DBS Beerus covered in 1 episode, what original DBS took about 4 to do. Feels so much better pacing wise. Visuals are obviously way better, and a lot of cool added things like the Goku image training and stuff.
This will be the definitive way to watch DBS going forward easily
Mamdani: This afternoon, a New Yorker was shot by ICE agents. ICE agents surrounded the man's vehicle before opening fire. They wore construction vests and masks that concealed their faces. There was no reasonable way to way to identify them as JCE agents. School had just gotten out. The street was crowded with families and children. When ICE agents opened fire. A five year old child, a five year old child was in the car.
When Franklin joined Peanuts in 1968, his arrival may have looked like a small change to a comic strip, but it carried much greater significance in the America of that time.
Franklin was introduced just weeks after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., during a period when the country was confronting segregation, racial violence, school integration and the struggle for equal rights. His presence in one of the most widely read comic strips in America gave millions of children something they rarely saw in mainstream popular culture: a Black child simply existing alongside white children as an equal.
Created by Charles M. Schulz, Franklin was not introduced as a stereotype or as a character whose entire personality revolved around race. He was simply Franklin. He was polite, thoughtful and confident, and he interacted with Charlie Brown and the other children as a friend. He could talk about school, play baseball, share lunch and take part in the everyday situations that made Peanuts so popular. That normality was important because representation at the time was often limited, stereotypical or completely absent from mainstream American media.
The circumstances surrounding Franklin's introduction are especially important. In 1968, the United States was still deeply divided over racial equality, and many communities were resisting the integration of schools and neighborhoods. The Civil Rights Movement had achieved major legal victories, including the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, but laws alone did not immediately change attitudes or everyday life. Against that background, a nationally syndicated comic showing a Black child and a white child as ordinary friends carried a message without needing to make a speech about it.
Schulz also faced criticism over Franklin's presence, particularly when Franklin was shown sitting beside Charlie Brown at school. The objection was not simply about adding a Black character. It reflected the racial attitudes of an America where even fictional children sharing a classroom could become controversial. Schulz nevertheless kept Franklin in the strip and resisted pressure to make his character something other than what he had intended: another child in the world of Peanuts.
That is what makes Franklin's story so significant. He did not need to deliver a political speech or become a symbol of protest every time he appeared. His importance came from being treated as a complete human being rather than a racial stereotype. For children reading Peanuts, the image of Franklin sitting with Charlie Brown, talking with him and participating in the same world helped make interracial friendship feel ordinary.
Franklin's introduction reminds us that cultural change does not always happen through famous speeches, marches or landmark court decisions. Sometimes it happens through the everyday images that children grow up seeing. A Black child appearing naturally beside a white child in a comic strip might seem ordinary today, but in 1968, that ordinary image challenged assumptions that were still deeply embedded in American society. Franklin became part of the funny pages, but his place there also became part of the larger story of representation, equality and the changing face of American culture.

Come on, you know why.
It’s the same reason they hate Zack despite him being wrapped around Aerith’s finger the way they WISH Cloud would be.
No one in this game loves Aerith as much as Zack, but they HATE him.
