Goku doesn't do shit through teamwork tbh. DBZ is all about the power of getting really pissed, not the power of teamwork

Please, give me your energy!
Okay fair but is it really "teamwork" if the other six billion people just had to raise their hands in the air?
Hey man, when I was a kid and I, too wished to share my energy with Goku, it was hard holding my hands up for the seven episodes it took for him to throw it.
they really perfected the soap opera cliffhanger
Sometimes, it was the Z crew themselves after every member, including Goku got their ass kicked, e.g. Broly.
Edit:wrong movies
The Tournament of Power was won through the teamwork of an utterly exhausted Goku, Freeza, and Android 17. That was pretty cool.
Generally, though, yeah. Everyone has such vast differences in power that the bad guy could kill everyone but one or two good guys in his sleep.
teamwork is when you emotionally support a stunted manbaby to go even further beyond
But the stunted manbaby can't even go further beyond he's hardstuck in SSJ2-
Oh you mean Goku, yeah
That stunted manbaby is a grandfather
Isn't that the plot of oppenheimer?
Just generally exerting for a while
Please, just watch One Piece. Maybe I can finally have a conversation in person about it that way
it is too long. Clearly it is much more reasonable for you to watch Legend of the Galactic Heroes...
I was going to make a joke about it being a thousand episodes, but I didn't realize it was literally a thousand episodes

I'm working on it 😭
Or better yet, read one piece and you can read all of it in 2-3 months in a conservative estimate.
I want to talk about my funny pirates comic fooey!!!
my friend watched the entire anime in like 2 weeks. idk how
1000 episodes at 20 mins is 20000 min, which is almost 14 days. So he watched it with no breaks and no sleep for 2 weeks straight.
Probably used One Pace or found a list to skip filler
One Pace is pretty good, and does reduce it a lot, but still, that's way too much anime for two weeks
Probably had to watch it on some weird accelerated playback setting (x1.2, x1.5?). That's the only logical explanation I can think of.
It's happened to several comrades I know online. I suppose if you get hooked on One Piece, you get VERY hooked.
Can attest. Up to ep 431 atm. Show is really bingeable because the cliffhangers hook you and the plot twists REALLY stick.
Tbf it helps alot to use an anime filler list to skip filler, and that each episode is really only about 20 mins long once you skip past the openings and recaps.
finished the manga in two weeks

Also, anime doesn't usually look like blurry shit coated in Vaseline
It does if it's an old series that never got a blu-ray re-release 
I can't prove it but I'm convinced somewhere in Disney/Marvel's documents is a scheme to generate their own rabidly loyal otaku
isn't that what Disney Adults are
It's 1000% the same thing. Even the collections of plastic toys that you just look at.
looks at table covered in mecha models you don't have to call me out like that lol.
at least its not from Latest Media Slop Fad #42069, i have some Special Armored Battalion Dorvack (shitty show, cool power armor, lame transforming mecha, kinda based writing for the 80's) power armor models and Maschinen Krieger models as well (the Strahl Democratic Republic did nothing wrong)
i mostly have gunpla but i also have a scopedog and a few other miscellaneous kits

Never really considered why endgame didn't matter to me, despite me being relatively invested in early marvel (up to avengers) and honestly the answer might probably just be that nothing MCU has done, beats the spirit bomb of dragon ball
I didn't care about Endgame because Infinity War was just so much better. I'm not a huge MCU person anymore, but Infinity War did an amazing job of making Thanos a great villain while Endgame just reveled in the setup that Infinity War had done. Thanos turning Quill's bullets into bubbles, throwing his own daughter off a cliff, reversing time at the end to rip the stone out of red guy's head, the "I don't feel so good Mr. Stark" were all just completely unexpected from a marvel movie. By far the best villain in the MCU films. Endgame though? The movie schedule of the stuff coming out beforehand was essentially spoiling the movie. And Thanos isn't even that threatening when he comes back because he's just raging out and acting completely out of character in the final battle.
I'm in the exact same boat. Avengers Endgame was just missing... something, compared to Dragon Ball. I don't know if it's the charm or the fights or the villain or what. It's not like DB is high art or anything, but it just has an edge over most Marvel stuff.
Maybe I just find it easier to get hyped over Goku, a character with one full contained story that DB follows, over any MCU character that is just a mish-mash of 60 years of comic characterization.
They will deride anime as childish and absurd when they worship a movie whose premise is based on a godlike being that attempts to solve resource scarcity by erasing half the population instead of simply doubling the resources. I never understood how that ridiculous idea made it past the writers' table.
I don’t think his plan is meant to be logical. All the other characters say he’s insane and he’s literally referred to as “the mad titan”. He’s just brain broke. It’s not like fascism in our world is particularly reasonable either.
The writers didn't account for their viewers being dullards with Malthusian fantasies

Well, it seems more like he’s treated as mad because of the violence of the plan, not because it wouldn’t work, in the eyes of the writers.

The problem is that the protagonists don't actually argue against his beliefs. In fact, the protagonists generaly do agree with him that there's too many people in the world hogging up resources, there's offhanded remarks about how nicer the emptier world is.
They just don't like his methods because he's too mean about it and makes people sad in the process.

the comic its based on had him doing it purely to impress the female personification of Death, which honestly makes a lot more sense lol. i hate how they have to make comic books into something 'serious' and 'realistically sci fi' these days.

Goku? Now that's a Brooklyn man if ever I heard it; Goku Barclay or Goku Fulton for sure; let me guess, it's a tale about a boxer? A man with a heart of gold trying to make it in this sick world, up against the man and trying to earn an honest buck.

This but gamers with manhwa
Someone calling themselves Yuuko from Nichijou had top shelf taste and should be paid attention to.
