Kelp Plankton posted:it was nice to see him again though. and he got to do some real rad poo poo. good job Trunks you have redeemed yourself from feeling like kind of an idiot wimp in the Cell arc. i'm proud of you. He went back to his time and killed the androids and Cell though? Dude's like the most effective good guy other than Goku when you think about it. Well, in the made-up version of the story, that is. I'm sure we'll see the true version where Hercule defeated Gowku Blick and Zamus shortly.

Blockhouse posted:"increasingly pissed" really describes trunks well in the backhalf of this arc To be fair I can't imagine how loving exhausting it must be to be Trunks. You're born into a lovely post-apocalyptic world. Not even like a good one. It's post-apocalyptic because two 20-somethings like blowing poo poo up because a crazy doctor turned them into robots. So you engage in a complex time travel plot to kill them only to have some loving space wizard show up and try to ruin everything. You train with literal gods to beat the space wizard, everything seems great, and woah here comes the time-displaced possessed corpse of the dude who died before the androids showed up to murder everyone while screaming about how terrible mortals are, only for his life partner/alternate dimension version to show up and help.

I expected this episode to be universally loved but everywhere I look on the internet people are mad, I mean they are loving MAD. I've never read the phrase "I'm done" so many times (although I'm sure I would have if I followed more TV shows as they're airing for the first time). Power level inconsistency really pushes people's buttons, no wonder every dbz fan is so obsessed with scouters and numbers and precisely how much power what form gives when. I thought writing-wise the episode was heartwarmingly corny in a good way and I feel satisfied.

Changing how previously established stuff works doesn't really fall under the same branch as power levels. I think the people who think the random change to Potara fusion was a dumb contrivance to justify something cool have a fair point. Zamasu can already open wormholes in space time, just have him catch Vegetto off guard and phase him out of reality for a couple of minutes. Trunks making a Ki blade made a lot of sense, he'd already seen Black do it tons, and the spirit bomb was fine and justified a really cool scene. If the Supreme Kai got merced in the middle of the next arc to assassinate Beerus and it turned out that no you have to kill the Kai on Tuesday for it to take, it would be dumb no matter how savage and well animated Beerus' beatdown of the assailant would be for it. It is really funny to me though that after weeks of Vegetto vs Gogeta squabbling on the Internet we get Vegetto after all, except it's Gogeta in all but name and appearance.

I think the people who think the random change to Potara fusion was a dumb contrivance to justify something cool have a fair point. I really genuinely do not get why people care when last time this happened the Potara fusion was undone by 'magic gas' almost instantly. It being permanent was never that big a deal.

Every time I heard someone go "Super is pretty good past the Revival of F arc" there's been a wild chorus of "Shut the gently caress up Super is just awful." so I passed on watching the show, that and just hearing Black Goku sounded dumb. Still couldn't help but find myself bored enough to watch the last few episodes and while I have no idea what the gently caress was going on other then Zamasu is a huge jerk and it takes place in Future Trunks time I thought what I saw was cool as all hell in a cornball kind of way?? I'm really not used to Granny Goku but why do people hate this arc? I'm kinda tempted to go back and actually watch it if it's the same quality as episode 66

"It's magic" isn't actually any less ridiculous an explanation than "It has a time limit, the Kais were just kind of dumb" because "The Kais were just kind of dumb" is entirely consistent with what we know of them.

CharlestheHammer posted:Power levels are one thing but let's not conflate power levels with consistency. Changing the explicit rules of potara is really strange, I will admit. Considering we're never gonna see anyone else use them, I don't think it's a big deal though. It's really clear the writers just wanted some Vegito fanservice, and fanservice callbacks are like half the show, so I really don't mind. ThisIsACoolGuy posted:Every time I heard someone go "Super is pretty good past the Revival of F arc" there's been a wild chorus of "Shut the gently caress up Super is just awful." so I passed on watching the show, that and just hearing Black Goku sounded dumb. The new stuff (starting with episode 28 or 29) is all pretty drat good. The show reeks of QUALITY but it can still be charming enough to be entertaining. If you're interested you should totally watch. edit: Funnily enough this arc is probably the most consistent of them when it comes to plot, since they bothered covering up pieces of Trunks' timeline that we didn't even need to know about (Buu, when Pilaf and co made the wish to be kids, the extra time machine, etc).

Most of the reception to Super is positive but the people who hate it REALLY hate it. They also tend to be the people who really hate the Buu arc though I've noticed, and Super is a lot less like Cell and Frieza than it is Buu, even in the Future Trunks arc which is probably the darkest and grimmest it will ever be.

"So in my story Future Trunks come back AGAIN because there's a new threat that's even MORE powerful and evil than the last time and and and the new threat is GOKU! Except evil and even more powerfuller than the good Goku ever was! In fact he's so strong he doesn't even know what his attacks do! And then there's an evil god with white hair and black clothes and they team up and shoot really awesome spells like that rpg I played that other day! And then Trunks finally beats them by using the Spirit Bomb! Except it's a SWORD now! And he stabs the evil god in the dick with it! ... and Vegetto shows up too, I guess." Seriously. 12-year-old's fanfiction. DBSuper owns.

Yeah, I just hear generic "no it's bad" remarks all the time so it put me off really. After I saw 66 looked at a few different sites for reactions and most of them were just REALLY loving MAD at the show and... I didn't get it.

I used to steer away from Super too due to hearing this same opinions, but I started watching it last Monday and got so hooked up I caught up by Wednesday. It's classic Dragon Ball, which means good quality shonen. It has fun fights that are resolved by people actually fighting instead of explaining their powers to the audience (something that a lot of current animes tend to do, give some credit to your audience for fucks sake), it knows when to drop jokes without breaking the atmosphere, and surprisingly for Dragon Ball it has some really good emotional and character development moments, mostly on this last arc, but also present in the previous arcs too. Even the filler episodes are entertaining to watch. The fact that Toriyama has apparently been given free rein to write the story whichever way he wants means parallel universes and timelines fuckery, both plot points that he is really good at writing.

On the other hand imagine if Vegeto didn't defuse and instead got beat down by Zamasu who then gets owned by Trunks. You'd have a segment of the DB fandom literally die of rage.

Blue Vegito might've been short-lived but drat was it awesome. Genki Dama Sword was pretty badass and a good way to give Trunks the kill. The animation in this episode was killer by the way. Best part though was Zamasu crying because he just cares so much about the world. Aurora posted:Not my problem! He wasn't, actually. He was being pragmatic against Buu.

that episode owned there was no way that trunks even with the spirit sword was stronger than vegito tho, didn't they explicitly say that vegitos attack hosed up zamasu enough to create the opening for him to lose? like i assume the final kamehameha pretty much broke zamasu outright but after the vegito defusion it was grim bc even really hosed up zamasu was way stronger than them esp with goku and vegeta on deaths door
