I wonder if the 'If The Emperor Had a Text-To-Speech Device' also goes down the rout of DBZA with insane time delay between episodes, making a new canon rather than laughing at the old one (including cringe dramatic moments) and jokes getting overused to the point you just want to move on.

Don't know since I don't watch nor do I have any interest in Warhammer.

They've already done cringe drama scenes and played them off as jokes within the show (almost as if they know it's bad), had their own bad canon takes and reduced everything to a couple of jokes that have been milked drier than the Atacama desert.
 
I see TTS falling into the same traps DBZA felt, like making stupid offshot joke shorts instead of putting those jokes in the main videos. TTS's main series' episodes have been pretty lame recently IMO - too little affectionate parody and too much lolrandom monkeycheese.

The funniest thing about parodies is when they start taking themselves seriously.

Well that's one way to describe the Cell Saga. Or at least episode 60. When do you think that happened with TFS and DBZA?

Since it's on topic, you think this TTS thing has enough material for a Kiwi Farms thread? Or at least something to be worth putting in the Multimedia section?

It's cute that I'm finally an autoritah on something :)

I rewatched a lot of DBZA during 2015, up to ep. 53. Vegeta vs. Perfect Cell (final flash!) and Trunks vs. P. Cell fights are ingenious and infinitely quotable. Then I hit a roadblock of delayed TFS updates, so I forgot about DBZA for a while. When I got back later to experrience the new episodes, I wasn't happy. #cellgames makes me cringe. I guess the quality goes downhill after ep. 53. Frieza Saga and early Cell Saga are great. Episodes 1-9 (before Vegeta & Nappa arrive on Earth) are fucking lame maaaan. Broly & Garlic abridged OVAs were lame, too - skip those.

When did TFS has gone downhill - fuck if I know. I was interested in their work, not in them as people. From what I know from this thread, TFS consists of a junkie, a twitteratti and a guy who makes very "authentic" feminine porn dubs. They're all sourpussed about Toei cockblocking them from making voiceacting careers. Fuck them, and doublefuck Kaiserhomo for delaying DBZA content so hard.

If the Emperor had a Text-to-speech Device is not lolcow material; Bruva Alfabusa & Co. keep their private lives private AFAIK. TTS became cringy as of late, but they have the courtesy to not insert IRL politics and other boring shit in their creations.

TL;DR: would it be funny if Krillin was gay in TFS dub? What could be done with Android 18 then...

Tbh I'm doubtful dbza is really gone forever one day they'll start thinking of ideas again or something and production will end up starting again writer's block always passes even if it takes awhile

Ye, the moment money starts running low they'll find a brand new wellspring of ideas. Just like all those fibromyaglia cases that would be cured instantly the moment you'd put them against a wall and pointed a gun at them.

I'd rather they don't do DBZA again. One more fucking episode and we'll learn Kami is gay or something... wait, they already did that.

I wouldn't mind more I'm probably in a minority on this thread but I enjoyed dbza from start to end and never really disliked anything particularly about it except maybe perpetuating the "goku is a bad father" meme

Speaking of, I found what I believe may be a functioning archive of the event.


Problem is it's Flash, which is dead. Anyone here able to extract something watchable from this?

The video itself was on Blip which is now dead, the Flash plugin in the archive is just the frontend for the player that would then stream the video from Blip.

If that's your way of saying "glorified fan dub with moments of "oh shit, people came to us for comedy and we forgot to add jokes", then I can understand that thinking.

And by 'jokes' you mean 'callbacks to popular old jokes, lame new jokes, callbacks to the lame new jokes and unironic cringe singing'.

Remember when Vegeta did the cool guy speeches on Namek while everyone else laughed it off and the joke was he's a delusional tryhard?
Then in android saga Vegeta does the badass speech for real against 19 and there's approx 0% comedy.

DBZA really turned to shit very quickly post-Frieza, once Kaiser got to live out his larp of his childhood twink and him&Lani deciding android saga is too cereal to truly make fun of.
