That's at least a three times multiplicative screw up.

This offends me on a personal level and I'm going to write AT LEAST three pages calling you and three unrelated people shit at math.

The reason no-one went off on their own is because they generally defer to Goku.

Also given the number of Androids Gero made, who knows how "unprepared" he would have been if it was just Kuririn or someone trying to kill him?

[up] But three times seven is twenty-one, you abysmal failure

I mean, the thing is. Android 8 couldn't take Frieza-Saga Krillin.

Gero might not have had time to activate anything if Krillin bisected his front door and the entire mountain with a kienzan.

16 was a pacifist.

Androids 9 through 12 are unaccounted for in basically all media.

I said "AT LEAST", so it's not meant to be me saying it's fully three-times, but close to three times.

Guess you aren't the Pope of Mathenomics, eh?

They're encountered for in the manga. They were considered failures for "various reasons" which is too vague to say either way. And we don't even know when 17 through 20 were completed, but we do know that 17 and 18 were completed some time before they were considered "ready" due to the behavior issues.

Besides, now you're assuming Kuririn is going to behave in a way he doesn't.

[up] That's... that's not what at least means. That means it would have to be 3 times the error or more and it definitely ain't more

Krillin might do things how Bulma told him to if she were calling the shots.

Each video has been getting longer as we've been getting closer to numero uno. Not sure how I'm going to feel about 10 minutes of gushing about Frieza.

unnoun, you got a bad habt of confusing fanon with canon.

The only things I can really thing about in that regard is the detonator business and the stuff about Dende's Shenron only having two wishes. Both of which are fairly inconsequential in the grand scheme of things.

I mean, I know it's fanon.

Still think it's a neat what-if idea.

[up][up] Most of their characterizations are more accurate to fanon than exaggerated canon counterparts.

...Also, given the Dragon Ball AF guy is working on Super's manga, and Toei is, well, Toei.

If I wanted to be cheeky I might ask whether there was actually a difference anymore.

Like. It might take actual effort to find fan works that are actively worse than what Toei has released officially.

Not a lot of fandoms can claim that.

[up] No, there's a clear difference, even nowadays. What happens now doesn't invalidate what's already there.

I mean.

Even troll fic, with grammar and spelling mistakes all over, would not display significantly less competence in their respective medium than Return of Cooler's shitty animation.

Yup.

Wait what....

Hold on. I think you mean accounted for Saiga.

You've made a mistake... but since it's Christmas, I'll let it go.

Damn. This close to the de-poping.

Remember that. This close if not for my bountiful Christmas Spirit.

yeah, accounted for

There's a reason I decided to pursue my accounting degree over the creative writing one

that reason was the money but still

Also, I have to say, terrible animation really isn't really as a big a deal as terrible writing or characterization.

The same way good animation/graphics can't redeem a pile of shit.

Terrible animation doesn't help...peeps like having something nice to look at.

Stoop bias.
