Sober Second Opinion

I think you answered your own question, you are 30 something trying to figure out a show kids like.

Bah. Ignore Haye. I grew up on Lucky Charms, Pokemon, and DBZ and I definitely get what you're talking about. 1. The kid you're referring to is Gohan, who is indeed Goku's kid. He looks like Goku, but then again, most kids resemble their fathers. However, I see your point. Specially in the last season, when Goten, Goku's second son, was introduced. The kid was Goku in every way! He even dressed exactly the same. He had a rivalry with Vegeta's kid (who looked nothing like Vegeta) too. 2. There was no friendship/meaningfully lessons involved. DBZ taught me nothing other than if my friends died and I screamed loud enough, my hair would turn yellow and I would kick @$$. I also learned that destroying the Moon has no negative side effects. 3. On another note, DBZ > Power Rangers/Sailor Moon. The Power Rangers were alright, but their efforts to teach me anything other than "fighting is cool" displeased me. Also, the Power Rangers only shot off sparks when they got punched. Goku and the gang were literally ripped apart and blasted to pieces many times (luckily, the dragonballs were there to save the day). As for Sailor Moon, it was full of strong confident women. This naturally alienated me. 4. Hey, I thought I was the only one on this site who wasn't crazy for anime!

I have a long-standing dislike of anime, Marvel. Ask anyone. Upon creating an extremely offensive character called "The Anime Hunter", I was accused of being a bigoted N-azi and threatened with physical violence.I really need to remake him. We'll do a collab.

I concur with not knowing a thing about DB, and I'm 11! I think it's a stupid show, in all honesty. AAAAAAHHHHH! In that time, any other being could knock them out.

Well, Dragon Ball could be stupid at times.Goku is SEVERELY overpowered most of the times.At first the show talked about a " Legendary Super Sayian "Half-Way through the show about everyone can go Super Sayian, two of whom can go Super Sayian 1-4.Almost every couple of episodes a even more severely overpowered being bent on destroying the world pops up.... i.e Frieza, Cooler, The Androids.Somehow everybody becomes OMEGALY overpowered and they beat said baddie.A couple of episodes between someone learns a new move, which makes them unbelievably more powered.Goku starts off with a simple Kamehameha blast.By DBGT Goku knows Kamehameha x 40 ( Or somewhere in the double digits )No one stays dead, they all get wished back by the Dragon Balls ( The name of the DB made me laugh. )The end was extremely stupid.Goku goes train with the Omega Dragon, Shenron, for 100 years.He just drops everything, I mean his wife, kids everyone dies of old age! Whats the point of that?He fought so hard to save everyone then he left, and everyone turned old and died.Like " Honey, I'ma go train for 100 years, have a nice life! "Like WTF?
