Is Toriyama a genius or a hack that lucked out?
hack
A little bit of both.
you're thinking of nasu
He is both, but fuck it. I love Autistic Ball Z.
A fuck came to post this
Let me try that again
Ah fuck, came to lost this
I sometimes think fans forget that Goku literally suffers from the lingering effects of life-long traumatic brain injury.
I feel like he does a lot of stuff that would be awful in any other context but he somehow makes it work by turning it up to 11 and embracing its ridiculousness
Like there's a reason DBZ is popular and beloved but saying something is 'like DBZ' is usually meant as a deadly insult
I think it's not a little bit of both, it's a LOT of both
It's a great show for kids.
Toriyama doesn't write super's manga, he just gives plotpoint and designs like in GT. He has a successor, that was probably your guy who did it.
As for your question. Not gonna lie, he had a lot of luck, but the guy is pretty damn talented, especially for the time, and did some great things.
That's a possible theory, but he never got amnesia besides the original injury. the only thing it did was turn him good.
Hack writer brilliant manga/comic artist
Well Toriyama probably did anyways.
He's creative but is a hack writer
>Wants to write action comedy, writes some fire action comedy
>The story evolves more in a fighting direction and people like that, he keeps going
He isn't as bad a writer as most people say. the biggest sin you could say for him was listening to the crowd too much.
DB was definitely genius, no doubt, but it got hackish as the series extended too much.
This. I really wish he stuck with his guns and kept Gohan/Trunks and Goten as the protagonists. I mean Gohan isn't that great compared to the others as a protagonist (save Great Saiyaman that's the best part), but at least Boo would feel like his arc.
He should have kept it an action comedy.
What this means is that chichi literally tricked Goku into having sex with her TWICE and I honestly think that's the most fucking hilarious thing on earth.
Haven't you ever seen girls you'd stick your dick in but wouldn't kiss?
Sure but you wouldn't marry and have kids with them.
