Filler and canon discussions are "meh"
Are we too old to enjoy new Dragon Ball movies/series?

Guys, I'm going to be straight with you. If you feel the show has gotten 'silly' ... it hasn't. You're just 'too old for this shit'. Seriously, 95% of the people in those boards do not fit the target demographic of the show, so don't expect the show to be 'everything you hoped for'. I'm referring to the people here who expect Super to be rich with dark moments, serious storytelling, meaningful characters etc etc. It won't. It's a show for kids. A show for kids being kids. Everyone in those boards has a manchild in him/her, clamoring to get out, and that's fine. But having unrealistic expectations (such as believing the show grew up alongside you) is naïve at best. Honestly, do you take seriously a story where the supposed God of Destruction halts his urges to blow up stuff in order to eat ice cream sundae? That's the show's silliness at full force, take it for what it is. The show hasn't matured one bit, so don't expect it too. Again, I'm not saying that's a bad thing. I'm saying *that* is DB and always will be.
The first one would be either Tenshinhan or Roshi.
Tenshinhan because Toei hates him and Roshi it would be the moment he goes for a female fighter.
I know some are disappointed in the Gohan squad performance, u have them fight the jabronies of the other Universes while 17 and 18 are fighting the Pride Troopers.
One thing i learned in episode 97 is that Gohan wasnt ready for the role, and Kaioshin isnt that good with strategies either, for a reason U7 ningen level is low.

We don't know if 17 was fighting with the Pride Troopers. We don't know who was 17 fighting with at all. We saw him blocking some energy blasts with his shield, and then we saw the re-used animation of him punching someone, but we don't know who.
And the fact that the fighters who get knocked off the arena will then get teleported to the bench makes me think that 18's elimination won't be what causes Krillin to show his "raw power". But who knows.
I personally think none of the U7 fighters will get eliminated in the next 4 or 5 episodes.

#17 was clearly shown fighting Kahseral and Dyspo.

I don't think Toei would be able to stretch this arc too long due to it being so action oriented. So I think it's much more likely that we'll see at least one of the Universe 7 fighters out of the ring by Episode 100 or 101.
I think one of U7's heavy hitters will go out early to raise tension and put U7 at a bigger disadvantage. I feel like 18 or Piccolo might go out first in an unexpected way. Goku, Frieza, Vegeta, and 17 are safe until the last 1/2 to 1/3, I think. Gohan being the first would be the most shocking but I don't think it'll happen.

If it's fanmade, than why are you showing it to us here?
Because he said SOME believe that it's fake. Don't be so rude.
I am not rude. That is only your interpretation. I merely asked why. Well he said SOME, but i believe a mod of reddit clearly showed that it's fan-art already thus debunking it.
Good & Hype ep. next ep looks like it will be even better. the use of opening animation is honestly good considering it has some of the best in dragon ball regarding openings or in ep content. gives me more indication that they may use Goku vs Jiren footage from the opening. there is no way you just can't use that.
Zamasu is the best DB villain besides Freeza (and this is only the case because the current Super arc elevated Freeza to be that good).

Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!
Spoiler:
Doctor. wrote:I've explained before, I'll just paraphrase myself.
Power levels establish tension and drama. People who care about them (well, people who care about them in a narrative) don't care about the big numbers or the fancy explosions. If you have character A who's so much above character B, who's the main character, you're gonna be left wondering how in the hell character B, the character we're supposed to care and root for, is going to escape the situation or overcome the odds. It makes us emotionally invested.
If character B doesn't escape the situation in a believable way that's consistent with previous events, then that emotional investment is gone. It was pointless tension, pointless drama made just to suck in the viewer. It has no critical value whatsoever. The audience is left believing that the author can just create whatever scenarios he wants and what happens to the characters is decided by whatever the author wants to happen, regardless of the events that happened in the story. Which, in fairness, is what happens, but the audience wants to be fooled. The audience wants to know that the world they're following has rules. That the world they're invested in isn't going to bend to external factors that are irrelevant to them.
An author can do whatever he wants with the characters, that's not false. But the author should also have the responsibility to make sure it fits in cohesively with the other events in the narrative he has created.

Of all people in the Universe 7 team, Roshi would be the one not to underestimate his opponents. Especially when they're Saiyans.

Goku was wanked to hell in Z, even when he wasn't in the room and everyone else was secondary to him. In fact, this was a major issue Goku had, which is why he didn't want to do anything in the Buu Saga.

1. Goku (Universe 7) has eliminated 6 competitor & Vegeta (Universe 7) has eliminated 6 competitors

Yup, the one who is most likely to do a blunder like this is Vegeta, and knowing him that's how he gets ringed out
I don't think that blunder will get him out, but it will ALMOST get him out. I can see the possibility of Vegeta going out protecting Goku or something.

....
I would have brought that if it was Vegeta before this arc started, now that he is back to his badass self again, he should be only ringed out in two ways, either by above mentioned or by doing his sworn duty of losing to jiren to give goku the advantage of knowing beforehand how to not approach the said fight

We saw Dyspo and Kahseral kicking someone from the above, and then we saw 17 punching someone. How does this indicate that they were fighting with eachother?
I think we will get a Trunks, Goten, Marron and Yamcha filler after episode 101.
Also, I wonder if the mafuuba can be used to turn allies into projectiles. Like a "It's only draining if you resist, Krillin! NOW LET ME TURN YOU INTO A GALACTIC BOWLING BALL!" Or spin said person around the stage like a tornado to knock people off.

He looked very confident in wanting to fight the female fighters, we know that his pervy gag will kick in again at some point and thats how he will get eliminated.
There is potential comedy relief in there, you could add Old Kaioshin hi5ing Roshi for getting to tap one of the female fighters, heh.
