That’s a statement that not only makes no sense, but is directly contradicted multiple times both beige and after the events of Daima. The issue is not fans being “whiny;” the issue is that Toriyama, and the other people who did the writing for him when he wasn’t doing it, never knew how to keep the facts of his own lore straight, because after the Frieza saga, he didn’t care anymore, and the other folks only did it for the money.

Would people please stop acting like Captain Marvel is the MCU powerhouse! The only reason why she was even made to appear that way is because Marvel chose to completely nerf the powers of Hulk and Thor in order to make a woman the strongest member. The same thing was then done with Scarlet Witch a few years later. It’s a decision to appease a social issue, not because of anything to do with the characters themselves. Captain Marvel couldn’t even overpower Thanos until she was grabbing the gauntlet and absorbing the powers of the other Infinity Stones (you see it happen, her aura changes the same way Thanos’s does when he adds Stones to the gauntlet), it had nothing to do with her own power, which also comes from a Stone. If Marvel hadn’t changed the abilities of several characters to make a woman the strongest so they could say “this is for you ladies,” this article wouldn’t even be here. Sentry demolishes her.

Gohan is overrated as is. He became obsolete as a character as soon as Trunks and Goten were introduced, and the series needs to stop going back to him, trying to make him the most powerful. He doesn’t deserve it, and two better characters are waiting in the wings. And he is not the most popular half-saiyan; Trunks has had him beat for decades in popularity.

Toriyama had been phoning it in since the end of the Frieza saga. He couldn’t even keep his lore straight on a simple a subject as to why Trunks and Goten don’t have tails. Toriyama has only been involved because he was receiving a paycheck. After the Buu saga, anyone could have seen that series should have turned back to comedy/adventure and not fighting, as there was nothing more to be gained after the heights of the Buu saga, yet even Toriyama screwed that up by introducing Beerus and the rest of the nonsense that followed. Let’s not pretend that Toriyama barely cared anymore after Frieza, which was his original intended stopping point anyway.

No. Any one of the Infinity Stones alone is more powerful than Eternity in its individual aspect. So Scarlet Witch, as well as Dr Strange and Thanos when they’re using Infinity Stones, are more powerful than Eternity. Loki is a maybe.

This author reveals that they dont understand DragonBall, and use the tired old boomer-esque cop-out explanation of “it’s just supposed to be fun” as an explanation. Stop letting this person write for SR.

Can people stop suggesting Europe, and locations that have already been visited but in a different time? Try the rest of the world. Let’s get that Aztec or Incan AC game. Let’s have WWII in Northern Africa, or better, sub-Saharan Africa during the 17 or 1800s. Branch the hell out.

It’s a multiverse now, any inconsistencies can be chalked up to an individual story taking place in a world like the prime reality that we followed all the way through Endgame, but not actually being part of that reality. This possibility has existed as far back as the first season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. when it was first hinted at.

I fail to see why this author is confused. In every one of Flagg’s solo appearances, ones that he doesn’t share as an enemy of Roland - The Stand, Eyes of the Dragon, etc. - he’s always defeated because his arrogance leads him to think he’s more powerful than he really is. Does this author really not that he couldn’t even tell that Tom Cullen was the third spy because he was unable to psychically track him, that he didn’t know that the Trashcan Man was gonna show up with a nuke? That he didn’t know that Thomas had seen him cause his father’s death by watching him through the titular eyes of the dragon?

This author is forgetting entirely that Flagg’s powers have failed him time after time after time, because in classic villain style, Flagg overestimates his own power, becomes overconfident and arrogant, thinking he’s got things in the bag, when it’s far from it. Flagg thinking that he had the advantage against Mordred and assuming he was shielded against him, instead of observing him and doing some research before confronting him, is Flagg playing to type like always.

Except, what this article describes is not true at all. The “hand of God” does not just come down and set off the nuke. The main characters making their stand against Flagg by not backing down from him even though they are about to get publicly executed causes one of Flagg’s minions to decide to turn against him and he tries to appeal to the crowd to do the same. Flagg then uses one of his dark powers to burn the guy’s face off with a ball of electricity/fire. God then uses this blatant display of supernatural power as a means to interact directly in the mortal world, since it is already a public display of the laws of nature being violated anyway, and He uses Flagg’s own power to detonate the nuclear bomb.

The idea is that, since God in the world of The Stand does not directly act to achieve His goals but influences the mortals to do His bidding, by facing Flagg and making a public stand against him, it triggered a series of events where Flagg would need to use his powers in front of the masses in order maintain control and satisfy his ego that he could cow them into submission. By doing so, and making an overtly supernatural event happen, God was then able to act directly through that without breaking His own rules.

So yes, the main characters do stand against Flagg, and it did matter that they did it in the way they did it, it was just never about them being the ones to defeat Flagg. They just needed to take a stand against him, and God did the rest.

There were very few inconsistencies and/or retcons in OS, and most were just certain scenes from the OG series not being replayed but others around them being shown in more detail, or Dexter dying in a hospital ing wrong. Things like his original trophy, where he got his boat, and Vogel’s absence are not contradicting the original story, because people are making assumptions about what we see in OS means.

As it is, in relation to Spencer, either his remains were just plain not found, or were decayed so much by then that he wasn’t identified before Dexter tampered with the bodies back in the OG series.

Can the people writing these articles please pay attention and think before writing this nonsense?

KamenRider They have both literally done that in every medium. That has never been a valid argument. She is shown to be more violent in a misguided effort to say “oh look, the girl is even tougher than the guys, she’ll be meaner!” That’s all it’s ever been and it’s always a mishandling of the character.

Oh for God’s sake, Wonder Woman doesn’t fight for love, she just loves to fight. Her answer to anything that doesn’t go the way she thinks it should be is to use violence and personal might in order to force things to match her ideals, no different than her male counterparts. She’s no different than them, and can actually be considered more violent and tyrannical than them, and I wish people would stop trying to portray her otherwise.

It’s also exactly why Piccolo knows better than Goku. It’s not a case of hypocrisy from Piccolo; it’s experience that he’s drawing on, while Goku never gave anything other than fighting a second thought.
