Anyone-else think that...

...the anime writers used Zenō as a stand-in for children who watch DragonBall Super? I mean it's so obvious and cringey. You can see Zenō saying that everything is so kewl and amazing and interesting and fun. Then there's also them trying to cringe-ly imitate one of the fighters in the anime I forgot who it was. You know like children would imitate something kewl they saw on TV. They basically tried to use Zenō as a way for children to think the same way. When Zenō says something is awesome, the children watching the show will likely think the same.

It was cringe.

Zeno is a cute figure. But yeah, I think it's possible.

 

[Fantastische Hure]

Actually they did the imitating thing more than once. There was another time as-well. The one before was much more obvious because Zenō tried to imitate the poses.

It's somewhat funny at least.

 

[Fantastische Hure]

I didn't really find it funny, like I said cringe seems to be the best term to describe it.

 

[ahill1]

I also felt there was something off when watching GT... It hadn't the same DB feel attached to it. But at least I could feel some nostalgic feelings deep inside.

Because in DragonBall GT the characters seem to actually grow and evolve. There is a sense of "meng, that's so long ago" if you watch that like meng years have gone by since the Cell Saga. Everyone's older now and Goku's becoming old. The end of the series is obvious enough, where-as DB-Super is what-ever.

The atmosphere is also different. GT has a kinda dark, obscure animation...Super has a happy go luck animation, while DB seems to be stacked in a middle term.

The entirety of Super is pure cringe... although I agree that Zeno is fucking retarded.

In Super it seems like every character went backwards instead of forwards.

 

[Fantastische Hure]

Yeah, most of them seem flanderized. It's like Toei heard about AT telling them that the Goku from the anime was too heroic and then did a 360 100x over to the point Goku knows nothing.

 

[SSJ2]

I’d rather have a non accurate “heroic” Goku compared to the abomination of his character in Super..

 

[Let's Go Fearless!]

I've always thought that he's just DB's Doreamon lol. Also
:fearless

 

[Mystic]

So Zeno is basically the toei equivalent of "Please Clap"

 

[Let's Go Fearless!]

Hence there's a theory that Grand Priest is the one who is pulling the strings.

 

[Fantastische Hure]

Yeah, basically. If Zenō says woah look Goku changed again (UI) he looks so kewl that's code for "plz ask your parents to buy you the new ui goku figure that'll be coming-out soon."

 

[Let's Go Fearless!]

Zeno is seems like a character to pander more kids. It's lame but it is what it is.

 

[Fantastische Hure]

Seemed to work for you.
