Yea, I always just went with "Unlocking his potential just makes him as strong as he would have been if he kept training." Since if he kept training there's no way in hell Goku or Vegeta could ever pass him.

It's still really silly, but the Namekian Elder did say that he couldn't unlock all of Gohan's potential, so it's not entirely out of nowhere.
I think Ultimate actually works like this: Gohan always had problems accessing his full reserve of power I.e. his rage boosts and what elder Kai did was allow him to access that full power reserve any time he wants to at least that's my read of it
Well, that's the Champa arc done.
Started fun, but got more disinterested as it went on.
Hit is a jabroni and I don't care about him.
As always Beerus (and Champa) remain the highlight for me, may be the only aspect of super I really dig.
Seems like filler is up next. So I'll skip them and say I was caught up.

Super doesn't have filler.
Also, the episodes between arcs in Super are some of the best ones, with the Potaufeu episodes being the only real exception.
It might've been a little worse even (there was the little bit of filler before they shot the dog where they went out hunting people for sport because the world is ending so fuck it).
THAT'S A GOOD POINT, IF ELDER KAI CAN MAKE GOHAN STRONGER, WHY CAN'T HE DO THAT FOR GOKU OR ANYONE ELSE
Right, my bad.
But yeah, believe said arc is next. I've seen the last two of the episodes already.
Guess I'm caught up then.
You really think Goku is capable of sitting still for like 30 hours?
Elder Kai is a jerk.
This is actually brought up in Super, but they're too short on time to do the ceremony.

The problem with the Tomb Raider movie is whenever I see it all I think about is that one brutal death in the reboot.
We all know the gif.

The problem with the Tomb Raider movie is that I refuse to watch any movie that does the "slow song cover" thing in the trailer.
I'm working with the North Koreans to make Hollywood the first target.
At least the inception BWAAAA is dead
God that was everywhere
I think I was burned out after Part 6 and needed a break from it, it happens. I binged that stuff pretty bad.
There is nothing wrong with Part 1, you don't need fluid animation for blue Kenshiro's bullshit.
Part 1 is infinitely better once you realize that it's mostly about Dio's ascension to headless vampirism.
hmmmm nope the journey still isn't great
Araki already did
it's called part 7
Heroes > Villains
The hero is more important for a story imo. The Pillar Men are pretty dull, but it doesn't matter, because Joseph is so good.
even then the journey isn't great enough
plus i doubt that was the plan till parr 3 considering a certain plot hole
I'm one of those people that thinks a great story hinges on the villain being good. Berserk wouldn't be Berserk if Griffith was just some random mustache twirling villain going "NYAAAAA!!!" Besides I normally tend to enjoy the villains more. Nothing more entertaining than somebody having fun while doing their villainy.
To me, especially in arc based series, villains are mainly there to antagonize the heroes. They way the heroes react is what really makes the story. If I don't care about the heroes, I find it difficult to care about the story at all. Villains can be interesting in their own right, but I feel like that's secondary. That goes double for longer series, which swap out their villains as it goes on, but the heroes will be mostly the same cast of characters. I think the heroes basically are the story in those cases.
I guess I just like evil or at the very least non do gooders. I like the occasional hero, but I guess the entirety of the whole thing has to spark my interest these days. As long as each has some depth and can lead to discussion then it's all good.
a story lives and dies by its protagonist(s) if the protagonist doesn't draw people in often they just lose interest or they don't engage with the story in the first place i mean do you think that Dragon Ball would be half as successful if Yamcha were the protagonist?
Pitou isn't a weasly self serving spineless piece of shit.
Imagine Naruto, but with Shikamaru as the main character. It instantly got better didn't it?
I mean doesn't it depend strongly on how a story is written? It feels like different structures will put different emphasis and importance on the hero vs. the villain. This is to say nothing of the fact that who is the protagonist vs. the antagonist doesn't always match up cleanly with the roles of hero and villain.
Iok being a spineless piece of shit is part of what makes him a good villain though
He's good as that slimy type of villain. Not as one of those gets shit done villains. There are several types of villains.
Ideally, a hero and villain are equally important. But in a long serialized work the heroes should be a tad more dynamic and developed than the villains.
I always appreciate a good villain.
In fact, I think people often enjoy villains more than heroes.
