Damn.

Vegeta can sure get down. Then again we knew this already.

But the thing is. Like, so many people seem so po-faced and serious and fanboyish about Vegeta a lot of the time, that I feel the reminder that he is, at least some of the time, a giant, immature whiny manchild is necessary.

Around here? Not so much. He's enough of a Base Breaker that the other side of the spectrum include those who take those exaggerated

Can you really say it's necessary when it's frequently unprovoked, or provoked by someone trying to offer a more middle-ground opinion?

...Geez, tell me how you really feel.

I mean, normally you're one of the ones that's mostly nice to me.

That was out of line and I'm sorry. I find it very frustrating when people act like jokes in purely text form should be obvious when they frequently aren't.

So, uh...did we reach a decision on whether Toei can beat up fanfiction? 'Cause man, that was a downright surreal topic to wake up to.

They didn't really say anything particularly unexpected, but it did seem like they were downplaying Cell and Buu there a bit. Saying Cell's ambitions ended with Earth and Buu was only responsible for the destruction of a handful of planets seems like intentional misunderstanding what was actually at stake and transpired.

I'm not surprised they did. Freeza had to played up in some way.

I mean, the thing is Cell and Buu probably would have fucked up a bunch of things, but they didn't because they lost.

Frieza started out already owning half the universe by the time we met him.

There's. Kinda a difference there.

Yeah, the stakes were high, but that's all they were. Stakes.

[up][up]I don't think that's the distinction they were making, though.

[up][up]I think that was exactly the distinction they were making, because it's literally what they said word-for-word.

[up]No it isn't. I'm the kind of guy who doesn't like people using the term word-for-word or the word literally if they don't actually mean literally.

And, frankly, Frieza owning a bunch of planets doesn't mean much because the heroes never really care. No one is ever interested in destroying Frieza's empire and liberating everyone under his thumb. They're interested in getting away from him alive, and when Goku defeats him, leaving him to do whatever so long as he doesn't bother them again.

[up][up][up][up] Well, the fact that he does have that much influence is what causes the scope to expand so much, and has a pretty big hand in the backstory.

Now, on one hand, I don't know if they really went into that here, though I do think that they did allude to how he has a much greater influence on the verse than Cell or Buu.

That being said...

You know, even though Freeza is not my favorite DB villain, I do have to say he probably is the most evil one.

And that's compared to someone who was literally the Devil.

[up][up]No.

[up][up][up][up]It's good for backstory, but seeing as his empire only comes up again for Resurrection of F, how many years after he's been dead, I'm going to say no on it really mattering all that much beyond that.

I mean, it's a good tool to build up menace, but I wouldn't make it out to be more than that.
