It is possible for something with logistical problems to be better than something that plays the story a little safer. It's all about execution. Something fun and awesome with a few plotholes can frequently be much more enjoyable than a more consistent but also more boring story.

This is true. None of us would be here if it wasn't.

Though I'm only taking note of a lot of the flaws of Dragonball in hindsight. At the time I watched it, it was great, and I didn't ask for anything more but crazy fights, which is delivered time and time again.

[up][up] Which is exactly how I feel about Z versus DB.

Z has some big falling points, but has way higher highs than the early stuff. The early stuff is usually around the same quality, but always failed to really grab me.

You know, I've been thinking: What if Broly becomes canon?

But, instead of making the movies canon, they made their own little manga special with his story retold, a la Minus?

I mean, if that happens, I don't think it will be better, for three reasons:

1. Toriyama can be a lazy artist and writer, and we don't know how his Broly would be like

2. Toei, knowing about Broly's popularity, will not change him in the slightest bit

Maybe the third option would be good: Toyotaro writing him.

I mean, I don't know if that works since Toyotaro is a fanboy, and writes like a fanboy, but when he wrote that silly manga about Xicor, he tried to give Broly some depth, something Toei never tried, with his father issues with Paragus.

Who knows, maybe i'm just thinking out of my ass.

Also, Sidra, what the fuck man? I thought you weren't petty. Also, Im maybe speculating, but it appears Goku is training Frieza in ep 94 preview.

I'm both angry and amused by the idea.

Speaking of... (spoilers for tomorrow's episode I guess). Yep, that's pretty Broly. And that's definitely Super Saiyan 2 Caulifla.

[up] When those images were resurfacing (particularly the SSJ Kale one driving home her homage), I really thought they were fan arts from Deviant Art at first (and one particular critic (Ajay) thought so too). Better get the riot gear for both Frieza and SSJ 2 Caulifa...

I saw some of MistareFusion's videos, but I stopped watching because I disagreed with him on certain things. Mostly, the quality of the dub, the Ginyu Force,and certain anime filler.

Also, the way he ranks the story arcs feels backwards. For instance, he hated the Piccolo arc, yet it's ranked at 2.

Come to think of it, I wonder what Broly's thinks of Kale since hes notorious for being a massive fanboy.

...on second thought, maybe I don't want to know.

I wonder if Kale will become an ultra-bully when she transforms. It kinda looks like it.

While Cabba watches from the side like the human characters as it sinks in that he's the weakest of the three.

Hasn't it been long established that Cabba is the most powerful U6 Saiyan? Don't know where people are getting the idea he's weak just because someone else got a Super Saiyan transformation.

His teammates are a delinquent & Broly.

Its not hard to imagine that he would be the submissive one in the trio.
