I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.
Wait, those people exist? Are you sure they aren't trolls? If they are for real, just ignore them; arguing with crazy won't get you anywhere. Just hand them a tin hat and be on your way.dbzfan7 wrote:
-Funi dub posers
I'm not talking about preferring Funi over japanese or any of that, I mean the people who think "that is the true dialogue" and hate on any other dialogue and call it stupid. People hate the Kai " I am speech" because it isn't stupid Jesus related speech that Superman would be embarrassed to say. They act like know it all's and treat everyone else like kids who weren't born in the 90's toonami when they know nothing.
I'm actually a small fan of the Piccolo/Chichi pairing, only when it's written well enough like the fic you posted to (Which I have read before).DBZAOTA482 wrote: I don't know, I'm a firm believer that any concept can work no matter how ridiculous or implausible.
Likewise, I found a surprisingly not atrociously-written Piccolo/Chi-Chi fanfic.

There's fan fiction and fan art of anything and everything you can think of. Why's this particular thing such a surprise? That pairing is pretty obvious, along with Goten/Trunks.JP6GAMER wrote:WTF there are fan fictions about Goku and Vegeta being a couple?!?Hellspawn28 wrote:Amazing how crazy fans are.

Now I can never see them "Fusion" without a dirty mind.
I'd say that's almost an apples vs. oranges type of comparison. There are really only two similarities they share: they are set in the Dragon Ball universe and they are produced by Toei. Perhaps the biggest difference is you have (generally) self-contained movies which ranges from 45 to 90 minutes which are released maybe twice a year whereas GT is a 64 episode weekly anime.Saiga wrote:The movies don't get nearly the amount of hate that filler or GT get, yet they were Toei originals as well.
Speaking entirely for myself, my disinterest (I don't hate Kai, just am not interested in it) in Kai stems from the fact that it is edited. I don't care if it is closer to the manga, people complained about DBZ being edited as it was during the Saban-era, yet Toei seems to get the proverbial "free pass" for doing the same thing. Again, just like people preferring to watch in Japanese, I don't have any problem with people preferring to watch the Kai version. The same people probably also complain about the changes made to the Star Wars movies, when there is really no difference with Kai. It's not the original version and there are parts which are either re-animated or censored. However, unlike Star Wars, since both versions are available, we all have a choice and should not be subject to derisive comments for preferring one over the other.Hellspawn28 wrote:I also think most of the Kai hate comes from people who are too nostalgia for their older dubs.
Oh yes, I agree that just because you grew up with something or something is the original does not make it "the best" but just because it isn't the best doesn't mean you cannot overlook those flaws and just enjoy it. Isn't that the whole point of entertainment, to be entertained? If there are aspects to a certain version, be it a dub or the original, which hinders your ability to just enjoy what you're watching, why should you worry about acceptance from others who prefer this version when the alternative is what you really enjoy? With DBZ, I can learn what the intended story is while still enjoying a deeply flawed yet watchable dub. That wouldn't stop me from wishing it could have been done right in the first place, though.Just because you grow up with something does not make it good. I grew up with the Sandy Frank dubs of the Showa Gamera films and I can admit that they suck.

I'd say that's almost an apples vs. oranges type of comparison. First of all, like you said yourself, the original is still out there. Secondly, unlike those other edits, it at least has common decency to call itself something different. Lastly, editing is not a bad thing, censorship is. Editing greatly helped one of the movies you mentioned, Star Wars (No, not the special edition). And it has helped good movies become even greater (see Director's cut of Blade Runner, Richard Donner cut of Superman II, etc).OutlawTorn wrote:Speaking entirely for myself, my disinterest (I don't hate Kai, just am not interested in it) in Kai stems from the fact that it is edited.

It puzzles me how they exist. People go nuts if you don't support it. I am a fan of Sonic and hate that piece of shit Cosmo(yes more then Chris) and people will go crazy to protect a forced pairing of 8 year olds. Only person worse is Elise and she for some reason doesn't piss me off as much as Cosmo (probably because I hate purity sues/perfection more then anything else in characters).Saiga wrote:Oh god yes, non-canon pairings. I don't want to see any of them again. The majority of them are creepy as fuck (age differences, involving villains, rape fics, etc) and I don't know why fans obsess over them so much.

My point was that GT isn't hated solely for being produced by Toei as some would claim.OutlawTorn wrote:

The negative reaction to the pairing was likely perceived as this: "Goku? Vegeta... but they are both dudes!"jjgp1112 wrote: How exactly is being opposed to an incredibly implausible shipping homophobic?

Yeah, judge someone based on personal preference and in no way judge intention or character.jjgp1112 wrote:How exactly is being opposed to an incredibly implausible shipping homophobic?
