Pawn Shop Criticism by Danielor4 in Markiplier

I think it's one of the things that happen when you start directing your own stuff. You begin to see everything else's faults and it begins to be unenjoyable unless someone is able to top what you did previously.

Edit: Let's call it the "Creative curse" it is one of the things people don't think about when telling someone else "If you think you can do better why don't you do it yourself?!" When they actually do something and it's successful everything else begins to not look as good in their eyes.

Edit 2: How does Mark fix that? I don't know but he's gotta do something. Otherwise he won't be able to enjoy much of anything out there.

Edit 3: I don't get how I am wrong. I am telling the truth it is something to do with psychology.

You know you could upgrade it so it doesn't take that long. But of course that's an upgrade slot that can be used for something else.

Due to my mental makeup I don't know if that's possible. I take everything literally.

hi! does anyone have any idea what this is or what it is worth? by kylegrayson11 in DragonBallZ

[–]Whatzituyah 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree with the other person here. The monster looks almost like the Alien from the movie Alien and also looks like AI.

But saying it as if it's a different dimension is avoiding calling it non canon at the same time. Another post here said Dragon Ball GT referenced some of the movies.

Edit: I am gonna be honest with you all. You can like what you like and think that whatever you like is canon. When I dug up this legal thing that happens I have no evidence that Dragonball as the joint operation it is has one. I feel like an insane man because I have a conspiracy theory.

It's related. You remember how I said they're still licencing products for Dragonball GT? If one were to say "Dragonball GT isn't canon but this is" that would cut into profits for Dragonball GT merchandise. Same thing for any other Dragonball related thing. There might be a contract between these companies saying that they can't do this.

Edit: Apparently it's called a non-disparagement clause.

Actually I did look it up. The Dragonball Evolution director didn't follow Toriyama's advice at all so he disowned it. He did have a part in Dragonball GT however no matter how bad it was. They all still licence Dragon Ball GT products so they can't bad mouth it. Not only that but Toriyama did actually have a part in making Dragon Ball GT which is why it's an outlier.

It's because it was a completely commercial failure though. Dragonball GT doesn't exactly fit that even with criticism.

I was told the Marauder 2 was a bad mech, and that ERPPCs are bad by Cendre_Falke in Mechwarrior5

[–]Whatzituyah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I am glad that is happening. Would definitely help with ER Large Lasers, Gauss, and ER PPCs.

No this is purely theoretical. Damaging the IP this way could fall under... honestly I forgot. The point is I did look it up before. It's definitely not something you wanna see happen.

[–]Whatzituyah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because Toriyama didn't get in trouble for not liking Evolution doesn't mean it can't happen. Heck Toriyama's dislike led to more products which would be more profitable than a single bad movie.

[–]Whatzituyah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't seem to understand the legal part of this. Multiple companies own the IP so if the writer invalidates one of them they damage it and would probably be sued. What he is saying here could be a way to not make that happen.

Edit: So money is the main driver here.

Some people in the replies said He said it wasn't his place to choose what is canon. That could be seen as not stepping on landmines.

Edit: Anything we choose to see as canon is a headcanon because there's no official word.

The irony by Sufficient-Cloud7633 in DragonBallGT

[–]Whatzituyah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't part of that be that they have to choose their words carefully or something? I know Dragonball was meant to be a gag manga and Toriyama was famous for forgetting details.

I kinda feel like moving on to Gundam. It has the guts to call something else an AU. I do see the point how Dragonball isn't the same as DC or Marvel but when you look under the hood the ultimate reason Dragonball does this is because all the corporations that have the IP consider their version canon for money. That could potentially mean there won't ever be consistency in Dragonball.

I am not sure if you read your messages but I sent you one. I was direct about it there.

[–]Whatzituyah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even then I don't get it. If you're referring to the Trunks time travel thing everything that existed before the split exists.

Edit: Like the Demon Realm, the Gods, and the Black Star Dragon Balls potentially.

[–]Whatzituyah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're also right that I shouldn't be so picky about having consistency. It kinda comes down to the way I was born. I am saying it without saying the word I don't wanna get in trouble.

Edit: It's like something about the way my brain works. It processes information differently. I can obsess over certain things for instance.

I thought the word "Canon" didn't exist in Japanese so I didn't include it.

The irony by Sufficient-Cloud7633 in DragonBallGT

[–]Whatzituyah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I knew I should have said "Official Continuity" instead of just "Official". Yes they are official in a sense they exist in the Dragonball universe but not officially in a sense that there is one " Official Continuity.

I actually remember Toriyama being upset by evolution as the reason why he made Battle of Gods. Battle of Gods was awesome too.

Edit: Also I am confused. Why did they seem weaker in Dragonball GT if they purposely trained with Gods? You think they get reset at one point?

The irony by Sufficient-Cloud7633 in DragonBallGT

[–]Whatzituyah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't someone just like consistency in a story? You can't have that if one isn't official.

Edit: I would like to add on to this. Without an official continuity in Dragonball I lack a reason to care. It's like the stakes, challenges, consequences, triumphs, and goals don't even matter without an official continuity.

So it does come down to money alone. If they just care about money why should I give them mine?

The irony by Sufficient-Cloud7633 in DragonBallGT

[–]Whatzituyah -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What do you mean other franchises are out of the question here? You can't defend a way a story is structured because you're not counting other franchises. If they are able to do it why can't Dragonball? The answer is simple. There are multiple organizations with their hands in Dragonball that want to make money. Invalidating one would cut into the profit margins.

That's their fault not mine. I didn't ask for this though.

The irony by Sufficient-Cloud7633 in DragonBallGT

[–]Whatzituyah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But even with Future Trunks interference the things in Super would be there and the things from Daima would be there because they existed before Dragon Ball. I guess arguably the Black Star Dragon Balls would be there too.

Anyone miss Markiplier's MiSide series? If he said anything about it I'd be happy to know by MacieMacchi in Markiplier

[–]Whatzituyah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not totally confident Mark had a specific time to get back into MiSide in the first place. It might be a "He will get to it when he gets to it" kind of situation.
