    Caulifla is great; she’s the best aspects of Goku and Vegeta rolled into a single badass.

    Kale is very meh, but I’ve never cared for the frustratingly timid ‘notice me senpai’ characters.

    I love the Universe 6 characters since they're interesting twists on the OG Saiyans.

    And Kale having a very not secret crush on her Goku, while hating OUR Goku because he's stealing her attention was a brilliant " Makin Broly canon" move.

    They did it in a way no one saw coming and it's great.

    I finally got around to watching the latest episode. I liked it for the most part.
    I didn’t like that they brought 17 back.

    He’s been my favorite Universe 7 character the whole tournament for sure and I always want more DBS 17, but way to wuss out TOIE. You finally have the guts to kill off a character to give some impact to the ToP story, but nope, gotta take that away.

    What’s up with this arc and people not dying from blowing themselves up? First Vegeta and now 17?

    I did like how Jiren lost his temper and attacked the people in the stands. I wasn’t really invested in the fight until that happened. It’s nice both Jiren and Goku have something going on besides, “Rawr! Strength!” And, “Rawr! Fight!”
    Vegeta's Final Explosion doesn't literally cause him to explode, it just uses up all (or now almost all) of his life energy.

    Tenshinhan's motivation for villainy was being raised wrong by a jerk who's jealous of Roshi.

    If he's stronger now, it should kill him even more.

    pretty sure it's just Vegeta powering up as high as possible and then dropping whatever barrier there is between his energy and everywhere outside his body

    whole lotta energy going off like a big ban- wait a minute

    I dont think he did. Vegeta fully intended to die both times. I'm thinking the second time though he managed to hold back just enough to survive by chance

    I have not heard good things about the dragonball movies

    Primarily because I think neearly all of them are at least partial retellings of the series

    Also looking it up: The first and fourth ones are retellings of, respectively, the Pilaf saga and all of DB, the middle two are original stories.

    Fair enough! I thought it was 3/4 retellings

    They're also kind of more like alternative retellings - the Pilaf gang aren't actually in the first one, for instance, and it's a completely different villain who serves a similar role. I dunno how accurate the fourth one is, but given that it's got Emperor Chiaotzu I'm going to assume that it's quite different.

    I only remember the one that kind of had the beginning of Goku and Krillin's training when Bulma's kidnapped because naturally and it's just some...evil dinosaur/demon guy in some barren hellscape fortress? Maybe vaguely vampire-esque? I don't remember at all.

    the best dragon ball films are the DBZA ones

    though I suspect the early ones haven't aged well joke-wise

    Having just marathoned all of them, they hold up better than you'd expect.

    The "Princess Trunks" jokes from the recent Broly one they did irritated me more than the stuff they did in their earlier film parodies.

    Bear in mind 17 just vanished after Cell. I'm not sure how popular he was back then ( Toriyama did have him act more like a bad guy) 18 got way more development.

    Christmas Tree of Might, or Plan To Eradicate Christmas?

  • JavenJaven Registered User regular
    I remember liking Tree of Might when I was a kid, but man that is probably the worst of them

  • EnlongEnlong Registered User regular
    I did like how they tried to make Tree of Might work in Xenoverse 2. I can totally buy that that tree was meant to be grown by and for the gods, and Tullece just stole the seeds from somewhere.

    I think I saw Tree of Might, Deadzone, and World's Strongest when they were done by the ocean dub and aired on Toonami?

    Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.

    I love Tree of Might as a kid. Purple Goku had some sweet attacks.

    And I don't think it's the worst of them. Bio Broly, dead zone, and probably the slug movie all take that cake for me. Maybe even the second Broly movie too.

    I only ever saw the first 3, but on rewatch I definitely like Dead Zone more than Tree of Might.

    They probably will since one of the season 2 rumors was a pack of Universe 6 Saiyans with Cabba and Kale w/Caulifla assist a.k.a. the dumbest possible way to do a set of those characters.

    Why?

    WHY?

    A. They should be two separate characters, I mean come on
    B. Why in the hell isn't it at least the other way around?

    That doesn't even make sense from the perspective of the show

    Kale seemed to hate fighting without Caulifla next to her.

    But the supposed leak has Caulifla as an assist for Kale ala 17 with 18 so she would be?
