Unpopular DB opinions
Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I can understand the Goofy outfits in Dragon Ball, but Z?
I mean, a vest with PAULDRONS! and a thong? That's supposed to make them look intimidating? BTW, what makes the Chaos Space Marines so intimidating isn't just the spikes, but also the shape and colour of the armour combined with the reputation of the CSMs. I mean, for being the butchers of the Galaxy, the Saiyans look like rejects from Motley Crue.

Dragonball is Dragonball. Only the anime is Z. he manga they're both Dragonball.I can understand the Goofy outfits in Dragon Ball, but Z?
Umm...you do realize that AKira Toriyama tend to make villain to look LESS intimidating right? It was never his purpose. He made them look less scary because of the point of "Never judge a book by it's cover". Why you think SSG wasn't all fierce looking?I mean, a vest with PAULDRONS! and a thong?

That's your example. Really? No offense but they don't look intimidating at ALL. THey look of out date as well and in all honestly look stupid.Chaos Space Marines
Re: Unpopular DB opinions
@Hades The problem though is that you are comparing between two vastly different properties, each with their own distinction and looks. They're too diifferent to be comparable.

If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand? To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect! Scientist's agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are! We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp, in trying to reach for something that in the end, we have to admit may in fact be unreachable!"
Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I can easily understand that theme, with Vegeta/Freeza/Kid Buu being smaller than their enemies, but in terms of the minions' uniforms? I mean, you'd think for being the space equivalent of Vikings/Pirates, the Saiyans would have better fashion sense.TheGmGoken wrote:Umm...you do realize that AKira Toriyama tend to make villain to look LESS intimidating right?

I'd say the CSMs appearance have aged better than that of Freeza's minions.That's your example. Really? No offense but they don't look intimidating at ALL. THey look of out date as well and in all honestly look stupid.

Do know what you mean but they look more goofy than Freeza's minions.I'd say the CSMs appearance have aged better than that of Freeza's minions.
When did Saiyans care for fashion? They're fighters not models. Saiyans aren't pirates at all. Hell Saiyans would't mind fighting naked. Point is. The uniforms aren't suppose to be intimidating nor scary. They're suppose to make you say "Wow they look dumb" only for you to get your ass kicked by them. Don't judge a book by it's cover.I can easily understand that theme, with the small Vegeta/Freeza/Kid Buu, but in terms of their uniforms?

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
It isn't just Saiyans. It's also the bog-standard minions that are just cannon fodder for Freeza. My fashion sense statement also applies to him.When did Saiyans care for fashion?

Why would Freeza care for fashion? When he transforms he's naked anyways(Besides...underwear?). Not like he honestly care for his minions anyways.Hades wrote:It isn't just Saiyans.

Um... who the hell is wearing a thong? Well, I am, but that just gives me even more reason to be confused as to why you'd think anyone wearing the armor was, unless this is some armor-related term I'm unfamiliar with.Hades wrote:I mean, a vest with PAULDRONS! and a thong?

Aside from that joke in DBZ Abridged, Zarbon's not wearing a thong either.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I don't know who that is, but I do "follow" (I guess...?) thongs, and there are no thongs associated with Saiyan armor.
All that aside, though, this is the first criticism I've ever heard against the armor. That was always one of the coolest things. Everyone always wanted Saiyan armor.

I prefer Dragon Ball Z over the original.
Not exactly an "unpopular" opinion, but probably a minority one on this website.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I've seen it a few times, but I don't like it when someone is looked down upon for uttering "ascended" in regard to SSJ2. It's not like it's an inaccurate translation of what Goku says to Buu, so it just strikes me as dub-hating.

"Over saturation is easy. Just drag the slider to the right and there you are: instant interest. And certainly, the majority of the public likes saturated color images. In fact, if you want to quickly create a popular image, simply over saturate the colors and increase the contrast. While you may not achieve a sophisticated image, you will achieve an image that will please a less demanding audience." - Alain Briot

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I quite enjoyed Movie 11, actually. Granted, there could have been a better villain, but that doesn't take away from the greatness of seeing the B-list and C-list characters in the spotlight for once. Only Goku got an appearance. We can never get enough of Mr. Satan's shenanigans.
I find SSJ2 Kid Gohan and Ultimate Gohan to be overrated. He gets an instant power-up, gets in over his head, and is far too cocky for my taste. The worst was against Cell; the moment he lost the advantage, he fell to his knees and just accepted it. Same goes for after Cell came back, it took Goku encouraging him to fight back to actually do so. While Ultimate Gohan does not suffer from the traits mentioned in my last sentence, I still hate how easy it was for him to come into being.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I actually agree with both of your opinions. Movie 11 is a lot of fun, and I don't care that Broly was turned into slime-monster mainly because I don't really care for Broly anyways.

Movie 11 does have it's good points (from what I've seen), I agree. The truly bad movies are between the 4th and 7th ones.Kid Buu wrote:I actually agree with both of your opinions.

SSJ2 Kid Gohan was more arrogant than cocky since he was deliberately dragging the battle out to make Cell suffer. He was lost with rage. Ultimate Gohan was the cocky one.TheOverlyMadHatter wrote:I find SSJ2 Kid Gohan and Ultimate Gohan to be overrated.
