    He's a little shit though so it's still very satisfying watching him job.

    I kinda felt like he didn't job in the ToP. He took a lot of people out and was instrumental to their strategy in taking out two of the strongest assholes in the whole thing.

    And he also tanked the Hakai energy like it wasn't shit.

    I think Recoome getting blasted in the gut or Goku's shot to Piccolo's gut in the 3rd Martial Arts Tournament are two of the absolute best.

    You'd have to give him some character development or write an arc where he doesn't feel like he needs to kill Goku and Vegeta or enslave all of Earth the moment he can.

    I loved when Frieza started monologuing to Jiren and mocking him for being a failure

    Then Jiren gets up, steps on Frieza's tail, and beats the shit out of him like he's one of those bop em inflatable clowns.

    Watching that clip they seem to have put him in the Worf role, where he's the strongest one there is, so the new super character destroys him to show how strong that character is.

    I think they at least did him right having him hold out against Broly and not be at all worried he is still out there, but Frieza is very intelligent and it would've been nice to see him using some kind of tactics in that fight instead of just powering up.

    He sneakily survived Broly way longer than Goku or Vegeta was able to, and Vegeta’s rant at the beginning of the movie sold me on Frieza as an ever present threat.

    Besides what makes Frieza great as a villian is that he revels in punching down, since that’s all he’s done his entire life.

    He’s the purest personification of a Bully. He won’t pick a fight he doesn’t feel like he can win handily, and is passive until he knows he has the upper hand.

    Should've kept frieza dead and revived Cell instead

    Teach him to go Super Saiyan Blue, and agree that he can live after the tournament as long as he agrees not destroy any planets

    The Broly movie has Vegeta sweating over the idea that Freeza's goign to decide to train any additional amount more than "not at all" before returning to kill both him and Goku, and that they won't be able to stop it

    Given that he went from his original strength to "able to finger flick Majin Buu into oblivion" in the space of three months, if they want Freeza to flex then he certainly could. Hell, if the Broly arc gets adapted into the anime, I suspect he actually might

    Vegeta is a very typical rich boy who was born into power. He would likely berate all the other saiyans for not pulling themselves up by their bootstraps enough to beat Frieza themselves, like he did, who obviously worked for everything (he didn’t) and never took a handout from anyone (he did)

  • EnlongEnlong Registered User regular
    I think it's really telling that, in the Broly movie, young Vegeta's first reaction to being told that the planet has been destroyed is, basically "Aw dammit. Now I'll never get to be King Vegeta." *continues eating*

  • Munkus BeaverMunkus Beaver You don't have to attend every argument you are invited to. Philosophy: Stoicism. Politics: Democratic SocialistRegistered User, ClubPA regular
    Can I say that I personally prefer it when Vegeta was drawn as a very, very short man with very, very tiny limbs instead of the later series choice to make him a beefcake of muscle.

    Ive been listening to all systems Goku and they brought up this point when Vegeta died the first time. He gives this whole sob story about being taken as a child and made into the thing he is and how if he cared that much about saiyens as a race he should have cared more about Nappa and Raditz.

    I think it makes sense though. Vegeta is a complicated dude with a lot of damage. He can hate the person he is without being able to rise above the way he was raised.

    Freeza was more annoyed by hell than shown the error of his ways so he couldnt reincarnate
    He is also now banned from Earth Hell

    It was something that used to matter a lot in Dragonball, Shenron could restore bodies to life that were not dead for a year and only if the bodies hadn't been like, extra damaged.

    It's why Goku moves the fight with Vegeta away from the corpse party.

    Yeah. The only reason it works for Freeza is that he’s that hard to actually kill. When Trunks had chopped him into pieces, he apparently wasn’t actually dead until Trunks followed that up by incinerating the chunks.

    Wait, how does this work for people who died by being incinerated, like when Vegeta killed that bleacher’s worth of people? Those bodies were gone, yo.
