[video=youtube_share;IWrWAy7bX5A]http://youtu.be/IWrWAy7bX5A?list=FL1fMVSV5ICpGBOZqBNSi3iA[/video] This video is a pretty well thought out rant video explaining why he thinks DBZ after the Trunks saga is garbage and I recommend watching the entire thing before commenting. It's a pretty good video imo.

He nitpicks too much for me. I kinda see where he is coming from but this stuff that he talks about doesn't bother me much.
1- It's not about it's physics, but about the power levels. Yes, dbz was very inconsistent about destructive power, speed, strength, etc. But that's something that is not at all restricted to dbz. Naruto itself was inconsistent many times, the entire marvel universe as well. And the thing about destructive powers, people just don't know how to write about it. They want to show the characters' powers, but they don't wanna harm anything else. So they just assume that foccused energy can get you away from those problems.
2- Seriously? Frieza's mechanical limbs and the android's creation are entirely different, there is no comparison between the 2. Stupid AF.
3- Yes, technique was forgotten. That was dissapointing indeed. It tends to happen when people start to write characters with that much power.
4- I suppose they could've just foccused on the character getting stronger. But transformations don't make the fight bad simply by being there. But yes, there were too many transformations.
5- Yes, that was a bit dissapointing as well. But it isn't a big problem. It's the the whole "main character overpowers the side characters gigantictly.
6- Buu and cell are compltelly different characters. Their "power ups" might be similar to an extend, but their characteristics? No, not at all. And their sagas are very different as well.
7- Yes.
8- Yes
9 - Majin vegeta and the ending of the buu saga were major character development for vegeta. You must be an idiot not to realise that.
10- Gohan's character was screwed indeed.
11- Different situations, different power ups. 1- That's a namekian spell, the same thing happened to f*cking krillin. 2- Gohan's inner anger, he's more emotional being half human, his anger was the potential to reach a power beyond ssj. 3- A supreme kai spell.
12- Only for goten and trunks.
13- Vegeta didn't cause buu to transform. He thought it would revert him to thin buu. As for the rest, vegeta was, at that point, extremelly over confident and arrogant. It would be inconsistent to write him doing anything else. The same for cell. He wanted to fully test his powers. He wanted a worthy oponent.
14/15- So is naruto. Also goku wants to be prepared for the most powerful enemies ever. You never know what is going to come after seeing so many aliens. That's why he always want to fight the oponents, so he can get stronger and be prepared. For the androids, goku had a contingency plan(RoSaT), for cell, another plan, for buu, 2 plans. Also, if he turned ssj3 on the fight against vegeta, babidi would have colected the energy even faster. Goku wants to be prepared. but he always have a back up plan when he wants to let the fight happen.
Conclusion: Most of the guy's points were nothing more than stupid rage and lack of a colder analysis. And you, OP, feel for it.
