Dragon Blog Z #18: What If Gohan Became Great Saiyaman Early?

Article by Sean Wilkinson,

Hello, Ticketholders and Redditors!
Before we begin, please remember to like and comment down below, Become A Ticketholder, and follow me on Tumblr, Reddit, and Facebook for the latest news on my content.

And it is actually my content this time; not a response to someone else's Dragon Ball What If? on the MasakoX subreddit. Though I was inspired to come up with the concept for today's showcase while listening to MasakoX's "What If the Ginyu Force Turned Good?" story on YouTube.
There isn't a ton of detail to what I came up with, but I'd like to see Masako do something with it, and maybe flesh out my own concept in the future. Also, shoutout to Devonsterling123456 for being my only commenter on the topic, who agreed that it would be a fun idea to explore.

As I do with these Reddit showcase posts, here is the content of my original submission:
I'm watching the Ginyu Force What If, and thought about there not being a Great Saiyaman in the future timeline. So if Gohan had been more into fighting after Namek, he'd start his double life early, getting a costume from Bulma so he could study and sneak out of the house to fight crime, with Trunks becoming his sidekick later on. The future happens much the same as in the History of Trunks special, but Trunks dies, leaving a dark, broody Saiyaman to travel back in time and warn everyone. The costume adds a layer of identity protection and comedy, and plenty of opportunities for comic book references. Plus something impactful for Piccolo to do.

 I imagine Piccolo would have also died in the Future timeline, inspiring Gohan to model his Great Saiyaman costume as I recolored it for the banner above, and he'd adopt a deeper, Batman-esque voice, as opposed to the cheesy, Golden Age hero voice he used in the original.

That's all I have for you this time, so we aren't too far from the top where I remind you to do all those social media actions that I haven't seen you do yet.

Seriously, Become A Ticketholder already! If you have to copy your comments from social media onto Blogger, please do so! The last five weeks of this column have been me doing exactly that; it's not that hard. In fact, it's

It's not like it's one of those Touch Of A Button situations....

Illustrious,
Owl.

Stay Tuned #55: Goosebumps (Disney+ Season One)

Image
Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. the Ticketmaster I'm confused, Ticketholders. And disappointed in the lack of originality in visual media over the past few years. On top of the Fear Street trilogy and the TV series I'm reviewing today, I've also been watching the first season of Yellowjackets on Netflix because Paramount+ (like a broken floor scrubber) has a lot of buffering issues. All three are either set in or flash back to the 90s, and include a lot of the same songs and relationship dynamics (troubled same-sex couple, love triangle, toxic relationship, etc.). So the plot points and characters start to bleed together (heh; horror puns...) after awhile. But that doesn't make them bad products on their own merits. By my own actions, my merits (viewer analytics) have diminished significantly this month, so please remember to  Become A Ticketholder  if you haven't already, comment your thoughts on the Goosebumps reboot at the bottom of this post, help out my

Zenescope - Omnibusted #26: Grimm Fairy Tales TPB Volume 10

Image
Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. the Omnibuster I know that this is the third of these I've done in a row, but I have an established pattern to adhere to, so let's get Omnibusted ...again! As suggested by  Volume Nine , the Grimm Fairy Tales  issues contained in the Volume Ten Trade Paperback will continue to follow the journey of Sela and her companions through Myst. According to the  Zenescope Entertainment Wiki Chronological Reading Order , Volume Ten is also the last before Zenescope's first two big event series ( Myths & Legends  and  The Dream Eater Saga ). And Volume Ten marks the first time since  GFT #49  that an issue (or in this case, an entire Volume of issues) has gone untitled on the credits page. Speaking of The Dream Eater Saga , the zero issue of that series was featured as the short story for Volume Ten, as opposed to past Volumes having original short stories (or in one case so far, a Swimsuit Special) that added lore to the series. But because I wou

Dragon Blog Daima #23: Chatty

Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. the Animeister My plan to record footage of me playing the new Vampire Survivors ' Ode to Castlevania DLC didn't pan out the way I wanted (because the update is massive -  or as MasakoX once pronounced it, which feels like a more appropriate expression, "ma- hoo -sive" - and I don't have the time, desire, or phone memory to devote to entire days of recording). But I'm still enjoying the experience of unlocking the new characters (there's a guy with a grenade launcher! A whip that explodes!), discovering the new quality of life changes (there's a map zoom now!), and exploring the environment (Dracula's castle! Hidden forest clearings! Giant bosses! Metroid vania -style progression unlocks! Platforming in a horde survival roguelike‽). And I don't think I'm even halfway done yet! So if you love playing Castlevania (or watching people on the internet play Castlevania ), give Vampire Survivors and the Ode t
