Is that why Mexican Goku was such a thing on saltybet? I distinctly remember losing a bunch of funbucks and then being told i shouldn't have slept on the Mexi-beam

I know that back in the day German metal bands were more popular in South America that anywhere else outside of Germany. Especially in Brazil.

Literally every kid my age in Venezuela watched either Dragon Ball Z, Sailor Moon and Saint Seiya. I think it was a combination of there not being that many other cartoons airing every day after school (most of the American ones were stuck airing weekends), a pretty decent translation effort (for the time) and the massive amount of Chinese knockoff cheap toys. Not many could afford a gi-joe but a piece of plastic coloured to look like Goku went for the price of two arepas. I also suspect licencing them was cheaper than american cartoons so you'd see more and more anime on tv as time went on.

I wonder how that played out because while Goku didn't lose to Jiren, he certainly didn't beat him.

alexandriao posted:I don't agree with this but tbh if the kid is ramming a snowman fast enough to kill him if he hits a fire hydrant that's... kinda his fault. What if there were a kid around or something. What if grandpa was putting out the trash. What if he lost control and careened into someone's house. I mean we had that happen in the UK and our houses are brick and mortar and it was bad, but apparently Americans build houses out of wood n poo poo so that's even more dangerous. We heard the story of the Three Little Pigs and thought those first two pigs had some good ideas, okay.

A lower-class being becomes super powerful and defeats a foreign invader-prince, a galactic landlord, and a smug prick who won't stop talking about how perfect they are. Can't imagine why that'd be popular in a chronically abused and colonized place of the world. :P

The big thing is that in the 80s and 90s people were crazy for anime in here but the selection was literally 3 or 4 series (probably very expensive and shared distribution rights by latin america public tv broadcasters), so that's what everyone remembers as a kid. I imagine other countries had a wider selection

RatHat posted:Depends on how you define "beat". Goku isn't technically the one who knocks out Jiren so I'm sure that caused a lot of angry people. So there were lots of angry, horny men ogling women and arguing about technicalities in anime. drat, that Mexican strip club perfectly recreated the Internet experience in person.

What's kind of great about it though is you actually can get good at it unlike a lot of the bullshit hard SF2 knockoffs from back in the day, it's a really odd little piece of history.
