it's not that i necessarily think the original was entirely bad, it's just that i absolutely loving hated broly's motivation (if you can even call it that)

Hard agree. Before the DBS Broly movie even existed, I always thought it would've made way more sense for Broly to hate Vegeta and that the Kakarot!!!!!!!1 thing always felt shoehorned in just because Goku was the main character.

broly having such a stupid reason for hating goku was the only good/toriyama-esque thing about old broly

Yeah, somehow this is also true.

Just thinkin about the old days of DBZ where all the incredibly overserious screamy shounen stuff would be punctuated by just the most bafflingly batshit writing.

If anything DBS has at least got a better balance between gags and shounen stuff but I do feel like we lost something along the way............... :rip:

So this just happened. I mean it was obvious that if they did Buu it'd be in shorts because there's nothing there

:rip:

But for real, TFS ending DBZA has kind of been a given for a while now yeah? The real punch in the gut, for me at least, is that besides Hellsing Abridged (I think that's also done?) the rest of their content is so forgettable it hurts.

I would feel differently if I knew the other stuff they were working on was as high quality as dbza ended up being, but a lot of it swings between mediocre to boring. It especially doesn't make sense considering how consistently good dbza was - you'd think they'd found a winning formula that could pretty easily be applied to their other stuff, but also maybe I don't understand comedic writing.

Am I alone here and just not giving the rest of their content a fair chance or is this actual? I've considered that maybe I only liked dbz abridged because it took me for a ride on that sweet nostalgia train, but I'm leaning towards it being actually Good and Cool.

Super is already goofy as is though?


Remember Satan Punch?

lmao Goku picking up the tractor as he pretends to get knocked out of the arena is legitimately one of the funniest things they've done, it ranks up there with the Freeza/Broly super saiyan thing and 17 blowing up transforming fighters. Yeah Super is goofy as hell, it just wasn't the greatest produced thing sometimes, even when compared to the clusterfuck that Z was - though I guess they had manga panels to storyboard off of in Z's case?

aaannnd there it is. I guess expecting TFS to work magic independent of their comedy chops and being held/holding themselves to a higher standard than the actual production company that handled the show is probably why they got burnt out

Hope when we see Super return it's higher quality since they'll have the manga to work from. The original plan was for Toyotaro to catch up to the show during its run, yeah? It just didn't work out iirc

Has TFS ever done any 'making of' vids where they take people behind the process of making an abridged episode? It'd be really interesting to see all the work behind the scenes.

i'm not super well versed in RWYB, but i did see a bunch of episodes in the fourth season, and i have to disagree. at least in that season, the animation was quite well done (for what it is, i guess). maybe not the best, but certainly the fight animation/choreography could compete decently with the average anime's.

the newer seasons aren't bad in the animation department, yeah. the prob is that to have any chance at having an idea of what's going on, you've gotta go through the earlier seasons, and a few of those are the eptiome of poor CGI animation

Heroes has the entirety of Dragon Ball to play with, and yet somehow they manage to remain boring and uninspired. It's amazing

I don't know the exact name for it but there's a concept where the idea is that limitation and constraint inspire creativity more so than being completely unconstrained, and I think, aside from all its many other problems, maybe DB Heroes is a good example of the effect of having too much freedom.

Here's a silly thought for Moro's defeat.
Merus will fight Moro and let his powers be copied. Then when the other angels intervene for interfering with mortals they'll erase Merus and sensing Merus in Moro erase him as well.

The arc should have ended with A Trunks victory honestly. He was set up and had actual connections to Cell

cell's bro and sis killed future gohan though. at least gohan's arm being busted at the end is a cool callback to him being one-armed in the future

It's kinda sad that future Trunks is such a cool character but somehow never gets what he wants. His only win ever I think (maybe?) was against the future versions of the androids and cell. Buu too I guess but it was off screen so it doesn't count :colbert:
