“I can’t speak to what they’re going to do. And there’s always, in these movies, a question of ‘a certain point of view,’…But for me, in that moment, Kylo believes it’s the truth. I don’t think he’s purely playing chess. I think that’s what he saw when they touched fingers and that’s what he believes. And when he tells her that in that moment, she believes it. I was thinking, what’s the most powerful answer to that question? Powerful meaning: what’s the hardest thing that Rey could hear? That’s what you’re after with challenging your characters. The easiest thing for Rey and the audience to hear is, Oh yeah, you’re so-and-so’s daughter. That would be wish fulfillment and instantly hand her a place in this story on a silver platter…The hardest thing for her is to hear she’s not going to get that easy answer. Not only that, but Kylo is going to use the fact that you don’t get that answer to try and weaken you so you have to lean on him. You’re going to have to find the strength to stand on your own two feet and define yourself in this story.

Wow, how terrible would that have been if the protagonist of the movie actually had a place in the story.

So...let’s talk about that manga thing..

As most know by now, Chapter 27 of the Dragon Ball Super manga has been released, and fans, particularly the GoChi/Goku fans, have been in an uproar about a particular moment shown in the manga.

This particular moment, has Goku claim that he was neither around for Gohan nor Goten’s births, to which Vegeta replies along the lines of “You might not be a bad guy, but as a father, you’re the worst.”

There are two major reasons why the fans are in an uproar about this:

Goku claims to not have been around for Gohan’s birth.
Vegeta calls Goku the worst father

And you know what? I fully agree with the GoChi/Goku fans, this particular scene is utter bullshit and completely unnecessary. It serves to demonize Goku as a character, which has been an ongoing thing since Super started thanks to Toriyama’s supposed views on Goku. But the fact is, it goes completely against what we know about Goku, it goes completely against everything we have seen and learned about him in the manga. It’s out of character, horribly so.

It has been well known that Toriyama has been forcing his views on Goku in Super, claiming this to be Goku’s true appearance. But you know what? It’s not. Any true fan that has read the manga from start to finish knows this and it is enough reason for me to say that Toriyama really needs to reread his own manga, because he really doesn’t know Goku anymore.

Further more, the common rumor is, that Toyotaro (the manga’s writer) is a huge VegeBul fan…and honestly, this shows. It became more apparent during the scene where Trunks talks to Vegeta about Future Bulma. But the most damning evidence has to be the reunion between Bulma and Vegeta after the heroes return from the future. A reunion that originally belonged to Goku with Goten and Chichi.

As such, it is becoming apparent that theses scenes are done to glorify Vegeta while dumbing down Goku, and it is pointless. It would have been completely fine for Bulma having a heartfelt reunion with Vegeta, in the very same moment where Goku reunites with Chichi and Goten. In fact, it would’ve even looked better that way in my opinion. You don’t need to kick Goku down a flight of stairs in order to make Vegeta look good.

Speaking of which, the anime handled that scene so much better.

In the anime, Vegeta did not want to leave Bulma’s side because Bulla could be born at any moment. It showed progress for Vegeta, it showed that he did not want to fuck up a second time like he had done with Trunks as he was no doubt, not present with Trunks’s birth. Of course there is the moment where Goku shows a lack of care by having him claim that he wasn’t around for Goten’s birth, so Vegeta shouldn’t worry about Bulma getting mad over it. But it can still be excused as Goku’s more typical naivety. While it does dumb him down a bit, it most certainly doesn’t demonize him, nor make him seem like a horrible father. Goku simply has grown accustomed to the fact that Chichi will ultimately forgive him, as she has many times, because she loves him.

The manga however, tries to glorify Vegeta and demonize Goku by having Vegeta claim that he’s the worst father. But you know what? This completely backfires on Vegeta’s side from a fan’s perspective, and ultimately makes both Vegeta and Goku look like asses. Goku, for the aforementioned complaints, and by making Vegeta look like an absolute hypocrite. Because Vegeta is one of the least people you’d look at for a “Father of the Year” award considering the fact that he didn’t give a damn about his son within the first year of the boys life and most likely wasn’t there for his birth. Then followed by giving only a slight damn about Trunks for the following 7 years, up until he finally hugs the boy during the Buu Saga.

Because, while yes, Vegeta was around for those 7 years, it was clear that he spend most time training his ass off and that his interest in Trunks mostly peaked when the Tournament came about because his pride couldn’t possibly accept the fact of his son losing to Goten. Hardly something that one could call a good father, let alone to give him the right to call anyone else the worst father.

So thank you, Toriyama and Toyotaro, for not only making Goku look like an ass, but for making Vegeta look like a hypocritical ass as well. I recommend that you both start rereading the manga, because neither of you have any clear understanding anymore about the characters that you are writing for. Which is even more damning on Toyotaro’s side of things, because he claims he keeps the manga close to him to read through, so that when he writes these chapters, he stays as close to the source material as possible. Sad fact is, he’s been majorly deviating from said source material. Something of which I’m sure others like @dbzebra or @kairi-yajuu will completely agree with.

Honestly, to me, this scene is more damning than that damn kiss debacle.

You 👏🏻 don’t 👏🏻 have 👏🏻 to 👏🏻 knock 👏🏻 down 👏🏻 Goku 👏🏻 to 👏🏻 make 👏🏻 Vegeta 👏🏻 look 👏🏻 good

Couldn’t have all of this better myself. Well done.

Either way, this is the last I’m reblogging about this for now because frankly I’m sick of Super as a whole for the time being. Just taking a step back from it all. I’m done with the fighting. I’m done with the morons. Im done.

The new arc has been a let down and this is just the icing on the cake. DBS is supposed to be the continuation of the series I love more than anything. Yet all its done is disappoint me and get me mad which is just depressing.

So yeah lol
