Saying that its majority a paint job, is bullshit.
His body is redesigned in the same way Capullo redesigned Batman's new suit relative to his old one, there's a couple noticeable differences but it is 90% the same shit as before. The Golden Form is probably the least aggregious out of all the "new designs" but it is by no means good or original by any stretch of the imagination.

Gog wrote::roll: I won't use it if it triggers you. Toriyama didn't make their designs and personality's the same, they are different characters. Their designs are goddamn similar, and it fucking triggers you? You know he could have actually have made them be the same characters but he didn't, Champa isn't Beerus, you just lodged onto CAT MAN FAT PURPLE = BEERUS11!!1!11111, and Vados, Vados isn't Whis, the fact that you can't even pick that up. Just annoys me as I've read your book Vicious god's wrath. Here I'll explain their personality's to you.
Champa is more lazy, under handed, less dignified, more emotionally immature, and hes more selfish. Vados is more mischievous than Whis, she is can be more blunt, and coy than him, she is also more blunt, Vados is also more confident in her fighting capability.
It annoys me predominately because people act as though Toriyama couldn't do it any other way, whenever I bring this up everyone just says "Well the twin universes concept!" is an idea Toriyama chose to go with. He is not beholden to some higher executive who makes this shit up for him and he must enforce it. Beerus is a lazy shit too since he couldn't even be bothered to kill planet Vegeta, a planet he was already on when we factually know he can tap them into oblivion so he's not exactly any more pro active than Champa. They're both obsessed with food, they're both amoral pricks who do anything purely to entertain themselves. Vados and Whis are both willing to act mischevious and amoral when it suits them as we see from the Hit filler, the only barely existing difference is that Vados is slightly more proud of her existing abilities.

I just explained why my flimsy example is just as bad as Toriyama's flimsy example up above.

Says what? Nothing in universe has said there's any kind of dress code for a God of Destruction and even if there is that's still just another excuse (just like the Grand Priest being the father of the angels and the twin universes concept) for Toriyama to half ass designs instead of making up with actual unique appearances for people. Whats gonna be the bullshit excuse for when Saiyans and Namekians randomly exist everywhere huh? Cause that will happen, as sure as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west it fucking WILL happen and I'm gonna call it out for what it is: laziness.
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

Even then, it's just Freeza, BUT gold, for the most part. The way it's design reminds of the way nike designed the new Browns uniforms.

You mean the fact that Freeza's gem's became smaller, the fact that he's more muscular, his brows are now more pronounced like super saiyan three, he's taller, and he lost the gems on his shoulders. Minor difference's

It's a shame he didn't get something like Cooler's form in the 5th movie.

See's the word recolor, gets beyond angry, as he'd been arguing, against it, for fucking forever.

Okay, do you even read, the golden form isn't a recolor, it removes the two jewels on Freeza's shoulders, it makes the remaining jewels smaller, it makes Freeza more muscular, Freeza is taller, Freeza has bigger brows, and theres two shades of gold. Freeza also looks like he's wearing pants.

I'm shocked

Once again, it's mostly a recolor. It's 90% recolor, 10% new design.

Fine what do you consider a new form? Because its 70% new design, 30% recolor

Fine, I was over estimating, but its got more effort in it than super saiyan 1, as that's what started it all. 3 only has bigger brows, and longer hair, less difference than Golden.

It's not about differences. SSJ has more impact. Sure really only one thing is different, but that's really all it needs. Goku's hair spiking up and being clear is a much bigger and better difference, then Freeza getting more muscles and losing some shit on his shoulders.

No I don't care about impact, I care about design, Goku's hair spiking up, and becoming bleached, is lazier than Freeza becoming more muscular, losing the shit on his shoulders. His gems becoming smaller, Freeza growing taller, Freeza getting a different color scheme, and Freeza gaining SS3 Brows. The ultimate evolution is a clearer, and better transformation than the third laziest form in the franchise

Honestly, Golden Freeza looks better than Coola's "Fifth Form". It's simple but it looks pretty good.

The Super Saiyan recolor is not as good though. I liked SSG because of its simplicity but SSB was just too simple.

Kinda ironic since Blue also happens to be my favorite transformation, though that's probably because it represents modern DB in a way.
