make a game based off of og dragon ball where you actually collect the dragon balls

randomly generated world so sometimes the 4 star ball will be at the bottom of the ocean but other times you gotta beat up piccolo for it. at the end you make a wish that can unlock a character/add stuff to the world/buff your character for the next run/whatever. also all of the characters have different modes of flight; goku has the nimbus, krillin holds onto goku for dear life, roshi has baby gamora, yamcha bulma has a flying car, etc

Yeah and you can catch pokemon and you can play as sonic and mario and all their friends and if you find a secret egg you can ride a yoshi or a really fast car if you're lucky and you can have gordon freeman and master chief on your team if you know the secret code.

Because sharktamer isn't actually being honest, they do nothing but post about how angry they are about people's opinions on Dragonball jokes, even when they don't make sense. It's a tiresome and tedious gimmick they've been doing forever now and at this point it remains clockwork that they're going to pop up only to whine about the fact that people don't like Dragonball for the same reason they do.

It also isn't actually about Dragonball Z Abridged, its about they fact he gets upset about humor in general, thus why you see him making a snide passve-aggressive comment about the slice-of-life thing not long ago, and in general gets angry any time someone brings up the humorous parts of Dragonball which they frantically either try to pretend don't exist or gets pissy about when he can't. (Like Mr. Satan.)

It's dishonest because he's not actually interested in discussion or even in consistent opinions, just in making sure you know he's angry about stuff.

I've been nothing but honest :)

Like I said before, I like DBZ and for the most part I like talking about DBZ with most people in this thread. I like the humour in the show and even if I admit he's far from my favourite thing about the show, even Mr Satan can be really funny sometimes. Monaka was really funny too until certain people ruined him by applying the same loving boring cooker cutter joke to him too.

The "slice of life" episodes are good because they're rare and special and it's novel to see a complete decceleration of the usual premise of the show to see these planet destroyers do mundane tasks and completely fail because all they know how to do is punch each other. I don't agree with people who say they want Goku Vegeta and Frieza to become children and Beerus and Whis to have to babysit them for 100 loving episodes (like seriously what the gently caress?).

I find the comedy best when it's interspersed with the action though, the best thing about super is how there's all this action and these universe threatening threats but no one is taking anything the slightest bit seriously any more. It's what I like about this ridiculously childish show I watch.

I don't think it's a crazy notion to say that I like the actual show written by professional writers yet don't like these lame wannabe writer repetitive fan fiction elements. Everything is loving UNIRONICALLY slice of life fiction bullshit or constantly going on about Mr Satan or Monaka being the strongest and Yamcha being the weakest. Yet somehow I'm the repetitive one and the dishonest one.

DBZA sucks arse, I don't see how it can even count as an homage to the original show any more when most of the callbacks are no longer references to things that happened on the show but callbacks to their lovely self invented mythos (Mr Popo is the strongest, Kami smokes weed, Gohan hates his dad). That other weekly tube show does a far better job by not even pretending to be true to the show and even then it manages to do a better job of being an homage by accident. DBZA has become the smuggest self-important up its own arse rubbish.

I understand people like this humour and that's fine, but when any criticisms of the show are piled on, it's not really healthy for discussion. The last episode had a dude weed lmao joke and the one before had a reference to loving bare naked ladies for christs sake. Going back to dishonesty, a few people who like the show admitted that those were lame but then another people choose to convince themselves that it's the height of comedy because it's a REFERENCE or a CALLBACK or some bullshit. Once again, not a callback to DBZ itself but to their invented "funnier" versions of the characters from the show we're all actually fans of.

There's your actual response. That's all you're getting though, I'm gonna go back to just making GBS threads on everything you like (and pretend to like) though because most of you are awful.

Everything changes, Pit.
Even gods.

Goku will ascend past being a Super Saiyan God, and achieve a new base just-actually-a-god form, and it will freak out and/or piss off the entire assembly of gods gathered for the tournament because he's some random mortal bypassing all the rules of their system with sheer strength

I know its silly to base it on the opening but I kinda had s theory (probably everyone thought this already) that maybe goku perfects SSB and it gets absorbed into his base form. After all they did state the anime wouldnt go beyond the ending of dbz so they can totally handwave how SSB isnt around anymore.


Edit: haha beat. Though that would totally would make the gods pissed

Yes, you are. Which is why you mysterious get silent when the show itself dedicates itself to doing the exact same jokes you complain about. You're pissy people like a fan product, seemingly entirely because it's a fan product, and get angrier and angrier when people don't bite, not to mention you watch every single episode of DBZA as soon as it comes out just so you can talk about how terrible it is.

It's fine not to like DBZA but you get angry at people because they are enjoying Dragonball/Z/Super and jokes the show itself makes that happen to be similar to jokes DBZA makes. Like you know what? "Yamcha is weak and a joke" is an ongoing joke from Super. You're free to dislike the joke but stop blaming it on a comedy show and not something the show itself is doing.
