I completely agree with everything you've written in the context of what we've learned about this particular story.dbzfan7 wrote:It's literally one of the things fanfiction is mocked for. Bringing back old villains, and making them really really strong. I was excited, but scared here since maybe Toriyama could do something with that overused concept. His past editor seemed pleased....then news came out...and it's like no one tried to make things work. You can fix some of these problems easily like Freeza being wished back years earlier, but going into training while the rest of DBZ played out. You could have Majin Boo be a fairy tale Freeza heard that he didn't believe existed since Boo wasn't around in Freeza's time I think. He also shouldn't know the God of Destruction. He's boasting he's the best when his own father told him of people not to piss off and would wreck his shit.sintzu wrote:The story has heroes coming back and getting stronger so I don't see what's the problem with it being changed to the villain for once.dbzfan7 wrote: Go to fanfiction.net or something along those lines, and you'll find billions of stories about villain returning and getting unbelievably strong.
Gohan and Videl being fanservice for "Aw look at the family" when really it's most likely has zero meaning beyond "Hey look pan is born....ok moving on now."
I really have nothing against this,it's a small thing that's just there.
IMO fan fiction and fan service is doing something that doesn't make sense with the rest of the story which thankfully isn't the case here.
For example let's say for some reason people start giving a shit about Yamcha and all of a sudden there's a movie about him becoming the strongest in the universe and taking down someone like Beerus. Now this is fan fiction and service that goes against what was previously established but what we're getting as of now isn't.
Just like the hells angels and miniscule effortless filler fights. Both really adding nothing but "Haha wook at the adorwable things and mean ol Freezer face" and "Oh hey they're doing something meaningful...only not since there is no struggle to handle mooks are all so weak anyone beyond Roshi could wave their hand and kill them all"...fluff fights are boring if they're going to be easy. If they actually could outnumber and harm the Z fighters, I call bullshit since they could overtake Freeza himself and his lack of care for any of them.
I think we already have people pointing out the issues going against pre established things since Minus.
That said, the whole "villains being brought back to life and becoming stronger" stuff is done all the time in comic books. Not just fanfiction. The difference is, it's usually done with the intent of further exploring the villain, with an emphasis on story and narrative, and not just for the sake of bringing back a villain cause he/she's cool. In the case of Frieza, I was instantly excited when I heard he would star as the villain in the new movie because of his influence and role in the overall DBZ story. If anything, this SHOULD HAVE happened a long time ago. I loved the idea of him becoming stronger as long as the method wasn't contrived or, well, an asspull. Unfortunately, my expectations in that regard were shattered.
In just one chapter of FoF, we've received so many plot holes/inconsistencies, it's kind of embarrassing. I'm still looking forward to the movie though.
If it IS indeed true that Bra is exactly one year younger than Pan, that is. Ha, imagine if Bulma found out she was expecting while fighting. Sorbet (or another of Frieza's soldeirs) could scan her with thier scouter and say, "Hmm, I'm picking up two power levels from this weakling. That's strange." Then they'd brush it off as if it was her mech/one of her machines messing with the performance of their scouters, but Bulma would be all
