DBM is hilarious right now. So some fans won Cameos for the original characters in DBM. They tried to trap Videl and got the poo poo kicked out of them.

The tears are amazing. "There's no way my (and I'm not making GBS threads you) Mage/Pokemon character would get chumped by an earthling as weak as Videl!"

Goddamn the DBM team deserve a medal for doing this.

Ah, I was wondering why those weird characters suddenly showed up only to get the poo poo beat out of them. Glad to know the backstory, this is hilarious now.

Justin_Brett posted:

Hahaha, what. This character has never fought prior to that one moment and the movie makes no effort to show the training effected anyone other than Freeza since Freeza's goons can't even handle loving Roshi and Space Patrolman Jaco ganging up on them. There's no reason to think this dude is the special outlier just because they bothered to dedicate one line of dialogue to reference his power level since that also just invalidates that line and makes it pointless which is just as easily bad writing. Power level crap is stupid, but the movie should just not draw attention to it and just say the dude is really loving strong.

According to this...

Tenshinhan’s Epilogue:
Stoic Tenshinhan mainly does farming in addition to his training. He can split into multiple bodies and grow extra arms, so harvesting the crops goes quickly. He was found by Lunch, who fell in love with him at first sight and had been constantly pursuing his whereabouts, and even reluctantly lived together with her; but she wasn’t cut out for farming, and Tenshinhan has no interest in romance, so she left after just a few days. After that, it seems Lunch apparently stops in from time to time.

Bulma is the weird exception to the rule in Dragon Ball, in which marriage didn't remove her personality and ability to act on her own at all and instead might've actually boosted it, if only because she and Vegeta work really well off each other.

Because they're both egocentric, selfish, easily triggered and immature, which ends up being absolutely hilarious.

18 also clearly still has her personality, she just doesn't get to actually act a lot of the time despite being stronger than every human. Which isn't saying a lot in Dragon Ball, but still!

Okay I think now I'm kinda glad that I didn't win the contest to have my OC in the comic because I would've been pissed to have him both under Majin control and to have him lose to Videl seeing as my character is to put it bluntly is an extremely powerful genetically engineered Saiyan that is kinda like Cell and far outclasses Beerus-sama. Yeah I know he's a Mary Sue, but I made him that way on purpose. Don't get me wrong, I don't just go around rekking everyone I come across with him. He has a nemesis that is well himself from a Shattered Glass Universe and the mechanics of my RP make it to where he gets nerfed to be somewhere in the same power Tier as the strongest warrior in whatever Universe he is within.

quote:

Come on DBM Team... just having a single cameo would have been better than this. I don't think we wanted to see our characters get turned into worthless villains to be beaten up by the weakest of DBZ characters. I mean, I would think any kind of Mage/Pokemon would have a chance at beating Videl in a 4v1 scenario. Guess they didn't give him any powers whatsoever to be on par with the other 3 human characters. Would have been a ton cooler to see him assist Babidi in Magic or have helped the Z-fighters in someway and not been Majin'd at all.

quote:

The Delphox has powers of his own and is a fighter, but, I don't think the DBM team decided to give him those powers based on how he's been portrayed so far. Videl is tough, but she wouldn't be able to beat his magic if he had actually used it.

Anyways, most of us are just dissapointed because of how they were all pretty much set up to fail while anyone who didn't win is having a feild day with it, and it's not even the characters' fault to begin with. We just expected to have our characters innocently be in the crowds , but they get mind controlled into being beaten up. Kinda sucks =/

Feels like being Contest Losers rather than Contest winners

The first quote is saying "I don't just go around wrecking people with him" like it's a normal thing. Where are you taking him? Just in your fanfictions? You can't say "Yeah, he's stronger than Beerus but he's not a Mary Sue". loving nerds man. What did they thing was going to happen? They'd get an awesome cameo where they sweep in and win the tournament?
