Piccolo was a plant
I mean, he was a demon-plant,
Or maybe he was just a demon…
Oh right I forgot he was the negative essence of Kami, who cast all that off and maybe puked his own egg or just plant-divided himself and them Kami and Piccolo fuse so it's like his son-nephew came home again.

What I'm saying is Piccolo for Kingdom Hearts 4.

I enjoyed Never Say Never Again. It wasn't an 'official' Bond movie and could only be made because of a loophole with Thunderball. Connery was supposed to be an old past his prime James Bond, but he was younger than Roger Moore.

I watched it a billion times as a kid because we had it recorded off the TV.

DBZ is two shows, a fighting show and a slice of life anime, and I very much prefer when it does the latter

I like the crazy training sequences.

The fighting would be better if every fight didn't last about five times longer than it does. When they redo the movie fights in Super they wreck the pacing by making them way too long.

All I remember about Octopussy is that it features Indian professional Tennis player Vijay Armitraj in it, and in one scene he hits someone with a tennis racket.

That would explain why no one is able to recognise him. The idea to doubt someone's apparent identity either doesn't occur to them at all or seems so ridiculous that they can't imagine it actually happening.

Dragon Ball gets a lot of mileage about how the idea of action heroes having to go through normal everyday activities between adventures has incredible comedy potential, especially taking the piss out of how their personalities are usually hilariously ill-suited for life outside death-defying hijinx, or just intense enough to make them fun to watch doing pretty much anything. Or both.

My favorite part is how Chichi insists that their children get a good education so that when they grow up they have opportunities to do things other than fighting. Unlike, you know, her illiterate husband.

Hey, Goku was only illiterate until Master Roshi's training! Where he was taught to read from the articles in dirty magazines.

Funny thing is that Master Roshi's training regimen is actually rounded and well thought out for the most part despite its ridiculous intensity, and it becomes a plot point that the Crane Hermit in contrast taught Tien and Chiaotzu advanced techniques but they still needed to count their fingers to do basic math.

Dragon Ball has a weirdly realistic approach to training that I don't think I've seen in really any other anime. I mean yeah, they're obviously doing things that are completely impossible in reality but there's still times where they make a point of showing how it's just as important to rest your body too instead of constantly overtraining it, the Cell saga being the big one there.

That's true, but considering in real life people wear weighted cuffs etc. for fitness that falls under 'Real techniques being amazingly effective' rather than straight-up magic.

In comparison, it was hilarious in the Buu saga where Vegeta is teleported to a dimension with 10x gravity and his opponent is acting all smug, and Vegeta is like, "Nah, I don't even feel it." And then he just kills the guy without even trying.

Weights on your wrists/ankles for general training or alternatively holding a dumbbell while practicing punches is a thing so at least it draws a little from reality.

Just to reiterate I was more talking about the attitude towards rest being an important part of training and not so much about whether or not the training itself was realistic

I'm pretty sure Goku Vs. Freiza in Z still holds the world record for longest single fight in a visual medium or something like that. You cut it together and that poo poo's over five hours.

Doesn’t that fight also take place against a backdrop of “The planet is going to explode in only 10 minutes!!!”, which really highlights how long it’s taking?
