Just post here realizations that you wound up having that basically ruined shows.

Here's the one that led me to create this thread:
The most powerful forms of the primary fighters in Dragonball Z turns their hair to blond and their eyes to blue.  Both are the most well known criteria Hitler thought of as belonging to the master race.

... don't we already have this thread? Something about nitpicks?

That doesn't ruin Dragonball for me one tiny bit.

But it amuses me somewhat that you would be bothered by the external appearance part of this but you apparently miss the fact that in no uncertain terms it was explicitly because of their race that they were the most powerful fighters.

it's actually a pretty sound theory considering Japan's fascination with Hitler.

It's more potential for ruining.  It doesn't ruin it entirely for me, I just know I can't unsee it.

Sounds like a combination of TVTropes' WMG/Headscratchers/Fridge category.

Hitler is literally the secondary bad guy in DBZ movie Fusion Reborn, where he's blown up by the super saiyans

That's for movies. But yeah, these are similar enough they can probably be rolled together. But I'm not a fan of our recent trend towards mega-threadization.

Besides, nivek's thread is one month dead.

This could also fit in the anime thread.  Considering there is only one example so far.  ... I've only really watched anime in the last year.

Doesn't exactly kill the show for me, but I hate it when the main character of a show/anime gets a number of non-background girls falling all over them.  It is an easily pointed to contributing factor for my interest in watching them die off, if it happens within the first 2 episodes...

This feels like a good analogue for how people feel about over-centralization.

I don't wanna read anything grand into it, it's just that after you're away for a couple days it's hard to dive back into these 100+ page threads.
