i like the goku black saga only if i let myself believe it’s an allegory that expresses you can’t always win and nothing you can do can impede the inevitability of the end

#snap chats #it's a stretch but shush #i dont remember if dragon ball's done a plot like that before- probably not if i remember right #if i was big brained enough i could probably make an actual argument #it's also hard to make this argument since f. trunks' timeline Doesn't end naturally- it ends because zamasu decides it must end #and then eventually zeno decides it must end #but subtracting the inevitability of the end??? it could be a nice allegory for accepting losses #like i say this every time but they do technically lose in the goku black saga- or at least it's a draw #because zamasu did get his wish: he created a universe where only one god could thrive #of course he was defeated but at the cost of f. trunks and mai losing their timeline #idk i think about the goku black saga a lot #there's just so much potential and so much you could do with it #so much time they had and they didn't use it all that well #i think i just want everlasting consequences in DB that'd be cool then it'd feel like conflicts actually matter #dont pay attention to me i like to try to make dragon ball have more meaning than it does #i just had a long convo with my brother talking about DB and how it executes plots and how it deals with Consistency #im gonna go write forreal now i know what i wanna write ok BYEBYE
