Red, is that you?

Gorgeous shots. Made my day better looking at it.

Here's the art he made for me; I didn't grab it earlier like a dummy. Again, this is @bogtwarog (insta)'s art:

It's just like my friend explaining his excitement for Pacific Rim: "I don't care if the writing is good or not. I want to see giant monster fights."
If the writing IS good, it's incidental to the purpose of the film.
Even when the writing should be good, feelings are stronger factors for enjoyment

Most DBZ fans aren't going to argue the writing is brilliant because people don't watch the show for clever writing. People watch the show for how it makes them feel, because OP nonsense fights feel cool to watch, and the goofiness becomes part of the charm.

... But to my friend, it was a weird, disjointed moment whose timeline didn't make a lot of sense (and the fact that like two people didn't get poisoned?)
I can recognize the flaw now that it's been pointed out to me, but the emotion of the moment when I first experienced it is more important to me

I remember a friend discussing the moment when Kefka poisons Doma in FFVI; it's a really beautifully arranged moment for me, showing his horrible depravity, with the music reflecting how one little action explodes into enormous consequences, a single strain turning into a symphony of disaster...

I think a lot of it is more about how experiencing the story made you feel. When there's jarring holes, those will snag some people and pull them out of the story, but other people will still be caught up in how the story is making them feel despite story issues.
