Different strokes for different folks I guess. Some people prefer different ways for characters to look and it's gonna be like that until the end of time. Can you explain what you mean by "here"? I've hardly ever seen situations such as what you're implying.

I have no idea what is happening here. Are we having a serious discussion about craft?

I don't think a serious discussion was the intent. A little more substance would have been nice. Ajay's response was pretty appropriate. I mean, what else can you really say?

Um...opening up a thread with a blanket statement, only to follow it immediately with 'you're wrong if you think this' in a one sentence explanation...is not exactly the best way to inspire conversation usually.

Not to mention, in this case? The saying is most definitely right in that art, like so many other things, is going to come down to an opinion at the end of the day. I'm not entirely sure if you mean art as in like 'the arts', or if you mean specifically like drawings, but I'm going to go on with the assumption you mean the latter. You're no doubt right that other artists are going to be all the more able to tell if something is actually really well drawn, or angled, or whatever it is they're specifically looking for at the moment, than your common everyday fan - but people in general are still capable of telling what it is they like and don't like, and thus what they find to be really good art versus what they find to be bad art.

The Mona Lisa is crap. I know so because a guy on the internet told me. True story.

I mean, we all know this thread is gonna be locked, so we might as well enjoy it until then.

Heck, for what it's worth, I actually do hold the opinion that Picasso is greatly overrated. :P But I can only draw well enough to sit there and go 'wow does that look nothing like what was in my head', so what do I know?

Um...okay? I'm not even sure what this thread is about

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!

I was expecting something more elaborated from OP, I´m dissapointed.
This type of actions will give you a bad reputation on the forum and the next time you won´t to have a serious discussion with other members, no one will take you seriously.
Dragon Ball was always a kid series and fans should stop being in denial.

I'm not really sure what the OP is going for here exactly, but I'll take a guess and say that he's arguing against those who handwave problems with the series by saying it's all subjective and up to taste.

You sir, deserve to be in my signature. Boobies are the best form of art. From small and perky all the way to big and bouncy. <3

Are you talking about the problems with Super's animation? Because I agree, a lot of what I've seen is total shit(although I stopped watching around the end of the Freeza arc so maybe it has gotten better)but it would be really nice if you would elaborate.
