They're annoying little Designated Hero godboys from a poorly written series. Of course they're going to win. They can blow up planets. They can be thrown through cliffs and not even feel it. They can be brought back from the dead over and over and over. And if all else fails, they pull a plot contrivance out of their ass.
Behold the power of bad writing.

Besides, they're trying to build this deadly serious drama thing on a comedy. Watch Dragon Ball some time. I can't take anything based on that seriously.
Also, for what it's worth, it wasn't "the second half" that he was forced to write, it was pretty much all of it. It was supposed to end after the Vegeta arc.
Last one for the night hehe I need sleepy
The man was a linguist, not a writer. His works show it. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
As for D&D in any form? Hello, the man wrote about fantasy once upon a time. Could we try being original and actually come up with something new? Everything for the most part in fantasy is some Tolkienesque biblical recycled mumbo jumbo.
DBZ. Won't even dignify that with a write up. BAd is bad. Speaks for itself.

Gandalf vs. Emperor Palpatine (sp?) from Star Wars
Goten vs. Sasami
Drizzt vs. B-ko (in powered armor)
Han Solo in the M Falcon vs. Ryoko in Rio-Oki (once again, sp?)
Strider vs. K-9
I love Tolkien (Linguist or not, I really do love his books.. it was those stories which sparked up my imagination full force in the fantasy sense..)
Forgotten Realms (havent really read much of anything by R.A. Salvatore.. I wouldnt really know whether or not he is a good writer)
DnD? Sorry.. but DnD is where the DM takes it.. if the DM decides to be tolkienesque.. they will do so.. if they decide not to.. they will do so.. its really up to the players to really want the setting presented to play within it. Most players can adapt though.. Please though, I would love to see your examples on how DnD (3rd edition at least cause I am only familiar with that) is so Tolkienesque.. I am really not seeing this at all.
*smiles and bows deeply*
Goku and Gohan would be to busy playing with them selfs. Haven't you ever heard that show from the next room over?
