Dude... I saw some lil meme post on YouTube about DB fans, then I looked at the comments. Ppl started bringing up Krillin just to lie and insult him.
This guy in particular is completely wrong and barely anyone checked him.
Krillin was NOT turned into a complete joke. He played a brief comedic role like Gohan, Piccolo, and almost every other character did in the film. Then Krillin had his moments where he was more effective on Cell Max than other characters like Gamma 1. (Gotenks was the one who turned into a complete joke)
18 did NOT clown on Krillin for the entire movie. She thanked him for saving her, she put her arm around him to hold him up when he was tired, 18 tried helping him when Krillin rushed in to help Gotenks, and at the end she briefly argued with Krillin about arresting Gero's grandson then had a tug of war for Krillin with Gamma 1.
Krillin was NOT just running and hiding. He stayed out of the fight at first, then he jumps in to fight an enemy that the two strongest (Gohan & Piccolo) were having trouble with, he saves his wife by hitting Cell Max with a Kienzan that pushed it back when most attacks the others did prior just deflected off of the kaiju without pushing it back, he blinded Cell Max so that Gamma 2 could land his attack, he drop-kicked Cell Max, he helped Piccolo hold up Cell Max's foot by using all his strength and is shown to be exhausted later when 18 puts her arm around Krillin to help keep him up, he is the reason Orange Piccolo grows giant, he rushes in to save Gotenks despite having used up a lot of energy & he starts attacking a powered-up Cell Max again. Krillin didn't join the battle right away, but when he did join, Krillin put in work!
I don't care to correct ppl like this person & others by replying to them. They deflect when something is said about their favorite character or about how fans like them behave. And they usually deflect by lying about Krillin and Yamcha. They are choosing to be stupid because they know they can be. Some ppl like to be arrogantly dumb. I say let disingenuous ppl be stupid & delusional. They are a waste of time, energy, & space. They are worth nothing. We can briefly talk about their stupidity amongst ourselves, laugh, & move on.
