Trip report: saw Revival of F. It was amazingly fun. All of the characters people actually give a poo poo about were in the movie and got to do things, and all the annoying characters were not. The way everything plays out seems like a real love letter to the fans - like what fans actually want - more Tribeam and not more fuckin' Broly or whatever. Oh yeah, and the movie has metal riffs throughout, Maximum the Hormone's "F" is featured in an awesome way, and when I was watching Goku punch Freeza to the sound of metal, I realized that maybe all of us original DBZ soundtrack advocates might be wrong - maybe the Faulconer soundtrack is indeed closer to the creator's original intentions. Sadly I was only one of four people in the showing and it was a Friday afternoon.

when Goku taps out and Vegeta joins the fight, Goku says "thank you" in English (well, more like "sank you"). What are the implications of that, would a Japanese person see that as being cheeky and irreverent?

Did 18 get to do anything other than be Krillin's wife?

Yeah, they do so since they look like kid versions of the two people Freeza hates the most and they're reckless as hell so they'd do stupid things and get themselves hurt, from what the summaries said.

This actually happens in Shin Budokai! When the escaped-from-Hell Freeza finds Goten and Trunks, he believes they're Goku and Future Trunks' children (only for Trunks to correct him on that one) and decides to take out his anger on them. "The sins of the father will weight upon the children" or whatever he said in Fusion Reborn.

Turtle actually had God Ki this whole time, which is why nobody could truly detect his power level before now.

I like this because the movie treats Freeza as a credible threat. They could've made him a total joke.

This is something I always wondered actually did anyone tell kid Trunks that he came from the future and saved everyone?

To be fair that sounds like a remarkably uncomfortable thing to hear.

"Hey Trunks, in another timeline everyone you know and loved is dead. Oh, except Goten, he was never born."

I hope Future Trunks comes back for Super because he was my favourite character as a kid and is still my favourite character as an adult. Having him in Xenoverse was super cool but I want him to take a more active role. Get the coolest transformations and just kick rear end alongside Goku, Vegeta and the cannon fodder (oh Gohan how low have you fallen).

Though I guess he won't look much different if he becomes a Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan.

At a certain point Tien says its dumb to bring the guy to fights (when the androids attack, I think) as he was never really a fighter.

He can't fight because he's been spending all these years trying to solve Krillin's diabolical math problems.

also when freeza is about the kill goku by holding him under water he seriously freaks out thinking of chichi and gohan

i get the jokes that he's like completely autistic or whatever and yeah goku is a bit retarded but he loves his wife and sons hes a good man.

He has brain damage from when he hit his head as a child. It was a good enough bump to make him not a murder machine, so I think he can be excused for being a little weird in his personal relationships.

Wait, if Gotenks is in Wrath of the Dragon, why doesn't Gotenks take out the monster? Gotenks is stronger than SSJ3 Goku at that point, IIRC.

Also, I've come across a HQ level quality of Trunks going "Hey" from Xenoverse. Someone made it for text alerts. I will never use it, perhaps you will.

So is Ultimate/Mystic Gohan, who also gets clowned. It's kinda a problem with Wrath. Everyone gets beat down (including Goku) until Goku decides to throw the Super Dragon Fist and win instead.

Fusion Reborn's ending kicks rear end because Gogeta sparkles Janemba into a tiny ogre child and Gotenks blows up Hitler and the Nazi army before Vegeta fades away into nothingness because at this point gently caress continuity in these things.
