As SSJ2 challenged me, i'm doing a thread on Super section.

So, every arc of Super (Including movies, anime and manga) will be rated. Here are the rules:
~ One Arc per day
~ Arcs are rated from 0 to 10
~ An analysis must be provided alonside them.

Once the day has passed, I'll tally up the scores to find the Zeta average score and then move on to the next Arc.

First is Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods (Movie 14)

I would probably give BoG a 5/10. Perhaps I'm being generous with this rating due to having feelings of nostalgia about the fandom back then, and simply being so hyped for the first DB content in years. From vague memory, the plot of BoG was really nothing special, but it felt like a pretty fun movie during the first half. The second half was riddled with aids CGI that made it tough to keep up with Goku/Beerus' fight. I enjoyed the design of SSJG at the time due to how different it was, however I was really not a fan of the method required to obtain the form, as well as Shenlong and the Namek book of faggotry seemingly having such precise details on SSJG. The story was fun but lacking, the action was forgettable, and the power scaling seemed retarded, but it was ok.

We already have this thread for the arc ratings http://www.dbzeta.net/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=10466&start=75

However, I guess I can copy-paste the reviews and update them if necessary.


I won't repeat most of the details I did in the movie review, so to keep it short, I'll say that the main positives are introducing a new tier and build up for the series as well as actually having Galu admit defeat, whereas the main negative is Super Saiyan God being so easy to achieve in retrospect, since 6 Saiyans just need to hold hands for one of them to get it. We also can't mention dumb power ups without talking about "MY BULMA!" Vegeta. Whilst I like how it represented his growth and humanisation from his initial character, it comes off in the most poorly written of ways that if anything feels like a disservice to his Boo Arc development.
Another thing that's absolutely plot breaking is the Oracle Fish being one of the biggest plot holes in Super. Prophecy can't exist in a series with multiple timelines, especially not when the prophecy never happened in Trunks' timelines. Time travel doesn't work like that. Also, the existence of Hakaishin retcons the previously established god hierarchy even further than the existence of Kaioshin already did in the Boo Arc.

As for how the Super manga's version compares, it's overall worse than the movie due to just being a rushed work that only offers the highlights of the movie. Beerus' introduction and actions are far blander than in the movie as well. The only positive I'd give it is that Beerus and Galu's Universe level feat was a far better way of conveying how far above everything before them God Ki really is. Overall, it was too rushed to be a solid story, making it inferior to the movie, though both are fairly rushed to the point I'd see giving them different scores to be pointless.

Score - 2/10

Anime-wise, we have enough to call it an actual arc, yet it has the opposite problem in being too drawn out compared to the Battle of Gods movie. Whilst the Beerus VS SSG Galu fight is a lot longer, it's also worse due to asspull power ups (Goku regenerating from the damage Beerus caused him, despite he and Vegeta never displaying this ability against later foes like Black), as well as Goku completely absorbing his SSG power into his SSJ form causing some problems with his use of the form in the ToP. Overall, it's just as bad as the manga version, if not worse.

You can still continue with this one though. After all, some users may want to update their review/rating or may not have gotten the chance to in the previous thread, so a fresh version of that thread is a welcome one.
