  • Опубликовано: 30 окт 2019
  • Dragon Ball has some great TV Specials and today I am going to watch The History of Trunks and Dragon Ball GT: A Hero's Legacy.
    Dragon Ball Heroes has been calling my name lately and I've been ignoring it for as long as I can. In this review of the specials I look at the story and the inconsistencies with each one.
    Will I like a Dragon Ball GT Story? STAY TUNED!

      No. But perhaps that special is.

      Since it doesn't follow any manga arc structure the pacing is shit and the fights suck
      But it's not nearly as bad as people say

      It has good aspects and themes but overall has too many parts of wasted potential and annoying parts which honestly hurts it more than super because it’s an end point. It might’ve been the timing that gave it a retroactively bad rep but also possible burn out.

      @MattManDX1 4 года назад +6

      @MultiTarded This youtube video isn't film though, it's digital. No film reels were involved here. Film and movie are synonyms, "movie" literally meaning moving pictures and "film" referring to the rolls of film on reels from which those moving pictures are projected. Playing in theaters doesn't have anything to do with the classification, there are made-for-t.v. movies after all.

    • @MattManDX1
      @MattManDX1 4 года назад +2

      @MultiTarded Wartime propaganda commercials wouldn't be film either since they're commercials, just like how an advertisement for a The Lord of the Rings wouldn't be called a movie. "Movie" is just a slang term for motion picture and "Film" is just a slang term for the same thing but referencing the material used to store the pictures. Oh and if it's not daytime then the phrase would be "good evening".

It's always been my favorite, is arguably one of the most memorable aspects about GT ( or at least as much as the other Saga's). I get it has its flaws, everything does, but from an objective point of view, it serves it's purpose in the story pretty darn well.

    Easy. Just look at the character's of the Androids. They were always going on about how bored they are, and Trunks was amusing and weak enough to be left alive for a bit longer, especially with Gohan's death. They probably should have made that a bit more obvious though.

If they really wanted to leave him alive, they would've just left him there lying unconscious instead of going out of their way to deliver a killing blow (with tons of dramatic emphasis no less).

    Back when I was a kid, I used to own A Hero's Legacy and I simply adored it.
    I didnt know much of the lore of dragonball, but I knew how tough it is for Goku Jr to manage literally being Goku's ancestor.
    The scene with grandma Pan literally mirrored Uncle Ben's phrase to Peter Parker. It was cathartic since I just got into spiderman too lol.

    I always loved the Goku Jr special. It was such a good story. I literally felt sad and depressed since it was literally the end of Dragon Ball. This shit had me all emotional lol. Old anime can really hit you in the gut man. More than these new anime.
    EDIT:
    Let me clarify some things a bit because I think my original comment portray's the wrong message here. I never have and never will say that new anime sucks as I mostly watch new anime anyway. A ton of new anime can seriously punch you in the gut and pull at your heart strings when its done right and a lot of em do indeed get it right like Clannad, A Lull in The Sea, Hero Academia, Anohana for example. New anime is awesome. I'm currently waiting on Demon Slayer movie to come out lol. I hope we get a season 2 and I can't wait for Attack On Titan S4!
    I don't watch much older anime tbh but I feel like when I do, they tend to get me right in the feels a bit more than new anime sometimes. I think its a combination of the visual style, lighting and that sad violin orchestra music I suppose. I dunno lol. Hope that cleared things up.

Don't get me wrong i love cooler and Turles even though both don't really have a story or even much character espically turles until xenoverse 2 that is. This is kinda why i'd like another special that isn't hinged on the fact that it has to be for the kids or has to be so happy go lucky. Even if that isn't very possible.

    I loved A Hero's Legacy and I wish I can talk about how it's underrated when everyone has the "GT bad" mentality. Unfortunately, if I say anything good about GT that's not Super Saiyan 4, I would get many comments saying I'm wrong.

    I was disappointed by the GT special when I first saw it due to lack of action. But after watching your review, I appreciate it much more for it's story and message - something many of the other Dragonball films are lacking in.

    When you started reviewing movies, I was expecting this one. Yes, I'm one of them, I didn't know, ok? I saw this on TV long ago and I was baffled by how good it was. I am among them that think Dragon Ball GT is actually good, not amazing, but not as terrible as people say. This one shows what Dragon Ball should be all about. Think about it, the best stories are where the focus is on getting the Dragon Balls, and it falters when it focuses on only fights.
    If they release a new Dragon Ball where Goku is not the main, heck where none of the classic characters appears, I'll be 100% over that thing. Scratch the z warriors, scratch the Saiyans and scratch the epic larger than life fights. Just focus on someone trying to get the Dragon Balls to get a wish granted, making friends, enemies and having adventures. That's what a Dragon Ball tale is.

    12:12 "Why has no one talked about this" Age, my friend. Also the fact that most people that watch anime nowadays stray away from anything related to dbz. Especially people that have only started watching it. I know Dbz is widely popular around the globe, but i somehow still don't feel like it gets the love it deserves. This may sound like bs coming from a fanboy but i really feel like it isn't.

    The GT special is forgotten because "GT" is in the title. If Toriyama was attached and changed nothing about the script (same goes GT itself) people would've hailed it the true successor to Z

      Bougie Joker the same can be said of GT...both GT and Super had good ideas with bad implementation. Precisely because neither of them could honestly top the originals in a satisfying way. That’s precisely why people argue that both GT and Super are good/bad because of preferences of the ideas presented.

      @@JokerL1000 I could say the same for GT if we're putting them on the same scale of criticism.
      My main reason for saying the Black arc is better is thanks to Mr. Rosė himself. As a villain, he's much more believable and enjoyable than Baby to watch. And a good villain should be able to carry a story for themselves.
