The only thing I ever liked about DBZ was when that one guy would put his hands together ago "Hawaiian Kiiiiiiing!"
That was great.
Otherwise, the show was stupid. No offense, but it was pretty much
"Let's have BBQ!"
"Okay, why not"
"Hey, I'm a villain, and YOU MUST DIE hahahah"
fight
fight
fight
fight
"throw a super fireball, because fighting isn't working"
throws superfireball
huge crater, but badguy comes out unscathed.
fight
fight
fight
now the goodguys are all beaten up and bleeding
"This calls for desperate measures. I know/now remember X, which is an ancient technique/something I just remembered that will destroy badguy forever."
they use X
badguy dies
"Yay, we did it. Why we didn't do that before, I don't know. No matter, let's eat BBQ."
Next episode
"Man, that BBQ was fun."
"Yeah, sure was."
"Hahahhaha, I am the bad guy from the last episode and you haven't killed me."
rinse and repeat
Maybe those are just the episodes I've seen, and they all happened to be a deviation from the norm. Either way, I've never thought highly of Dragon Ball
