  • I’d say that going Super saiyan is definitely cheating. Having the ability, not so much.

    And jsyk, according to Toriyama, Pan is supposed to have around the same potential as Gohan, if not even greater, but with Goku’s instincts and tenacity. This means that, except for maybe a fully trained Broly, she has the potential to be the strongest saiyan in the series, so of all the mixed species characters you could pick, she might be the worst possible example lol. It’s more word of God than it is hard canon since Tori never got around to showing us her as an adult, but still.

    I think Krillin would whoop base Goten 1v1 tho tbh. Obviously not with raw power, but K-man has decades of experience on the lad and, as far as saiyans go, he seems to be leagues behind everyone else in battle iq/interest in improving.


  • Maybe. I’m pretty sure Tien mopped the floor with him in DB, but that was a long time ago. I don’t think either of them have enough feats in Super to definitively say who would win, but Tien is consistantly more dedicated to training and has an even trickier arsenal of techniques, so I’d put my money that ways.

    And being half human is still being human. That’s genetic diversity, which is not cheating.





  • I’m not a fan of his and agree that what he did there was extremely shitty and self-centered, but do we actually have reason to believe he has clearly not changed?

    I don’t keep up with the guy, but I do know that people can change. Especially so after being publicly humbled, as well as after a decade+ has passed. Then there’s also the public journey of experiencing such grand fame so young and then having to outgrow his welcome. For better or worse, these things all leave marks.

    Literally everyone I know has said something insensitive or otherwise regrettable at one time or another, and I’d be willing to bet all I’ve got that you have too. That’s just part of the deal, right? It’s not that I’m arguing his sainthood or anything, but without evidence that he’s exactly the same now as he was then, I’m a bit bristly on the thought of judging a stranger on such absolute terms.














  • Adrian Younge! He makes hip-hop inspired jazz with legends from both genres and cites Portishead as one of his most beloved inspirations.

    There’s also Supreme Beings of Leisure, who were lesser known contemporaries of Portishead. Lots of similarities here, but they generally explore a wider breadth of feels besides depressive longing, and their sound definitely reflects that. One of my personal all-time favorite bands, these guys. Right up there with Portishead!

    Edit: Mazzy Star also comes to mind for their shared tone. More of a stripped down sound in comparison, and they lean more toward bluesy folk, alt rock, and occasionally gaze than triphop, but their lyrics should have a familiar feel to Portishead fans. They might be a bit disimilar on the surface, but they share a lot of the same spirit once you pop that hood up.
