Does Anyone Else Prefer Other Forms of Freeza?

Post by Nikkolas » Tue Mar 11, 2014 2:34 pm

So maybe it's because it was "the final form that had the epic battle with Son Goku!!" but it seems to me Freeza is almost always thought of in his last look. I think it be fair to say it's a lot of people's favorite.

I've never liked it.

My favorite incarnation was the original:

Just like with Vegeta, I enjoy how short and nonthreatening he appears. Plus he's kinda pretty.

How about you all? Do you like the first appearance best? Maybe the one with the horns? How about when he became a Xenomorph for five seconds?

I know it's not actually Freeza, but I really like the aesthetic of Cooler's 5th form.

Freeza's third form is the one I prefer. It looks like a Xenomorph.

I'm one of those people that likes its final form the most.
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

To be honest I don't really like any of his forms particularly. His second form and final form would be the ones I prefer most.

Third would certainly be my favorite. I just love the look of it, despite it being around for only a short period of time.

I prefer the first form. I think the discrepancy between his size and his power is pretty entertainning.

My favorite version is the non buff final form.

Hmm. I'd say I like his first and final forms equally, although like Vice, I prefer the final form before it buffs up. There is the fact that I believe that all of Freeza's transformations are pointless, so it's hard for me not to dismiss the two middle forms as fluff on those accounts. But in terms of design the second form is nothing really special, just a big version of what we've already seen, which just isn't as interesting as tiny Freeza. The third form is around so briefly, contributes so little, and is such a ripoff... well, I just can't bring myself to like it all that much. But his final form returns to that original concept of Freeza. It still feels like Freeza but much more sleek.

First and final are my favorites. The first one because it's associated so strongly with his image as a galactic tyrant, and the final one for the level of sadism and pain he brings.

I feel as if I can't make a fair ruling until First Form Freeza ditches the Saiyan armor and gets nude. But ultimately, I don't have a preference.

Anything that isn't the first or final form was just a complete waste of time.
Kentai wrote:Son Gokuu is a fascinating character anyway, because he is - at face value, anyway - an idiot savant. The victim of violent head trauma as an infant [...] he's a simple bumpkin with a fair share of brain damage who's natural talents to work out what's wrong compensate for his broad lack of common sense. But he's also a fighter, through and through [...] he fight until he has, in no uncertain terms, beaten his enemy on terms they can both acknowledge. He doesn't want to kill anyone, or even prove that he can win... he just wants to know he can. He's an ineffably charming bastard who's manly leanings were really incendental, and yes, the fact that he was voiced by a squeaky woman made the combination perhaps all the more charming.

My favourite look is the second form, mainly because i love the demon like horns on his head and also i like how tall he is compared to anyone else, he is a behemoth.
Third form is ugly as fuck, and also looks very impractical to fight with (that big head and the stilted back would if anything LOWER YOUR SPEED TO A BRINK) so i hate it and would gladly see it gone.
Final form is my second favourite, althrough i prefere it when it was skinny.
Mecha Freeza is quite cool too.

His first form is the one that always pops into my mind, that's just "Freeza" to me. That's the way he was seen by everyone who worked for him or feared him.

I like both his first and last forms, but I don't see much point in the middle two. I think those were just Toriyama writing by the seat of of his pants.

It's funny, as a kid, I always referred to third form Freeza as "Duck Freeza" because I thought his mouth looked like a duck's bill :lol:

Not a "form" in and of itself, but I am a pretty big fan of Cygorg Freeza. To top it off, I like the big cannon thing they added to him in Super DBZ.

Since someone brought up Cooler earlier, I also want to say that I prefer Metal Cooler. I guess I'm more into the bionic forms of Freeza's family than I am the organic ones.

His first form is my favourite. It's the one that is present the longest and became iconic to me.

Final Form. Although it's not as appealing as Cooler's true form with that purple and red.
