[up][up]Ribrianne has always been shallow. That's the entire bit about her, so her thinking 18 and Krillin's love is "tainted" because he's unattractive is entirely believable.

That being said, she's an annoying character but hardly the most annoying character ever. And her getting batted around this episode was funny more because of how cartoonish it was than because I have some undying hatred of Ribrianne (or just Brianne, I guess).

Also, I could have sworn we did cover the implications of her wish when it was first revealed. Or maybe I just thought that, due to how obvious it was.

I remember either I or someone else brought it up, but for the most part that bit of dialogue went surprisingly without discussion.

[up] It would have worked if he didn't cheat though.

[up][up] Yeah we didn't talk about it much.

Its a pretty good topic, really shows how crazy she & Helles are.

Oh yeah don't think too hard about Super fights and the... "tactics" used therein.

I think by the point where Ribrianne revealed she wanted to wish herself to be a god, I was more on the stance of finding her character as having overstayed her welcome. tongue

Saiga: Honestly, the choreography made it a decent fight. It's just that it doesn't make sense in terms of the established mechanics.

I mean, decent compared to just two dudes punching each other, anyway.

Yeah, the mechanics are what I mean. It bothers me even when the choreography is nice.

It's like, you could have choreography and make sense if you tried.

Theoretically.

Also, Frost clearly doesn't know Namekian biology. Wouldn't he have been disqualified for fatalities with a normal opponent for that blow?

Saiga Since: Feb, 2011 Relationship Status: Getting away with murder
#69536: Nov 25th 2017 at 10:35:48 PM

Against another opponent, that wouldn't blow a hole in them.tongue

Nevermind that the presence of regeneration shouldn't mean that Namekians are less durable.

Clearly they're less durable because they're just bags of water with trace amounts of dirt and other contaminants.

"The amount of disgust I have at the amount of disgust some people have towards Ribrianne is immense. I happen to really like her, and the sheer lengths some people will reach to portray her as some kind of irredeemable and disgusting monster makes me sick to my stomach and fills me with rage. Also, the almost perverse pleasure some people get from her being eliminated sickens me. I felt that she was really cool in this episode, got eliminated in a badass and fitting way, and the lesson she learned was very well done (even if her having this flaw kind of came out of nowhere). "

Did you forget how she murdered two people in cold blood just because they questioned her fighting skills? And don't say that she didn't kill them because we clearly saw them get vaporized.

Here, let me remind you. Take note of the fact that they explode and there is nothing left. There is no way they could have survived.

Ribrianne is scientifically designed to absorb the maximum amount of hatred a person can possibly output.

Yeah, I'm sure the technicolor background meant that what we were seeing there was exactly the reality of the situation. It's a Magical Girl attack sequence, okay, it's not uncommon for those to show the opponent explode into a puff of smoke, only to fall down dazed and very much alive in the next shot in reality.

Character = dislike

But too much dislike = bad

Really?

I thought it was one of the better fights of the arc. The opponent actually has unique abilities with Vegeta locked in an environmental disadvantage.

[nja]ing this to ask something that still bugs me to this day.

Why doesn't Goku Black count as Wicked Cultured? Not only is he basically Zamasu in a Goku skin (who, in turn, counts as an example), he named his Super Saiyan form after a type of wine (as opposed to calling it Super Saiyan Pink, or Super Saiyan Rose, or anything other than Super Saiyan Rosé that links to the color pink).

With all that said, how does he not count as Wicked Cultured?

Yeah, that's the thing. He only manages to be a threat because of stupid forced gimmicks. Plus destroying the barrier should be a rule violation and, if not, it should be instantly replaced. Also, what's with it being weak enough to destroy? The whole justification for it was to keep the audience safe, yet it can't even stand up to Vegeta yelling? And the real reason for it was to limit Vegeta's movement, yet it was left weak enough for Vegeta to break at his leisure.

Also, why is heat or lava even a threat to Vegeta? And how can Magetta take that kind of pummeling? Vegeta is a planet buster times at least a million. That being said, Vegeta should have lost the moment he touched the ground outside the arena. I don't care that he was technically stepping on a piece of debris, he was clearly outside the ring.

Oh yeah, and the fact that Vegeta is only using SS rather than at least SS2 also really undermines the threat level Magetta poses. The obviously stronger opponent sandbagging to make things more dramatic is lame. It's like the earlier tournaments where Goku or whoever would hold back just so Krillin or Yamcha could look good for a minute or two.

Vegeta vs Magetta is one of my favorite fights of the franchise.

Arha Since: Jan, 2010
#69550: Nov 25th 2017 at 11:57:41 PM

Oh yeah, and why would it matter if Magetta was a robot? He clearly moves under his own will, so he isn't a weapon being used by someone else.

Racism. Pure racism.
