Honestly, it's kind of amazing how, 128 episodes in, the thread still seems to be populated mostly by people who hate the show with a passion.

You'd think they'd watch something they like instead by now.

Legitimately confused as to why "anyone" would watch something they "like"...

Everyone here who dislikes Super still likes some parts of it, and it is the new hotness for Dragon Ball at the moment.

And here we go again lol.

Criticizing a show's flaws OBVIOUSLY means that we must hate everything about it. Obviously.

Pay no attention to the fact that I have enjoyed many moments and episodes before. Nope. I either have to like everything about it or just hate everything about it.

No complicated thoughts and feelings here, nope.

Hey its not like this show doesn't have good parts. [nja]

Its just the ending of this particular arc is turning out to be crap.

We all agreed that the U6 Arc was pretty great & that while the Black Arc had a great beginning the ending was controversial.

[up] Heh its funny how we both keep following each others posts while having a Gohan image for our profile. tongue

When the thread is about the majority complaining & criticizing what is supposed to be the impression at that point?

Like PMC said, some people are also here because they enjoy some things about Super even if we don't like everything about it.

So jiren was double Batman and 17 has been cemented as the MVP of this arc... somehow. It was a fun episode. Not as sloppy as the Toppo stuff. Not fantastic, but I watched Mazinger Z Infinty earlier today, so nothing was going to match up battle-wise.

This is a general thread, so it's meant to be about every aspect of the franchise.

Considering there's a Hellsing Ultimate, FMA Brotherhood, and Boruto thread - perhaps a subsidiary DB Super thread should have been made.

Let me pitch an idea I had: 18 and 17 are around SS3 level from training over the years, but while they're waiting for the tournament, Bulma gives them upgrades. This upgrade basically gives them a transformation, which allows them to build up energy and burn it all at once while overclocking their Infinite Energy Generators. While Overclocking, 17 and 18 are close to Blue level, which is how they're able to fight opponents at that level later in the tournament. Overclocking only lasts temporarily, though, and they need time for their Infinite Energy Generators to recharge it once it runs out.

[up]x2: It would be too late at this point, considering Super's about to end soon to focus on general DB content for the time being (plus, Super's a midquel for Z, unlike the aforementioned reboots and sequels).

Maybe for a sequel series, but I personally find it redundant unless it goes for the "next generation" approach.

When the thread is about the majority complaining & criticizing what is supposed to be the impression at that point?

That maybe, just maybe...there are a few problems with the show?

I mean Jesus man, you act as if this is the only site on the Internet that talks about this show. If negativity bothers you so much, go to another website where it's nothing but endless praise for everything. I'm sure you'd find that easily.

Yeah I just meant that there isn't really anything new to talk about aside from DBS and Fighter Z. At least until we get more info on the movie.

I mean, I still have fun with Super and aren't as bothered by a lot of the things other people bring up. I'm just not going to tell them to stop bringing them while they're still relevant.

But it takes a lot for me to truly hate a piece of media. I'm annoyed by many things about Super and its execution, but I'm not anywhere close to hating it.

[up][up][up][up][up] Hey that be a fun idea especially the idea of upgrades since logically the Androids can be improved.

Honestly I'm more just disappointed with how this arc went especially with the fact Jiren isn't a righteous hero of justice but a power-hungry uncaring jackass.
