I cannot wait for Bio-Broly simply to see what they're going to name it. If they don't give it some kind of silly overly long 70's Exploitation Film name like Broly III: The Revenge of The Undead Alien Clone (With Some Magic, Apparently)! I'll be highly disappointed.

Probably in a day or two...
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.Popping in again to pose an interesting question that's been on my mind after seeing snippets of Krillin and Android 18's interactions on DBZA (the last of which included 18 silently promising to "rock [Krillin's] four-foot world" if they survive... which they obviously will, given the source material): How do you think DBZA would depict their relationship after the post-Androids/Cell Arc Time Skip? Something tells me that Krillin's marriage to 18 (... or maybe she'd change her name back to "Lazuli"?) would spell the end to most if not all of his Butt-Monkey-ness.

Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.Eh, I doubt they're going to be like, "Android 18 was the heavenly grace that fixed Krillin's entire life and made him stop failing so hard!"
Like, the most noteworthy thing he does in the Buu arc is get taken out by Dabura's bodily fluids. If that's not a Krillin Owned, I don't know what is.
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.It might.
At the very least, they'd probably have to create a YAMCHA OWNED count.
Which to be fair, is something I imagine they've wanted to do for a while now.
One Strip! One Strip!There's still AT LEAST three moments of Krillin Owned scenes in the Buu Arc:
1) The Aforementioned Dabura Spit
2) Trying to fight Super Buu in a filler scene only to get one-shot
3) Failing to stop Kid Buu in the Otherworld for a filler scene.
If they choose to use filler anyways, which I mean...I feel like they will because the Buu Arc actually has some really good filler to use, like Dabura in Heaven, the extended Great Saiyaman arc, the Vegito stuff.
Oh, and there's also Broly whacking Krillin after his Big Damn Heroes moment in Second Coming.
By that logic Frieza blowing him up shouldn't have counted either since Frieza took Piccolo down a second before.
The Krillin Owned Count is just Krillin being humilited. How and why it happens is clearly irrevelvant to them.
And literally getting spat on and petrified definitely counts.

Also note that I called it the most noteworthy thing Krillin does.
Piccolo trains Goten and Trunks in the RoSaT, tries to buy time from Super Buu, and helps Gotenks fight Super Buu in what limited capacity he's capable of.
Literally the only thing Krillin does in the arc is get taken out by Dabura's spit. That is his sole contribution to Majin Buu's story. He is as much a part of the Buu arc as Yamcha was of the Saiyan arc.

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.... I wasn't thinking of the Krillin Owned Counter when I made my previous post, actually. More like, general Butt-Monkey-ness, like Krillin not getting any respect for killing all but one of the Saibamen with just one attack (whereas Piccolo — who at the time was still technically a villain who simply had a common enemy with the heroes in Vegeta and Nappa — gets praised for killing the one he missed), or nobody believing him about him getting kissed (on the cheek) by 18, and so on so forth.

Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.Eh, I still wouldn't want anything to really change in that regard. It'd be really shallow of the other characters to abruptly alter their behavior towards Krillin because he married 18. Having everyone give mad props to Krillin for his trophy of a woman-object would pretty much reverse all the goodwill TFS has gotten by treating 18 as an actual person with thoughts and feelings of her own and giving her some agency in her relationship with Krilln.
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.You talk as if that wasn't already the case. Like, 18 didn't look at him after everything was said and done and go "Well, I have nothing better to do, might as well shack up with this midget bald guy". She told him that trying to wish her back to normal and removing her (and 17's) bomb wasn't enough to win her heart but that she did appreciate the gesture.
Even if Toriyama called her "Krillin's reward" that doesn't change that in the actual story she's never actually treated like that and he still has to build up a relationship with her.

Although TFS makes an effort to actually include movie stuff in the series and try to fit the movies in, there's really only so much they can do.
Revenge of Cooler is special in that regard for not just having the same issues fitting in as its original counterpart, but ALSO an added bonus of an Abridged-exclusive continuity hole. Cooler's rationale for sparing Goku's pod retcons the Bardock special where it was simply, "Because I'm a prick!"
