I wish I could appreciate the Saiyan Arc for more than just regurgitating Mistare Fusion's videos.
The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!A lot of people say the arc is good, and I really like the final Vegeta fight, but I can't figure out other ways I like it that isn't just me linking to what he says in his videos. And I want to have opinions that aren't just me linking to what someone else says.
Then again, I actually like the Cell Arc and find the Red Ribbon Army boring, so I guess not ALL my opinions come from his videos.

Oh, I get you. And I think I disagree with him on about everything.
I'm kind of curious what you meant on his Saiyan arc opinions, but on the other hand I find his videos rather obnoxious in how he never acknowledges his extreme prejudice.
In my opinion, yes.
He also has some weird double standards and will deliberately recount scenes incorrectly to support his biases.
And one thing that's kind of minor but crops up in all his videos, he's clearly building up to a big rant about Yamcha cheating on Bulma. Every time Bulma does something unsavoury, he pretty much brings his review to a halt to make a big deal of it, ask the viewer to keep in mind for it later, and he does the same thing whenever he finds evidence that Yamcha didn't cheat.
It comes off as extremely manipulative, even though it's obvious what he's doing.

Well that is kind of uncalled for.
The first example I can think of is how he took a huge issue with Goku's heart stop in the Daimao arc. He really dislikes the Daimao arc, and this is one example where I think his bias against it really influenced him because he describes the events completely incorrectly to make it worse.
In the Daimao arc, Goku's heart stops beating temporarily after he receives a savage beating from Daimao. He narrowly survives, and Yajirobe resuscitates him. According to Mistare Fusion, it's treated very easily and Yajirobe splashes some water on his face and Goku is bouncing around completely fine.
That's not what happens.
In actuality, Yajirobe freaks out when he realizes Goku's heart starts beating again, and shakes him awake. Goku is really out of it, and says he needs water, so Yajirobe takes him to a river and washes his face. At this point, Goku's still not standing up on his own, and his eyes are lidded because he's in such bad shape. He's unable to climb Korin tower with his injuries, and doesn't recover until Korin gives him a senzu.
That's one example where he made a huge deal out of a minor scene, and recalled it incorrectly, to give reasons why he disliked the Daimao arc so much.
My guess is that Bulma has: been attacked by a telekinetic nazi, been cheated on by her first boyfriend, attacked by a variety of monsters before she reached drinking age, has encountered at least 4-5 martial arts masters in her lifetime, traveled to an alien planet of people who survive solely on water and control a wish-granting dragon, narrowly escaped said planet's destruction, met a future version of her son, and even died to a sentient bubble gum monster - all of this in-between the time an Asian woman, a fox ninja, and a blue midget kidnapped and tried to to tickle information out of her.
I wouldn't remember those three stooges from 30-50 years ago either.
Bulma's life and perspective on all of the Lovecraftian level sh't that happens in this series would be an interesting read.

I'M MR. MEESEEKS, LOOK AT ME!She does.
Hell, with the right attack, Krillin could destroy the planet. He's more powerful then Saiyan Saga Vegeta, who was able to destroy the Earth with his Galick / Garlic gun attack, and that was him at his weakest.
One Strip! One Strip!I have an idea that I've been kicking around for a while. Would it improve the series if, instead of losing off-panel to Cyborg Taopaipai, Chiaotzu actually crushed him with little difficulty, and went on to battle Tenshinhan in the quarter-finals?
Instead of retreading past ground and having Tenshinhan confront someone he used to idolize but has long since moved on from in a rather underwhelming match, we have a Krillin vs Goku-esque battle of two best friends fighting and trying to defeat each other, giving Chiaotzu some actual characterization and letting him cut loose and almost beat Tenshinhan a couple times through skill and interesting techniques before inevitably losing.
Chiaotzu ? What's that ?
Got it, lol.
Honest answer though, while Chiaotzu is criminally underused, I feel like Cyborg Tao's "fight" was overall more important for Tien's Character Development. It'd be interesting to witness Tien vs Chiaotzu at this point, of course, but it's just my opinion.

It probably has to do with my plans to make at least 6 live-action Dragon Ball movies, each one stopping at the aforementioned moments.
