...what am I even DOING here?
#26551: Oct 18th 2015 at 8:41:53 PM

First of all, about Chi-Chi...seriously, she is not a character you have to overthink. She's supposed to be unlikeable. She's supposed to act completely irrationally. Because she's just an idiot who still doesn't understand how the world works. Although even I agree Toei goes too far with her. Like...have you guys seen Super Android 13? Even with subtitles, she acts completely horrible there.

Episode 14 is making me sadly realise Toei is going to keep all their filler characterisations. So you'd better be prepared to see more nagging Chi-Chi, perverted Roshi, and Krillin getting owned for no reason.

The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!

I'm not really surprised they went that route with Chichi. I think Toei just needed an excuse for Goku not to keep training. And for better or for worse it's easier to believe that Chichi is a nagging housewife that won't let him train than to believe Goku can't find an effective training method on his own just because he's much more powerful now. I mean the way she said she spent every last zeni Mr Satan gave them in episode 1 says everything. It would have been more effective if Chichi had a scene with Videl and Gohan where they told her she was being irrational and she didn't have to spend all her money on their baby knowing how Goku is. But it's a lazy plotline and Videl and Gohan almost exclusively interact with each other and with Pan now. In fact the entire Supporting cast will be Flat characters I think. They're just there because as fans we're familiar with them.

Didn't Satan basically give them a billion dollars? How the fuck did she spend it all?

Man, Superman's been overwhelmed by a man dressed as a bat, and Goku's been defeated by a talking, Egyptian cat.

What are the odds?

Saiyans also tend to break things.

Capsule Corp. probably has a budget section devoted entirely to Vegeta.

Saiyans are like War and Famine two for one pack.

Speaking of Vegeta breaking things, I still want an episode of him having to be Bulma's date to a snooty high-society party.

If Bulma brought him it would be because she wanted him to fuck shit up.

I can imagine Vegeta behaving himself out of spite.

I kind of figure that Chichi is fibbing though, and just making an excuse so Goku won't run off and be "unrespectable".

I don't care.

I liked Chi-Chi in the Piccolo saga. That's my Chi-Chi.

I haven't watched the show Super yet, but they made Chi-Chi out of character when it comes to her not allowing Goku to train, because in the DBZ series, she only had a problem with Gohan training, not Goku.

[up]Basically here, she's making Goku get a job to support the family. He got a brief reprieve when Mr. Satan gave them money but the most recent episode implied that Chi Chi may have given the money to Gohan since he's expecting a kid now.

edit

On a side not, I find it hilarious that Chi Chi has Piccolo whipped too. The whole "Piccolo is a better father" stuff just got some additional subtext. [lol]

If it's the latter, they might go with Piccolo, who's the next strongest, and then 18.

You're forgetting Majin Buu. tongue

You know, back in Z Goku just noded while Chi Chi was ranting and the went and did what he wanted anyway. Why is he suddenly a henpecked husband?

Because before, Goku had a justifiable excuse, having to train to prepare for the Androids and later Cell.

But Piccolo WAS a better father. I bet that in generations hence, Goku's descendants will wonder why their great-ancestor was a green-skinned Slug man...

Piccolo patented parenting method: Throwing toddlers at mountains and leaving them in the wilderness to fend for themselves. Truly a father of the year material.

Back to Super, so WHAT will Champa use when apparently humanity is extinct in universe 6? :P
