Discussion regarding the entirety of the franchise in a general (meta) sense, including such aspects as: production, trends, merchandise, fan culture, and more.

Sorry I misunderstood your post lol, I just thought that shipping a couple that's already married and with kids was kinda silly.
Why if you think the relationship is compelling?
No I was only referring to the "vegexbul" stuff. I was under the impression that shipping was used for couples that weren't official or canon, like wishful thinking. In the light of new understandings, go team vegeta/Bulma or something like that.
OK back on topic, I don't think fan service is bad thing unless it used correctly. Looks like some of the episodes coming will have some fan service especially the upcoming episode. Goku and krillin training again for a martial arts tournament sounds like a lot fun.

I get that, but shipping is used for any pairing you like or would like to see. It doesn't matter if they are in a relationship or not.
The biggest truths aren't original. The truth is ketchup. It's Jim Belushi. Its job isn't to blow our minds. It's to be within reach.

Super has taken its fan service to whole new level with female LSSJ Broly. This is just crazy.

But the fact that there are still people reading the series after all this time… All I can say is; “thank you.” Really, that’s all.

And that you also have IMMENSELY skewed and comically backwards priorities in what you think is most important and needed to make a good Dragon Ball story.

Imagine if she has a crush on Vegeta and always screams "BEJIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITA!!!!!!!!!!".
Or well, Goku. Then it is KAKAROTTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO all over again. Or GOKUUUUUUUU. Imagine a Broly that uses one name for him and the other one his Earth name.

Still laughing at the people who said Future Trunks, SSB Vegetto, and evil Goku weren't fan service. No it took this long and this specifically to wake them up and realize they've been shoveling this to us since day one and don't respect our opinions as a fan base at all. They couldn't even bother to properly put together a show but knew the fans would delude themselves into loving it..

Evil Goku isn't fan service. And our opinions as a fanbase are diverse, so it's meaningless if we still pay to see it.

Having now seen a female Broly in the Universal Survival Arc Preview, I can say that though not inherently good or bad, fanservice can get annoying. And this female Broly, yeah that's annoying me.

Annoying you? You must have really thick skin, as seeing female Broly infuriates me beyond any reason of doubt. She's just fan service, and I swear to god, if we get fan servicy shots of her, I'll scream

I don't think you have to worry about Super becoming an episode of Keijo.

Eh, you don't know prehaps I'd want that with every one of the female angel characters, and male angel characters. We are progressive here on Kanzenshuu.

Honestly ever since Goku Black debuted I wouldn't put anything past Super's writing team.
I don't care one way or the other about female Broly. Yes there is the pandering aspect but I have a feeling she won't play a big part, especially in a tournament arc, TOEI are more than likely going to breeze through each character and focus their energies on getting the animation right for the fights.
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

Except Goku Black was goddamn amazing and most people say he's the best villain that Dragon ball has ever produced.

That's the only way this situation could be salvaged get rid of this character early
