Dragon Ball Z Abridged

Would it be racist to call King Furry a son of a bitch? There's so many questions about inter-species government and society in Dragon Ball world.

Like if the Tournament Announcer called a particularly violent opponent an "animal" well like that could offend half of the audience right there. Some of the contestants were wolves and pterodactyls. And as far as anyone knew at the time Goku actually was part-monkey. Yamcha outright bases his entire fighting style around wolves.

This and more at eleven.

At best you're insulting his mother.

IIRC, supplemental materials/interviews revealed that dinosaurs still existing and the entire world being under the rule of a single nation were both the product of Shenron wishes.

I don't know if Shenron is responsible for the animal-people, though.

[up]x2 Well, "bitch" is actually a pretty accurate description of a mother dog.

I mean, it's like when you say "ass" but in reference to donkeys so it's not swearing.

Wait, is the Wolf Fang Fist cultural appropriation? Wait a minute, wasn't there literally a wolf martial artist who Yamcha fought in the preliminaries of the 21 Tenkaichi Budokai, who called Yamcha out for using wolf imagery while not actually being a wolf?

Even worse is that Yamcha beats that guy too. Granted, I think it was his last solo win ever.

Oh so that's why Beerus thought he wiped out the Dinosaurs despite that very clearly not being the case.

Why did we not get to see Shadow Dragons born from the wishes to bring back the dinosaurs or put a dog in the monarchy?

Cause those wishes were made back when the balls weren't used literally every year.

He wins other matches to qualify for tournaments, so his last solo win would be the 23 tournament.

Eh, he trounced that Saibaman until it decided to pull a Cell on him.

To say nothing of Dead Filler Yamcha, taking on first the Ginyu Force, then contestants in the Other World Tournament.

In terms of DBZA, two main annoucements. They ain’t doing Bojack, because fuck that movie, and the annoucement of Dragon Short Z.

This must've been toooo difficult.

That's disappointing.

So I'm guessing Bojack got retroactively dumped all the way into the bottom of the Christmas list?

Funny, I don't remember the movie being bad. Definitely need to rewatch to refresh my memory.

That said, the Shortz idea is nice.

Probably has the same issues as Cooler 2?

I was kinda dreading them treading a certain horse man who, back in the 90s, used to be a famous movie star.

I mean, I love Bojack in a weird "blank stare after a binge for a few days" kind of way but treading that would be so predictable. And I rather they move on to something else if it feels like said script is making them too frustrated to make it work.

[up]x3 Well aside technical issues and trying to figure out how to make the story fit in the mess that is Cooler 2, at least Cooler is a more interesting character who has a connection with the cast in some way (evil space emperor's older brother), Bojack is just there.

There's been some primo grade entitlement in those reactions to the announcement. Not gonna lie.
