

That was my favorite part of the whole fight. Vegeta just kicks Goku and Piccolo catches him uncaring ease. It was awesome.

That was Piccolo saying "Yeah, I'm not that much of a softie yet." It is important to note, however, that Piccolo did not drop him afterwards, but proceeded to carefully lower Goku to the ground. See? He cared.
Although, I also thought he acted a bit too cold towards Goku, especially considering he was about to jump in to save him.

Depends on how you look at it. Say, if Super Saiyan Gotenks actually had been able to defeat Fat Boo the first time he fused, then he shouldn't have wasted time showing off and gone to destroy Boo immediately, and then Boo would've never transformed. Or when he deliberately held back from using Super Saiyan 3 and instead fucked around, leading Boo to escape from the RoSaT and kill his friends and family on the palace. But just because Vegeta helped the villains reach the goal doesn't mean he's any more of an idiot than Gotenks, who, considering he's not Vegeta and actually cares about people other than himself, is ridiculously cocky and messes around just to look cool, all before a near-immortal bubblegum monster who forced the highest gods in existence to come down from the heavens to stop him and already killed their mother, brother and father.

Well, no-one knew how strong #20 was, so that's probably why they didn't jump in and help Goku until #19 was absorbing his energy. Add onto the fact that they can absorb energy.

And Piccolo didn't treat Goku like trash. He caught Goku when Vegeta kicked him, then set him down carefully. And yeah, he said, "I'm not soft...like Son Goku", because that's true. Trunks said he wasn't soft like Goku too, but he still shows him respect. Neither Piccolo nor Trunks would show Freeza mercy or let their enemies live. That is soft, because it's better to be thorough rather than let them come back and potentially beat the crap out of you. Even Goku admits that he was too soft on Freeza and he should've killed him on Namek.

I don't like Goku vs Majin Vegeta (manga), Gotenks vs Buu before Gotenks is SSJ3, Trunks vs King Cold, Vegeta vs Semi Perfect Cell, Otherworld Tournament and most one sided fights that aren't entertaining. (Trunks vs Frieza wasn't entertaining, but Vegito vs Buu was). I also don't like it when a badass character/state is thrown aside and jobbed. Vegeta mainly being beaten by Frieza/Cell.

Videl vs Spopovitch isn't a BAD battle, but its hard to watch. Same with Gohan vs Recoome.

a lot of filler sucks too. Yamcha vs Olibu, Humans vs Ginyu Force, Vegeta vs Cell Jr..
Simian upstart...none surpass me. No one even comes close! BURN THIS INTO YOUR MIND! I am emperor of the universe. The likes of you are only fit to grovel at my feet. Or better still...to be crushed...LIKE AN INSECT AT THE WHIM OF YOUR MASTER!

- Freeza, DBZ Kai.
