Stupidity on the home front

Post by Bardock the Mexican » Tue Sep 26, 2006 5:19 pm

I had some idea that there wasn't a similar problem in the DBZ Mexican community as in the English community. I was wrong and it shows in the following evidence which I have named exhibito "A". The case in point is [url=http://vegeta_german.mx.tripod.com/dragoncall/id17.html]"Los Nievals de Poder"[/url]. So that is about the size of the crisis we have folks. If you arn't understanding why I don't like this, then let me explain why. I think that the idea of power levels creates mentality that is detrimental to our views of the characters. DBZ was never meant to be about numbers and who is better than who.

Sorry Mr.The Mexican, I don't even know what your trying to say. Do kids think the DBZ CCG's power levels are official or somthing?

It's been said before and I'll say it again.

The only battle powers that have any merit are from when Raditz first arrives to when the Ginyu Special Forces are beaten and the last of the scouters are destroyed.

And I know we have that battle power reading of Trunks being at five at the beginning of the Jinzoningen Arc, but that isn't exactly an accurate reading of Trunks' strength.

I'm sorry to hear that's it's the same for fans in multiple countries and people can't just take things for granted. Powerlevels are one of the main reasons that DBZ leaves a bad impression on people. I can't begin to count the times when my friends have teased me with "Oh, but I'm only using 0.0000001% of my power!!!" and I find it extremely offensive because that's what they think it's all about (super saiyans being another super turn-off) and these fanboys aren't helping the cause! Though I don't really have any right to be angry, it's everyone's cartoon and they should all be free to worship as they will, however immature.
