Goku had Oozaru since he was a kid, Kaio-Ken during the Saiyan Saga, SSJ during the Frieza Saga, Ascended and Ultra in the Cell Saga, SSJ-2 and 3 during the Buu Saga, Gold Oozaru and SSJ-4 during GT and Super Saiyan God in the new movie with that last one being the most powerful form for any known Saiyan.

I remember when Super Saiyan 1 was just a legend.

Note, if ya don't know what Super Saiyan God looks like, this is it.

It's like the Saiyan equivalent of Frieza's final form, but way more powerful.

But seriously, one thing I really hated about DBZ was how almost everyone from the original series was either Demoted to Extra or completely forgotten about because Akira apparently doesn't know that the Badass Normal trope exist's. I still like DBZ despite this, but in some ways I prefer the original Dragon Ball show {Which is not at all helped by how I think the Cell and Buu arc are tedious and ridiculously drawn-out, which means I should probably watch Dragon Ball Z Kai at some point}. Both of them are still legions ahead of Dragon Ball GT though.

I only saw two or three DBZ episodes back in the day. One of them was actually pretty funny, something about a coffee machine.

Toriyama did say if they did another movie next time, Vegeta would be the main character of it. I find it surprising because he hated Vegeta.

Wow they really ran out of ideas with that Super Saiyan God form. Seriously it's like he's going into his Kaioken state.

Goddammit, how many people are gonna keep saying that. If ya put them side-by-side, they look nothing alike.

The thing is, Kaio-Ken is just a red aura power-up. SSJG on the other hand makes the user's hair and eyes red as well as slimming down the muscles and making the user taller. Also, the aura is like a blazing fire rather than a normal red aura.

Today has been a good day so far. Mom went out of town, and was able to buy more wall cubes for me at hobby lobby (which I owe her 75 bucks for). And we had homemade tuna casserole for dinner. Now I just hope work goes well. I haven't done the late shift before.

Just remember to keep calm and to keep a pack of minty gum to keep you up and to freshen yourself in the wee hours of night. Also, be careful at 3 AM, that's a fucked up hour.

Just saw the episode. AJ looks strikingly good in black socks.

Well we're only here til 10:30, but I'm usually asleep by 11 so yeah.

I think I'll be fine. Just not used to that shift. At my last job I was always gone by 5:30.

The three heads of the chimera arguing with each other reminded me of the three-headed knight who menaces Sir Robin in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Which then made me think, what if there was a My Little Pony's Flying Circus and there was a pony version of that movie? I know that I've seen some clips where the dialogue from the movie was dubbed over scenes from the MLP cartoon, such as the Bridge of Death scene. These are the equivalents I thought of:

  • Twilight Sparkle is King Arthur and Spike is Patsy.
  • Pinkie Pie is Sir Bedevere and the "witch" is Zecora and instead of a witch she accuses Zecora of being an "evil enchantress"
  • Applejack is Sir Galahad because one could see her honesty as being purity, she's not that interested in romance and she didn't really fit any of the others
  • Rainbow Dash is Sir Lancelot because she's the impulsive, more violent one
  • Fluttershy is Sir Robin
  • Rarity is Sir Not Appearing In This Film because she refused to go on such a dirty, mucky trip
  • Celestia is God and instead of the Holy Grail, they're searching for the Elements of Harmony

I'm not sure who would be the French Knights and some of the other characters, though.

^^^ Whatever. Just get me more of it. I need it for... reasons.

Helmets.

Also, have we made any further progress on deciding how to upload the round robin to fimfiction?

^ Trixie or Sunset could be the French Knight. Only one of them has a speaking roll, after all.

I still had the Princess Bride too much on my mind to make that connection.

Speaking of which, do I get a predictor point for this episode?

Well that's more Princess Bride than the Chimera thing, but close enough I guess.

By the way, is this the first time that someone has expressed a desire to eat ponies? I think it may be.

Oh, neat. Battling a ponyta caused the Game Grumps to discuss MLP today. Spoiler: they have no strong feelings one way or the other.

Well today has been long, stressful, tiring and come home to an episdoe that....

That...

Was meh. Really, it wasn't great but, wasn't that bad either. They just WAY overdid AJ's over protectiveness. For no reason, some nervousness sure but.. really? I mean, if she had come home to AB actually having hurt herself in some way, that might be believable. This? Eh, not really. But the swamp scene was great and... they actually went for straight up "I'm going to eat you!?" Why couldn't they have shown AB getting hurt somehow earlier? Nothing MAJOR, just, enough to freak AJ out.

The most meh episode of the season for me. Not bad, but not really good either.
