I forget, are they good wrestlers or just for their gimmicks? They usually do a rather large skit before they get into the ring that I've forgotten if they're good or not.

they're good. not like remarkably talented technically, but they use that flying japanese style that's popular lately and it plays to their strengths. plus they all have great mic skills and really amazing chemistry, those aren't gimmicks

They have a bunch of crap going on but DBZA is their bread and butter and the thing most people know/care about. I have a feeling the reason isn't "personal" but who knows? If they end up wrapping the whole thing up I hope they at least finish the Cell saga first.

Alternatively DBZA stopped because they realized they weren't that funny.

I've watched enough of their videos to know that their humor basically applies to teenagers that spend their days watching LPs. They're fine as an abridged thing, but humorous? Nah.

This is a thread for Dragonball, the series where the monkey man named after a vegetable has battled a robot girl who waves poop on a stick. I'm pretty sure the "well, it's not sophisticated and adult humor" argument isn't finding very fertile ground here.

At the start it was like that, it improves dramatically from the end of the frieza saga

I would say the middle when they incorporated jokes instead of the weird family guy humor all the other abridged series fell into.

DBZA after the Androids is really good, but tbh I'm really not a fan of the stuff they create originally. Maybe it's because the art doesn't mesh well with the original images

In the spirit of DBZ, they've been informed that they can only get to the next part of the Cell saga if they redo the entire series up to this point.

No that is objectively bad.

Trying to graft new stuff on already existing animation is already a hard task and none of them are animators so.

Though what that has to do with humor is beyond me.

An unfunny, out of character, cheap sex joke is probably the worst example you could have used but this is dbz abridged and that's a good 85% of their content.

Yeah nostalgia. Though poop jokes weren't really a thing in Dragonball.

Most of its humor was ironically cheap sex jokes, at the expense of a 16 year old girl no less

Hell, at least they made DBZA Bulma feel awkard about it, canon Bulma wasn't a bit embarrased after finding out his identity.

Yep.

Dragon Ball didn't really focus on comedy by the time Z rolled around aside from maybe a handful of quick gags. Honestly I feel that's where some people get to disliking Super--if all you've seen is DBZ, you're getting way more comedy than you were expecting. If anything, you can argue about the results but DBZA at least tries to put more humor into DBZ and I say good on them for even trying.

If I have to choose which side of the fandom I want to see more of, and my choices are SSJ5 Arbuckle Goku or fan parodies with hit or miss jokes, I will always take the latter. The people who want it too serious are just bizarre to me.

Maybe TFS are just getting bored of doing DBZ Abridged.

I enjoy it maybe not as much as anyone because I'm a dour rear end in a top hat but some of the material is repetitious and not always fresh. They're increasingly going towards making their own content for the DBZA with re-drawing and poo poo.

What I'd say to them as a fan of DBZA (I don't watch anything else of theirs and won't start to) is that if they're not sure if they have good ideas or if they're not feeling it would be to do the end of the Cell saga as well as they possibly can do and then say Buu saga happens if it happens and doesn't if it doesn't.

They should probably go into doing LP/Generic YouTuber content funded by Patreon money and get paid as professional VAs though if companies continue to ask them to do the dubs for them. Get themselves a proper established career on top of this.

I don't think it's that they don't like it anymore and it's more they know that eventually it will end so they are taking every opportunity to diversify so when it does end they don't immediately die as they seem to have built their lives around doing this.

There is no evidence they are tired of it that is just fans being all sky is falling as they tend to do.
