Thyrork posted:I thought the Galic gun was purple? Let's google image search this. Hm. So it is. It's red in Xenoverse... As far as Namek stuff goes, I think it was a bad call for Goku to not have been with the team from the start. Oh yeah and putting him out of condition as soon as he arrived was also a bad idea. The setting of Namek itself I also think was a bad call. It's not a rich interesting world like Earth, but it's open, expansive, and bright. It's all so very blah. I think it would have been better for the story to have either been on a bleak nightmarish world with claustrophobic surroundings or the world should have had more to see, like Namekian cities or amazing Namekian gardens if they're not into that whole technology thing. From the point they stick Goku in the healing tank, I actually really start to hate the Namek saga. Like hate it a lot. Probably because before then we had some tension and interesting fights, but after that everyone is totally useless and they have to wait for this rear end in a top hat to come and save them. It's like Goku gets to cut in line or something. He hasn't paid his loving Namek dues, dammit. In other words, my like of the Namek saga died with the Ginyu Force.

Namek is one big "okay I'll fight you but we need to fly somewhere else so people don't get hurt."

Which one thing that I am suprised Kai still didn't cut was the multiple cutaways to Goku still in the healing tank reacting to the battle with Frieza. It got old after about the tenth time of him going "someone power level is rapidly dropping" while the tank is only suppose to be kept going for a few more minutes.

Xibanya posted:Let's google image search this. Hm. So it is. It's red in Xenoverse... I absolutely disagree with you. The Namek Saga is really good when Goku isn't there. It goes from "strong punchman beats weak punchman forever" into "weak punchman (see: Krillin) has to outsmart far stronger punchmen and succeeds in both living and getting the Dragon Balls". Vegeta being smart and outsmarting every other villain, and Krillin outsmarting Vegeta is loving great and it is far more fun to watch than just more mindless fights. If anything, it saddens me that apparently Vegeta's brain was not revived with his body after the saga. Vegeta in the Androids Saga is far more idiotic and reckless, in comparison to the cocky but intelligent Freeza Saga Vegeta. I wish Goku had not appeared in Namek at all. It's when he appears that the saga goes from something unique to more strong punchman beats weak punchman, it becomes once again a matter of outsmarting people when he gets stuck in the healing tank (with Krillin playing Vegeta like a boss), and then back to punchmen with Freeza and Super Saiyan Goku (not like that wasn't awesome, mind you, though it could be shorter). The only thing I agree is that Namek is pretty boring, but I can see the reason why it is such a desolate boring place. Still not the most fun place.

I'm so glad DBM is back to a fight. The Zen Buu story was getting tedious. I liked it, but it had so much unnecessary padding.

Kaioken is rad and I wish people had kept using it. Bitchin' red auras for life.

Xibanya posted:Let's google image search this. Hm. So it is. It's red in Xenoverse... It's purple there too. The only red beam there is the x10 Kamehameha. Also the Android saga is keeping within Vegeta's character pretty well. Consistently throughout the series he only fights when A) He is(or THINKS he is) stronger than his opponent, or B) when he absolutely has to. A leads into B a lot as he loves to write checks he can't cash. It's weird that one of his most interesting character traits is that he's pretty much a schoolyard bully. It's why his whole revelation vs Kid Buu is such a big deal. And sorry but despite whatever misgivings anyone has with Goku as a character his fights tend to loving rule.

I agree that all of Namek when Goku isn't on planet is good. It's only when he gets there that things start to get tedious. As I've said before it need more Goku or less Goku. Namek has a suboptimal quantity of Goku.

For all your posting you can't possibly comprehend how powerful Goku was after training at 100x Earth gravity. I would invite you to buy yourself an experience at he Perry County Faire or wherever but you would be crushed as the maggot you are. Perhaps if you had read Howard Zinn's Magnus cursed Opus you would understand the difference between labor and birthright. Goku fought his entire life against, power. Freeza was born to rule. Basically vote democrat and bring back LF

Watching Kai and reached the Cell vs 17 fight, which is the point Abridged is still pending on. Man Impefect Cell is super creepy even in the normal version. Especially when his powerup shows the souls of the damned spinning around him.

Cell was the creepiest of the villains. He got less creepy with every transformation but still Freeza was an rear end in a top hat for sure but more in that Tyrant Ruler kind of way. Buu also had a bunch of creepy moments, like when he turns an entire city of people into candyballs and eats them all But Cell just straight up walks around drinking people. He impales people with his tail and drinks them. That was super creepy for a kids show

There is nothing wrong with how the Namek saga plays out until Goku is in the healing pod, even the saga's switch from outsmarting the enemy to 'punchmans' as you guys like to call it. The outsmarting ends with Recoome. Krillin, Vegeta, and Gohan are able to use their resources to survive as long as they feasibly can; but when the Ginyu Force and new scouters show up, they are at the end of their rope. Cue Goku coming in and eventually saving the day. That's the point of the Freeza saga, and anyone who dislikes how it plays out with respect to Goku is not seeing the point of the narrative. Freeza was smart, Freeza was powerful, Freeza was not going to be outsmarted by shenanigans. Goku is the returning hero. If Goku is there the whole time, it's not as special when he actually is there. And if Goku is there the whole time, the whole 'outsmart the enemy' thing is lost since the one character who is to settle things is incapable of doing that. The problem lies in Goku going in the healing tank. You basically have a complete retread of the 'Goku's gone! What do we do?' narrative followed by another heroic return of 'next level Goku'; but instead of a logical explanation of how he got so powerful, it's explained with DB's worst narrative element.

On the way to work today, I saw a Frieza semi truck. It was perfect. The cab was white with a shade of lavender for the giant top spoiler, door panels, and trim along the bottom that can only be described as "Frieza Purple". I really wanted to take a picture and put a witty "this isn't even my final form" joke up, but I was driving and safety blah blah blah. Granted, the trucker probably didn't have Frieza in mind, but if I ever found out it was intentional, I wouldn't be surprised in the least.
