Oh God it's everywhere was the point I broke down.
Fight smart, not fair.Episode 14 is out. It's the funniest one thus far, I think. LittleKuriboh officially made the whole video his bitch.

Er...the TFS site isn't loading. Am I the only one?
Nevermind, started working again about three hours later.
Dodoria is the standout for me, although Freeza is also made of win.
"Just listening to the Space Duck."
"QUACK! QUACK!"
"What a majestic creature."
"Two or three more." - Made me giggle
The whole bit where Freiza counts the Stock Phrases was great
Looks like Vegeta isn't the only one who thinks that way about Solar Flare.
I have a message from another time...Gotta say, I really didn't expect them to use the gag they did with Dodoria's death.
Vegeta is big on psychology, isn't he?
| Wandering, but not lost. | If people bring so much courage to this world...◊ |Yes, it's way better now Vegeta's back. His Comedic Sociopathy is top notch!
Again with the data mining, dear Aunt?Yeah, the way they write Vegeta is pretty well done. He gets a lot of good lines, and he's a gary stu esque bad ass, but it still works.

New User HandleHow is the guy who got his ass humiliated by Goku a God-Mode Sue?
Did I say God-Mode Sue? No.
New User Handle"gary stu esque badass" = badass to the levels of a gary stu = too powerful to be believable = God-Mode Sue
...uhm...no?
That...is not a god mode sue. At all. Logical fail of epic levels. That's a fallacy.

New User HandleThen please explain what you mean by "a gary stu esque bad ass".
Don't blame me for misunderstanding your unclear communication.
Exactly what I said. Does Vegeta bend reality? No. Does he constantly break willing suspension of disbelief? No, that's Goku, if anything.
From the trope page:
It's worthy to note that there is a correlation between Bad Ass and this trope. A proper Bad Ass will frequently break the Willing Suspension Of Disbelief, but they generally sell it through either Refuge In Audacity or just generally being convincing as something that could naturally come up with the character. However, they are still treated as normal characters by the plot and have to face potential repercussions to their actions like anybody else. God Mode Sue... doesn't.
The trope Bad Ass and the trope God-Mode Sue are two different tropes for a REASON. Bad Ass =/= God-Mode Sue. Even a gary stu Bad Ass =/= God-Mode Sue.
From the Bad Ass page:
Most attempts to parody or deconstruct the Badass have turned into Misaimed Fandom - no matter how nutty the character gets (like Rorschach from Watchmen), the fans just cheer on how Badass the character is. This has led to a new trope: the Heroic Sociopath. Writers beware: Take it too far and either God Mode Sue or Jerk Sue will stride Out Of The Inferno of your work.
A God-Mode Sue occurs not with an increase in gary stuishness, but when you increase their breaking suspensions of disbelief.
What Vegeta just did in the series did not break suspension of disbelief. We know he's powerful. That's canon. What isn't canon, is his snarking tendencies.

New User HandleWhatever...
All that quoting and formulating and all I get is a whatever? I am disappoint.
But back on topic- how do you think they'll take care of the episodes that consist of only power ups? Mock them, or condense them?
New User HandleAh Come on, Vegeta is the defination of badass, at least untill Nappa says something. Then he becomes a Woobie
"Assimilate This!"
"God, I love therapy." Is there a trope for that sort of gag? Seems like a variant on Have You Told Anyone Else? to me.
Edit: Oh, of course, Just Between You and Me, I forgot about that.
