Isn't this the same thing, only with a girl? I don't see any substantial difference, she's clearly just Broly without actually being Broly. The design is even the same, only with boobs. Boobs are never a bad thing.

Dude, boobs make things like 200 times better. Just look at this scientific boob discussion.

They go into the velocity and speed.
Of boobs.

You know, the show the 6 Million Dollar Man? It was old, but the joke is still common in pop culture.

It's pretty funny, like watching and old episode of Doctor Who. The budget is so small it's hilarious.
Kind of like Super! :lol:

True.
Let me introduce another subject here then: WHY IS #18 SUCH A BITCH ALL OFF THE SUDDEN?

She's always been a total ball-crusher to Kuririn, that dates back to the early Boo Arc.

The worst of the super saiyan form's, the one that started all of them. Super saiyan, the most boring transformation

More than being annoying, it was total bullshit with barely any foreshadowing. The version of a Super Saiyan that materialized was totally different from the version that was being foreshadowed, and it sticks out like a sore thumb in rewatching. Aside from that, I don't need to mention for the hundredth time how much I despise unearned power-ups.

Actually, I do have to give some credit for the Z dub here, because they did implement some foreshadowing for the transformation, at least as of the Frankendub Era.

* The Long Lost Brother - In a planet consisting of bloodthirsty warriors who knew nothing but fighting, there existed an exception: the son of King Vegeta himself, Tarble. Banished, instead of rightfully killed as any other saiyan would have been, Tarble, now married to a 'thing' arrives on Earth years later for some help. Vegeta, a character who would have likely blown him to bits not that long ago, greets him with only slight annoyance. A loving reunion. <3

* Rage Boost - With his wife slapped for being a word that rhymes with "itch," a furious Vegeta powers up in his SSJ state to do what no one has ever done before: become a SSJ3 without becoming a SSJ3 (or 2). All this time, Gohan's hidden powers were not special after all. R.I.P.

* A God Emerges - Completely overpowered by Beerus, even in his SSJ3 form, Goku is forced to ascend to an even greater state than a form that already draws out every bit of Ki his body can produce. But how can he do it?! Through...the power of friendship of course! In a ritual, 5 pure-hearted saiyans, including one who's killed billions of innocent people in the past, and an unborn fetus, give their love and energy to Goku, enabling him to become a Super Saiyan God. A form so powerful and fierce, it makes Goku look weaker. Looks can be deceiving as he is able to effortlessly defe--he loses the fight.
* The Prodigy - Lord Frieza, an overlord feared for thousands of years, was alas slain by the very beings he feared the most. An appropriate death for a tyrant who held billions in bondage. Years later, he is brought back to life by some of the billions he held in bondage. They warn Frieza that his nemesis, Goku, has risen to become thousands of times stronger and has even defeated the legendary monster of terror, Majin Buu. But Frieza is not scared. He smiles, admitting that, all this time, he was a prodigy. In just 4 months of training, he will become a God because a greater God (who writes this stuff) has blessed him.

Warning: heavy sarcasm and facetious remarks added in those descriptions!
All the ones I kept in my quote of your post are some of my favorite things to come out of modern Dragon Ball! :lol:

I'd say the things I don't like are:

-Redundant, drawn out retellings of stuff that happened in recent amazing Dragon Ball films

-VIZ using Kanzenban covers to their 3-in-1 Dragon Ball release

-VIZ advertising that release as "uncensored" but accidentally censoring some stuff in the first printing

-Fans not reading the damn manga

-Son Goku's gentle nature coming from his mom instead of coming from a hit to the head

-Fans not reading the damn Jaco manga

-Fans not read the damn Full Color manga

-Broly being shoehorned into places he doesn't belong

-The way the Zamasu Arc ended

I'm saying that the original transformations is Dragon ball Z (SSJ, all the shit in between, SS2, SS3) are the most uninteresting of the forms. While your saying that by this modern dragon ball's transformations are lame.

Then I stated that back then it was modern Dragon Ball, implying that the forms where lame back then as well. You've yet to prove your point

This topic is about venting the stuff that came out after 2007 or so. I honestly have no idea what you're talking about.
