So Kaiser actually replied to my comments personally on reddit.

Granted it was a lot of "Wait and see" and "You're really mean" but it was really weird.

[up][up] the issue people are taking issue with is Dende's mental fantasy about Gohan.

That's not a mental image I needed.

Children doing drugs and fantasizing about other children is a bit of a hard sell.

These kinds of Black Comedy would work out much better if TFS was entirely black comedy and didn't try to play things seriously/dramatically at other points.

Dende fantasizing about Gohan was weird, but I found the weed joke funny

Guess I just don't take this series as seriously as some do.

The weed joke I can let pass due to its timing making it legit funny.

I mean, our Piccolo was only 3 years old when he fought Goku the first time. So.

And, like, I'm not. 100% sure. How much continuity of memory there was between Piccolo Sr. and Majunior.

Like. I feel like it was mentioned that Piccolo II mostly got a lot of Piccolo I's telling him to kill Goku over and over. I dunno if that was the extent of it or not though.

The Dende jokes don't upset me, or strike me as out of place. I just can't remember the last time I found one involving Gohan funny.

Eh. I thought the episode was pretty good. None of the jokes really bombed for me while what was funny was pretty darn funny. I can't get bent out of shape about any of it.

I don't get why Cell blew up the ring, or why Mr. Satan suddenly grew ten feet tall.

[up] First part, Cell wanted a full on fight without having to worry about going out of bounds. Second, he's Satan. He can be whatever height he damn well wants. Hail Satan!

Yeah, the ring was really just an excuse; a framing device for the fight he wanted to have with Goku (and anyone else strong enough, but let's be honest; he wanted Goku).

Once the fight got going, he decided to cut all pretenses about this being anything but a full-blown duel to the death. Blowing up the ring was a symbolic gesture, more than anything.

Okay, so looking at Kaiser's comments in the TFS sub, he gives an opinion on Goku's parenting (he said Goku is not a bad parent but he's definitely lackluster) and says that the next episode, per usual, will expand on his reasoning.

Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?

The thing about DBZ is that most of the characters are somewhere between indifferent and bad parents. The characters that I'd count as actually being good parents are Krillin/18 and Gohan/Videl.

Out of all the parents in the series, I think Cell is worse than Goku.

Piccolo Sr too.

We don't know enough of King Cold to say. Apparently he "got dust" on Frieza once, but. Like, that could be literal. Frieza wouldn't clean his room, so Cold dusted it for him.

...Also, I mean. On 18/Krillin, apparently Marron was raised in Kame House around Roshi until the age of 3. So. That's a thing.

Even ignoring Roshi himself, there's a higher than average chance of being buried alive in porn mags.

Still not as bad as Ging Freecs, who basically IS what everyone says in how goku is a bad parent instead of Goku himself.

Yeah, Ging was pretty upfront about not being a decent guy who was not cut out to be a father.

I hope they'll make Goku like really smug when Gohan starts beating up Cell.

Wait, you're not implying what I think you're implying, are you?

I mean, Roshi's a scumbag, but he's not a monster.

I mean.

I honestly don't know.

Like, I seem to recall a "joke" (?) about him creeping on Chichi when she was 12, and he's definitely not above it once she's an adult, even though she's as much the child of his student as Marron. So.

...I definitely know Roshi made a joke about Chichi's lack of chichis.

See, I'm less concerned about the fact that she's a child of one of his students, and more concerned about the fact that she's a baby/toddler (or at least she was when Roshi was living with her).

I doubt even Roshi would go so far as to make a move on an infant.

I like to think he's not that much of a monster.
