Seriously, being tired of one joke is not hating fun or comedy. Not every joke is going to resonate with everyone, all the time.

Musing on it, part of the reason Popo dunking Vegeta doesn't work as well as its setup did on its own is because it doesn't really follow through on the promise Popo made. Popo promised weird.

Assimilating Blue Popo was weird. Devouring Garlic Jr. was weird. Hitting Vegeta really hard? That's, like, the Tuesday of weirdness. Krillin's done that. Granted, it was Vegeta-assisted, but the point is that it's not that weird to punch the cast punching bag.

It's an uncreative follow-through to a threat that, left to the imagination, was perfectly chilling and that already provoked an appropriately funny reaction by statement alone.

[up][up][up]Whining about other people "whinning". Nice.

I agree that Popo should've gone weirder, and it's a reasonable assumption that he didn't, but we don't actually know that.

We just need a chain of whining so we can harmonize and use that collective energy to destroy the planet.

I don't mind the joke really since popo is becoming less of a threat really. Sure he can knock vegeta and Goku off the tower, but they can just as easily get back up and I don't think he is doing any real damage now.

Only because he's holding back. There's no doubt that Dumplin is that strong.

Obviously his power diminished from lack of training and drugs.

Chi-Chi tried so hard to shape him... a little too hard. How else would Gohan be so zen under all that pressure - and now he's got a wife, a daughter, all the pressures of being a community college professor with bills to pay.

The day Gohan found that weird frog in his backyard changed everything. He kept it, put it in a jar, and never looked back. And being the good husband that he is, he let Videl try some too.

It's an absurd theory but it does explain why she's so mellow in Super.

If I'm not mistaken, we're currently obsessing over a mediocre episode.

It was fine, not one of their best, but it was just a breather episode, and we're probably going to get like one or two more of those, I think.

I do wish they had kept in the Goku releasing his power bit, though.

[up]And that's just your opinion, no need to get defensive about inoffensive statements.

Eh, I wouldn't call it mediocre. While it was a transition episode for all that such entails, it had some great jokes in it. I'd call it a fairly good episode with a couple harsh misses.

[up] I wish they kept in Vegeta's emosplosion. The See-N-Saiyan bit is great, but the actual scene of Vegeta turning into a sobbing 12-year-old boy over the merest mention that Goku surpassed him again is funnier.

[up][up] That's why I said personally, I know that's just my opinion, although looking at it objectivly, it was better recieved then the last episode with a better like to dislike ration on youtube.

Define mediocre.

... because honestly, I'd call it bad... for DBZA. Which still puts it as most definitely "good" in terms of entertainment and "excellent" for an abridged series.

Seriously, TFS has a high standard. But for them, it was a relatively weak episode.

[up][up]And? "Better recieved" doesn't actually mean better, that's why these things are subjective, and means nothing for the individual viewer. And comparing likes and dislikes is definitely not a good way of comparing quality.

There is no metric by which "better" can be defined. As such, people are forced to default to aggregate opinion measurements such as review scores, box office totals, You Tube hits, etc. They may not be perfect, but they're a more accurate method of measuring fandom reaction than the nebulous concept of "better".

Opinions are like assholes. If you want to judge the success of a work, you have to find ways to count them. And sometimes they shit on you in the process.
