[up][up][up]That Gohan one is so true. It bugs me when characters with amazing powers suddenly grab the Klutz ball. Gohan can move faster than the eye can see, but he can't catch an earring? That's like Superman tripping down a flight of stairs.

I guess that's why he started wearing glasses.

... these were the ingredients chosen by Professor Gero to create the perfect little Cell... GT did many things wrong, but one of the things it did right was his design.

Obligatory Yamcha joke.

Anyway, I hear rumors of a new DB series being talked about because of the success of Battle of the Gods. I'm inclined to doubt its truthiness.

It's just going to be GT all over again, if true.

I'm just praying that if there is a new series, they undo the awful Flanderization of some characters.

I would only accept a new series if it did two things.

1. GT is no longer canon.

2. Let someone else be the hero. Goku overstayed his welcome.

GT was never canon, you don't need a new series for that.

[up]I assumed by new series they meant an anime only continuation like GT. They could choose to set it after GT which would make it canon to that series.

They would probably not do that, as outside of heroes GT has been pretty much ignored.

And GT doesn't tie into BoG in anyway which the new series would.

Well that's good. I doubt they'd replace Goku though so I'll probably wind up not liking the new series.

I honestly don't mind Goku being given the spotlight. In fact I'd rather like it. I'd just prefer if they cut back on building up another character/ability to build up other characters*

only to have Goku ultimately save the day.

It could still be good with Goku as the main hero but I don't think I personally would like it.

I am utterly sick of Goku as the main character.

And I don't mind Piccolo's fusions. It's not like you'd actually expect him to defeat the Big Bad since he's a side character, but it at least gave him a chance to show off a bit and be relevant.

He held off 17 and pre-power boost Cell. That's impressive even if he couldn't finish either off.

I've never had a problem with Goku beyond my Vegetard butthurt. Goku's just, imo, the perfect idiot hero, and someone I can't hate no matter how much I wanna. If there's a next DB series, I just hope new kids don't show up and get thrust into the MC spot.

I don't particularly mind Goku as the main hero so long as everybody else still gets their fair share of action. He overshadowed everyone towards the end of the Buu saga, even the more powerful Gohan and Gotenks, which is rather disappointing. Goku vs. Kid Buu was a great finale, but it could have been led up to better I think, and had a better role for Gohan at least.

Heck, even GT would have been miles better if it didn't stand for "Goku Time". Not even fusing with Buu could make poor Uub relevant.

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!

I like Goku, but I got sick of him as a hero. A lot of that comes from hating how the Boo arc bent over backwards to have him as a the hero again, which really hurt the arc overall.

And his decision to let Majin Boo live was terrible.

Well to be fair, Gohan sucks so that's why no one wanted him as the hero.

Even if it was, it doesn't really matter.

"Just kidding"-type disclaimers and smileys are not a get-out-of-jail free card. Tacking one on the end of a rude post doesn't make the rudeness go away.

Actually I meant the poll thing. Saiga being rude and vulgar is in no way shocking or offensive- it's just him being an Australian.

[up][up][up] Well, maybe not at the time Toriyama fucked him over, but he definitely was number 1 in the early Boo arc.

I'll be in a corner, crying.
