Spoony the Pussy One: Life is in the Render Queue

[Guest]

He's as much of a villain as Picollo was after his first appearance

Not really. Piccolo softened considerably whereas Vegeta remained an asshole who caused a lot of the gang's problems more than anything. He told Freeza to transform (when he could have beaten him in his base form), he let the Androids get activated, he let Cell achieve his perfect form and he caused Majin Buu to be revived.

I always thought his name was Pickle-Oh. Because he's green like a pickle.

If you write it like this, it's almost as if Toriyama was just repeating plot beats over and over again because he didn't give a shit.

It's not like Kakarott is any less one-dimensional, being essentially this meme

In a couple interviews with other manga creators, like the guy who made Zetman, he has admitted he just bullshitted his way through.
So it's a miracle in and of itself in how it's as coherent as it is.
I'm guessing since the subject changed, Spoony hasn't died yet?
Fuck... I bet a dude some serious money he'd die by the end of the year.

Spoonys never die!

Also eh maybe Wan Pan Man was not the worst, it just seemed that for a while every normie was watching it, just like Nar'to and Attack on Titan.

It was mainly because

• It was new and hip
• It was short enough to binge
• It had enough capeshit in it that you didn't need to know too much about shounenshit to enjoy it
• It was not shite
• Sexy psychics who look 14 at most but are totally 28 are sexy

Who still likes Goku as a character? I've hated him pretty much the entire series, yet I keep watching.

12 year olds basically, if any of them are still watch dragon ball. I remember liking Goku, when I was 12.

Real anime aficionados learn to appreciate the more nuanced characters. Like Yamcha.
