  1. Beerus should be at the level of power that merely blinking his eyes would destroy the entire solar system. Power scaling in later episodes of DBZ, and throughout the entirety of both GT and Super are an utter joke. Remember, someone with a power level as low as Raditz (around 1,500 iirc) could easily destroy the Earth. Little Kid Goku at the beginning of the series who could barely lift a car was around a power level of 20-40. Tao Pai Pai who could do THIS and THIS has a mere power level of approximately 150-300. The insane jump in power between such low numbers insinuates that someone with a power level in the trillions is a near God-like entity that can destroy galaxies with a flick of their finger. Any time a single Z-Fighter throws a punch at an enemy, the entire planet (at bare least) should explode.
  2. Wow, that is quite excessive levels of hate toward the system that laid down the groundwork for all 3D platforming games thereafter. The analogue stick was quite a gaming revolution, albeit not the first place to implement such control mechanisms (looking at you p.c.). I am not attempting to tell you that your views on the N64 are wrong, but please lend me your ear for a moment. There were quite a few gems on the N64: Super Mario 64, Banjo Kazooie, Diddy Kong Racing, Mario Kart 64, Super Smash Bros., and F- Zero X to name just a few that come to mind. Granted, the controller was pretty awful, but, come on, it isn't anywhere in the vicinity of terribleness as the original Wiimote & Nunchuk. Merely thinking back to my early days with the Wii gives me shivers down my spine at the horrendously dodgy motion controls. At least Nintendo eventually mollified the design shortcomings of the Wiimote with the Wii Motion Plus enabled controllers several years later. But regardless, back to the N64. The system certainly was revolutionary, but it is by no means the "best video game console of all time". Anyone who truly believes that must be delusional. The Ps2, Gamecube, SNES, Dreamcast, Genesis, Xbox 360, and Ps4 are all far superior in my humble opinion. I do believe that Diddy Kong Racing is by far the best single player campaign in a racing game to date (dare I say even better than Forza Horizon 3). The same goes for Mario Kart 64 and its incredible Battle mode. While I wouldn't say everything made by Nintendo since the N64 was a "step down", I would have to concede everything from the Gamecube and on was most assuredly an objective step down in quality. The Wii U was a step up from the abysmal Wii, of course, but not by enough, if you ask me. Obviously the Wii was better for soccer moms, and the like, but I am talking about the gamers who actually care about quality titles, not merely waving their arms in the air like they just don't care. Keep in mind, the following graph is merely my own opinion: GCN\ SNES\ / \ / \ / \ NES/ \ / \ N64 \ Switch \ Wii U/ \ / Wii/
  3. I would incite a revolution. https://youtu.be/XpH-SmtnOqI?t=3m2s
  4. There is something about the elongated faces of real life horses that really, really bothers me. I find it unsettling for some reason rofl!
  5. I think horses in real life are just about the scariest most demonic-looking creatures in existence, while the ponies from the show are far more aesthetically pleasing to me, personally.
  6. Dragon Ball Super is a literal slap in the face to any true Dragon Ball fan. Fans of the original DB or DBZ series used to use the GT spin-off as their old whipping boy... but to be honest, GT makes Super look like complete garbage. At least with GT there was effort by the animators and creativity with the transformations. I would greatly prefer something actually "badass" like SSJ4 with all its awe-inspiring wonder as opposed to DeviantArt- esque recolors any day of the week. Another thing I feel obligated to mention. While the Dragon Ball franchise has always been known for its humor since the manga's very inception, Dragon Ball Super shows a reluctance to go without humor for more than a few seconds at a time. It's like, everything is a gag in that show; next to nothing is taken 100% seriously. This is in stark contrast to DBZ as the very tangible threats posed by the villains created such a feeling of tension and the characters only helped cement the illusion that "everything could indeed be on the line". Of course, as viewers, we are fully aware that Goku & co. have plot armor and will likely come out on top no matter the opposition. However, the suspension of disbelief associated with the older more serious tone of DBZ helped perpetuate the illusion that the Z-Fighters could lose at pretty much any moment. In Super, pretty much all this tension is gone, and it makes the watching experience feel extremely boring, at least for me and many of my fellow detractors of DBS.
  7. I would be perfectly fine if the show was to end with season 8. I certainly would prefer for the show to end on a high note instead of degenerating into mediocrity like so many others before it. This being said, if the writers can keep up the incredible work they have put into seasons 4, 5, and 6, I see no reason why the show should not continue on for several more seasons. 10 seasons would be a nice, round number to end on. It has an air of importance about it. That would be my preference; anything in excess of 10 seasons total is milking it a bit too far in my honest opinion.
  8. The Legend of Zelda franchise of videogames does not count as an RPG series since the most important aspect of RPG gameplay mechanics, ergo the ability to level up and increase statistic elements, is completely absent.
