@RichInFacts I’ve already said this: the 2015 version of Dragon Ball Super was a long-running series spanning three years, so it needed those slice-of-life scenes to pad things out. Beerus is a seasonal series, so not padding it with filler is simply what it should be doing.
Dragon Ball Super original TV → a cheap, slapdash product churned out because of all the scheduling/production problems.
Dragon Ball Super Beerus → dogshit that was rotten to the core from the very start.
@RichInFacts When it comes to dialogue, the remake can’t even claim to be better than the 2015 original, because apart from Yamcha, the entire remake has no new voice acting—it all reuses the 2015 recordings, and the lines are the same ones that were already in the 2015 version.
@RichInFacts Super Saiyan God spends most of the time getting beaten up and becomes a Kamehameha-firing machine with no highlight moment at all, then goes offline after one episode.
@RichInFacts But what’s going on with Beerus? Every few punches they have to stop and talk, with inexplicable slow motion and inexplicable staring contests to pad the runtime.
@RichInFacts Episode 5 is really hard to evaluate. A lot of the so-called slowness in the 2015 version was meant to fully convey the power and abilities of Super Saiyan God; at least in terms of results, they did show it.
@RichInFacts Toriyama-sensei glossed over in the 2013 version would get over six minutes of focus in a single episode—and it’s inexplicably boring, lacking Toriyama-sensei’s fast-paced comedic timing.
@RichInFacts There’s no Vegeta swallowing his pride and making takoyaki for Beerus for everyone’s sake—Vegeta’s characterization is simply thrown out, and everyone is just a plot-delivery tool.
@RichInFacts Over these five episodes, apart from the first two, episode 3 rushes through the daily interactions between Beerus and the Z-fighters like a rocket, going straight to the argument with Buu.
@supremospidey@JosCarl79858979 The direction and pacing are utterly terrible, with inexplicable padding; basically, the flaws in Beerus are directly inherited from GT’s flaws.
