I mean.

I thought Toei having terrible writing and characterization was a given. tongue

Also, I mean. Animation as a medium involves competent animation. Writing as a medium involves competent writing. Grammar. Spelling. Sentence structure.

Like. Does the plot of Return of Cooler have redeeming characteristics.

Like, beyond not being part of the Broly trilogy.

I mean.

I'm genuinely curious.

How is Toei significantly better than bad fan fiction.

Like, what's the batting average.

Toei's characters are, for better or worse, far more memorable than your typical fanfic OC. That alone makes them superior in my opinion.

[up]Some of it (like Janemba or Hirudegarn) is that but Broly, arguably the most memorable Toei character, is known for far more than just his design (again, for better or worse).

Bad fanfiction has essentially no limits. If we really want to go down that rabbit hole, it's offensively bad to Toei's mostly mediocre.

Until Toei produce their own How Videl Discovered Her Abortion fetish it's really not right to compare them to trollfic.

[up][up][up] I mean, wasn't that basically the Baby arc of GT?

Somebody discovered their abortion fetish during that saga.

The way Baby describes being evicted from Trunks's body, I think he actually discovered his Being Aborted fetish.

He's literally a parasitic organism named Baby that takes over the bodies of others.

Like, that's not even subtext. That's all just text.

A lot of abortions are chemical, like the sacred divine water.

I feel like Saiga might be on a watch list if he actually searched for that.
