I though it was left up to the audience if they stayed friends or got together.

It's nearly every live action or animated comedy in the last 30 years.
American Dad did it
The Cosby Show did it
My Wife and Kids did it
Archer did it
Ironically the main shows that sidestepped it were Simpsons, Cheers, and Married with Children. The former because Homer actually did do self-destructive shit, and the latter two because the message was that men and women are both full of shit.

Goku forgave most of them before they ever set things straight.

The 2018 Grinch was a decent socially awkward character

Attached: The.Grinch.2018.webm (1280x534, 1.37M)

Also, the female character does something just as awful/if not WORSE in the same or a different episode and she gets away with it.

yes and no, the fighting thing is almost a given as natural saiyan autism, hitting his head just made him unnaturally mellow and friendly for a Saiyan.

Much as I disliked heavily the reimagining of the Grinch story, and how not-as-entertaining he was in the 2nd half....
This is true.

Seriously I wish the movie was him being a dick all throughout. It was EXTREMELY funny.

I think the problem is that as far as an interpretation of Grinch goes, I never viewed that character as "socially awkward" so much as like.... The grumpy old man yelling at kids to get off his lawn. I wouldn't call that archetype socially awkward either, just mean and grumpy.

It seems they weren't sure what kind of character they wanted. He started as a jerk and then switched to a socially awkward sad man trying to convince himself being alone was the best for him. At least the ending was relatable as fuck.
Yeah but that version was just pretending to be grumpy

...

Watch the Broly movie or read DB Minus. Kakarot inherited Gine's gentle nature.

>Female characters comes along spouting men are dumb, chauvinistic, immature, and sexist.
>Nobody calls her out.

...

Vegeta's sacrifice doesn't make up for the thousands he slaughtered. His treatment of the namekian villages alone during the Frieza saga should've had Goku view him as irredeemable before we even get to the Buu saga where he willingly slaughters a crowd of people before the sacrifice for a fucking fight. Not to mention the hundreds he killed by proxy by letting Cell become perfect

Piccolo only became the way he was because straight after he finally murdered Goku like he wanted he had to train for an even bigger threat rather than conquer the planet like King Piccolo did. At some point he just kinda gave up on the idea for no real reason. His desire to protect Gohan was more a product of him bonding with the runt after a year of training with him.

Tien was never explicitly evil, he was just obsessed with being strong like Goku. His only difference was that the crane school was way more aggressive in its teachings and it showed

The androids never got the chance to go full terminator on people because Cell's attempts and eventual success at anal voring them shuffled their priorities a bit and by the time they could've acted on their impulses most the others were strong enough to one shot them.

As a bonus we have Buu and Beerus, both of which are engines of destruction that have slaughtered their way through the eons either out of duty, childish desire, or simple pettiness and Goku doesn't bat an eye. The take away here is that Goku is a fucking idiot that likes to pretend Frieza is the only horrible person he knows as he pals around with absolute monsters.

>Goku is a fucking idiot that likes to pretend Frieza is the only horrible person he knows
But Goku thinks Freeza is his pal now

>Ironically the main shows that sidestepped it were Simpsons
The Nu-simpsons do it all the time, have you seen the one where Homer binges stranger things without marge and he has a mental breakdown where he considers it cheating on her and she kicks him to the living room couch? And he has to learn dancing to make it up to her?

>non-dog animal sidekick is introduced, but the crew has no idea how to make it cute or funny so it just acts like a dog

I have always hated watching shows with someone and the character talks to the screen, it makes me cringe.

That’s not how it works, he hit his head as a baby, and that allowed Grandpa Gohan to be able to influence him

I guess its a trope because I saw it on TVTropes but lost it, but I've always found it obnoxious whenever writers do the thing where a character says something twice for emotional sake. Like the Babe line but there's worse ones that my mind is blanking on, it just sounds annoying.

He would've been nice even if he hadn't hit his head, pure hearted Saiyans are a thing now.

Wasnt this a thing in the justice league cartoon

When you walk away....

>"They should make a TV show about our lives!"
>"Come on, nobody would watch a series about *describes exact premise of the show*!"

To be fair Beerus is more of a cosmic force than anything. He's basically the DB universe's Galactus, destroying planets is literally his job and what he exists to do.

He's still kind of a spastic cunt about it though.

I agree with you except on two things.
>Buu
Fat Buu isn't Kid Buu, Kid Buu is the Physical Incarnation of Death and Destruction Birthed from the Primordial Ooze, Fat Buu is the brain of the deceased Grand Supreme Kai in a chunk of Buu's body, who crippled his mind to a child like state before getting absorbed and like a child obey the teachings of the person who treated them best, and at that time it was the Wizard Bibadi.
>Vegeta
Yeah his sacrifice doesn't make up for his Space Stalinist manners but his Sacrifice was supposed to be the ending banner on all of his growth from Space Stalin. People tend to forget that the reason a large part of the reason he acted like Space Stalin was two fold: First, he was told from birth he was the Prince of the Strongest Warrior race in existence, son of the King of the Planet Vegeta, his Namesake, so that created a lot of his Ego. Second, after his Fathers death he was raised as a pseudo son by Frieza, taught nothing but Carnage and destruction, and acted like him, killing everything in his path because he was told from a young age, everything else was beneath him.
My point being on the Vegeta side he was crafted into being a Villain, not born one, and through meeting his son only to see him die in front of him, and fucking Bulma on a daily basis he managed to throw off his chains, he can never fix his crimes but he can try to atone for them.

Yeah, Beerus didn't need to exist, Toriyama's Cat's insertion wasn't needed.

>Character that could win gets nerfed for the sake of plot

Name one example

>Give us some heavy breathing, silence, shifting eyes, or any behaviors that actual awkward people engage in.
Like Brainy from Hey Arnold?

not him, but does this count?:

Welcome to the NHK would be perfect without the waifu faggotry involved in the main plot, but the male characters are spot on. It's about two NEET losers who start developing indie hentai games to make a living. Prison School is another, about a bunch of losers who manage to enroll in an all-girl school due to a change in legislation only to find out it has draconian rules to enforce segregation of sexes . And as someone mentioned, Watamote. That one's about an insecure school girl who spergs out constantly.

You do realise that Luffy vs Katakuri's fight literally had him adapt to the situation by using the Snakeman form to close the gap since Kata had the ability to see in the future. That's literally being creative with their devil fruit and haki by using the speed, power, and range of Snakeman.

Doesn't make it any less wrong. None, NONE of the Z fighters has ever wantonly slaughtered a crowd like that for a fucking fight. Not even Piccolo when he was still an evil shit bent on revenge.

Piccolo gave Buu the idea to kill humans while he waited for Gotenks, Buu killed literally all of them in a flash, nobody gives Piccolo shit for that.
It was a shit plan that was inexcusable. He misread his enemy and everyone on earth died for that. While we're at the Buu saga, Vegeta gave Goku shit for grabbing Satan and Dende when Buu dropped the vanishing ball but didn't grab anyone himself, not even his own son. Dude's a fucking hypocritical asshole on top of being an asshole asshole.

Unsatisfying status quo resets; those bother the shit out of me. I understand why shows reset to a status quo, but can there at least be a good reason?

I wouldn't say that Goku thinks he's buddies with Frieza, he just takes him a lot less seriously now as an actual villain.
Like in the Broly movie when Goku completely disregards Frieza's threatening monologue just to ask him what repugnant means.
Also Goku is fully aware that he outclasses Frieza at this point, which is an extra reason to take him less seriously.

But is appreciated, except by tasteless DBZbabbies

At least Beerus has more character than Buu, which was just a fatter, stupidly stronger and more retarded Cell

>NHK
The waifu faggotry is the most brilliant part, though, because Misaki does Satou absolutely no good and, deep down, is only trying to feel better about herself. It's only when Satou is left without any lifelines that he pulls himself out of his funk.

Not gonna make excuses for Vegeta, but Piccolo sending Buu off while they all waited for Gotenks was really all he could do. If Buu killed the protagonists, that was basically it for the entire universe, afterlife and all. Meanwhile everyone knew that finding the Dragon Balls meant they'd be able to revive all the civilians that Buu had killed.

This is so insulting
