in fairness, Z really doesn’t focus on power levels that much. It’s just the fandom had an entire arc where the badguys were told it was bullshit and yet the fandom is so retarded they did not get the memo.
surprisingly great
Good to know but when I said originally I meant the entire original manga, so everything from kid Goku to the end of buu because correct me if I'm wrong there was no differentiation between Z and original DB like the anime like how Jojo or Baki started making each parts as there own thing or even a pause in publication when they switched parts like CSM did.
Noble Red is trash but at least when they get dunked on you can appreciate the main girls being cool.
The original Dragon Ball is more comedy focused basically through the first tournament. After that it gets more serious, especially by the King Piccolo saga, where it basically becomes like Dragon Ball Z. And, of course, all of Dragon Ball Z is a 10/10 except maybe the last half of the Majin Buu saga as an 8.0/10.
I will be watching, hopefully it reaches the current arc in season 2.
That was so retarded, that the only thing more retarded about that character was how he was ultimately defeated. But I figured the shear stupidity of that was self-evident.
I liked how they changed the recap from the Goblin POV instead of reusing the footage like the film did. Clever!
I like the original Dragon Ball. Z has too much filler and tends to get ridiculous. GT at least had him turn back into a kid, but I do no like those character designs with the sharp lines. Reminds me of the Dr. Slump remake that looks just as bad. And you're right, the movies and specials are entertaining. I was not expecting to hear Maximum the Hormone do a song about Frieza.
That's always funny to me. The show literally comes with a disclaimer "don't put little Timmy in front of this", and then they act shocked when goblins act like goblins, and Goblin Slayer is completely justified in wanting to wipe them out.
The first episode was good. I fully believe that little mage kid is going to get traumatized for life, but I don't want the priestess to get harmed.
I think of two things:
That may be a bit far off depending on how they're going to pace each arc. I could see it going more like this:
I grew up reading books and stories about these creatures, like many, to act like a Goblin isn't a theiving raping monster is silly. They can be goofy at times, but at the end of the day, they want to eat you. That's how they've been written for hundreds of years.
Had a friend that was basically #2 to a T. Violence was awesome for him. Literally anything else that made him uncomfortable he couldn't handle. Like, bro, you actually get mad at Anime villains, want to kill them even if they have a redemption arc, but oh dear, heaven forbid if a monster is a monster.
Orcs and Goblins are linked in a lot of media and Orcs had rape undertones with half Orcs in DnD. Plus there is probably a fusion of Goblins with Japanese folklore monsters who were more rape happy, like the Kappa.
I thought Kappa stole your soul through your ass, not outright rape.
people casually tolerating murder and gore but being fazed by rape will never not be a sign of severe cognitive dissonance
