edit: Also,I am pretty sure BoTG would have been the same way if they hadn't brought in Toriyama. the basic premise is more or less the same as in every other movie.

If it was like the others, Goku would have gone God at the last minute and killed Beerus with the Mega Ultra God Kamehameh Spirit Bomb.

I love Bojack Unbound because of how clearly it seems to be the writers having all these other ideas for scenes from the Cell Games and Cell/Gohan, so they decided to just do it again.

All the old movies are alternate takes on canon, except Broly.

God dammit. Okay, that was cool. But Gotenks in general is cool. And a good part does not make an entire movie.:colbert:

Steven Universe plays with a bunch of fun DBZ gimmicks, like families with food based names. Weird li'l kid Onion and his big brother Sour Cream both live with their mother Vidalia while their father Yellowtail is away fishing.

These guys arrived on Earth in round little space pods from a spacefaring race of planet conquerors to fight the main characters. That sort of thing.

Is this show any good? It seems harmless enough but i've heard some things about it becoming the new MLP and, well, I'm not sure that's a journey I'd like to go on given the audience track record :ohdear:

Stephen Universe is to my understanding a good show that has a fanbase that has gotten entirely up its own rear end. It's basically the new Homestuck/Adventure Time/whathaveyou.

All I'm saying is that while the show has Vegeto, who is absurdly powerful but also has an entertaining personality to go with it, the movies have the likes of Broly, Gogeta, and other villains I can't remember where their entire is gimmick is "look really cool but have less character than a saibamen."


Everyone I knew as a kid was obsessed with Broly, and I just never got it. Overmuscled angry dude. Okay....and?

For me it's not Broly being a big angry man it was almost a whole movie of everybody getting trashed and Vegeta pussing out which you don't see much.

How does one go about watching Dragonball or DBZ these days without dropping a fortune on over nine thousand discs? Is it on any streaming services?

It airs on television on Cartoon Network (IIRC) if you're willing to go that route.

All of Dragon Ball and the original Z (and GT...) is available on Funimation's website, though you need to pay a subscription if you want dubs instead of subs. Kai is a lot iffier - I don't think it's legally streamed at all.

It's a good show that has a lot of progressive elements to it. The Fandom is lovely and can be entirely ignored. Despite how the Fandom talks it up, the show is very quiet with being progressive and doesn't loudly proclaim how socially progressive it is. If you're going to watch it, skip episode 1 the first time.

Yeah, the people who watched it were pretty chill until a lesbian romance was introduced then it suddenly became the most progressive deep and meaningful show ever, and internet weirdos started making being a SU fan part of their identity. As long as you ignore the creepy fanbase, its a fun chill show that manages to be fairly progressive.

Eh, I think it was always kinda like that. Most of the fanbase came straight from Adventure Time, which was pretty notorious for the :tvtropes:

Weirdly enough I think the sweeter and fluffier the show, the more fans become obsessed with seeing everything as a rape/virginity analogy. There's plenty of maturity grandstanding about Dragon Ball, but it's about the violence that's actually in the show, not elaborate theories on how Goku's Spirit Bomb is about domestic abuse.

If anyone is interested in owning the series, Kai bluray and digital are on sale at a steep discount from their crazy unreasonable prices. I went ahead and pulled the trigger on all 4 current seasons. I've never actually watched Kai so I figured it was time.

Every fandom has terrible people in it (including DBZ) and you should judge something on it's own merits instead of worrying about how its fans act.

Ignore what everyone else is saying, Steven Universe is a really good show(indeed one of the best Cartoons on the air currently), and while there is a fair amount of idiots in the fandom, it nowhere near approaches the idiocy of most of the other fandoms mentioned especially MLP's, so go watch it and enjoy it(also there's a corrected official episode order on IanJ's Tumblr, as a couple episodes got shuffled around during broadcast)

My One Weird Trick is ignoring fan bases all together. I think Adventure Time (show and comic) is really great and I had no idea fans of it had a reputation.

Heads up: Super ep 4 finally got subbed, about 12 hours later than usual.

For a sub group that's proud of themselves to the point where they put their own logo in the opening of the show their work seems kind of bad.
