Re: Unpopular DB opinions
It's stated in the manga that Gohan is stronger than Gotenks. Even Goten and Trunks agree that he is.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Not only do we have a direct statement that Gohan is stronger than Gotenks, we also have a direct statement that Gohan-Boo is stronger than Gotenks-Boo:
There really is a difference between having an opinion and defying in-universe facts.Chapter: 502 (DBZ 308), P13.1

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
DB > DBZ
GT wasn't that horrible
DB Super had a better starting than its current episodes: really seems lacking in creativity to rehash BoG and then RoF's events rather than going with a new story

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
GT is significantly better than the Cell & Buu Sagas, especially the latter and should be used as inspiration for future material in the franchise.
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
DB > DBZ is not a unpopular opinion since most people feel like the original DB show was a better written show then DBZ. I do feel like DBZ from Saiyan saga - Freeza saga was good, but started to go downhill afterwards. Buu saga was a major mess looking back on it.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Comparing DB to DBZ is like comparing Battle of Gods to Resurrection F. The former is story-driven, while action is secondary. The latter is the reverse.
Do you have any info about international non-English broadcasts about the Dragon Ball anime or manga translations/editions? Please message me. Researching for a future book with Dragon Ball scholar Derek Padula

Well Youtube has the worst DB fandom out there. I won't view the whole DB fandom based on Youtube, Facebook and Twitter.

Granted, I would have preferred Cooler to be cut out completely, and have had the Big Gete Star as it's own entity, perhaps a "Big Getecron," if you will. Regardless, the movie itself is perfectly fine, especially when compared to the others in the series.

I've never though Cooler looks all that much like Frieza
Re: Unpopular DB opinions
The Buu Arc was the best in the series and Teen Gohan is better than SSJ2 Kid Gohan.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Animation doesn't particularly bother me unless it's bad enough to make the movie unwatchable. M6's animation isn't bad enough to do that, so I really only pay attention to the story criticisms.Doctor. wrote:I thought most complaints came from the animation of the movie, rather than the plot itself.Kamiccolo9 wrote:I've always thought so.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I never understood the comparison between Meta-Cooler and Mecha Frieza. I don't mind the animation either because it's not noticeable enough to ruin my viewing experience... unlike episode 5 of Super. Personally, the reason I dislike it is because I find it boring. As in, the only version I've watched (dub). It has that horrible GT theme playing. Everything that composer touches becomes a bore.Kamiccolo9 wrote:I've always thought so.

Besides that, everything happens too quickly. More so than every other DBZ movie; there's no proper build-up to anything, IIRC.
-Everyone is already at Namek
-Giant colony and robotssssss everywhere.
-Cooler is randomly the main culprit.
-Him and Goku immediately start fighting.
- Vegeta randomly appears. This is wayyy more random than his other movie appearances, btw.
-They struggle against Meta-Cooler, but beat him.
- Meta-Cooler army appears.
- Instead of killing Goku and Vegeta... they abduct them and bring them to the ****ing core of the Geti Star? The ONE weak point?!
- Goku easily kills the real Cooler.
- Peace

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I disagree about the boo arc (I find the red ribbon army arc to be the best), but thank you I'm not the only one who thinks teen gohan is better then ssj2 kid gohan.MajinMan wrote:The Buu Arc was the best in the series and Teen Gohan is better than SSJ2 Kid Gohan.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I thought the bad animation was incredibly noticeable especially in the fight between base/Kaioken Goku and Coola, and even early parts of the SS fight. Completely destroyed my enjoyment the first time I watched it. It's just as bad to look at as most of episode 5 of Super.
