Unpopular DB opinions

[mabalia]

Because I don't like it. What's more to say, I'd like for Gohan to be older, but I'm just repeating myself.

You aren't repeating yourself, you've only said that you don't like it. There is more to say such as WHY don't you like it in a work of fiction or why you not liking it means it shouldn't exist. It's fiction, bad things should happen to the heroes. Villains should commit evil acts.[/quote]

I dislike seeing kids as small as Gohan was in dangerous situations. I could never see this as heroic act because I always understood kids should be protected and not carrying the huge responsability the way Gohan did. Again, 4 and 5 years old are too young for me, that's practically a baby with nap time.

Even when I was younger I never felt conected with his disadventures. Adult me can understand it better.
And if this answer is not clear for you... it's good enough for me.

I didn't like that Gohan started to fight so young, he was just 5 years old, not even Goku started his adventures so young, he was already 12 or considering Minus possibly 14 years old. I'd prefer for the timeskip between DB and DBZ be at least 10 years, if I could change something in the manga that'd be it.

I know Gohan strenght was necessary in these battles but I'll always understand why Chichi was against Gohan's participation (I never forget a 5 years old Gohan with a broken neck, and that I watched this in anime made for kids and young teens).

Fine, but why?

DBZ arcs were very violent and if Gohan had to be a child in this, at least he could be older, like 9 or 10 years old, 5 years old is just too young for me. But what I'd really like was that Gohan started DBZ being 15 years old, by that time Goku should've convinced Chichi to let Gohan be trained by him. But that's just me, you don't have to agree.

That's what I said in this thread. All comes down to preferences, I'm not here to censor any form of art, I just stated an opinion based on my preferences.

I finally understand why because you've now given your reasons, but it's not real. Not everything that happens is supposed to be sunshine and lollipops. The villains should be doing evil things like kidnapping children. What Gohan did is ultimately heroic. Gohan should be protected, but he lives in a world where beings have the power to destroy planets so he's in the unenviable position of having enough power to make a difference. The morality isn't important, all that matters is if it's interesting.

I think Ize without the red lines looks fine. The red lines reek of Deadman Wonderland.

But have you seen his finial 'form' that shit's hideous

There's still a question of why your uncomfortableness about kids in this situation (even fictional kids) is so bad in a story.

I'm a social worker, man. That's part of the job, some of what you see in literature I saw in real life. And I want a fictional story less dark to enjoy.

Let's not get so personal on next question, okay? The thread is unpopular opinion, not what I do with my life

You've seen a kid fight a genetically engineered monster and evil space aliens?

Oh, come on, don't ya like seeing a 5 year get beat up, abused. Don't ya like child abuse?

[ABED]

You're missing the point.

I was being facetious. Point is that Dragon Ball is so over the top and cartoony that even something like hitting a five year old, who lets face it is written like he's older, doesn't have NEARLY the same weight to it as if it was done on a grounded show like Breaking Bad. And lastly, I don't enjoy fictional child abuse. I enjoy bad guys doing bad things that elicit an emotional response from the audience.

[Jinzoningen MULE]

Don't ya like child abuse?

I enjoyed The Simpsons, so I guess.

Ahh thanks for correcting me, now I can see why Young JiJi doesn't do the dragon ball super manga

He was pretty shoddy at coming up with transformation designs of his own, although I maintain that he's a better artist than Toyotaro.

yeah but I can already see what SSB would have looked if he made it

Oh-OH GOD ZAMASU WHAT DID HE DO TO YOU, OH GOD WHY

This guy... Has a thing for spikes. I'm more of a tenticle man myself.

Oh, my look's like I've met a tail man. You know, imagine what an arcosian could do to you with that tail ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° ) , Majins are indeed a close second though. Imagine an arcosian, and a majin going at each other

Arcosians is dub only, specifically the Ocean dub.

Gohan proudly saying he's the son of Goku and jumping at Recoome only to get his neck broken is one of his best moments in the series.

No, its the best moment in the entire series
