IIRC, the one year limit only applied when multiple people were being revived.

Sorry movie I am not hyped by the return of some chump who died years ago.

Oh, the koala lived and the generic looking skinny guy was the one who got immediately axed so that we know that Freeza is a Very Bad Man.

Okay, who's the midget alien who is not named Taco?

Why does this movie assume I know who Not Paco and Tights are but not who killed Freeza?

It is kind of odd how, even with Super's expanded focus on Dragon Ball's godly pantheon, we still have yet to see any Kamis of any other planets besides Earth.

Obviously only humans have souls and therefore nobody else needs a god.

"Stay in the kitchen sweetie daddy's got important work to do."

What the fuck.

Oh yeah and why did a bullet even hurt Videl? She should be like ten time stronger than start of manga Goku and he was immune to bullets already. Even Roshi and Krillin just thought they hurt.

Okay, why are you opening a can of worms such as turning back time on command? Setting aside that now I know the Earth is going to be destroyed or something, do you hate having tension in your story that much, Toriyama?

Why are Roshi, Tien and Krillin here? And what do you mean 'this is too dangerous for Chaotzu and Yamcha' you are just as much of a useless deadweight as they are and you have been since Nappa at best and Drum at worst.

This movie is terrible and unsalvageable and there is no point to me making further comments. Just know that I hate all of this.

There being no point isn't enough to stop me I guess why are they struggling against mooks. Why did Krillin use his damn spinny choppy zoom beam on a cliff instead of actual enemies? Why did Piccolo take off like one hundred pound weights as though that would matter? Why are Tien and especially Roshi even here?

Man, I didn't think this movie could make me think Krillin sucks more than I already did. And what's with all this bringing out of "signature" attacks that were barely even used in the original? And why is red horny guy beating up Piccolo? Does he have a fatal illness crippling him like Goku did in the Androids arc? Piccolo should be, what, semi Perfect Cell level at this point?

New post time instead of continuing to make edits! Since when could people make guns that are stronger than Golden Freeza's attacks? Dude is carrying a planet buster on his ring finger. And yet they still haven't killed Sorbet. Why is he still alive I don't understand.

Krillin to 18. "Yeah I know you're stronger than me but, like, you're a girl so you should take care of Marron or whatever her name is, I don't remember, I'm too busy being manly."

Kuririn, of course.

If it makes you feel better the Super version is even worse.

There is no sense to 18 staying behind. If it was just to bring the old cast back together than Yamcha should have shown up but he didn't so it was for the most powerful humans but 18 is stronger than Krillen.

Also Arha your shredding comments are as welcome as always. tongue

It should be noted that the whole scene with the crew fighting the mooks was just pure fanservice so thats why characters long in retirement like Krillen, Tien, & even Roshi joined in on the action.

So your opinion on that section is really dependent on how much you like these characters. Personally I thought it was awesome seeing them all kick some ass but again thats just me.

Poor Yamcha though, he really has become a meme. The theater I was in while watching the movie burst out laughing after what Tien said.

^^^ Her reaction was pretty bad too but just him saying that was awful on its own.

That section lasted way too long and added absolutely nothing. It also made Krillin, Piccolo and Gohan look like complete chumps.

Tien too I guess since I had the impression he was vaguely similar to Krillin in strength, but since that's just my guess I don't really care.

Also, unrelated to this movie being abysmal, but is it just me or does Freeza look more like a monkey than Saiyans? With those short lets and prehensile feet and tail he looks way more suited to living in a tree leaping from branch to branch than the basically human saiyans. Sure he lacks hair, but Goku never threw shit at anyone so it's about even.

Okay, so, why does anyone care that the Earth blew up? Namek still exists.

That's the problem with this series. There is no sense of stakes.

Also wow this movie is so bad that my distractions have equaled my watch time.

If Whis and Beers weren't there everyone would've died anyway...

And nobody would've cared to wish them back The End...

Yeah the Boo arc upgrading Namek's balls means that it would be extremely difficult to have any tension after that.

This is not something they address, but is something they make way worse.

^^

King Kai: "Hey Namekians so like all your buddies died can you wish them back?"
Namekians: "K."

Also what was even the point to blowing up the Earth and then undoing it? Padding?

Okay, Goku kill stealed, movie is over so far as I'm concerned.

The nicest thing I can say about this is that so far as I know Pilaf, Mai and... Shu? Was that his name? never reentered the story. I bet they did after the point I quit watching and Trunks began sloppily making out with all three just to make it even more disgusting.
