@ Saiga: Interesting you blame Toriyama rather than Toei for Super's failings. Care to tell us why?

That works, I suppose.

Translations are translations. I guess the Latin dub got this one right. They were all about the hidden power 'n shit, rather than potential.

Well...the manga version of Frost is just an impatient dick who saw the fights as pointless because there wasn't any prize money in it, so he just wanted to end it all quickly; anime Frost is a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing who started wars on several planets, just to end them himself so that he'd be hailed as a hero by them, making an entire empire out of doing this in the process.

I didn't see much bad on that Tumblr. I was actually laughing at some of the comics.

Hey Saiga.

Don't go using the Coola clip.

That's my thing.

Don't steal my thing that other people did before me and then I claimed for my own.

Even though I actually haven't done it in a while, but shut up.

I don't think anything you described has anything to do with what the artist in question actually believes.

Also, I think you're making the mistake of taking some statements a little too seriously.

Also.

I mean, Yamcha never did the Bingo dance. Or failed so spectacularly at making an omelet that the egg hatched and the baby chicken started making fun of him.

At least Yamcha knows he can't beat Goku and stopped trying. So he's got more pattern recognition.

I could swear from reading her headcanon stuff that she thinks Vegeta is a teeny-tiny overly-emotional manbaby who desperately clings to Bulma for attention.

I mean.

We don't really see enough of Vegeta in private to know that he's not. And it's clear that to an extent a lot of his behavior in public when he's around people is subtly different from his home life. Based just on the way Trunks and Bulma treat him.

Even in Super, Bulma seems surprised by how standoffish he is at times. As if it's abnormal behavior.

Like, yeah, most of the time he's in the time chamber probably, but when he's not.

Also.

I mean, Vegeta being a teeny-tiny overly-emotional manbaby is basically canon.

The only part that's headcanon is the part about clinging to Bulma for attention.

It more looks like she portrays Vegeta and Bulma as having a dysfunctional relationship because they're both assholes...which isn't wrong, to be fair.

Vegeta and Bulma are an exceptionally unholy union and as such they probably love each other a lot.

I love posting that video. Thank you for allowing me to do that.

Also, she's back in the sense that her blog is accessible instead of blocked. She still hasn't updated in like a year.

Which is fair enough. Apparently there was some stuff with harassment. That kinda sucked probably.

At least the blog is still up, and the comics are available for posterity.

I dunno. I never saw a stupidoomdoodles thing in which Vegeta was in character at all. I don't expect crack stuff to have the characters be 100% in-character all the time, though I do generally expect them to be exaggerations of themselves rather than random personalities.

Basically, if you wanna write an exaggerated Vegeta, the closest you can get is season 2-onwards DBZA Vegeta. Still completely recognizable as Vegeta, but also clearly out of character in that he's an exaggerated version of himself.

I still get a kick out of the thought of Bulma bringing Vegeta to snooty rich people parties. Quite possibly with the intent that he'll raise Hell.

Bulma would definitely try to do that.

Actually-in-character Vegeta would tell her to sod off and go train instead.

But you see, that's one of the things I'm willing to forgive for the sake of the joke of Vegeta attending a snooty rich people party and raising hell in it.

[up][up]Like.

It makes a kind of sense that she would? He'd be her plus one.

And I have no idea what he'd do there. I keep going back and forth.

Maybe he wouldn't go. Unless she bribed or blackmailed him. Which she could, probably. Depending.

Maybe he'd wanna go because he's bored of training all day. Which. I mean, would get repetitive. Seeing the same four walls all day everyday. Everyone has to take breaks sometime. And Goku's dead, and Vegeta's going to hell and not keeping his body, so. He doesn't actually have a reason or a motivation to train anymore. It's just something to do.

According to Toriyama, Vegeta watches infomercials.

But as for his behavior.

I could see her wanting him to behave himself and him going along with it because she implied he couldn't. "You couldn't last a minute with these rich people without getting mad and blowing something up" "oH yEAH?"

Vegeta's really competitive.

Alternatively.

She could bring him hoping he'd fuck everything up, and she's feeling mean. And instead he behaves himself like a perfect gentleman just to spite her.

I feel like Bulma has some control over Vegeta, that she'd be able to squeeze him just enough to get him to attend. I imagine something like this would happen:

  • Snooty Rich Person: So what does your husband do for a living?
  • Bulma: He was in... real estate. Attached to a... very powerful, very aggressive firm.

Pretty sure some of Stupidoomdoodles's comics and jokes are references to things. Like. Parks and rec. Anchorman. Bob's burgers.

And, like.

In the anime Vegeta's afraid of worms.

  • Vegeta, right next to her: I exterminated planets so that a megalomaniacal tyrant could then sell them to other species at a price so high as to be greater than all the currency in the history of this planet combined. And I ate people.

Off-topic, but which of the Zanpakuto from Bleach would be the most fitting for a Saiyan? My pick is either original Zangetsu because it's basically energy attacks and brute force, or Kenpachi's Nozarashi, due to it being the most simple-minded weapon in the series, and Kenpachi himself practically being a Saiyan himself.

At least one of the comics from that Tumblr is an admitted reference to an episode of Gravity Falls, and some of the other ones are references to Steven Universe (which makes sense considering all the comparisons people have made to SU being similar to DB).

  • Bulma (stepping on his foot): Don't mind him, he has... flashbacks. To... the war. Never been the same. Lost his father over there. I just had to marry him, he's so... vulnerable.

  • Vegeta, not even the tiniest bit affected: The previously-mentioned megalomaniac killed my father... I'd say about five minutes before he destroyed my planet? Oh, right. Forgot to mention that. I'm an alien. Used to turn into a giant monkey. My son is a half-breed abomination.
