Like holy shit, all the characters are terrible people except maybe Gohan and Trunks.

Soooooo much shit I enjoyed as a kid had a plot where a dude 'wins' a woman as a prize for completing the hero's journey, and I genuinely think it messed up the entire millennial generation

    Adam Sandler's acting career has been primarily "being a persistently annoying asshole until one gets laid."
