Re: Why is everyone able to put up a fight against anyone now?

Yes, it's obviously logically possible that the writers could provide an explanations for things they aren't. I'm saying that it's unrealistic to expect that the show would be produced in a way that allows for feats to telegraph someone's placement on the power scale in the same way that feats woul...

Re: Why is everyone able to put up a fight against anyone now?

This is a long post for what is basically a no. No, it's a long post explaining how what you said makes no sense. But if you really want a suggestion, despite how ridiculous it is to ask of me to do better than the writers before I'm allowed to criticize, the fandom has already speculated some sugg...

Re: Why is everyone able to put up a fight against anyone now?

so unless you can give me a better method on how to make the characters Even if it was indeed impossible to do that, then good writing would be making a good story using what is indeed possible to explain reasonably and satisfactorily. Not using what can't be explained reasonably and satisfactorily...

Re: Why is everyone able to put up a fight against anyone now?

I agree that it's obvious, but I still maintain that there's no way it could have happened any other way, There wasn't? There literally wasn't any possibility that professional writers, with their near unlimited imagination being their only true limit, to figure out a way, an explanation to make it...

Re: Fanfic writers villifying...

There's no need to be a moral reason to justify vilifying Yamcha, if someone wrote that he didn't pay a bill on time and justify it to make him worse than Freeza that's their right. Er...

Re: Fanfic writers villifying...

Like I said above, that point is moot. The series shows more of Bulma trying to cheat than Yamcha, so, at worst, Yamcha is no worse than Bulma, and at best, Bulma is definitely worse than Yamcha, even if he did cheat. My point is that Yamcha is a cheater which is what was being disputed. What does ...

Re: In my opinion, after the Namek arc, DBZ was a let down

Yeah I did, but whatever No, you just repeated affirmations. You view Freeza as being pragmatic, when it's clear that isn't true at all No, I view him as inconsistent. That's the whole issue. Freeza fears the Saiyans might become stronger, but he keeps Vegeta alive? Exactly. Freeza is portrayed as ...

Re: Fanfic writers villifying...

Yamcha did start as a villain he was going to let Goku, Oolong and Bulma die in the desert. That's one good reason. Another is him cheating on Bulma. There's some seeds to develop that perspective. Of course the point of one being the writer is to make anything you want happen, if people want to ha...

Re: Questions about collecting the series on VHS

Imo, it might be worth it as a collection but not as a "usable" collection for the enjoyment of the series, due to the VHSs being pretty old by now and thus fragile. If you really want it as a collection, I think the best would be to invest in a digital transfer to preserve how they looked...

Re: Fanfic writers villifying...

YAMCHA? What? Tv Tropes has a whole section where villified DB characters (Ron The Death Eater) are catalogued...and an astounding amount goes to villifying poor Yamcha. I wont complain about this but its remarkable and worthy of discussion. Why is this so? http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Mai...

Re: Why is everyone able to put up a fight against anyone now?

Has Super really given us anything this egregious though? It's not like we had Krillin and Jiren going toe-to-toe, with nobody batting an eye, and no explanation, which is about what your example would be comparable to. It's common practice to use hyperbole while using an example to clearly the dem...

Re: In my opinion, after the Namek arc, DBZ was a let down

He does his own dirty work when he's left with few to no options. By that point, the Ginyus were busy, Busy? Instead of ordering Ginyu to guard the ship and the Dragon Balls (aka just stand there) while Freeza went away on his own to get the secrets of the balls, Freeza could have just ordered Giny...

Re: In my opinion, after the Namek arc, DBZ was a let down

Except that he's not that pragmatic as he's more powerful all of the Ginyu Force combined. Like I said, that can all be explained by the mere fact that he didn't have scouters. It doesn't matter how powerful he is if he can't find his enemies nor just blow up the planet. Clearly he cares more to ha...

Re: Why is everyone able to put up a fight against anyone now?

Good writing. Master Roshi's ToP episode was one of DBS' best and it wouldn't exist if we still kept the DBZ ideology. Honestly, I blame DBZ for going way too high the power pole and not letting everyone catch up. It limited too many characters. If it was good writing there would be actual good and...

Re: In my opinion, after the Namek arc, DBZ was a let down

How does that hurt the story? On one hand, we have Freeza deciding to wipe all the saiyans simply because they were getting a bit powerful collectively and Freeza deciding to call the Ginyu force (despite Zarbon's doubts that they were needed) and Freeza proclaiming, almost prophetically, that he h...

Unless it's confirmed that Kakarotto is immortal in the DBM novel (I haven't read it), there's really nothing confirming it yet, since nothing has yet confirmed it in the comic.
