Sadly he's tricked them into believing that no, they still desperately need him. And since Lani and Taka are too lazy to do the editing themselves, or get other people to do it, they'll never get rid of him.

If Kaiser had died just after the episode 60 epilogue happened, when they were still planning on doing Bojack, I think they might have cancelled it anyway. They'd say it was out of respect but personally I think they're just too scared to continue on without him.
 
Reading everyone's posts on the bits, I'd rather do my best Kurt Cobain impression than waste a single minute on them. No fucking wonder they quit, I'm sure the ghost of TFS Past would look at their present and think they suck ass too. Except Kaiserfaggot, who only seems to have standards when MovieMaker is open.
 
A few days on from that and the only joke I even remember from the second half was the one where Vegito can't say Goku. Honestly this part was even worse than the first, but at least it's over and they can fade into irrelevancy now.
 
Been rewatching the actual series the last weeks or two, and it's made me realise just how much these faggots fucked the Fandom with their bullshit. I always understood it was a parody so they were basically just doing a 180 of characters or dialing them up to 11, but holy shit is it jarring when the real series is fresh in my mind.

We all know how much they fucked these characters, but the thing that irks me the most is Kaiser and his faggot shit he crammed into it all. There's literally no point to any of it. At all. It's just there because he was the main force of the writing and a flaming faggot himself. That's it. All the homoerotic bullshit and endless sex jokes are just because he's a deviant, faggot, coomer like everyone else in the alphabet community.

It's no wonder Toei was always trying to snipe them. I would too if I was them and saw this shit.

TFS is to the Dragonball Fandom what crack was to the Black Community - nothing will ever properly repair the damage they’ve done. Is it hyperbolic - oh fuck yeah, but with how people took their parody as gospel and shouted from the heavens about it being better than the original, I don’t think it’s that much of an overstatement.

The fact none of them realized that if they put anything even remotely resembling Dragonball on merch and tried to sell it without permission might not be a good idea is probably what got them a permanent spot on Toei’s Shit List.

Japan doesn’t give a fuck about Fair Use - and afaik that doesn’t cover anything you’re actually making money off of like the merch…

I had a very similar realization with the YuGiOh abridged series (which aged like milk), made worse by the fact it would actively mock future entries for the anime.
Like damn, no wonder Japan hates this stuff. Its basically a bastardization of your product that advertises against you watching it.

I also just hate how you can't really escape TFS references in anything Dragon Ball related now. Go to discourse on any of it and some internet funny guy is going to reference it, its annoying.

Yugioh abridged works better because Martin got into it when he was in his twenties, understood how goofy and dumb it was, and made fun of it while still enjoying it. TFS, especially Kaiser, grew up with DBZ and were absolute fan boys who believed their head canons were better than anything Toriyama put together.

That's something else that crawls up my ass about TFS. You cannot go anywhere where dragonball is being discussed without seeing endless chains of people just spouting TFS lines. It derails any possible discussion you can have into nothing more than seeing who can spout the most memes.

Absolutely batshit crazy. Especially when there's a significant number of people who proudly state they've never even seen or read the actual series. Or even worse; people who insist that Abridged is the best way to introduce people to the show and the ones who unironically claim it to be BETTER.

Makes it all the sweeter that Toriyama is just like "idk, and I don't care. I make the shit up as I go, and anytime I see people insisting this or that will happen I do the exact opposite to piss them off". Only for it to end up as the most influential manga/anime of all time.
 
The thing I take exception with the most is Trunks saying "Fry-za." If you want to sperg out about the spelling, fine. But don't act like your objection is the natural response that anyone would have.

I contend that no native English speaker would look at "Frieza" and think it was pronounced /frɑɨzə/. If you disagree, OK that's your opinion. But your opinion is wrong.

That reminds me of that other Dragon Ball parody series. I can't remember what it was called, but it wasn't an abridged series and was mostly a collection of skits. One thing the creator was clearly autisticically obsessed with was the spelling of Frieza because everyone called him "Fry-za" in this forced mocking tone. Another weird one was his apparent anger of the dub not using the term "Jinzōningen" for Androids since that's what the term is in Japanese, like any fucking dub is going to do that.

I don't speak Japanese, but doesn't Jinzōningen basically mean "artificial human," in other words, an android? Doubly funny because the dub calling 17 and 18 androids was another thing TFS got pissy about.

You're exactly right, yes. Which is why it's so dumb. And I totally forgot that TFS hated it too.

Also remembered the other series' name, Alternate Reality DragonBall Z. Haven't watched it in probably a decade so I can't remember much more about it except the maker also despises the term Mystic Gohan to an autistic degree.

Alternate Reality Dragon Ball Z was DBZA before DBZA. I want to say it was made by SSJGozar if I remember right. This was back in the mid 2000's so it very much had that "I have a shitty microphone and vaguely know how to use an editing software" feel, meaning it likely aged like complete shit, but there over 60+ episodes ranging from skits to complete saga retellings.

Gozar stopped making them pretty soon after DBZA came out and I'm pretty sure it was due to DBZA fans. The series popped into my head a couple years ago and I tried to rewatch them, but most have been scrubbed from the internet other than a few reuploads. I don't know if I'd personally recommend watching them as it has been years, but one or two jokes do pop back into my head every once and awhile so at least some of it must have been good.

Edit: So I actually found a playlist of uploads. I was right in how it aged, but after so many years, I don't care. I'm rewatching it.

I enjoyed the first three Totally Not Mark's Z reviews, he explained why DBZ was great, and there was more to it than just screaming and power ups. They showed why Toriyama earnt his place as one of the best mangaka's of that era of Jump. But I ain't watching the Boo Saga reviews with Team ForeSkin being the main attraction.

They literally play the whole "what pronouns should we use for Gotenks?" Shtick seriously, with Krillin even bringing up that since Gotenks isn't "Non-Binary" it doesn't count.

Then Roshi points out accurately "BACK IN MY DAY A HOLE WAS A HOLE!"

And what is the side slapping and super clever response to this take by Videl you ask?...."You're Gross!".

Throughout this whole sequence all I could think in my head about these fallen from grace failed prog voice actors and writers was "Freaky Alien Genotypes".

If this isn't a clear cut sign that you should be happy modern TFS isn't doing the full Buu Saga then I don't know what is. The Videl "you're gross" part has made me wonder if part of why she said that was because Roshi tried to touch her tits but regardless I am not all surprised they made her utter that line.

The part that bothers me the most was Krillin. Sure I can see this naive highschool girl who's around society a lot being like this but TFS Krillin giving the smallest crap about this knowing his history felt way out of character.

The Master Roshi line is actually hilarious not only because it's a funny and a 100% accurate line but it is something I can see the normies regularly quoting and doing it enough to make Kaiser regret making it in the first place like he did with the Freaky Alien Genotype joke.
