Funniest Team Four Star's been for a while. I was laughing or grinning the whole way through.

Everything about Goku getting punched in the dick had me in stitches - especially Vegeta's lack of sympathy.

The dick punch scene was every bit as amazing as I'd thought it be :allears:.

Gero identifying Goku's Structural Weakness was an underrated bit.

So, is OnePunchMan's gimmick like a magic thing, where he beats anything with one punch because that's just the way the universe works, or is he just supposed to be such a badass that he's never needed more than one punch, and it's still theoretically possible for him to have to punch someone twice if he meets someone tough enough?

This is important.

It's the latter. The joke is that he is hilariously absurdly ridiculously strong but it never matters because nothing can challenge him and his origin story is "pushups, situps and plenty of juice."

They don't count GT but they (presumably, it's the only way I can get to 24) count the four DB movies? Surprising, cause they're way worse than the GT Special.

Also, if Dead Zone and World's Strongest don't get the respect they deserve (Top 10 bare minimum, should be Top 5), I'll be so mad I'll go Super Saiyan.

I'm not a hundred percent sure about Dead Zone, but they really seem to like World's Strongest.

So, for lack of a better place to talk Team Four Star Miscelleny, I decided to binge watch FF7 abridged while working from home today. It's...alright, got room to grow. I'm mostly struck by the fact that I can't decide how I feel about the fact that they're playing Tifa as a slut.

Sounds pretty lovely, I also I listened to Aerith's voice and I was just done after that

See, that's my first reaction, but...she's not, like, made fun of or openly belittled or anything. She's just extremely dtf, and the jokes are more written around her bluntness and agressiveness than anything else. I don't think they're slutshaming?

I have complicated feelings about this abridged series on the internet.

Burkion posted:

She was planning to beat the information out of the Don.

See, she said "No, Cloud, I was going to gently caress him" or something like that in a tone that made it hard to tell how sarcastic she was being, particularly since she followed it up with something like "He'll say anything once his pants are down and my hands are around his -" and then the episode moved on pretty fast, and then later she's clearly open to the idea of being made to 'breed' with Cloud. Like I said, some of the jokes could be read as "Ha! Tifa likes sex/the idea of sex!"

I like the Final Flash scene because it's one of the fairly few Jobbing scenes that manages to make the character doing the jobbing feel powerful and the villain's triumph feel meaningful for at least a little bit. The Final Flash gets more buildup than almost any other attack in the entire franchise, and the follow-through looks and feels really good, and having Cell himself briefly lose his composure at the last second really helps lend it some legitimacy.

I mean, it doesn't last for long because any savvy viewer knows that there's no way in hell Vegeta's winning this thing, and it should be obvious the instant they show Cell missing an arm what's going to happen, but as jobbing scenes go, they really make you believe for a second there.

I wonder if I should feel ashamed for taking a second to remember that Goku repeatedly punching Jeice in the face while Jeice keeps trying to finish an angry sentence is a DBZA gag and not actually canon.

"Sorry you won your case in a court of law, but our machines still took you down because they're dumb. No hard feelings, right?"

*I don't actually remember if the case was won in a court of law or if they and youtube came to an understanding, but it kind of amounts to the same thing when pointing out how trash the automated feature is.

I don't know that this applies to Team Four Star's situation, but honestly considering that I'm pretty sure the Super Hexagon guy or some semi-prominent Indie game dev got a copyright strike on a video he made on his own drat game with his own drat music, we've honestly seen worse.

visceril posted:

IIRC they mentioned in one of their videos that either him or Sonny (the guy who does Krillin) perceives the Abridged series as an insult to their performance.

Which honestly seems really weird to me, since I don't know how you watch the show for half an hour without realizing just how much these guys loving adore DBZ.

I don't think Frieza has a "race" per se, I think a few times I have heard him referred to as a mutant (Or, at least King Cold is the mutant). He must be unique, everyone in the universe knows about Frieza, but no one talks about his home planet. His strength can't come from his race, a whole planet of Friezas would be noticed.

He is also immortal, in the sense that he doesn't age, so there is no telling how old he is or where he came from.

I like how we're starting to make Freeza sound more like Cthuluhu

That bargain sale quip made me go back and rewatch the bit where Vegeta first sees baby trunks go super saiyan and shortly afterwards decks him right in the face.


I still love Vegeta's expression after he realizes that he just punched his 10 year old in the nose with enough force to flatten a city block.
