Huh, I've never thought of it that way, but you sorta have a point.

And you are getting them. You're just bitching because they put a character you don't like on it. It doesn't matter that you say you aren't, that's what it boils down to.
No. As has beens stated, the in my opinion vague criteria being used makes it less about what they personally think, as you have even said. I don't give a fucking shit who's on the list and I seriously don't know why that's so damn hard for you to believe.

I never even wanted this to devolve into a stupid ass flame war, I was just stating that I personally don't like the list criteria because of the whole "impact" thing. I've made my stance pretty damn clear and I don't know why it's so god damn hard for you people to understand. No matter what the fuck I say, you're still dead set on thinking I'm just hating but I just wanted to give my honest genuine criticism and I EXPECTED everyone to just see it and move on with their lives. You can like the damn list criteria if you do, but I don't. THAT'S ALL THERE IS TOO IT. The only reason I've droned on and on about this subject even though I'd prefer not to is because I feel the need to defend myself from the lies being said about me. This really isn't a big deal. I just stated that I didn't like this list as much as previous DBcember lists and everyone freaked the fuck out.
This all started because of you bitching about Broly making it on the list. Then you doubled down when everyone called you out on it

It started when I wondered if Broly making it as high as he did as a result of their opinions being secondary to impact, since I know everyone at TFS dislikes Broly. It made me realize, but it's far from bitching about anything. Mainly confusion, followed by realization, followed by realizing that maybe their criteria might be a little flawed if a villain they hate can make it so high. If I'm wrong, and the Broly hate is greatly exaggerated for comedic effect, I'd surely like to know.

Also you're entirely false here because:

And all I'm saying is I personally would have preferred a favorites list rather than what we're getting. Pretty simple. Stop making it more than it is.

How so? An evil tyrant that had ruled the universe by fear for decades, feared and mentioned by many in the present day is a less interesting version of Vegeta? I mean, the latter dreamed to be in the same place as Freeza, as the absolute ruler of the universe.

If you ask me what I would prefer an OVA that tell the story of Vegeta childhood or the story of how Freeza came up, enslaved people, decimated planets to sell them, allied with the Saiyans and built his own army, well maybe you and I have different tastes of what we both find interesting.

Seeing King Cold teaching a child Freeza how to be a tyrant sounds hilariously adorable.

No he didn't, that's a sloppy retcon. As presented in his own arc, he was the most powerful being in the universe, the undisputed most powerful fighter of the most powerful warrior race, who only wanted for one thing: immortality, so he could enjoy an eternity of violence.

For Freeza, Toriyama basically copy-pasted Vegeta's role, personality, backstory, and even some of his fight choreography, then just added a higher power level and flashy but completely pointless transformations and hoped no one would notice. Freeza is the most powerful being in the universe and leader of the planet trade... because he's Freeza. And this is coming after Vegeta was supposed to be strongest in the universe and leader of the planet trade, the most gifted member of the strongest warrior race. Suddenly, there's a guy who's literally thousands of times stronger than that, because... he... just kinda is. And he's also referred to as nobility, and he's also petty and lazy as hell, and he's also incredibly sadistic, and he also goes into drama queen mode the second someone causes him pain, and he also has a scene with Goku where he scoffs at the idea of hard work mattering next to birth right, and he also has Kaio being scared of him and warning Goku that he might not win against him, and he also has henchmen who act and dress the same way as Vegeta's, and he also tries to ragequit by blowing up the planet... the list goes on.

He's probably referring to the Bardock special. Zarbon was the one who first recommended destroying Planet Vegeta because the saiyans were rapidly growing in strength.
It was actually Beerus disguised as Zarbon #StayWoke
Herms wrote:The fact that the ridiculous power inflation is presented so earnestly makes me just roll my eyes and snicker. Like with Freeza, where he starts off over 10 times stronger than all his henchmen except Ginyu (because...well, just because), then we find out he can transform and get even more powerful, and then he reveals he can transform two more times, before finally coming out with the fact that he hasn't even been using anywhere near 50% of his power. Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.

Holy shit. This is honestly infuriating. TekTheNinja has made it pretty clear that he dislikes the fact Broly only there, because of his "impact" and not because TFS likes. It's that fucking simple.

Honestly, let's just move on please and talk about relevant stuff. I'm sick of talking about this and I'm sure everyone else is sick of it too. It's an unnecessary conversation at this point and really has been for a while. I never meant to start a flame war, so let's just get back to discussing abridged and TFS and stuff.

Yes, i know. And that boils down to "A character I don't like is on the list, wah wah wah."

That's why he jumped on the mindboggingly stupid "There should be no criteria" thing, to hide the fact that he's just whining

No. It really doesn't. JFC, Why do you even fucking care ? He doesn't like the fact it's basically a popularity contest, why do you have to be a dick about it ?

"How about those Mets?" is a cliched example of small talk,similar to "Nice weather we're having." Often used to break an awkward silence or change the subject, but in a joking manner.

They are 87-75 and finished 2nd place in the NL East. Rumors are spreading that they are after Brad Brach, an ok Orioles player.

I can imagine there probably being a joke about how Hatchiyack only really ever uses 1 move, Revenger Cannon.

Has there been a confirmation on who's voicing Broly, or is that a surprise? :D

I apologize for being too harsh.

Back to speculation, I'm wondering if Raditz will be on the list. He's goku's brother, but not much came of that. On the other hand, he did herald the arrival of the saiyans
