DBZ can be really well done when it wants to, but as for me, the color and character designs sells it to me.

Trunks on the top left just looks worse to me. If not just because he looks like a fucking cosplayer.

Dragon Ball saved a lot of time by making only 15 minutes of animation per episode

DB Super is trying hard to distance itself from muscles for some reason. The redraw of Future Trunks was very obvious when they tried to pair it up with the originals.

Muscles are cool, no homo.

It's not Super, it's how Toriyama draws his character designs now in general. Heck Super Saiyan God explicitly makes Goku slimmer by design but it was his strongest form until Blue

Yea, I got the message after I saw that too. Beerus was strange, after all. Then a skinny transformation? That's the theme of Super.

seems like there isn't as much emphasis put on the physique of anime characters in general anymore.

even in JJBA, the characters went from swole, perfectly proportioned physiques to twink status.

That's exactly what happens in the manga too.

The thing is that Z had it's moments so it was easy to forgive it when it went to shit creek.

That being said, Super has gotten better, not as good as the best animated scenes in Z but it's way better than what it stared out with.

I think it's less that and more that it hasn't completely shat the bed in the past 10 episodes or so. It's not really good though. And yes, that dragon was like 11 episodes ago.

This isn't limited to anime/manga or just Japan.
Think about the main characters in American action movies in the late 70s until the early 90s. They, more often than not, were big muscular men. Hell, even in non-action movies men were, at least, considerably tall and decently built.
Compare them to main characters in most movies now, and you get to see MCs in action that sometimes don't have even a bit of muscle, and some are even short to boot.

It did, but you just don't realize it because you only remember the good episodes by the non-shit directors (I know there's a comparison image floating around of the three or so different ones around the time of Namek), and you've only seen post-broadcast episodes on top of that.

DB Super will probably look better once the BDs come out. Just like the DBZ episodes you see today. Though, the QUALITY moments were substantially less bad back, I will admit. But it was still pretty shit anyway.
>>
>>144001869
There was the Expendables which were nice homages to that era of movies.
>>
>>144001987
Kind of, Expendables 2 was pretty ass and I haven't watched 3, my main issue is if you have 25 action heroes including meme magic chuck norris in one team and on the other you've got Van Damme and Boyka alone, it's fucking bullying.

I don't think it's quite that new movies have no role models, I think it's simply heroes have become a bit more everymen you can identify with easier. Humanized a lot.

You really don't see the massive difference, especially the 2016 version of the Future Trunks redraws?

The 2016 body implies no broad shoulders, and his black tank-top implies that it is larger than the tank-top on the right side of the 1992 version. His belt is there to accentuate the thin waist line and wide shoulders giving him a more "manly", "tougher" look, and the 2016 version implies it is just a belt on his hips where the 1992 version implies the belt goes up to his stomach/waist, which is much thinner than a man's hips and makes much more sense to be there according to the way he is drawn.

Eh, not everyone notices anatomy as intimately I guess.

This. The teams in 2 were stacked to all hell. And don't bother with 3.

By the way, the larger size tank top on the left also makes him look less athletic by hiding his waist line, which is already implied with having no wide shoulders.

It's the little things that make you look like you actually lift weights or train the body for martial arts.
>>
>>143991357
What if Black and Zamara (I think that's his name) see from their point of view that the Gods are evil. Incompetent. And they wage war with the God hierarchy. At first, Goku and the rest think to obviously side with Beerus and the Gods, but they waver as they are but "pawns". Perhaps some people switch sides and a multiversal civil war breaks out.

Black and Zamasu think that humans were a mistake made by the gods though, so from their perspective they're helping the gods out who, from their perspective, are too arrogant to admit they screwed up with creating humans.

I'm guessing the humans in universe 10 or in other universes did something really awful that appalled Black and Zamasu, to the point where they sincerely think they're doing a good thing (which is rare since most Dragon Ball villains are complete assholes who do nothing for the greater good).

Don't know why I differentiated, they're probably the same person. Black could be another universe's variant of Zamasu or Future Zamasu.

Why is it that the kids in the Jojo generals always spout this meme that only the newest 4 parts are good? The first 4, especially the first 3, had a charm to them that is lost as JJBA just becomes who has the most ridiculous stand dick measuring contents.

>>144004500

Most stands in Jojo, especially protagonist ones, are strong thanks to creative use instead of sheer power. Stone Free, Echoes, even The World's timestop only lasts for a few seconds.

I don't think they mean literally humans. Ningen stands for human, but can also mean sentient life. For example, namekians are also ningen aka humans.

So universe 10 might not have an earth. Zamasu hating mortals makes more sense seeing as he has also destroyed other planets, not just earth.

I think subbers need to be careful not to assume human means earth humans.

It's OK, it's quite obvious with Goku and Vegeta being thinner, that their training with Whis is forcing them to rely on technique better than pure force, contrary to what they were doing till now. The last fight of Goku VS Goku Black showed much more feinting and dodging than all the fights in DBZ. Same for the giant fire balls, I'm pretty sure we're going to see those less and less.
