I have yet to see 2 more DBZ films but from what I can see of the ones I have watch the same old cliches and nonsense keeps happening.
1)Piccolos 'Great Timing'
In the majority of the films we do not see Piccolo until the end of a battle.And his entrances are always the same.Gohan will be in danger,battered yy the enemy (e.g. Android 13 or Broly) .Then as the enemy is about to fire the fatal blast another blast appears out of nowhere to deflect it thus saving Gohan.Lo and behold it is Piccolo.And his entry words are always the same (well mostly no need to argue) "I was passing by" or someting to that effect.And it's not as if he last long either.
2)Goku is an Idiot
Now this is something that actually makes my blood boil!!Goku just lets the enemy hit him.He makes nho real effort to dodge anything and just keeps letting them hit him until his clothes are ripped to shreds.(Now this may appeal to us ladies but after a while it's boring).He just smiles and giggles like a buffoon.
At first I thought it was a tactic,that he wasn't really badly damaged.But no he really is just a moron in these films.This stupidity leads to the rest of his team mates (who are wiped out to quickly anyway) being thrashed.
3) "Give me you energy"
The second point leads straight to this one.Everyone is down,Goku is just a weakly limp lying there and he tells the unconcious warriors to give him their energy.Is it not suprising that they have enough energy to give him the ability to suddenly defeat an impossible foe??Again it always happens.I mean look at the first Broly film.Broly isn't phased at all,Goku gets his energy and defeats him just like that and they suddenly appear in a ship safe&sound. *sigh*
4)There is only Goku
Would it kill the makers to have some of the Z warriors actual in the films and battle?!Now the exception is Tien and Yamhca who did appear on one,but as soon as they went to battle to help Goku...they get hit once and are KO'ed for the whole film.Krilling does nothing but whine and sing badly!!
5)Uh-oh I am Hit So I Must Fall
Vegeta is usually (note I'm not saying all the time!) KO'ed far too early in the game.He is a Super Saiyan and though Goku may be more powerful there are sometimes when Vegeta is knocked out when it's feels as if he could alot longer.Whatever about Vegeta's power i comparison to Goku he could of defeated all those Androids,par 13,in the film Android 13.
6)Family Photo
This rant refers specifically to the Bardock Movie.It IMO would of been nice and more importantly interesting and brillant if we had known more about the Saiyans,well Bardocks family anyway.
I mean there was not glimpse of Raditz in the whole film.Fascia mentions that Bardock should go see his son.But you'd swear that there was no mother to this son or older son at all.
I would liked to of seen Goku's mother.Children get their traits(usually)from both parents.I mean if Trunks hadn't of had Bulma as a mother he'd probably be as bad tempered as Vegeta.
And I believe that Goku's power and selfness also was contributed by,by his mother and it would of been good to show this in the film.
Anyway sorry for this long rant and if anyone does read it all the way hopefully they will see I'm not 'completely' crazy and see where I'm coming from
