Anyone else not a fan at all of how the Dragon Balls are handled now?
So by Super Hero, Bulma has established a monopoly over the Dragon Balls and sets out to collect them immediately before anyone else can, and then holds them, presumably so bad guys can't gather them and use them for bad wishes.
She also occasionally uses them for selfish wishes, like making her butt bigger, and decides who gets to use them and for what wishes.
And she only lets her friends use them.
Why is anyone okay with this?
I feel like this very, very much goes against the point of the Dragon Balls. I feel like Shenron himself and anyone involved with the creation of the dragon and the Dragon Balls should be pissed they are being hoarded and controlled in this manner, that this woman uses tech to find them all fast and then holds them, preventing anyone else from gathering them and preventing anyone she decides shouldn't get to use them from using them, and only allowing her close friends to use them?
But then Dende is totally fine with this arrangement?
I know bad guys have wanted to use the Dragon Balls for evil in the past, I know some have, but I'm not a fan of this at all. Earth's mystical wish granting orbs locked away only for the main characters to ever use, while one of them keeps using them selfishly and nobody has any problem with this at all.
I already didn't like what they did with Shenron in Super, turning him from a giant, powerful, mysterious, majestic dragon into a bumbling scared fool around Beerus (yes even if it makes sense, it kind of ruined Shenron's character for me), and now this.
They took one of the coolest and most well known parts of Dragon Ball and changed it so it's not cool or mystical anymore. Now it's just another thing that only Goku and his friends ever get to use or know about, a magical thing they take away from the rest of the world and hoard just for themselves.
I thought people already didn't like how Goku and his friends were the only ones making wishes on the Dragon Balls and how they kept basically cheating to collect them with the dragon radar so no one else could use them, and now they've made that even worse. Now it's quite impossible for anyone else to ever get them or ever make a wish on them... ever.
They went from:
There are seven magical orbs, scattered around the world. It will be beyond difficult, but if you find them all and summon the Eternal Dragon, your greatest wish will come true.
To:
Goku and Co.'s personal wish granting dragon and orbs, hoarded until they need to use them.
I hate this. Does anyone else not like this?
