I can't help but ponder how the entire plot of Resurrection "F" happened because Piccolo and Gohan felt evil energy, noticed Shenron being summoned, and decided to do jack shit.

Gohan was probably busy studying or something. Or was he working at that point? You can't leave work just to go play around with dragons! That would be so irresponsible as a member of society.

That doesn't explain Piccolo who has no life, though.

He has tall places to stand on. And... wastelands to looks after. You know, important stuff.

To be fair, the evil energy they felt was Tagoma and Sorbet, neither of whom is even the mildest of a threat.

Goku vs Beerus was supposed to have tension and build-up, because this was the first signficant Dragonball feature in years. This was Toriyama stepping back up to the plate. You didn't truly know if Goku could beat Beerus.

Goku vs Frieza was self-indulgent, bringing back an old villain. There's no tension. Right from the beginning Tagoma presents the sensible solution to Frieza that would've ended the film, and Frieza kills him for it.

I feel like there was a little tension when Golden Freeza was revealed to be stronger than Super Saiyan Blue Goku.

Nooot really. That fight is just a rehash of the anime version of SSJ Goku VS 100% Freeza. Goku's kicking the shit out of Freeza, Freeza powers up, Freeza appears to kick the shit out of Goku for a bit, Goku kills Freeza.

What, you're going to push off all the hard work onto the green guy? Sure, let all the pretty humans with their sexual reproduction stay at home all comfortable while the green guy has to go do the dangerous jobs.

[up][up]Well, there's that part in between where Goku gets a hole put in him, Vegeta finally gets his shot, finishes mopping the floor with Frieza, Frieza pulls a rage quit and destroys Earth, Whis rewinds time, and Goku pulls a Kill Steal to save the day.

Beyond that, total rehash.

Edit: And now that I think about it, it wouldn't be the first time things escalated as far as they did because someone did something really stupid (the entire Android / Cell Saga, and a lot of the Buu Saga as well).

He doesn't even get paid minimum wage! Hell, does he even get paid at all? I don't think he does. No wonder he just lives in the wasteland, he can't even afford a cheap apartment.

@IndirectiveActiveTransport

This is all wrong. In order:

  • Freeza says he'll reach a power of 1.3 million
  • He's in his First Form, but just talking about the power he will reach. It makes no sense for it to be about his artificial first form and wouldn't work even if it were because his final form would still be too weak.
  • Akira Toriyama didn't say that, it was Freeza's voice actor. And it was a joke, because he was making a pun - 100 quintillion in Japanese sounds a bit like they they pronounce "nice guy". He said because Freeza was a nice guy, that's how powerful he would be. Obvious joke.

Wasn't the 'increase my Power Level to 1,300,000' line a mistranslation and the correct line would be more 'multiply my Power Level by 1,300,000'?

Wait a minute, if Shisami is strong enough to match Piccolo, who's far stronger than Freeza was on Namek, why do they need Freeza around? Shisami could just step up his game and become just as dreaded as Freeza was.

[up]Shisami was said, early on in the film, to be about as strong as Dodoria or Zarbon. He only got strong enough to fight Piccolo after 4 months of training.

Ok, who let Light Yagami in here?
