[QUOTE=Siriel;4641031]Toyotaro's writing is not Toei's (thankfully for the anime). Manga #17 is much weaker than anime #17.
Well, everything is much weaker in the manga, but I'm talking relative to the rest of their respective casts.[/QUOTE]
I went and flicked through the most recent chapter of the DBS manga. No joke, legit thing that happened.
Jako: Some crazy villain is coming who can duplicate your powers exactly if he grabs your neck.
Piccolo: Watch out for the neck grab, gotcha.
*Villain shows up and immediately grabs Piccolo by the neck*
Me: O_____o

Not gonna go and judge the movie but....but....I wish they made Diesel look like Bloodshot. At least a little. Hell, he probably wanted to. Maybe they will by the end though or simething.

That's pretty much par for the course for Toyotaro.
My favourite part personally was when Goku and Vegeta slowly got drained of their energy to the point they couldn't transform anymore, without noticing it was happening. Because apparently they're less self-aware than Yamcha after getting a hole stabbed into him by Gero, and didn't notice that the other was getting weaker either.

Eh, some competence issues aside, this arc of the Manga has been great overall

I've never really been a fan of Star Wars, but these new movies haven't done anything for me. The only one I really liked was Rogue One, which has become my favorite. I'll probably skip this new one coming up.

I liked Awakening, but partly as a funny middle finger to George Lucas by doing a New Hope but better.
Rogue One is my favorite Star Wars movie of all time.
Haven't seen Solo yet, though I hear it's a bit underrated.
The Last Jedi, intellectually disappointing though it is to say this due to the movie's bravery, can go burn in a dumpster.
Disney has a big shakeup in its Star Wars team, so I'm retaining an open mind. Don't know if I'll go see it in opening day, but I'll at least be asking those who do watch it.

Looks fun if nothing else. I enjoyed both The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi quite a bit so I'm rather excited for this.
[QUOTE=Jcogginsa;4641982]Eh, some competence issues aside, this arc of the Manga has been great overall[/QUOTE]
I wouldn't say great personally.
Moro has a cool design and I was really hoping for some funky Janemba style powers to throw our heroes off balance when they said he had magic powers. But he just went with the basic ass energy drain tactic and now he's just another powerhouse enemy.
And the Grand Kaioshin being able to take control of Buu's body kinda came out of nowhere, even if it was neat to see Buu be relevant again.
Depending on how it the current situation develops it could be nice to see the rest of the cast win some fights before they inevitably have to be saved by Goku and Vegeta.
What I'm saying is that there are ups and downs to the whole arc.

As long as I get to see Palpatine's butt-forehead, I'll be happy. Not likely to see it in the theaters though, cuz I've got more important things to do like sleep; and complain about the kids nowadays with their newfangled reboots.

Well, the reviews from surprise screenings of Terminator 3 are in and it's seems like Cameron truly was what the series needed to get back on track. Critical response so far is positive and comparing it favorably to T2. Can't wait to see it in theaters in November.

i..........don't feel anything for this new trailer. just some nostaliga pop and a few nice shots. i have no clue as to the story or anything relevant.
all it does is make me appreciate the prequel movies more.

JJ used to be such a excited star wars fan. he would always sing the theme and put on his star wars curtain as a cape. now.........he looks so dead when he talks about the new movies.

Eh, agree to disagree. Even if I was in the camp of those who hate the new Disney Star Wars, that wouldn't alter my opinion about the prequel movies(which is that they're crap).
