If he has a larger role with MGR 2, we can kiss any chance of that spin off bringing some sort of life to the series. That's part of why I liked the game so much, he really is just a poison at this point.
The further away from MGR2, the better.

The fact that his attempt to do the things in the PT he couldn't in the OT, was a very flawed attempt that was quite out of touch with as I said what many fans appreciated about the OT, doesn't make it less star wars. It just makes it less good and/or not appealing to many.
^See, I can understand that. I have no issues with you saying that, even though my feelings about it are more nuanced (like Big D's). Btw Lucas didn't direct ROTJ either.
I don't know if Toriyama is anime's Lucas. I think it holds up the most in terms of not being that in touch with the entirety of its fanbase, BUT, it's kindof an unfair comparison, because Toriyama has a franchise that's pretty damn effected by its western version. And I have no idea how the japanese percieve what he does.
So I feel like the parallel from a western pov doesn't hold up.
I personally think Peter Jackson is the new Lucas. I loved Lord of the Rings so much, and I utterly despise the hobbit "trilogy" (put as much mocking inflection in that last word as you can imagine).
Toriyama has done some Lucas-esque editing though. For instance, entirely switching up the details of Goku's origin in his Dragon Ball Minus manga special. And apparently reviving Frieza in the new movie when it's been well established in DB lore that the Dragon Balls can't resurrect anybody that's been dead for a year or longer. So yeah.

@Fathotel Viggo Mortensen nailed it when he spoke about it.
Lucas messed around in a different medium and the response was accordingly much more radical. ESPECIALLY because he refused to release the OG theatrical version, which I think is an utter **** move for people. At that point you're not just correcting your own material, you're trying to correct other people's experience, and that's that disrespectful step too far imo.
I have absolutely no words for how ****ing asinine that would be.
@Ang & Crisis Then what's the problem, Frieza was never revived before by earth's balls was he?
Damn rightThe further away from MGR2, the better.
There is, yeah. But I wonder if Namekian Dragon Balls don't have that limit...Isn't there a one year limitation on using the Dragon Balls to wish somebody back from the dead?
