It's the same thing with Korin and Yajirobe, they went way too fucking far with it. "Haha, they live together and bicker so what if we made them like an old Jewish married couple" isn't a terrible premise for a handful of off-hand jokes. Making a video about their marriage proposal in the wake of gay marriage being federally legal and making 3 of the movies about their wedding including one where they're FUCKING DRAWN IN BECAUSE THEY DON'T EVEN MAKE AN APPEARANCE IN THE OFFICIAL VERSION is way over the top and reeks of them thinking they're legitimate progressive pioneers for LBGTQ+ characters in internet meme anime parodies.
I think my biggest issue with that is how fucking flat, meaningless, and forgettable it is. Whenever I rewatch the series or movies, I always forget that those scenes exist, and by the end of the runtime, they go back to being forgotten entirely.
 
The reason given by the team in one of their countdowns, IIRC, as to why they did this was because the team sympathized with Dr. Wheelo and felt that the actual ending of World's Strongest was awful and bad, and that THEY could do it better.

Well I mean it was on par with the crappier-looking episodes of DBZ, but I don't think that was their intention.
2016, eh? I guess they were working to make their own fan dub earlier than I thought.
 
This is MasakoX

"Why yes, I make anime videos for a living. How could you tell?"
Speaking of MasakoX, he was way too good at doing female voices. I remember way back in the TGWTG days when Benzaie was doing the Let's Fap series where he played through ancient porn games and he got MasakoX to do the voice for the main female character on a live show where they played X-Change. They got to the first sex scene and MasakoX did the voice so convincingly that Benzaie and a huge part of the crowd got creeped the fuck out, and Benzaie decided to do the female character himself while imitating Kermit the Frog.

That....doesn't seem like the worst thing in the world. So what, he creeped people out. Big whoop.
 
Not going to lie, I haven't actually watched any of Super besides the Broly movie and the other two new movies. I'll take your word for it that it has a lot of bloat and an unsatisfying conclusion.

Most animes I've watched that had a tournament arc are guilty of bloat. It's worse with Dragonball since they had a ton of tournament arcs. The only anime I recall that had a good tournament arc was Yu Yu Hakusho.
Probably because the Dark Tournament is the setting for the plot, rather than the plot. YYH is probably one in a small handful of animu to not turn into an autistic spaghetti 'fest. It didn't lose itself in the "it's a tourney guise!" and proceeded to shoehorn a metric crapton of one-shot characters you'd never see again and provided nothing to the plot.
I liked Goku/Cell homoerotic theme because it made sense in the context of the story/dub and was a foundation for some cool quips. I wouldn't mind if Kaiserneko put all his gay shit in Buu saga if the dub was funny. During the last two episodes of Cell saga it was painfully, unfunny obvious TFS ran out of jokes. If they were still going the only funny thing about this would be the Youtube comments on their videos.
With the monkey paw in hand, I give you my counter argument:

Fusion would be a whole lot of Steven Universe references. Yes, that means everyone who fuses is fucking gay for the other person, very deep down. Yes, a lot of "Vegeta being in a blastproof closet" jokes would be made.

Do you really want that?

Oh God, you are exactly right. It would Steven Universe all over again.
 
That's not a thing in Steven Universe. Stop believing everything you read online.
It's used as a literal metaphor for making love between certain characters like Garnet's components. It'd be Kaiser twisting it and soiling a harmless gimmick into his fetishistic slash fic bullshit.

It’s going deeper than that: Garnet was said to be the manifestation of the relationship between Ruby and Sapphire, and those fuckers even got a dedicated proposal and wedding aspect to their relationship (wasn’t that just Rebecca Sugar saying “I’m going to put this LGBT shit into my show. Fuck you, network heads!”), so if anything, making a bunch of Yaoi crap with the likes of Gotenks would probably interfere with the “glorified fan dub” aspect of DBZA that solidified with the Cell Saga.

I've been watching the Nuzlockes as background noise when I'm half-asleep and want to watch something that I don't really care about missing, and I got to this bit in a Grant/Kirran only episode of Emerald and it reminded me of how much of a tightass stick-in-the-mud the core group has gotten and how that joke never would've made it to air if Lani was sitting in with them.

 
I must say, rewatching ther stuff they do wear their atheist views on their sleeves. An I aint talking just about Hellsing, when Krillin meets Dendy and tells him about the afterlife, with Dendy going "That sounds made up and retarded" and Krillin agreeing, that joke so doesnt work because in this universe the afterlife does exist.

It'd be fine if Dende said just that and Krillin let it be since perhaps to the Namekians, the afterlife is something entirely different, but nah, in DBZA the afterlife isn't what one thinks it is even if they've been there before.

It'd be even worse if Goku had agreed with it. Least with Krillin, he's a bit of a cuck/punching bag in DBZA, and can't really make up his own mind at times.
