Praising just both Vegeta & 17.

17 has a lot of cool moments, and that's something people like to see in this series. So...that tends to be equated with amazing writing.

Nothing wrong with that mind you, but it does show where people priorities are when it comes to Dragon Ball.

I mean, I have nothing against cool moments. It helps that I found a lot of 17's legitimately cool and not just the show doing something stupid while telling me I should find it cool. But that doesn't make his screen time any less curious.

I mean with Vegeta they really went heavy-handed with that he's a good guy & that he cares for his family to the point of mashing the screen with a piledriver.

His elimination is either the most beautiful thing in all of DB or the most narm cringe-inducing waste of animation.

I'm alright with Dad Piccolo jokes so long as they aren't accompanied by Goku is a terrible Dad jokes.

I've posted this before but like so.

Toriyama's correction of Kakarrot is an over-correction of a character who he hasn't been at the wheel for...for a while.

So Kakarrot's regression is a good thing, completely harmless.

Vegetarian is a true detective...

I'd say the worst thing in this regard is they keep retreading these story beats from Z.

They should take whatever material their pants are made of and use it to make their shirts.

Why when losing your shirt seems to cause you to power up.

I'm kind of late to make this joke but the reason vegata could stand and have energy when goku couldn't is goku still had his Shrit on while vegata had lost his.

The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success. Insanity runs in my family. It practically gallops.

The Goku Black arc is pretty good so far.

But then I'm also fine with Trunks/Mai so I think I'm a heretic.

Goku's constant desire to fight over the actual importance of Trunks' mission is annoying though. I see what you guys were getting at.

Goku Black has made me think to the original body swapper, Ginyu. Was Voices Are Mental in the manga? Like did anybody notice "Goku" didn't sound right when Ginyu was in his body?

That's always a viewer benefit trope, manga don't have to worry about that crud.

Is the viewer benefit also why it's suggested by works like GT and the games that Ginyu is in his original body when we first see him, despite the fact he must've already have experience body hopping? Or why filler Hell has Frieza organic but Gero cybernetic?

Gotta say that the way Team Four Star handled Ginyu's voice upon changing bodies is the way to go, and we should see more of that across fiction.
