Cheap jokes

After watching Dragon Ball for more than ten years, I also liked the guy who was always lacking in his brain at first, and later became obsessed with the prince with higher self-esteem. Even the theater version is not as good as a year, earning money from old fans under the banner of nostalgia, but also enduring the clumsy script, chaotic setting, and out-of-shape characters after watching it for so many years. The little details will not be held accountable. I thought that the initial state of mind would gradually calm down with the passage of time, like the prince of these years, the smoothed edges and corners, no more ups and downs. But after watching this one, those cheap jokes, overlapping and intertwined with the figure I love, were furious in an instant, and I had to vomit quickly.

I really like the setting of countless parallel universes. In addition to the support of some ethereal scientific theories, this setting also reproduces the phrase "There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people" from a certain angle. Parallel universes allow differences. The author writes all kinds of wonderful stories, and the main frame is subject to the same half-proposition composition. But the script that the official handed over this time is really a botched copy of the parallel universe: the main line is single, there is no suspense, 3D perfunctory... It is just these faults, no matter what, give a three-star comfort point.

It's because of Vegeta. The short little prince who has made people worry and can't let go for so many years.

I can accept his chanting "Dare to beat my Bulma!" But I can't accept his stubbornness, that funny Bingo dance for the sake of cuteness, and I can't accept the plot. At the end of the plot, he is the savior like everyone else. In the stands in the background, marveled—what a powerful showdown—

maybe other Dragon Ball fans and other audiences can accept it, but this is not the prince I know. Perhaps Toriyama was already confused and didn't care much about the little villain he drew at the peak of the year, and later the Saiyan prince who became more and more tragic in order to serve as a foil for the protagonist.

But how could I forget! The little villain who outsmarted the Dragon Ball on Namek, with a sturdy figure and strong fighting power; the one who shed unwilling tears in front of Frieza's eyes and entrusted Wukong to avenge his hatred; the one who challenged his limits in the gravity room over and over again; the one who would rather To sell the soul is to chase Kakarot's figure; the earth-shattering self-detonation plunges heaven and earth into inexplicable grief; the fighting genius who loves his wife and children and pays more attention to opponents and self-esteem.

I once joked with friends that Vegeta's appearance is not his most attractive part, but the character's peculiar character. There is a wonderful and persistent endurance that silently and unyieldingly resists the script, and even resists the fate of the author to place himself. Many people think this is a terribly shit character, hard-mouthed, aggressive, and sometimes even a "pig-like teammate", which is all right. However, drama and reality are always two different things. Vegeta often makes sacrifices for the drama of his works, but unlike the tragic characters in many works, he has been fighting against this fate, and may finally give up, but he has never stepped into the background of the protagonist. He is always the one with the sharpest edges and corners. Even if he hits his head and broke his blood, he still has to make his own voice loudly to us viewers watching good shows in front of comic books and screens. I think the significance of Dragon Ball to me is that he not only taught me to be optimistic when necessary, to love life, but also to teach me that at certain times, I was constantly fighting, insulting, and actually loving my destiny, which is so gray and invisible. . Love your destiny, embrace it warmly and fight it back in all imaginable ways, instead of giving up, indifferent, mocking, and deconstructing it—every time Vegeta’s life ends, it seems to bloom Gorgeous fireworks.

It’s just that you care too much, and your life becomes narrower and narrower. When I write this, I want to sigh and sigh for him so much. When I think about it, I'm talking about myself.

The veteran and the screenwriter can write a more exciting story, let all the characters play their initiative and become more flesh and blood, instead of just showing a face passively, or even let a certain character perform an anti-character laughter Grandstanding. Compared with these, it is better to study the story and shape the characters to keep the hearts of old fans.
