That's pretty cool. Thanks . But does he make the subtitles available in separate, like in a .srt file? That's what I really would like to have or create on my own. If he doesn't, the dialog in text form would still be very useful to that purpose.
I was planning to create subtitles in .srt files in english, so that everyone can see the episodes easily with subtitles if they choose to, and, after the subtitles are done, it would be easy for anyone to translate them into other languages, essentially making the enjoyment of DBA by people not comfortable with spoken english much easier.
(The script or the dialog written in text would be very useful because it would save a lot of time writing everything down and also it would ensure that I don't make mistakes regarding anything that is said in the episodes).
I know I'm a few days late, but I couldn't comment when I first watched it and then forgot about doing it. Anyway, love the interaction between Goku and Piccolo, great chemistry going on there! I think the more dialogue Piccolo gets, the better; he was definately the best part of the Lord Slug Abridged. Also, like everyone else, the end with Bulma and Vegeta is just...

I don't think so, I think they're hardsubs...

Highlights:
- Nervous Trunks' "Sun Wukong"
- Yellow Super Saiyan hair
- "Father, I wish I get to know you more" "Mother, I wish I got to know you less".
- Bulma/Vegeta hate-sex at the end (and probably a pretty accurate portrayal of what really happened...) I just knew you were going for that approach.
The part with Yamcha made me legit gasp.
Edit: oh and I forgot to mention the reason for Goku's heart failure and him going "What a nice young lady."

By the way when Vegeta mentions he's the Prince of all "3 and a half saiyans", which are the 3 and a half? Goku and Vegeta make 2, are we counting Gohan, Tarble, and Trunks as 1 and a half?

On the TFS twitter, he said that he was counting Goku, Vegeta, Tarble, and Gohan.

Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

Doctor. wrote:I've explained before, I'll just paraphrase myself.
Power levels establish tension and drama. People who care about them (well, people who care about them in a narrative) don't care about the big numbers or the fancy explosions. If you have character A who's so much above character B, who's the main character, you're gonna be left wondering how in the hell character B, the character we're supposed to care and root for, is going to escape the situation or overcome the odds. It makes us emotionally invested.
If character B doesn't escape the situation in a believable way that's consistent with previous events, then that emotional investment is gone. It was pointless tension, pointless drama made just to suck in the viewer. It has no critical value whatsoever. The audience is left believing that the author can just create whatever scenarios he wants and what happens to the characters is decided by whatever the author wants to happen, regardless of the events that happened in the story. Which, in fairness, is what happens, but the audience wants to be fooled. The audience wants to know that the world they're following has rules. That the world they're invested in isn't going to bend to external factors that are irrelevant to them.
An author can do whatever he wants with the characters, that's not false. But the author should also have the responsibility to make sure it fits in cohesively with the other events in the narrative he has created.

No, Vegeta wasn't counted in there. He said it was Goku, Tarble and Nappa, with Gohan being the half.
My bad. Totally forgot about Nappa still being alive.

I doubt TFS would drop their biggest breakthrough any time soon.
I think there conserving everyone's favourite character. No need to run Nappa into the ground. I wonder how Mr. Popo vs Super Boo is going to be handle. Mr. Popo dies in canon, but what happens in the abridgeverse.

Please elaborate as I do not know what you mean by "pushing Vegeta's destruction"
He's probably referring to the Bardock special. Zarbon was the one who first recommended destroying Planet Vegeta because the saiyans were rapidly growing in strength.
It was actually Beerus disguised as Zarbon #StayWoke
Herms wrote:The fact that the ridiculous power inflation is presented so earnestly makes me just roll my eyes and snicker. Like with Freeza, where he starts off over 10 times stronger than all his henchmen except Ginyu (because...well, just because), then we find out he can transform and get even more powerful, and then he reveals he can transform two more times, before finally coming out with the fact that he hasn't even been using anywhere near 50% of his power. Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.
