Yamamoto probably could have just killed everyone there, yeah.

I dropped Bleach because I couldn't get through another slogfest of giving every minor character some minion to fight for multiple chapters. If that happened in Dragon Ball it would be terrible.

Well it comes back to what Saiga said. You have to be smart with your cast. Kubo was anything but smart with his cast. He has way too many characters to try and give them all proper attention, which is why even the ones who got fights ended up sucking dirt and looking pathetic.

Yeah, that's true. It'd also be more preferable to see one of my parents brutally murdered in front of me than both of them.

Either would be more preferable to dealing with more Gine.

Yeah I get Gine's not exactly a "good" character, but she's seriously better than Hanasia.

I have no idea who Hanasia is.

Too over powered, and more like a typical Saiyan.

Seems more like a Mary Sue character if you don't mind me tossing out that phrase.

Then again, I think Gine is too much in the other direction.

If there can be entire pages of people just shitting on Naruto or Fairy Till, I don't feel terribly out of place just being one poster talking about how bad this series is.

Well, people probably shouldn't be doing that pages at a time in threads outside of the series (I'd think you'd probably shouldn't be doing it in the series thread, either, actually) but that doesn't mean you should go into opposing threats just to complain about how much the topic thread sucks and [[insert series]] is better or the reverse. Which really does seem to be all you ever do.

Its all about execution and purpose; if your Quirky Mini Boss Squad serves no other purpose than to just pad out your fight scenes, then its probably a good idea to not use them :V

I feel like the Quirky Mini Boss Squad needs to serve a specific, unique purpose for the villain and why they're in the story.

Fine then, in the threads I frequent that you appear in, that's all you do. Yes, I read your posts here.

Meanwhile Piccol, who in the past regenerated from way worse injuries is instantly killed by a small hole in his chest. Gohan finally realizes he done goofed and calls for daddy.

Meanwhile the real drama happens at Beerus place where Goku and Vegeta eaten all the pizza. Then they go to Earth.

Oh also, Vegeta kills Ginyu in three seconds.

Then Freeza transforms and Goku doesn't. The end.

I guess it all depends on what threads you and I both frequent, then. I don't recall being particularly negative in any topic except this one. Maybe Harry Potter but that was years ago.

Happened to Saber too!

Wait, they brought Ginyu back and just used him as an antagonist again? What's the point of that?

I wake up and see another argument, and someone actually remembered that I usually bring popcorn to these things.

I AM NOW WELL KNOWN.

Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?

I will burn and steal all your popcorn.

All of it. If the rest of us can't be happy, why should you?

So says Rob.
