Let's ruin Dragonball!

Post by Rory » Mon Nov 16, 2009 4:51 pm

Inconsistancy/that's plain fucking dumb thread!

Simple thread, something that really bothers you about Dragonball, that you want to share with everybody else (let's stick to one problem per person).

I'll start!
Let's put Yajirobe on the spine of Dragonball TWICE , for no reason!!

You won't unsee it.

Ok guys, your turn!

Let's power up Gohan twice only for him to become useless.
The series doesn't start with the arrival of Raditz. Stop being lazy and watch Dragonball.

I wish the manga had more color. Also I guess Bulma's hair being purple kinda bugged me.

Let's take two pages from the manga and stretch it out fifteen minutes!
Let's rewrite character techniques!
Let's rebrand the series with som extraneous letter! Giving off the impression, to... I don't know, let's say a dubbing company in Fort Worth, TX, that the two shows are in fact different(see! One has an extra letter at the end!), thus giving them the idea to market them differently!
Let's delete fan videos on YouTube, and leave up full episodes!

I find subtlety to be the best wat to handle these types of things.

Let's try to apply real world logic to Dragon Ball!
Yamcha: Do you remember the spell to release him - do you know all the words?
Bulma: Of course! I'm not gonna pull a Frieza and screw it up!
Master Roshi: Bulma, I think Frieza failed because he wore too many clothes!

Let's use this new thing called POWER LEVELS to gauge how strong someone is!

Kinda of an add-on to the other Gohan thing:

Let's build the series as a "pass-the-torch" series, and then abandon that whole idea towards the end, and bring Goku as the ultimate savior.

Tee-hee! Fandom ruins it! :D

In all honesty, the animation in episode 96. Look at the size of that mutha' fuckin' hair, man.

Just like Rory said... you won't unsee it.

It wasn't QUITE that huge in the manga (though it was still pretty big when first introduced).

Such is Shonen Jump... You have little say on the development of your story if it conflicts with what the fans [read: paying customers of the magazine] want.

Lets ruin dragonball by giving Vegeta a moustache and thinking up the Garlic Jr saga and stretching it that long! :(

Let's let Funimation do the dub! :lol:

Let's give children (Trunks & Goten) the battle power of the previous emperor of the universe (Freeza).
