Mr.Piccolo wrote:Question 1 If it was revealed that Toriyama actually wrote the movies and GT, would your opinion change about them?
If you're asking it like Toriyama writing the movies exactly as they came out from Toei, then no. My opinion wouldn't change, I'd still have a blast with the original DB movies, consider DBZ movies 1/5/9/13 canon in the anime, etc., etc.
Mr.Piccolo wrote:Question 2 If you had a say in who would defeat Majin Buu (Fat, Super, Chibi, even the Thin one), who would it be and why?
BEWARE, BIG IDEA/RANT!!
It'd definitely be Ultimate Gohan beating Super Buu. If it were me determining things, I'd still have Buu absorb Gotenks and Piccolo, but rather than Goku getting Elder Kaioshin's life-energy reservoir, I'd just keep Tien coming to Gohan's rescue. Because of that and Dende doing some healing, Gohan would hold out against Buu long enough for the interior fusion separation. Then Gohan and Super Buu (w/t Piccolo, Goten and Trunks) in a seemingly equally-matched fight.
It could end with Buu holding Dende hostage to attempt to get Gohan to give himself up for absorption, but Gohan plays a trick on Buu where similar to Vegetto, he shields himself just as Buu absorbs him and ends up unmerged inside Buu's head (rather than his stomach or whatever Vegetto ended up). Then Gohan would proceed to detach Piccolo and the boys (everyone waking up as Gohan removes them rather than staying in comas), causing Buu to go back to his normal Evil/Super self. With Gohan and everyone escaping, he prepares for one final battle with Buu. Charges up a Kamehame-Ha, promising Buu his death will be quick and painless if he lets Dende go.
Hercule, who's watching this whole thing from a bush, springs out in front of Gohan preparing his blast, screaming at Buu for what he's doing, saying "There's no point in any of this!!" With this striking a cord within Buu's suppressed memories, the fat Buu's personality slightly shows through as a tear courses from his eye and he utters "...Sa--tan...". His arms a bit weak from the realization that his former best friend is right in front of him, Dende manages to slip out and get out of the way. Gohan launches his attack at Buu who puts up a shield powerful enough to destroy the entire planet if it keeps growing.
With Buu struggling, Gohan reaches into his deepest latent powers. Buu, now completely devoid of his fat Buu personality from this struggle, mocks Gohan "Bwahahaha!! What will you do, from the power you were using in our last fight, it won't be enough to break this shield. It's more powerful than even my own self-destruction was!!" With this realization, we get a short cut to Kaioshin's world as Goku looks on, urging his son to break through (not talking to him through telepathy or anything). Gohan suddenly breaks out a sly grin, now proclaiming to Buu "Didn't you know, when you had beat me to near death, my power skyrocketed; when Dende healed me, it was if a whole new giga essence was within me. I am a 'Saiyan', afterall. Now prepare yourself Majin Buu, this ENDS NOW!!"
Suddenly Gohan's eyes proceed to turn Emerald Green as his utmost power is released (he doesn't go SSJ though) and the massive Kamehame-Ha turns from Blue to Golden to White, enveloping Buu and consuming every last trace of him. Shocked by this sight, Hercule falls to his knees sad this creature whom almost became good, his best friend, is now gone; though bucks up a bit remembering what he did to Videl and the entire planet mumbling "That bastard got what he deserved..." Now, Gohan appears as though he's gonna collapse, similar to when he defeated Cell and Bojack, but just falls to one knee and stands right back up. Gohan suddenly hears a telepathic message from his Father, simply telling him "See, son? You were nowhere near needing my help, and at last your true destiny has been fulfilled. Give your brother and Mom my best, I'll be waiting for you guys..."
4-6 Months later, we see Gohan and the boys summoning Shenlong, whom revives all those who've died since Babidi's arrival, except for the most evil ones. Unfortunately not all of them were revived, as quite a few had been revived by some of the previous wishes over the years. We then get a look at Kuririn in the Other World talking to Goku on Grand Kaio's planet. Goku asks "Are you sad you can't be there to raise Marron?" Kuririn replies "Kind of, but 18 will be good to her, as will be Master Roshi. Besides, Goten's turning out well without his Dad, and at least now I don't have to die anymore!" The two laugh and begin sparring, we're then brought to the lower regions of Hell where Vegeta sits Indian style mediating, apparently he has his body but couldn't be revived as Shenlong once brought him back, and he simply lets a "...Hmm..." as we're brought back to Earth a year or so later.
Gohan and Videl have just graduated high-school and are sitting together at a fountain in Satan City. They talk to each other about various things, the recent battle with Buu, how they'll be going to college, and at last confess how much they love each other. Gohan shows her a ring, to which Videl doesn't answer but just hugs him excitedly. They then hold hands and Gohan calls Kinto-'Un. Many citizens of the city seeing the couple ride off on the golden cloud, Gohan no longer cares about the exposure, as he has truly become his Father's son. Gohan and Videl ride Kinto-'Un over beautiful, near CGI looking forest/mountain terrains as the Narrator exclaims "And thus ends a legacy beginning with a small mountain boy living alone in desolation -- Culminating with his elder son beginning a true normal life" And a flashback, very similar to the end of GT, takes place. A first portion focusing on Goku's adventures while a second portion focuses on Gohan's.
The Narrator continues "In these times of peace, the shadow of evil may still loom. But even so, a once ruthless infant alien raised as a gentle Earthling has left a dynasty that will always be around to protect our humble planet. Two sons that have surpassed his own power (Goten with fusion), as well as a future Granddaughter down the road of fate, this new generation of Z warriors will lead planet Earth into a divine era of peace and prosperity."
Finally, with that said, Gohan and Videl land at 439 district where Chichi is drying cloths and Goten and Trunks are sparring. Chichi looks down at Videl's hand, the viewer doesn't actually see the ring there, but we do see Chichi look up at her son with happy tears in her eyes. She hugs her son and future daughter-in-law together, the camera pans up from the small Son house to the beautiful blue sky, and the Narrator finishes "Farewell, Son Gohan, your story, as well as your Father's, will live in our hearts forever."
"The End"
I'm insanely sorry for that big rant, but I needed to get it off my chest!

None of them, to tell ya' the truth.
Mr.Piccolo wrote:Question 4 What character do you think deserves more light shed on them? (i.e. include Karin, Kami, Kibito, etc.)
King Furry! ... But seriously, Karin would be cool to see some backround stuff on. Like maybe his training of Roshi and even something before that.
Mr.Piccolo wrote:Question 5 What is the undisputed best movie in your opinion and why?
My opinion says DBZ movie 13 is the best movie of the bunch, it has a pretty damn good continuity stance with the anime canon, has absolute stellar animation (and stereo, yay FUNi DVD ^^;; ), and provides Tapion with a real back-story that seems pretty rare with one-shot movie characters. Oh, and we get to see Bee one more time before he becomes a big ol' Golden-Retriever, you can't go wrong!
The Tori-bot wrote:Question 5: Thirteen, because it has the best, most imaginative story of all of the movies, the fight scenes are great, the animation is top-notch, and Freeza got a great cameo which showed off Gohan's awesomeness. And the Ryu-ken, while coming out of nowhere, was kinda cool, Tapion and Hildegarn had great character designs, backstories, and Tapion had some brilliant interactions with Trunks. And Gotenks is awesome.
You're thinking of movie 12, Tori.
Back to the subject!

) I haven't gone through all the movies recently, so sorry for the change in answer. I really liked the second Cooler one, since the entire scene inside Mecha Cooler was just so badass. Also, I especially liked the animation in that movie (probably because there was so much detail to Goku and Vegeta being "battle damaged." And the comedy with Oolong was priceless
