Read this sentence: "Aunt May is shot and no one can help her."

You can now skip straight to the last volume of One More Day and miss nothing.

Thank God Superman's marriage with Lois paved the way for the return sorta of Spidey's marriage to MJ.

Just a reminder that DC decided it would be a good idea to get rid of that for a good while until they realized that it was stupid.

Also, last time I checked, OMD has yet to be undone.

There's some sort of alternate reality book, I think, named Renew Your Vows, exploring Peter and MJ's ongoing married life.

[up] That's the return. Renew Your Vows.

Very good book, basically Spidey teaming up with his wife & daughter to fight crime.

Cancelling marriage...that's why this discussion was going up!

In the end, the main problem of One More Day is that it exists to satisfy a manchild.

Pretty much. Quesada did it cause Spidey being married isn't his Spider-Man & everyone who didn't agree apparently in his words "Want Spdiey to grow old & die."

What a fucking brat & he's supposed to be a grown-ass man, that jerk.

I remember that he was divorced & his relationship with his wife ended badly. He was clearly projecting his own issues & tragically the poor victim was Spidey.

Manchild not because he didn't like marriage, but he could not conceive that he was not right. You know, like a toddler.

I'm gone for a hours and BAM. Goku is a really bad father. we've received what their doing in Super is ticking me off. I like the anime Goku better. He had development, and I like how he managed to learn a few new things. Super's anime Goku makes me wanna punch him in the face but anyway.

You called him Kakarrot instead of Karrot? World must be ending.

KP killed one of his kids...so there's that.

Cell made his kid-clones exist.

Okay maybe not true development but they did emphasis on him being a caring father during the Cell andThe Cinderella saga. If anyone Piccolo actually gave a sh— even though Gohan loves for Piccolo is Stockholm syndrome.

I will Goku a little grief for not realizing his son does not have his warrior spirit.

I mean he trained the kid for a year, shouldn't he have realized that Gohan is not the type to easily get powered up?

There was some good development on Gohan & Videl's relationship right?

Kind of.

I think it's considered the best written by default because it's literally the only couple in the series that transitioned to being a couple on screen.

The Piccolo is there for Gohan thing sort of falls apart when you realize that most of the time he's there, Goku is too or is own his way, and a way more often he's just by himself because that's how Piccolo roles.

He's not really a nurturing figure in Gohan's life; he shows up when he thinks he's in danger, but most of the time they aren't actually in contact, and neither seems to have a problem with that.

Maybe it's changed in Super.

I mean he trained the kid for a year, shouldn't he have realized that Gohan is not the type to easily get powered up?

I chalk that up to clumsy righting on Gohan's characterization. Because even if he never enjoyed fighting, at that point in the story he should realize there's no reason with someone like Cell, and just not fighting back didn't fly with me.

[up][up][up]Goku is like the fanboys of DBZ where all they care about it how strong you are, and if you aren't the strongest you are a worthless loser wasting your potential. who cares if your son has a happy fufilled life, he isn't stronkest ever which means he aint shit

[up]...Um, that's not what Goku is like at all. If you're going to call him a bad father at least do it for something he's actually guilty of.

I literally can't have a normal conversation based on dragonball without some jackass screaming SUPERMAN VS GOKU, always unnecessarily debating. I just wanna have a normal conversation but the fan boys rage on.

Here's something new (though it might have been something I brought up before):

If you could have any other character learn another technique in the series, who would you have learn what?

[up][up] Well don't worry dude I don't think we talk about that usually.

Unless its somewhat relevant to the topic such as origin stories & such.

[up] Ummmm, how many don't know the Solar Flare?
