Haven’t watched Masako in a while since his stories went off the deep end into pretentious fanfic territory, but I’ll go ahead and say that Salad Saiyan did it better. He did a what-if where the power scaling got so absurd and the final battle escalated so much that it started ripping into the multiverse and affecting other what-ifs, basically presented as “this is ridiculous but it’s cool for a single video so fuck it”.
I work graveyard shift and need something to listen to or I'll blow my brain out
They do have good chemistry together. The old Let's Plays they did with Gan weren't that great since Kaiser and Taka suck at games, but the four of them bouncing off one another works really well.
I've never seen any Salad video like that which one was it?
"What if Goku Was Evil". I said "single video", but it's more like the last two or three videos of the series.
The idea of her being an overly serious Batman type was kind of funny in the Buu bits, but yeah.
When has the concern of political “jokes” becoming outdated ever stopped them?
That bit’s fine. It’s totally within her character to want to be a super serious hero of justice that’s taken seriously considering the source material. It’s everything else that was the issue in the Bits.
So, by the time episode 2 aired they'd have to apologize for offensive jokes?
They got worse as the series started to shift from regular abridged series to comedy dub. So, basically around the time Perfect Cell showed up.
Rewatching the series, I'll admit that my personal favorite thing to do is watch in real time the moment when their heads begin to go up their own asses on "This isn't a Parody, this is a DUB."
It also completely defeats the point of an episode commentary. The point by the way being that your watching along with the creators/whoever is involved in the behind the scenes production as they point out something cool that a laymen wouldn't notice or talk about their overall experience as the episode goes on without pausing. Its a constraint to prevent overly technical or far too in-depth explanations, so the commentators have to be on point and brief.
I wouldn’t mind if they paused every 5 seconds if they talked about relevent stuff, how they did something or why but they don’t. The livestream commentary they did years before was way better in that regard. As were Kaiser’s episode breakdowns.
Don't you want to know how cleverly they rewrote Dende to be a fag? Or how many months it took to digitally edit shit no one cares about?
I personally like how realistic of a fag they made him. Even down to lusting after very young boys, very bold writing tbh.
The problem is at this point they've gone over this shit so many times that they've probably already said everything that they had to say already, so they have nothing left. But they need these because DBZA is still a huge part of why they were ever successful, and it's turning out to be the only reason they were ever successful, so they're desperately trying to recycle shit to stay afloat.
Back when Kaiser did a tech breakdown of the episodes in his video editing software, it was interesting just because he'd point out what was difficult and what solution was used. But that only works if he's got the timeline infront of him and has a fresh memory of what was done. Doing that type of breakdown later just isn't interesting
