With the way the movies generally went, there were only two ways to end a movie. Spirit bomb, or bullshit power up. They seem to use both quite a lot. So it was probably to mix it up.

I remember there being more in the anime. Did it really just smash cut like that in the manga?

The last tournament feels like a ton of poo poo got cut, but there is two more stories after that so I don't know what the gently caress.

Yeah the team up thing is never really addressed and seems more of a set up for a future movie or maybe early groundwork for super. Because even taking into account how F died they really weren't working as a team.

Disagree. Vegeta getting his occasional shine spot where he decides to put his family first and be a cool guy is better.

Why can't he do both?

Ytlaya posted:

Vegeta getting owned (if by owned you mean "really bad things happening to him") was only good when he was evil; once he crossed the line to "totally a good guy" (when he sacrifices himself against Buu), it kind of loses its appeal since Vegeta generally means well past that point and would never do anything really bad.

Nah his arrogance is still there and him getting his poo poo wrecked for it owns.

i like how db is an allegory for austrian economics, with goku being the avatar of the free market and invaders from space being government regulation and destruction of liberty. except in the cell saga where dr. gero is a communist sympathizer which tries to initiate a market failure (cell) but the failure is ultimately corrected by rational actors (gohan, goku, vegeta)
What does that make krillen

The Majin Buu arc should have taught you that, actually, Krillin is really bad at judging Ki when the plot calls for it, such has him misjudging Spopovich and Buu.

Everyone is really bad at judging ki. Flipping out over a DBZ staple is hilarious.

It's like being mad they introduced a new super Saiyan.

Serious post I always thought of the Nappa battle as Toriyama saying 'yeah these characters will never really be relevant again moving forward' with respect to the ones that died. Piccolo sort of being the exception. Gohan still sucks though and I don't get why people like him.

He is one of two characters who had an arc.

The other repeated his like three times.

This and posts like it are really dumb. Sure 'real dragon ball' is the goofy poo poo they did in the pilaf/red ribbon/Buu saga, but there was a period where it was a lot more serious in tone. And Funimation/English dubs really did market the show as being bad rear end. No one in my middle school liked DB because it was goofy and funny. We had nick toons for that. Kids wanted to watch Goku punch people.

z was goofy as gently caress and Goku punched a OT of people in ball
