I really like Cell's characterization. He's gross and weird and reminds me of the McPoyles from Always Sunny.

cool but crude
Before the rend of this arc, Vegeta will have another anger aneurysm.

But I have to say, I am still not digging this form of Cell. His first form my favorite in the series proper, mostly because he is not just a pretty boy with muscles, and I am sure the perfect form is were the real meat of jokes will come into play, but as of now, I am somewhat underwhelmed.

Nah. He's a bit smarter and a lot rapey-er. I wasn't really feeling it at first, but on further reflection I think it fits him pretty well.

Also, is Piccolo doing the Kamehameha for giggles something that actually happened in the series or just a throwaway abridged line?

I'm pretty sure he used it at one point in DB, during the tournament.

Really? Because I'm loving the guy so far. Demented sociopathic thrillseeker is a pretty fun take on Cell.

I'm not really digging the episode overall. I mean some of the stuff was good, mostly the 30 second skit the Androids had and Cell telling Piccolo about his origins, but most of the jokes kind of fell flat for me and we sort of got psychopathic word emphasizing a lot from Freeza. I'm sure he'll come into his own more as it gets further, but right now it's an ehhh.

Yeah, I thought it was pretty hit or miss. The Yamcha joke was a huge hit, though. :drat:

That's kind of the thing, he's part Freeza. I don't know how it came off to everyone else, but it seemed like he was stealing everybody's phrases and gimmicks at different times and it ended up working for me.

Yeah, I definitely felt that. He's being menacing and creepy in one moment, then wacky like Goku the next. It's actually a pretty amusing mix.

Honestly that's more or less what I'd want out of TFS Cell. And so far they're melding it pretty well, I'd say.

While that was my favorite part of the episode, it could have been just a bit better if Cell used "Cyborg zero zero" and not just "Cyborg".

I don't know about you guys but I was sold on Cell right from "Wanna see me drink this guy?!" :colbert:

First-form Cell should be an interesting contrast to the other villains just because he actually recognizes when he's overmatched and acts accordingly. I'm more worried about how they'll handle Perfect Cell since by that point he's basically just Frieza-lite.

Well, we already heard him a few years ago with his voices for all forms of Cell, so quite honestly I am just giddy as gently caress.

Yeah, in the original series I felt like they never really truly capitalized on this aspect of Cell, but here you could really tell, he even seemed to have a bit of Nappa in him.

Don't get it twisted who your enemies are.
He's got the biting wit and menacing creepiness of Frieza, playfulness of Goku, thrillseeking arrogance of Vegeta, and actual intelligence* of Piccolo. All seemingly balanced appropriately, of course.

*Intelligence compared to most of the rest of the cast, anyway.

He also seems to have the education of Gohan. At least, that's the best interpretation I could find for the "woodwind" comment. Gotta add in random trivia.

That was the best episode of this saga yet. I think Cell may actually top Freeza at this rate. And Episode 44 is already almost finished!
