By definition he pushed down the average. im pretty sure he wouldnt give up after killing vegeta and goku, and just move on to blowing up worlds and killing everyone for the fun of it. I was just joking that if he did end up killing everyone, then the average is only his power lvl. | ||

Am I trying to be too logic here? Because Beerus didnt exist at the time in the manga. They simply retconnected that he slept or didnt do shit like with freeza and co like a bad fan fiction. Just picture it as 2 different kind of manga/animes as it isnt really the same. Less headaches that way about plotholes. | ||

I hope Gohan's time being a jobber comes to an end soon. He needs to not be bad sometime. | ||

I loved how Piccollo called Gohan out on his arrogance, was about time it was done. yeah that was great, nice to see gohan heading in the direction of being a z-fighter again. I also love that golden hair to black hair flashing when hes transforming, even tho the opposite way, it reminds me of when goku first goes super sayian epic!. Also we saw female broly or cauliflower....werid ass names lol but i really wanna see how strong she is. (also can she go super sayian atm, or does cabba have to show him. (also rofl with the cabbage and cauliflower naming) | ||

I think a few people here were telling me all this earlier, but I just wasn't willing to see it yet. It has never really felt like Goku walked away from these fights a smarter guy. "Huh, Buu is really stretchy" seemed to be all Goku got out of his ring-out with Buu. But maybe I am asking for too much drama. I continue to be hopeful that this tournament serves as some kind of amazing springboard to take this show to the next level. Make Dragon Ball Great Again! | ||

Whenever I rewatch it I can always find a fair share of plot points that I really do not care for. No need to put it on a pedestal; it was fun but it wasn't anywhere near perfect. Ofc it wasn't perfect, nothing is. It wasn't even (objectively speaking) an extremely good shounen anime. But it worked very well, it did the fighting well, the different arcs had a dramatic structure which made people care. Super only works for nostalgia, on its own it's just bad. | ||

Imo dbz is an extremely good shounen. Yes it has a lot of flaws but it did its job perfectly which is to entertain children. I don't remember any tv show of my youth coming close. You can say that the story telling is worse than some other shounen but at the end of thr day we're not the target audience anymore. | ||

Anyways, regarding the point that "we're not the target audience anymore." Probably true, but that's a design fault. If it was originally designed for children it's important to remember that the fandom can potentially last for many years and throwing out those fans in favor of catering to the younglings is a mistake that should not be made. Two anime-style western cartoons I like - Samurai Jack and Avatar - understood this and when they made further seasons well after the initial show they upgraded it an age bracket. Yu-Gi-Oh did it on one out of four attempts (5D's but nowhere else). DBZ -> DBS didn't do it and that was probably a mistake if they were concerned with retaining us original fans. Saying "fuck the old fanbase, let's make it childish and idiotic" is unfortunate - don't know how good it is as a business decision though. | ||
