One of the more pointless things I ever posted, yet in this thread doesn't look that bad. Think about that.
lol yeah Sonic is fun (especially back in it's glory days)

Says "Vegeta 4" on a DragonBall Z forum... :roll:

Seriously, fuck off. Some people want to understand what is, and is not, part of the official record of events in a fictional story. It's not pathetic, it's a hobby. Shitting on someone because you don't like their hoddy is pathetic.
pffff........Alright I'll pretend that post made a little sense (enough to respond it :P )

"Seriously, fuck off. Some people want to understand what is, and is not, part of the official record of events in a fictional story. It's not pathetic, it's a hobby. Shitting on someone because you don't like their hoddy is pathetic"

*sigh* Hehe... I just guessed some people here knew how to read before typing bull shit responses. But it's alright. (It is impresive that you managed to "get" so much sub text from what I put above. Very good.)

But I wasn't insulting a person for trying to fix up their own little canon in their minds.
I did insult
a) people fighting until 5 AM about a Sonic canon. (lol, cracks me up everytime I even type that)
and
b) downplaying someone elses opinions because they believe that something like a "Dragonball canon" even officially exists (As I said: it's cool to think it up, but to go around saying "this is canon ....and this isn't , just because I and all my buddy fan boys agree with it" doesn't make it official and doesn't justify putting down other people's arguments (unless your name is Akira Toriyama, which I'm sure you'll try really hard to convince me that IT IS, since it's pretty much the only argument you'd have left <I'm still hoping for a comeback though bud......don't let me down :) >


And dude, don't tell me to "fuck off": It's low and just shows that my comments getting to you. (which in turn makes me take you a lot less seriously)

And picking the most random name I could find: "Vegeta" and the number "4", on a DB forum........I don't see much wrong with that. (Do you want me to call myself: Batman? Paul? Joe? What the hell? It's a DB message board....common man. (though I'm guessing you were trying to get back at me when you thought that I was making fun of people who made their own canons in general) ....ehhh....whatever dude.

(there is no "official DB canon", except for Fan boys out there trying to justify their opinions in the most vague way possible.) Damn, the IDEA of canon is extremely flawed from the get go and if people like George lucas or the Star Trek/Paramount guys had never made a big deal of "what's canon or not" , no one would be trying to copy the idea into every single show ever created.

Can you believe that people spend hours arguing if the "GBA Sonic" games are CANON???? Come on people, this brings "not having a life" to a new low. (And people actually convince themselves of the validity of a "Sonic canon" ....when no creator in the history of that franchise ever meant for the events to be set up in an official timeline while having every game try it's hardest to not contradict the "narrative" of the first 3 Sonics.

Give me a break.
Best. Post. Evar.

:D
dude you're making me blush lol :D

1) to Domon:
I agree with what you said about the "ignored plotholes". I've lost count of the times I've heard someone say something in that sense. (IE: "Where did Vegeta's tail go?
"Ah dont worry, It's just GT"

2) Mr. Announcer: You know what? You have a lot of good points there (especially about Pan). But she didn't get on my nerves THAT much.
But GT's criticism is justified in many ways. (IE: I have a double edge criticism on making Frieza and Cell look completely stupid, but on the positive side their faces were hilarious when Goku asks for more foor <when they are caught by the Oni>. I looked at that scene as just pure comedy from then on. (at first I was disapointed because I thought I was supposed to be the grand return of Cell and Frieza in a very dark/epic battle. But it nothing more than an extended slapstick cameo.

But on the "no heart" thing. I had originally thought that it was true. But many things changed my mind.
At 1 point of the Super 17 battle (THAT had little heart, but it was just done to be blood pumping, which I thought it was one of the cooler battles in DB history. <Vegeta's face when they merge is classic DB: "They've... combined...">

But that's why I think the Bebi saga is actually good. There are some battles with little emotion, but many scenes really surprised me when I reviewed some episodes of the Bebi finale. (IE: the transformation bursts with emotion, Goku's first ever 10 X kamehameha (when he stands in front of the Earth, it was so well done).
- Also when Satan asks for Bebi to kill him and then you see Goku come down with Pan safe in his arms like a baby= near perfect (very moving) <as was Piccolo's death, which I couldnt have directed any better>

After seeing those scenes (and others: Like when Vegeta tells everyone to run away to space and let him die vs. Yi Xing Long, and having Trunks say goodbye to his mother..............I said to myself : "Yeah, they got the point." (besides all the nip picks people find)
that's why I'll still defend that part of the show no matter what.

3) BrollysKin: Don't worry about it. I don't take offence to stuff like that. (I'm actually enjoying myself chatting here when I have time)


I'm out guys. Goodnight.

Really? 'Cause that's exactly what it sounded like.
vegeta4 wrote:I did insult

True, you did insult a very specific group of people for having a different hobby than you. Good job. Have a cookie.
vegeta4 wrote:and

Um... do you mean "downplaying someone's opinion because they don't believe that there's an official canon"? Who's not making sense now?
vegeta4 wrote: (As I said: it's cool to think it up,
No, you never said that. You said:
"Don't even start the canon argument. It's so incredibly stupid it's not even funny. "
Where was "but it's cool" in that post? Maybe it's further down, I mean, you wouldn't say you said "it was cool" and not have said it. I mean, this is an Internet message board, I can go back and read it and check. So, did you say "it was cool"?
"there is no "official DB canon", except for Fan boys out there trying to justify their opinions in the most vague way possible.)"
Hmm... no, that's just shitting on someone's hobby again, maybe you said something nice later...
"Damn, the IDEA of canon is extremely flawed from the get go..."
Ouch, no, not quite "but it's cool". More like, "the whole idea of literary canon sucks". Close, but completely opposite.
vegeta4 wrote: but to go around saying "this is canon ....and this isn't , just because I and all my buddy fan boys agree with it" doesn't make it official
I agree, I've never met anyone who says there is an "official Dragonball canon". The fact that people argue about it would suggest, even to those who've never seen Dragonball, that there isn't an official canon. The only reason such arguments would exist would be because there's no official canon.
vegeta4 wrote:and doesn't justify putting down other people's arguments (unless your name is Akira Toriyama, which I'm sure you'll try really hard to convince me that IT IS, since it's pretty much the only argument you'd have left <I'm still hoping for a comeback though bud......don't let me down :) >
Again, I agree. Anytime I discuss canon I verbally attack anyone who tries to say that they're right about something without any kind of logic behind it. Having people agree with you is not the path to truth, truth is the path to truth. No one with two brain cells to rub together would claim otherwise.
vegeta4 wrote:And dude, don't tell me to "fuck off": It's low and just shows that my comments getting to you. (which in turn makes me take you a lot less seriously)
I tend to take people less seriously when they 1. lie about what they said, 2. act like I'm an idiot for being able to read it and show them they're lying, and 3. when someone spells "a lot" as one word.
vegeta4 wrote:And picking the most random name I could find: "Vegeta" and the number "4", on a DB forum........I don't see much wrong with that. (Do you want me to call myself: Batman? Paul? Joe?
Did your parents not name you? :P
I merely wanted to show that you were insulting fans of one show, while you participate in discussions about a show that has not had any real new development in a decade. I wanted to illustrate that, perhaps, you were being just a wee bit hypocritical.

vegeta4 wrote:What the hell? It's a DB message board....common man. (though I'm guessing you were trying to get back at me when you thought that I was making fun of people who made their own canons in general) ....ehhh....whatever dude.

Right. You never made fun of those people.

Mr. Announcer wrote:I couldn't bring myself to even care about the outcomes of the fights.
That's pretty much it for me too. The writing was nowhere near as tight as it had been, not even against post-Freeza DB. There was no sense of motivation within the characters, and the action was just uninspired. The final battle had some improvements, but a lot of it was rehashed.

And while the series may have had its "heartful moments", I felt they overdid it with the emotion so much that it became a completely different genre. I don't want to cry during every episode. Far too sappy for a supposed Dragon Ball series IMO.

A couple questions about GT:

(a) Was designing Bebi Toriyama's only involvement?

(b) There is a thread on Toriyama's assistants going on right now and I was wondering, were any of his assistants heavily involved in GT? If so, some of my ideas will change towards the series.

Also, I know everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but there is no reason to criticize someone for having their own. I'm not saying any names but members who start off by openly admitting that they purchase illegal products and disregards a canon system for the series are starting off on a bad foot. Just saying. With that being said, "a lot". :)

I just say oh my god. Too many people take this forum shit as too serious.
I agree with Vegeta4, it's completely stupid to discuss whether something is canon or not. And then, there will always be someone replying like if you have called his mother a bitch. Get real.
Not even one discussion can go on without someone flaming someone else.
I don't care if you are even 50 years old here, but for me you are all babies.
Dragonball is FICTION and will stay so, so who gives a damn if something is canon or not. You react like a drug addict that doesn't get his drugs.
I'm outta this forum of still pubertal guys, many of them around 20-25 or something.

LEAVES.

I second that, this is ridiculous. Grow up, all I see here are fights everywhere, a bunch of kids in teen's/adult's bodies. You're debating shit and wasting your time on worthless crap. Use that time to study instead, and all that ambition and will for learning in real life dammit.

Get a life people. This isn't your hobby. This is your addiction.

Now now Campbell that's no way to speak to the newbs. You should both apologize and make up before I F***ing put some bad@** moves on you both you rotten $%&#@*(ing *$) :evil: ($*$$#*!...... Now GROW UP! :x :x :x

Anyway.... um... GT cannot compare to it's predeccesors. And also the fact that it was made to stretch out a franchise that had run it's course already was probably the reason why fans the world over have dumped on it again and again. I will admit I liked aspects and parts of it but it is not that good of a series in my opinion.

P.S. Please guys don't start a flame war. I and I'm sure others don't want to see any bitterness or bannings around here. :( Awww now you both made baby Jesus cry! For shame!

Right. You never made fun of those people.

Give me a break.
WHOA...you have a lot of time on your hands man (look how pissed he is! :shock: )

but ...Thanks for the cookie bud

but 1) For some one who used "spelling" as 1 of their main arguments: You really have a lot of experience.

"Shitting on someone because you don't like their hoddy is pathetic" "
lmao....can you find the error kids? :D (and English isnt even my first language, so I have an excuse)

And pretty much my argument (putting everything I said together) was- Arguing about canon until 5 am is ok (if that's what you enjoy). But it's NOT ok to argue (as if it wasnt even their subjective opinion) something that is a) not official or b) a franchise that was no MEANT to have a canon (IE: Sonic "canon")

(edit: ...on request from a few other members to just : "Ignore this guy"...consider it done. So it's cool (although I had to erase 1/2 my post)
<I made my point anyways + the hoddy line was just classic. I can't believe I found it like 20 seconds after he said "I couldnt spell" :P >

the end. I'm done with this guy.

You seem to be saying, now, that you didn't insult anyone - but the actual words you've posted tell a different story. Am I missing something here? Can you point me in the direction of the post where you said "but it's cool" or "but I wasn't insulting them". I seem to have lost them.

Godo, MartianOddity, Maphisto86, did I miss something here? Did I somehow misread his posts? "Hey guys, canon arguments are stupid. Anyone who talks about canon is a pathetic fanboy". Can anyone point out where he said anything positive?

Hey, I'll be the first to apologize to the runt if I made a mistake - but I'm fairly sure I'm not completely illiterate.

No you're not illiterate. You just misunderstood what I meant by : "the canon argument"

You guessed that I meant by the "canon argument" that "Canon is stupid". (or people making up their little timelines in general)

It's like a Jew going on a message board to say: "Stupid Christians!!! We ALL know Jesus never existed"
And I was to say "Dude, Dont start this stupid religion argument."
and then someone like YOU says: "You're insulting Religion!!!" (completely over reading the statement)


-Dude if you think that pretending something is official to justify your beliefs. Then cool man (I guess you're the type that goes around saying you have a 9 incher cause "it's officiaaaaaal" :P ) <And especially pretending that it's official and go on to 5 AM arguing about it, (if it isn't official of course)

THUS that's why the whole point of arguing "canon" is dumb in a way. Cause if it IS official: Then you can't argue it cause (IE: George Lucas) already said it's official.
- and if it ISN'T official then saying: "It's canon" (as if it was official) is even more pointless. (what Mr. Piccolo really meant by what he said was: "Some people don't like GT because in the little timeline that me and a few fan boys made up in our minds, it never happened"


- Like I had to actually go back to my post and read it again cause your view of it didn't make much sense to me at all. Finally I spotted what you misread. "dont start this stupid Canon argument" (note: not the exact words)

- So no, you're not iliterate. I just noticed that you're not very smart :D lol.......go to sleep dude. (and you must be VERY angry to keep responding to these posts, keep 'em coming if you have the time bud.)

Sure you were. And when did you say that? Let's check the thread... oop, nowhere!

You seem to be saying, now, that you didn't insult anyone - but the actual words you've posted tell a different story. Am I missing something here? Can you point me in the direction of the post where you said "but it's cool" or "but I wasn't insulting them". I seem to have lost them.

Godo, MartianOddity, Maphisto86, did I miss something here? Did I somehow misread his posts? "Hey guys, canon arguments are stupid. Anyone who talks about canon is a pathetic fanboy". Can anyone point out where he said anything positive?

Hey, I'll be the first to apologize to the runt if I made a mistake - but I'm fairly sure I'm not completely illiterate.
Well I can't blame him for telling the truth.... I AM a pathetic fanboy just like how I am a highly intelligent shellfish from Uranus who speaks latin. AKA I agree with you Campbell just I wonldn't suggest saying "fuck off". Now I have to go back to Uranus and not be Kosher.

You guessed that I meant by the "canon argument" that "Canon is stupid". (or people making up their little timelines in general)

It's like a Jew going on a message board to say: "Stupid Christians!!! We ALL know Jesus never existed"
And I was to say "Dude, Dont start this stupid religion argument."
and then someone like YOU says: "You're insulting Religion!!!" (completely over reading the statement)
That's a good point. If you'd just said "Don't even start the canon argument", I could be convinced that I simply misread you, and would apologize. But you went on to say:
"Don't even start the canon argument. It's so incredibly stupid it's not even funny. "
"there is no "official DB canon", except for Fan boys out there trying to justify their opinions in the most vague way possible.)"
"Damn, the IDEA of canon is extremely flawed from the get go..."

How exactly did I misread all that?

Uh, yeah. I never said that any discussion about canon would lead to anything 'official'. I've actually said that (and I quote)
"I've never met anyone who says there is an "official Dragonball canon". The fact that people argue about it would suggest, even to those who've never seen Dragonball, that there isn't an official canon. The only reason such arguments would exist would be because there's no official canon. "
... and...
" Anytime I discuss canon I verbally attack anyone who tries to say that they're right about something without any kind of logic behind it. Having people agree with you is not the path to truth, truth is the path to truth. No one with two brain cells to rub together would claim otherwise."

And here's the kicker, when I say I've said something, I'm not lying about it. You can go back and check my posts. It's there.

No, what Mr. Piccolo meant was exactly what he said. Looking at the indisputable facts presented by the authour, and logically looking at all other information (where they come from, who wrote them, what the intention was), you can deduse what is, and what is not, canonical.

I'm not angered, I'm saddened. I'm saddened that you think anyone would believe you after I've quoted you, and you've lied about what you've said. I'm saddened further because people do believe you.

TIMMYS BACK!!! :D
And.......he didnt! Did he? I can't believe you STILL didn't get it. (and you even QUOTED me).
No...no, he didn't say that. There's no way.

Dude I didn't put in my last post what the: "Canon argument" was (I just put the self evident clues) because I actually though: "Nah....he should get it. He can't be THAT stupid".

And the "Mr. Piccolo" quote? Dude, you thought I was serious?
Ah........dude how old are you (this would really explain things).

- This is like me saying: "What Mr. Bush meant to say was: "I'm a big liar and invaded another nation on false ....etc etc"

And you say: "..........NO MAN!! WRONG!!! BUSH DIDN'T MEAN TO SAY THAT!" (I have to admit you've impressed me in hitting a new low :p)

(((Sssssarcasm + www.dictionary.com :) <have a blast> )))))

Common Timmy, calling me a liar? I say: "canon argument" (and if you ask me if I mean the "DBZ canon argument", I swear to god <judging by the responses you've been giving me, you seem completely lost>)

You want me to be polite or honest about all this?
I'll go with honest cause I'm not a little bitch- (ehem...)- 1)- Yes: People who bring up the word "canon" to undermine another's opinion or justify their opinion are retarted. (plain and simple) ,,<<NOTE: If again my 3 year old brother got this faster than you..........that is my "canon argument">> - (I wish I could put fireworks around that cause I'm sure you'd still get it wrong)
-2) Yes- It's ESPECIALLY stupid/pathetic to argue so hard about something that isnt even meant to have an "official canon" (IE: Sonic) <Is it finally ringing a bell Timmy?> (Sure you can speculate. But fight over it?) <As someone's been doing here........*cough* *cough*. Ah fuck it, you're not smart enough to understand subtle hints: ...YOU

3)- So now we're back at: You having 1 argument of saying that I've aparently contradicted myself instead of actually having an argument of your own.

(If you STILL don't get it: We're back at: "Seriously, fuck off" + some jiberish you wrote after that)

hmm........that's a strong argument Timmy :? . (It really hit me hard dude)

And Timmy, I know you're saddened Timmy. I saw your picture: I understand (there is help Timmy............don't give up on life Bro).


later guys (and I know Timmy wont give up. Unfortunately there's no way to completely burry him and he'll just keep on coming until that "Vegetto Ex" guy comes to close down the thread)

buuuut..........in the mean time, this is just hilarious :p

I agree. I'm done. "Timmy"? Awesome, way to take the high road, asshole. Vegeta4, you obviously can't handle actually discussing anything in a rational manner. I'm done with you.
