Its almost like fans care more about numerical values than the author does or something.

It was too late to play that card the moment he let the power levels get as big as he did, and the numbers be as important as they were.

If he really wanted to show that numbers weren't important, then maybe he shouldn't have made Ki the One Stat to Rule Them All and merely having more was all that was important to be better.

When you shut down every other method of fighting to build up your villain, then suddenly have the heroes lose to something that shouldn't be an issue to them, then yeah people are gonna call foul.

Isn't Piccolo below Imperfect Cell after absorbing people? Who was about equal to Android 16?

He spent a year in the time chamber afterwards, and was stronger but not enough.

Well he managed to hold himself against the cell jr so he has to be stronger than imperfect cell, plus he did train in the hyperbolic time chamber, by himself but somehow that benefited him

...The only person other than Pan as Great Saiyaman 3 I will accept is Piccolo.

I'd be fine with Goten as Great Saiyaman 3. Have Bra and Pan be Great Saiyamen 4 and 5, and have Piccolo be Great Namekiman as the Sixth Ranger of the team.

The more I think about it, the space patrol locking up some prisoners who let themselves be imprisoned out of sheer boredom has potential if they didn't neuter the universe's total population to a measly paltry amount of planets.

Before that you could have easily assumed that because the universe is so big Frieza & Beerus could have missed some strong people but now that's more unlikely.

You know, seeing that Toyotaro is continuing the manga post-ToP, I am now confident that the anime will come back, cover the Broly movie, and then start following the manga.

I'm with you on that one, because shit that animation on episode 5 is atrocious.

Stop bring up episode 5, is no relevancy.

[up][up]If Super does a retelling of the new Broccoli movie it should probsly be cancelled.

Ideally, the DBS: Broly retelling would take some pages from how Boruto: Next Generations adapted the Boruto: Naruto the Movie somewhat recently (and of course, Toriyama and Toei's original 3-hours worth of content grin).

Which just means better pre-production by giving more time to the hopefully similar staff (minimum of 6 months, like any other any anime, compared to the 2 months that Super got).

Episode 5 is just played out.

There’s tons of more episodes with awful shots to talk about.

Like just a little while ago someone posted a thumbnail of a really ugly moment from the Ressection F arc.

I'm just not sure why it was necessary to bring it up...now.

It's not...cancer or anything similar.

I feel like one could make an argument that Super is basically like cancer for Dragon Ball.

[up][up]I'm not sure why it's "necessary" for you to keep telling people not to mention how bad Episode 5 was.

[up] I mean.

The cancer would be Dragon Ball Evolution, and Super is more like the chemotherapy and radiation to kill the cancer. And also the rest of you. Save your body by poisoning it.

We could, but maybe we shouldn't.

Yeesh. Remember when we all thought Super would banish the demons of Evolution?

I feel like all that live action movie did was awakening a far worse monster.

Though we did get the original Battle of Gods out of it. Maybe they should have stopped there.

Well, there is that fan comic where Piccolo has to cover for Gohan as the Great Saiyaman. And Vegeta has to cover for Videl.

I don't think the worst parts of Super come close to being as bad the worst parts of Evolution. Y'all are babies if you actually think that.

No, worse than babies, even.

The Tournament of Power had enough highlights to give me hope.

There were still flaws throughout, but as steps in the right direction go.

I’m hoping the Broly movie leads to something resembling a Renaissance.
