Yeah but someone put it there and I took it off. It might even be back I never checked.
It even happened in thread; remember that joke about Krillin's low power level that a lot of people just thought was Krillin being cool?
Yamcha's legacy, everyone.
They made a toy of how Yamcha died.
Which is funny actually but not really related to what we were talking about.

Haha oh yeah, and Kaiser had to clarify he was just weak.
That joke must have happened earlier in the thread, before I started posted here.
Not as angry as the name would suggest.
...what am I even DOING here?
A bit late, but I'd have to say Krillin getting killed by Freeza. The timing on that joke was just perfect. And then they didn't put it in when they repeated it in the next episode so it wouldn't ruin Goku going Super Saiyan.
The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!
Krillin flies up to Trunks, Trunks says he didn't notice him, and Krillin says he affectionately refers to it as stealth mode. It was obvious to me it was a joke about how weak he is but a lot of people apparently didn't get it.
I also have to agree with the death by Freeza.
For the reasons everyone else has already said.
what do you mean I didn't win, I ate more wet t-shirts than anyone else
Besides pulling a failed Heroic Sacrifice against Buu (which I hope they don't count as an "owned moment," tbh), the only moments past the Cell Saga that I can think of as worthy of the owned counter are him getting stoned by Dabura and the filler moment where he fucks up at cards (which given their approach to that sort of thing has a good chance of not appearing anyway).
Though of course if they want to they can just create moments where there weren't any before. They did that a bit early on, and most recent one shows they're still willing to do it for a laugh.

"The difference between reality and fiction is that fiction has to make sense." - Tom Clancy, paraphrasing Mark Twain.
They could also use that filler where he and Yamcha are fighting Kid Buu. But again, they might just not even bother with that.
I think Kaiser's editing could make anything happen.
We seriously proposed that Goku's not going to grab Dende and it still makes a frightening amount of sense.

On the note of "TFS making more sense than canon", have you guys noticed that the device Bulma gave to Krillin wasn't a shut-down device. It was remote detonator for the bombs in their chest. In the original, the device just shut 18 off and Krillin would have to kill her separately. In the TFS version, this device is going to flat-out blow her up.

I think it was that way in the anime too (dub?). I feel like that version makes more sense anyway because 16 later tries to blow Cell up with a bomb that was inside him.
No, the bombs are present in the anime and manga but detonating it was not what the remote was for. Krillin was supposed to get close to her, turn her off, and then blast her. He couldn't go through with it but that was the plan.

Role Model
Krillin couldn't turn 18 off if he tried...

The sad, REAL American dichotomy
I'm failing to see what that has to do with making sense. Either way he'd have to blow her up.
And it makes a lot less sense as a detonator since it is based off Gero's remote which was not a detonator.
Ah, but that was only the DECOY remote!
You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!

Think about who made it. Also, it wasn't based off of Dr. Gero's remote, Bulma just made it from the schematics Trunks yoinked.
Also, I wonder why Gero didn't do something like install the kill switch into his own circuits so that way he could deactivate them with a thought. Maybe make it a dead man switch to ensure they didn't kill him.

It makes more sense because it gives a better reason for Krillin to destroy the remote. In canon, it seemed a bit weird because he hadn't even gotten to the hard part - that is, actually killing her once she was shut down.
In DBZA, if he hits that button, he kills 18 for good, and he knows that. It explains why he decides to smash it.

Yeah. He could have just deactivate 18, dumped her into the ocean somewhere he can find her later and then waited. Cell and Vegeta search for her, they fail, Vegeta gets bored and kills Cell.

Also I just found out 16 is more powerful than 17 and 18. What the hell Gero? Why is every one of your creations weaker than the last?
Less power=easier for Gero to control them, IIRC.
Why he didn't make himself as strong as 17 and 18 still isn't explained.
Wait, what? That sounds completely insane.
