He had left his guard down to the point that ki wasn't protecting his body, apparently. Even though he was transformed.

Nothing contradicts this. Fans just don't like this idea.
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

Yup. That's pretty much how many people view modern Dragon Ball in a nutshell.

More like them not caring about being consistent with the original manga. Because several examples have already been used to show the inconsistency, it's not just fan perception.
It's stuff like this that makes me think Dragon Ball fans are not that much different from Sonic fans. Those who have problems are deemed haters who just want to find issue's and say everything sucks. Those who don't know the full details (But still know plenty), are ridiculed because they don't know every inch of something new. Like how early on a lot of comments could be summed as "SHUT UP YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT YET". Now that more details are out some still follow this excuse. Even after everyone's seen the movie, the excuse will be that people are just too lazy to make up shit instead of expecting the creators to do it. Dragon Ball ain't a fucking piece of work that's about opening things to interpretative story telling. It's a simple series which pretty much spells out everything. So when something isn't there, it's not to be artsy or ballsy. It's usually something that wasn't thought about. Then there's the excuse that people ignore the manga problems which only some would really excuse. That was the 80's, this is 2015. I expect some more care. Though really it's hard to tell who's fair, who's bashing the new stuff, and who's sucking on Dragon Balls as consumer tools.

Look. If what you've read about and what you've seen via cell phone pics in a movie theater is enough to make you say, "I'm not interested," then more power to you. However, why should I trust the opinion of someone who hasn't even seen the film as somehow actually authoritative in regards to the film's quality? Even film critics at least see a film before they tell you it sucks.

It's not just me going "NO U NEED SEE MOVIE FIRST NOOB" and laughing because I have seen it. I hold myself to the same standard. An example of this would be my opinion of GT. I've never seen more than a couple random episodes of GT and I have no real interest in seeing it. When someone asks me about GT, I'm open in that I haven't actually seen it, but what I know about it makes me uninterested in seeing it. Also, I tell them that they should ask someone who HAS seen it for a first-hand account of whether it's a good show or not.

Ki wasn't protecting his body yet he was still in his God form how the fuck does that even work

Why wasn't Freeza killed when Piccolo came out of nowhere to kick him in the head?

Freeza certainly wasn't on guard at the moment

Stop defending bad writing DB is full of it.

From a visual medium is where watching the film differs from something like story. Saying like the action is shit without seeing all of it is jumping the gun. That's something you can't fully know without seeing the whole movie. Saying the animation is garbage as well as the CG is also jumping the gun as you need to see the film to judge all of it's quality. The same can be said about musical score. That's something you need to see the movie for to garner an opinion.

However plot is not the same. Whatever you read is pretty much what you're going to get. You can read an opinion that the music and animation is poor, but you need to see the film to truly judge that as a whole. You could hear someone criticize the voice acting, but again that's something you need to see fully to get a full judgement. Story telling is something you don't really need to see on screen to have a full judgement. Reading an entire plot summary will give the entire story, plot twists, possibly character interactions, and pretty much everything important on a lore basis. The only thing that you won't get is dialogue, but good dialogue does not really save a poor story. So if the story isn't appealing from the summary, then good dialogue will not save it. Unless say the entire summary was a lie and nothing it said was accurate, then opinion on story could change. But the fact is it's not going to be any different from the summary. More fleshed out probably, but still won't make the overall story appealing.

If like me someone already thinks Freeza coming back and getting really strong is dumb, then the story has already lost me. The concept doesn't appeal. Not to say there isn't something to enjoy, but the main draw aka the story has already lost my interest as a fan. When my entire mindset to a film is turn off my brain and watch as a newcomer rather than a fan, I don't feel good as a fan.

Because when mastered the form doesn't waste unnecessary ki just like when SSJ are mastered.

Freeza was fighting Goku at the time and Freeza doesn't drop his guard down like Goku. Goku on the other hand was doing nothing and talking to a beaten up Freeza or are you going to ignore this.

The level to which people will look for anything and everything to declare something a problem is just...argh. My head hurts.
dbzfan7 wrote:Why couldn't Sorbet hit Goku with his ring to distract Goku, and then Freeza uses a death beam through Goku's heart. That'd have made far more sense.
Not gonna lie, I do wish this had been the case, not because I have any problem with this ring that seems to be plaguing everyone else, but because 1) it would give at least one less thing for people to complain about, and 2) it does sound like something Freeza would do. Though I guess it would take away one of Sorbet's moments.

Storytelling in film has always relied partially on factors outside of the plot/script alone, including dialogue and all of the aesthetic nuances that influence it. You're certainly entitled to post your feelings on the premise or certain ideas conveyed in the film, but you cannot thoroughly analyze it without fully experiencing the film itself and its components. This is basic knowledge, and it's exactly why every movie critic worth their salt has NEVER written a comprehensive review regarding the plot without actually watching its subject matter first.

You can argue and justify and defend this sort of bashing all you'd like, but until you've actually seen it, expecting anyone to take your assessment of the story seriously is an unreasonable demand.

Most people who've read the entire story line will not be swayed by pretty animation and predictable interactions. When you read the entire plot, you know everything relevant that will happen.

Don't like Freeza coming back? Don't like him getting strong in 4 month? Don't like our other heroes dealing with scrubs? Don't like Goku getting the final blow? Don't like Goku and Vegeta much? Don't like Freeza? Don't like Bluper Saiyan? Don't like Deus Ex Whis? Well then watching the movie won't change shit cause that all happens. If the premise and the story from simply reading isn't going to interest you, then the story won't change on screen. If someone knows the entire plot of GT but hasn't seen it all, then of course they can say what they want. If the concepts are stupid and the plot is uninteresting from just reading about it, watching it won't change someone's mind.

Even after people see it and have full knowledge, the fucking excuse will be "Well you're just too lazy to come up with an excuse to cover the asses of the writers". I've seen this shit before. That's exactly what people do all the damn time especially with video games they like. It's a defensive mechanism to block out any and all problems and encourage more to follow. The whole "You didn't see it so shut up" is an excuse to shut people up from having a problem with something you like. It's a piss poor excuse overall which will be substituted with another piss poor excuse even after everyone has seen it. That's the blind tool consumer excuse. It's been used for Battle of Gods which some people love or really hate. When people act no different then the Boom fanboys who said the same shit before that came out, and used similar excuses afterwards, I really fear for the Dragon Ball community. I fear it's a landscape of people who will buy into anything so long as Dragon Ball is in it. Even stuff such as Minus which left a seemingly negative impression, but people will still buy into it anyways cause it's Dragon Ball.

This is exactly what happened after Battle of Gods. We saw it, we issued our problems, and these were the responses we got after seeing the movie ourselves. There was some people not liking how Beerus supposedly had Freeza destroy Planet Vegeta (herms said it was iffy the wording on this). There was some people not liking things being to relaxed with not enough fighting. Some people didn't like Pilaf. Some were creeped out by Mai X Trunks. Some didn't like Gotenks not going SSJ3. Some didn't like Vegeta's rage boost. Some didn't like SSJ God period. Some didn't like the fighting animation, etc. What happened? They were harped on just cause they didn't like some things. Some stuff was dumb or not explained, but too bad cause it's Dragon Ball and you have to like Battle of Gods. I for one did like Battle of Gods, but I still had a lot of problems. Most of which seemed berated cause Battle of Gods is "Awesome". Toriyama wrote the script and there's nothing wrong, yadda yadda yadda.

I really doubt they're looking at it like that. That box is probably just a "these guys were related to Freeza in other works" type deal.

Hmm,ye i guess it had some reaction,so yes proly not vaporized.

Well either way,vegeta surely died,now weather it was from lack of air or heat of the planet or the shockwave Idk

That's probably just cinematic induced stupidity, we already saw the explosion in the trailer. The explosion was covered with freezas purple aura and we don't know how big the explosion was.

Also true,wanted to mention it but i thought id just drop it cos its a bit pointless to debate it ^^.

As for the off guard thing,eh,it was like i wrote before,a plot induced stupidity.They wanted goku to lose and thats how they thought him losing.Best not to dwell on it to much.

However,goku can sense ki and he would have known sorbet is behind him with the intent to kill him so he should have dodged it.But ye,plot induced stupidity or basically crappy writing ^^.

Edit:Also,those that kept using words like fan preconceptions is being very rude.Us fans who do that base it off events from the manga,we dont make it up.

I really wish you'd pay attention to the multiple people saying this isn't what they're doing instead of coming up with your own ridiculous assumptions about how people come to have a problem with these things.

I'm not trying to find a problem with this, I don't need to look for things to annoy me. That makes absolutely no sense. These kind of problems are just obvious to me.

I honestly don't understand how people think others are doing this. What person would try to have a problem with something they otherwise don't? There's no reason for it, and I think people have been clear enough that this isn't what they're doing. Yet I see that accusation tossed out so damn often... where does it come from? Why do people persist with such a baffling explanation?
I'm re-watching Dragon Ball GT in full on my blog. Check it out if you're interested in my thoughts on the series as I watch through it!
