Fuck, this special was great. Really liked Garlic Junior, almost upset they didn't do the Garlic Jnr arc proper.
Also just in regards to this
, Goku at least cares. When Oob tells him about how he needed to win the tournament for his village, Goku tells Oob that Satan will take care of his village financially. Also, Satan's apparently richer than Bulma.
And the Dragon Balls were already used to create world peace before the series began, that's why they have a world king. The only way to make it more peaceful would be to rob everyone of their free will, but then the evil people weren't brought back to life after the Boo arc anyway.
So the only question is why they didn't use the Dragon Balls to solve world hunger, which is a legitimate question, and the answer is the fandom would toss a hissy fit over the heroes using the Dragon Balls for good.
His minions do the same thing, it's just a thing his race has.

"I wish to end world hunger" is unusably vague at best, and dangerously vague at worst, though.
I have a message from another time...Yeah, but Shenron's not really into the Jackass Genie thing. See: Not fucking up Piccolo's vague wish for "youth".
Well, ignoring Battle of Gods, where Shenron fucks up the exact same wish.
Also, as I mentioned in the Hellsing thread, they're working on a new project. They aired the still-rough pilot in the 18+ panel after airing HA #4.
It's their own Attack on Titan Abridged.

Right, he wouln't be the one to interpret it maliciously, but that sort of wish needs to get more specific so that Shenron has anything to go on. Do you want him to make a lot of food, rework people to need less food, increse the capacity of plants to grow food, fix some of the planet's economic structure to get food to the people who need it, etc..
That's what I meant by "unusably" vague.

I have a message from another time...If anything, Daimao would be the one person he'd want to fuck up for. Would have saved his life.
What I'm saying is, that ignoring Bo G's plothole, Shenron doesn't need specific.

Just got around to watching this, since I've been busy literally all day.
It was great. I'm glad they decided to redo this one (Though I do like the nod to the original, with "What a douchebag..."). I guess we'll be getting the second movie as well at some point.
Garlic and his minions were great. Especially Ginger.
And I loved Nappa's "You're gonna go far in this business!"

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!No, 'cause I think it was specifically mentioned that only Namekians from a certain clan had the power to make Dragon balls.
My various fanfics.To be fair, while it's true that Garlic Jr. must have been a raging idiot to summon the only thing that could defeat him, we already knew he was an idiot from his plan.
- Step one: Murder Kami.
- Step two: use the Dragon Balls.
The stupidity of this plan is even called out in the Abridged Movie.
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.I guess they figured taking the kid was easier than taking his hat.
Long live Cinematech. FC:0259-0435-4987That's true, but making Dragon Balls from scratch is apparently difficult. Both Dende and Muuri took over an existing set because it takes... a long time (can't remember the exact figure) to create a new set.
You know, every time I see Namekian/Whatever OCs in fanfiction I have to wonder if the Namekian parent gave the other parent a blowjob. It'd almost make sense.

It's from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
