i dont think Trunks got the publicity he deserved!

!!! yes!!!!

i hated him as a kid, but he was kick-ass as an adult.
sure there was that movie about teen trunks, but that wasn't good enough for some of his potential.

DBZ was great when I was a little kid, but in retropect it's hilariously stupid. The rediculously overdone fight scenes with about 3% seeable action 20% HUGE explosion 20% fighting as blurred lines and 57% dialogue. I liked the fighting of original dragonball better. At least there, none of the fighters were ridiculously OP and imba like they are in DBZ and GT.

If you like DB then talk DB. This thread covers all bases.

And the while all your statements are at least somewhat correct, DB and DBZ defined a genre.

I'm not really dissing it, like i said DBZ along with pokemon defined my life as a little kid, I just explode with laughter everytime I see it now, kinda like watching those old school black and white cartoons. I bet some American's grand parents were awed by Popeye, I personally think it's rather overdone .

at any rate Dragonball was the place to be, and very early DBZ before Frieza. That was the point where it still took them time to charge up their energy attacks and they didn't move at the speed of light so we could actually see what they were doing. though i must admit, I almost crapped my pants at how awesome it was when Goku went super sayan for the first time.
