I remember both Goku and Vegeta ran through and bust them into scrap metal pretty quickly.

We don't see Goku and Vegeta fight the army of Metal Coolers. They power up, and it cuts to black.Hellspawn28 wrote:I remember both Goku and Vegeta ran through and bust them into scrap metal pretty quickly.

They barely made it out against one. When the army appears, Goku and Vegeta power-up, but are clearly beaten off-screen and dragged into the core of the Geti Star (i.e. the only weak point).Hellspawn28 wrote:I remember both Goku and Vegeta ran through and bust them into scrap metal pretty quickly.
Basically, the army was as strong as the one Meta-Cooler they fought, but Cooler is a dumbass.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Unpopular DB opinion? Easy
I absolutely HATE normal fusion; that means Gogeta and Gotenks ESPECIALLY Gotenks. Gotenks ruined Trunks and Goten. I was looking forward to see how they could be useful, I hated that they turned SSJ but that's not an unpopular opinion.
I'm also not fond of the Kamicollo fusion. I don't buy the whole sum is greater than the individual parts. There's no WAY Piccolo should have gotten that much of a powerup from Kami, I'd prefer if he had gotten it some other way. I liked Kami, he should have gotten more development.
I hate SSJ3; pointless
I hate SSJGod, I hate SSJGSSJ. It's like the story is stuck on fighting stronger characters and making more transformations. I'd really like to see more of Dragonball type fights and little strategic bits like Namek saga and Imperfect Cell saga. I'd like to see someone magically stealing the saiya-jins transformations somehow or making their transformations into separate personas. Then the base warriors would fight their SSJ counterparts and kill them and they'd have to struggle to get to SSJ again and when they DO they'll realize it's not the same etc etc. Anyway something like that; a de-powering if you will, even if it's just temporary and then they go back to being SSJGods. I guess as I type this I'm realizing I HATE SSJ as it is but not all of it. I liked Goku SSJ1, I liked Vegeta SSJ1, I didn't like Future Trunks SSJ. I didn't like the ASSJ, USSJ, FPSSJ crap but I loved SSJ2. I believe that's where it should have stopped.
Another unpopular opinion is the fact that I like Yamcha, he's really realistic about his limitations, I would like to see him and the other humans get more of a powerup from somewhere.
I hate comic relief; I loved dragonball and it was funny but once the Z portion came out and the tone changed it was really annoying that it got ''funny'' again in the Buu saga. I'd like dragonball to be a bit darker but I KNOW that's sacrilege and it would ruin the manga/show for a lot of fans so I don't want to see that change happen.
I hate Golden Frieza (4 months pft)
Phew what a rant.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
It's been a while since I've logged in
Unpopular opinion I have? Easy: I really enjoy Dragon Ball GT. It's the first of the 3 (now 4, I guess) series I watched, and even then the characters and humor grew on me. I mostly appreciate that the show never took itself too seriously for long stretches and that the fights, though spanning multiple episodes for the big ones, are better paced in my opinion compared to the stereotypes of Z.
Since I've only watched about 5 episodes of DB, the Saiyan saga of Z, as far as half the Freeza saga in Kai, and one episode of Super....I guess by technicality GT's my favorite
(EDIT: I've also read the Saiyan Saga of Z in manga form. I actually think it's pretty cool that Kai was nearly identical to it.)

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
He got that power up because he was incomplete and Kami was his other half. Anyway, Piccolo just went from being pretty close to basic SSJ level to 17's level. It's significant but it's not that big.predazunn wrote:

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Because there's a world of difference between comedic relief and humor used to undercut the villain.I hate comic relief; I loved dragonball and it was funny but once the Z portion came out and the tone changed it was really annoying that it got ''funny'' again in the Buu saga.

Dragon Ball Super - Episode 5 has a good fame/it is a good episode.
Kind of hard to find such comments about the episode, so I think it fits here.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I think I might have posted in this thread (or a another one) that I hated Goku's Japanese voice but I actually like it now...
It was 100% the case of getting used to it as I have read some people have a similar experience, I still prefer DB dubbed but it is at that point where I don't mind watching DB with the Japanese voice cast ie. with Super and Goku doesn't bother me! Also I recently read Jaco again and I don't dislike DB-, I think it is a fun little take of Goku's origin (still prefer the Bardock special however)

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
• I absolutely hate Masako Nozawa as Adult Goku, Adult Gohan, Bardock etc.
• I cannot stand the Ocean Dub of Dragon Ball Z.
• I think “Cooler’s Revenge” should be Canon.
• I think “Bojack Unbound” should be Canon.
• I really think the Broly Movies, and Broly as a character, are overrated.
• I prefer Kenji Yamamoto to Shunsuke Kikuchi for the Dragon Ball Kai soundtrack.
• I actually like the Metal/Hard Rock soundtracks they used for the old Dragon Ball Z Movies (“Lord Slug”, “Cooler’s Revenge” etc.), and wish they’d do that with more Dragon Ball Movies that might come out in the future.
• Although I liked “Resurrection「F」”, I felt the way that Freeza became stronger was incredibly contrived and impacted negatively on the overall movie experience.
• I think Dragon Ball Super is a waste of time at the moment, and that “Battle of Gods” and “Resurrection「F」” far surpass it. I feel like they're going backwards. Having just condensed Z into Kai, they're now stretching out two movies over the course of several episodes, with no real development being given to the characters as a compromise. Gohan lasted longer against Beerus in the extended cut for “Battle of Gods” than he did in Dragon Ball Super.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Alright, fair enough. I think these might be a little more "unpopular".
• I think the Manga is overrated, and I could care less about it.
• I think the Tenkaichi/Sparking series, and specifically the third game in the series, ruined Dragon Ball video games.
• I never watched the original Dragon Ball all the way to the end. I think it's a waste of time.

Why do you feel this way? I'm sure you can't expect to be throwing around these kinds of statements without having some kind of reasoning behind it, so let's hear it, I'm interested.TokiTokiZobaZoba wrote:• I think the Manga is overrated, and I could care less about it.

I'm not sure how unpopular this opinion may be here, but I have a feeling that quite a few members take the Daizenshuu as canon similar to how some people believe every word of the Bible.

Dragon Ball Super Episode 5 is not as bad everybody makes it out to be.
Dragon Ball Super is the best Dragon Ball series since the original ended.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
It depends on how you see canon,by definition it means part of the continuity according to the maker of the property,so in terms of the "anime" cooler canon be seen as canon...bojack has some inconstancies but cooler fits in perfectly during the training for the androids.TokiTokiZobaZoba wrote:• I absolutely hate Masako Nozawa as Adult Goku, Adult Gohan, Bardock etc.
