Pretty much, any rehash filler character design Toei did, I mean come on guys! If you're gonna be cheap, put some more effort into it!

Are none of you bothered by buu's design? Imagine if he wasn't pink.

How can you not like Brolly? He's awesome.

Yeah, Brolly is like the Hulk. No shirt but thank God he still has his pants :D

The "pink" is what makes up most of his character. Out of all the ways to die, you get murdered by a monster with bad speaking skills and a sweet tooth. You can't brag about that in "HFIL". Buu: Kirby and Gumby..:idea:

Well, even taking movie 11 into account he still looks like the Hulk. Green is still green :lol:

I didn't like PuiPui's design, it seemed to meh, I think that also goes for all the unnamed Babidi henchmen, they seemed abit rushed and boring to me.

Good idea for a thread. I haven't really given much thought to which character design I like the least... I guess that shows how much I like Toriyama's art style, but if I had to pick I'd go with the majority and say GT Bejita. Not that I hate it or anything, just compared to his Z design it isn't so great.

That, along with Trunks' "I'm a Super Saiyan Cowboy" look in GT with the whole bandana-around-the-neck thing going on are my least favorite designs.

I've always liked Yajirobe's design. I was glad to see him used more than never in Z, cutting Vejita's tail and appearing in a few movies and whatnot. I also thought GT Trunks wasn't so bad, he was different from Z's Future Trunks, which he needed to be.

Let me just say that I don't have any problems with Dragonball GT. But I really hate Super 17's design. He looks like a very badly dressed Marilyn Manson.

I've never been too fond of 2nd form Cell. I think it's because he doesn't have wings like his first and perfect forms so he doesn't seem as rounded out as those two forms did.

Gotta say Super 17 as well. Just god awful... and the Bio Broly idea was rather lame. I mean what the hell...

And Humpski for saying Dabura.... your dead to me.... :evil:

HAHA! :lol: :roll: No just kidding, you're a wonderful guy. :roll: :wink:

As much as Freeza's 2nd to 3rd to Final form succession makes no sense, his third form is still bad ass! I also agree that Dabura's design is pretty cool! I mean he's the Demon King!

And yes, I agree with Bio-Broli being lame. I can't believe I forgot him. I'm also not too fond of regular Android 13. Cap + Vest - Shirt = lame!

Freeza's made sense. Each one was more jarring than the last, and the final one was the most unexpected.
