Especially the Resurrection F stuff. As the story was, Vegeta beat up a worn out Freeza who was already essentially losing to Goku.
If Vegeta was to be the hero of that arc/movie, I would've had him and Goku reverse roles. Have Vegeta be the one to wear Freeza out but because he's starting to take his time with the fight to return the favor for what happened to his race, he gets taken out by the laser gun. Then have Goku "defeat" Freeza, but his willingness to let him live results in the Earth getting destroyed. And then have Vegeta be the one to deliver the killing blow.
I felt like that scenario would've been more satisfying and actually better display both their flaws.
It's the only way to launch his yet-to-be-seen Ultimate Move, Final Flash Hip Thrust.
I would if I could find it anywhere. All I can find is Dragon Ball Super in Japanese on Crunchyroll.

Xenoverse has 2 attack buttons that you can chain together for combos as well as different technical things like teleports and such to do combos.
This is the worst scene in Super. The series would be so much better if it didn't happen.
This one is probably the best, but there are a lot of good ones. There's this one, and this one. This is good. This one's up there too. If they just stuck to these kinds of scenes the series would be a lot better.

Fighting wise that's good, but I don't like Super's and Ultimate's being mapped to a single button. Makes them feel unrewarding to use.
I guess for something going down the route of RPG mechanics it makes sense, so I do understand why it's like that in Xenoverse.
It's Z with non-manga stuff removed, but with Bardock.

Dragon Ball Kai The Final Chapters leaves most of the filler in sadly.

The scientist?
He's not much of a fighter so it's weird that they put him into a fighting series.
In RoF Vegeta was basically the "me too" character that he's been through most of Super now. Boring.

Do not ignore Dragon Ball.
Only Final Chapters is cropped.
Z's filler makes it a bad recommendation for a new comer.

He's openly disregarding the idea of teamwork while the arc is pushing it strongly though. He likely will be punished for something like that.
Alright. Well, I'm gonna watch Dragon Ball to start with. And I see it has 153 episodes whoa!

Do not listen to the ppl who say start with Z. It's literally them saying "start with the sequel".
Watch Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Kai, The two Super movies, and then start Dragon Ball Super at the beginning of the U6/U7 tournament. Look that up only once youve caught up.
Theres even a fan recut of Dragon Ball to cut filler, let me know if you're curious. You will not regret it.
I can understand why some nostalgia-heads are saying start with Z, but Z is 100x better if you start at the beginning.
No no no. I disagree.
The best option is reading the manga, from the start.
If you can't, I think watching Kai is better.
It does have a summary of Dragon Ball, to give you the context, and then you're good to go.
Dragon Ball anime has so many flaws (unlike the manga), that I can't honestly recommend it like this. It's so long too, and has a shit load of fillers.
Honestly no.

Yeah, I'm one of the jerks who likes Z better, but it's still better to see the world build up from almost nothing.
EDIT: Actually, I agree with Slaythe here
. The manga's the best, takes the least amount of time to go through, but it still feels great because Toriyama captures motion really well. Though I don't feel like the anime's too much worse though, though it's not a bad choice if you absolutely can't handle manga.

*washes mouth out with soap*
I'm gonna start and see if it is something for me, and if it is something I will want to invest time into. When I've finished Dragon Ball, I hope you don't mind me asking what to watch next again.
But I'm confused now:
1) Dragon Ball
2) Dragon Ball Kai
3) Dragon Ball The Final Chapters
4) Dragon Ball Super movie 1
5) Dragon Ball Super movie 2
6) Dragon Ball Super

Yes this is the correct order. Also find a list of filler episodes for DB and skip them it will make the pacing much better.
Guys, for newcomers, in 2017 ...
Come on, he wants to know what DBZ is about.
Should he go through 153 episodes with robot fillers and the "puff puff" 80s anime scenes, or just watch the recap in Kai to get started ?
If he likes Kai up to the cell saga, he can discover the origins of Dragon Ball later on.
It's not like knowing what Yamcha did is "vital".
I suggested to him to watch some of the movies that are not canon to get the "feel" of the old school shows and see who the characters are.
I think it's the best.
I'm saying this because I tried getting some friends into it, and it didn't go well. While the ones that weren't put off and decided to read the manga ended up loving it.

This would be the best way. The reason to watch the Super movies first, before watching the Super anime, is because the anime of Super dedicated 27 or so episodes to a retelling of both movies, and while there are some differences, they look worse.
When you get to Super, if you want better clarification we can help you out, because there are in between episodes that aren't related to the retellings, that might be worth watching.
Either way, start with Dragon Ball. Then Kai.
Yes that fan recut of DB is amazing.
well whether you watch DB or not is a personal choice.... I GUESS. If it were up to me you absolutely should read the DB manga then watch Kai. The manga can be read in full in a week at your leisure.
EITHER WAY
Do not watch the original funimation dub of Z. Make sure you watch Kai

Read the mangas for DB and DBZ if you could. Toriyama's pace is very good in them, and things progress pretty fast.
IMO, DBZ is worth watching for the JP dub as it has Spirit vs. Spirit when Gohan goes SSJ2 and for Daisuke Gori as Mr. Satan.
For sure reading the manga would be ideal.
I love Dragon Ball as a whole.
I'm just aware that the original tv show has a lot of flaws for 2017 people. Which I can easily understand.
For somebody who wants to see what it's all about, I recommend going with Kai. Nothing stops them from watching / reading the origins later on.

Do it. The manga is fantastic.

Dragonball manga is why Yamcha is my favorite character in the series. Shame Teen Goku (beat up Piccolo the Demon King!) didn't get enough arcs. :/

Keep in mind the show changes a lot over its run, it becomes more and more action oriented as it goes on.

It's only complete in Japanese. I don't know about where they live, but in the US they've only released from Saiyan-Namek, no DB or anything after Namek.
But only the Z portion is colored?

No, they did DB too, but it's not in English and I don't think it's been released anywhere outside of Japan.
No all of it in japan, but you can think Viz for slacking.
