Don't think he felt the need to. He was astonished that his spawn could fail in battle, begrudgingly having to clean up their mess.

Generally, shows that focus on being intellectually stimulating would be considered as having rich writing (aka, being well-written). What I like about powerscaling is that there are more opportunities for objective analysis. While writing quality seems like more of a grey area. For example...

When something has the ability to: (A) be used as reference (B) produce ideas, with or without (A) - this leads to all sorts of discussions. Within any given entertainment content, there's bound to be differences in how people approach content. I think a disconnect usually occurs when someone...

@Sovran Nila Thanks for elaborating. That reinforces we aren't dealing with literality with these naming conventions. Another example would be Black "Star" Dragon Balls having no association with stars beyond name.

During your watch, would you say any of the below factors stood out to you or was consciously (or subconsciously) thought about more than other factors? - Character Writing - Storytelling - Powerscaling - Visuals From what I can gather, you enjoy broad trivia-style Dragon Ball chat. Beyond...

The Big Gete Star wasn't a star in the cosmological sense. I haven't seen "Dark Star" referenced in the franchise. 10^24 stars is a figure often cited from astronomers' estimates for the observable universe. This could act as a ball park range for Dragon Ball's mortal universe (one of multiple...

Shin Kikoho vs Cell is such a strange instance overall. We are to believe Cell couldn't do anything to overcome the spam besides outlasting a spent Tien? He took no damage, but it makes you think.

Possibly the Tuffles. Although their legacy as a collective was their technological advancements above all else in the end (besides getting wiped out by the Saiyans).

Sick Goku was a shell of his standard Super Saiyan self, PL-wise. Just being in the form was said to make the condition worse. But he scaled back to normal after the bedridden / antidote period.

I think that's what you generally see from fiction. It builds hype for potential fights and training arcs. Sometimes, the 'local' characters are also aligned with that thought process. For example, Goku has shown excitement over fighting people that are perceived to be of a higher plane or from...

During the snippet that we saw, yes. Roshi used it as a teaching tool; given that Goku appeared to be struggling, it seems logical for Roshi to have demonstrated how it would be done more accurately, which would explain why he had a book in his hand along with the boys. Poor Goku if he was left...

Roshi read to Goku and Krillin during the study portion of their Turtle School training.

There's no strong link, by the looks of it. Those factors tend to be separated quite a lot actually. I remember GT being criticized for relying on ki blasts in the fight choreography as opposed to technical H2H fighting skills.

I think you gave a fair answer. Interesting to read. Shang both rounds The director describes Shang-Chi as being (or envisions him becoming) Thor/Hulk level. In terms of the movie itself, Shang-Chi (w/ rings) came across like a quasi-Doctor Strange - having a mystical resource that gives him...

@ahill Any matchup you have in mind as a continuation?

Any MCU scalers as of current? If you're unsure of the above matchup, feel free to skip it and start a fresh one.

I think Nila knows it's not a direct quote, but is judging from how he acted around the strongest guys. Dabura was never bothered by any comp until Buu slapped him.

Neither were associated with immortality, just come from a different realm. That's why Zamasu had to use special means [Super DBs] to obtain it.

Immortal: Impervious to injury and time Mortal: Can be effected by the above factors Goku says Vegeta would cease to exist entirely if Kid Buu killed him during his 1 minute stalling plan.

Basically the same confidence we saw from his peer, Cell. It takes getting walloped to bring them down a notch.
