Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods

[Alhuin]

@Shadow: Considering the extent of the wishes made by Goku and friends over their lifetimes, I'd say it's far more likely that Earth's dragonballs have developed more negative energy than Namek's. While we can only assume, I feel pretty confident that, other than during the Freeza arc, Namek hasn't been using their dragonballs to wish thousands of people back to life every few years. I'd say they've probably barely used them for anything considering their heritage and how simple their lifestyles were. But again, that's all speculative. However, if you think about the logicality of the situation (yeah, I know... DB(Z/GT) =/= Logical), for as much positive energy there exists in the world, an equal amount of negative energy must exist as well. It's all about balance. Could the story have done without that plot device? Sure. But since it was introduced, it makes sense, and I stand behind it.

@Mfauli: I fail to see the relevance of your statement about Bulma giving away the dragonballs in response to Neo's mention of the end of GT. Assuming you consider GT canon, then the entire events of that series take place way after the events of this movie, therefore no one could have known the consequences of such an action. And if you don't consider GT canon, then it doesn't matter anyways because that particular consequence wouldn't exist. I get that you are using your knowledge of the series to find the humor in the situation, but I don't really see the need for that humor in the first place.

I enjoyed the movie, even if I wasn't very fond of the art style, or attire of the cast members (their original clothing is just so iconic, it's kinda disappointing to see it replaced). It was great to see a story arc where Goku doesn't win for once, and I'm actually pretty excited at the possibility of a new direction for the series, should it be done. SSGod was slightly disappointing as well, but I do like that it wasn't yet another variation of the gold hair/green eyes. To be honest, before I watched the movie, I thought it was a Super Kaio-Ken. All in all though, it was a great watch.
