Something You Never Did Get

I don't get how superhero sidekicks-especially non powered ones-can hold their own against their leader's supervillains. Batman spent likely two decades learning all these martial arts, stealth and all that, and Boy Robin can do all the same things in less time.
 
Why in Pokemon (dub), the riceballs were called donuts...
as a kid, anyway.
That was the reason why I started calling riceballs donuts,
and I was confused at why my parents laughed at me,
until they (eventually) told me.
I was not the smartest youngster.

And watching older episodes of Yugioh,
I realized that, at first, the characters just bended the rules to their will.
 
Yes, but the reference to it in Family Guy did come from a bit further out of nowhere than that show's miscellaneous references usually do.
 
Dragon Ball Z was one thing I've never been able to get.

If I recall correctly in the beginning of it, it mentioned in the legend of the Super Saiyan and that there's only one every 1000 years. (or was it something other than 1000? It's been so long since I last watched it.)

So yeah, then Goku goes Super Saiyan in the Freiza saga. Makes perfect sense, he is the one. But then Trunks is a Super Saiyan too. And so is Vegeta. And so is Gohan. And then Gohan ASCENDS the form. And then Goten and Trunks go Super Saiyan AS KIDS.

And then there's Broly. (I think he's just a movie character, so I guess he doesn't count. But he just further complicates this mess.)

What? :confused:

Did I miss out on something here, or was this a flaw in DBZ that I've spotted? I just think that the impact of Goku being the one legendary Super Saiyan was completely and totally destroyed as the series went on.

And that's one huge reason I would have liked to have seen the series end with Freiza's defeat.
 
:p

"Screw the money, I have rules! Wait-"


My parents didn't even bother telling me anything until like the 5th time.
So now, whenever my mom makes 'em, she teases me about it. :shrug:
Sometimes I think she makes them just so she can.

I eat them anyway.
 
Bruce had to learn everything from so many different sources. Plus, he learned a lot from experimenting and making mistakes. They have the benefit of his knowledge and experience without having to make as many rookie mistakes. His sidekicks get all of his knowledge from a single source. However, they still aren't as good as him. Hence why they are the sidekick and not partners.

The technology didn't exist to get in that much intense training in such a short period. I guess Trunks, etc. is just a case of in this universe, the law of inhereted traits doesn't apply.
 
-In the Bugs Bunny cartoon "Tortoise Wins by a Hare" when the rabbits are attacking him, thinking he's the turtle, why doesn't he just remove his cap and show his ears?
(I know this is a video game, but since it's a story, it counts)-In the Kingdom Hearts series, if Sora cares so much about finding his friends, what's he doing singing with Ariel, or hanging out with Winnie the Pooh? He could be looking for his friends in that time! :sweat:
 
Which makes it more grating because Danny Phantom IS a series that relies (and pretty durn good, I might add) on story arcs and character development. I'm with Duds on that moment as well; that does not compute and contradicts Danny's claims from "Bitter Reunions".

Considering the changes and growth both the plot and characters go through, I always got the nagging sensation that Steve Marmel (the main story planner for the first two seasons for those not in the know) wanted his parents to know for the reminder of the series, but was refrained from doing so in the last minute by Hartman or the higher-ups. If not, then shame on you, Marmel, you write so much better then this.
 
Eh, he did exposed himself at the end of the series.

One thing that bugs me is that in the Dragonball Trilogy, no one minded the weirdness on "so-called" planet Earth, but when they saw a superpowered being with gold hair, they freak out?
