Manga/Dragon Ball

I do that too. It's because Mira sounds like a girl's name, while the actual Mira is a Towa of a man.

That might actually be intentional.

Anyway, Stan Lee cameos can be awesome.

I've heard giving Kirby complete creative control often produced... less-than-stellsar results so maybe we're lucky Stan wrote.

I love Stan Lee cameos.

Lee actually did a lot of the writing; when you read Stan Lee-scripted comics and compare them to the issues released right after he left each series, you can notice a very stark change in dialogue and often characterization as well, even when Roy Thomas, a self-professed Lee fanboy, succeeded him. I think it's fair crediting him as a co-creator; at least, from all accounts, he had creative rapport back and forth with artists Kirby and Ditko.

It's more than what can be said about a certain rat named Bob Kane who got rich and famous from exploiting Bill Finger, Jerry Robinson and others.

I've also heard the reason for "The Marvel Method," (ie. artists do the plotting, writer just does the script) is because Lee was writing everything at the time.

So does Trunks.

Not quite, no.

Back when Captain America's shield was a kite shield. Circle shield's better.

It's worth noting that writing dialogue alone is actually a lot of work on itself, especially when it's over several books at once, and adding basic plot guidelines as well. As for the treatment to the artists, while Lee was no angel (and Kirby often would take all the sole credit for his Marvel creations over his days at DC, so they both played that game as best as they could), he at least credited them on the page, which was more than what DC did at the time. Even the fabled Will Eisner, who apparently was a nice guy enough, wouldn't publically credit his assistants until the very end of The Spirit's original run.

And yes, Kirby's solo work had great ideas, but the delivery often fell flat. Things like Kamandi and Devil Dinosaur were more laughably So Bad, It's Good than anything else.

Having seen Kamandi at Earth's End...

It could've been worse.

So, this might sound far-fetched, but do you think Dimps showing off True Form Mira in DBH is foreshadowing more DLC for Xenoverse, or maybe even Xenoverse 2?

It's possible.

I can't believe I did it but I earned the A Fight Of Courage And Pride trophy in Xenoverse! I manged to win 6 more online matches in a row by playinf with 2 different teams.

Philosophy is now voiced.

...Audio posts on tumblr don't seem to work on Chrome for some reason.

Cool things from Online.

I liked Commander Red as a robot.

I agree. Kakarot wouldn't have been nearly as strong as Son Goku.

I finally manged to win 7 Endless Battles! Now all I need to do is revive a fallen party member 7 times and I'd have earned all the Pv P trophies!

How does one win an endless battle?

It's a King of the Hill Pv P mode that only allow 1 vs. 1 and no items. If you win a match, you keep fighting other guys in the waiting room until you lose and your streak is broken. You don't have to win 7 times in a row, just 7 times total.

Is propane allowed?

I'm sorry, that was just stupid. I thought it'd be funny, but now realize it's dumb.

I think i'm going to kill Knickers and make a competent Yamcha. I fear that I might be going to far now.

Also, in case someone hasn't heard the 2nd DLC 3 mentor is apparently Elder Kai

Xenoverse 2 ideas

http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/805627-dragon-ball-xenoverse/71397574?page=0

Only thing I also want is to be able to explore the entire world of Dragon Ball because c'mon, who wouldn't want to explore this: http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/dragonball/images/4/47/Dragonball_world_map_by_0some_weirdguy0-d4qonuq.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20120424171225

maybe also include places like King Kai's planet

Toriyama doing a new manga?

He also never would have learned to predict his enemies' movements or sense ki, because neither Karin nor God would have trained Kakarot. Also, given his level of power, he almost certainly would not have lived to adulthood - without Kame-sennin strength-training him, Kakarot's efforts to destroy the Earth, even as the mighty Oozaru, would have been ended by the likes of Tao Pai Pai or God.

That post mentions he wouldn't have laid down his life and received the afterlife training to get to the Kaioken, but he wouldn't have even made it far enough for that to matter. Kakarot was garbage by Saiyan standards even in comparison to the pathetically weak planet he was assigned to annihilate.

Those are good, but I'd rather have no RNG.

My Papaya's mentor progression has now gone

• Piccolo
• Vegeta
• Krillin
• Mr. Satan
• Cell
• Frieza

Frieza's a great big jerk who still can't resist the urge to taunt his enemies about how he will "kill every last remaining Saiyan". Papaya thinks that's awfully harsh, given the circumstances. She's still excited to train under him, though; not many Saiyans ever even got to meet the big man before their planet was unfortunately destroyed by a falling rock.

Cell remains the most supportive and trustworthy mentor she has ever had, and she appreciated how emotionally invested he was in her progress - while her other mentors have been a mixture of "God, you suck, stop embarrassing me," or "You're too awesome, stop embarrassing me!"

I DEMAND HUGS FROM CELL.

Anyway, DB Minus retconned it so that Goku wasn't born from a race of Always Chaotic Evil Proud Warrior Race Guys and was likely never sent to actually conquer the planet, so he was probably just really violent. 'Cause Saiyans are asses. Not evil, just assholes.

Even before then Prince Vegeta was seemingly the most evil Saiyan.

In the manga Nappa is shocked by how ruthless Vegeta is sometimes.

In the Bardock special nobody likes being around him because they're scared he could fly off the handle at any moment.

...I get the impression that Frieza was actually a good influence on him.
