UnfairRepresent 01/22/18 3:32:50 AM #1:	"Dragonball Evolution marked a very painful creative point in my life. To have something with my name on it as the writer be so globally reviled is gut wrenching. To receive hate mail from all over the world is heartbreaking. I spent so many years trying to deflect the blame, but at the end of the day it all comes down to the written word on page and I take full responsibility for what was such a disappointment to so many fans. I did the best I could, but at the end of the day, I dropped the dragon ball. I went into the project chasing after a big payday, not as a fan of the franchise but as a businessman taking on an assignment. I have learned that when you go into a creative endeavor without passion you come out with sub-optimal results, and sometimes flat out garbage. So Im not blaming anyone for Dragonball but myself. As a fanboy of other series, I know what its like to have something you love and anticipate be so disappointing. To all the Dragon Ball fans out there, I sincerely apologize. I hope I can make it up to you by creating something really cool and entertaining that you will like and that is also something I am passionate about. Thats the only work I do now. Best, Ben Ramsey. How would you feel as a human being if you created something that was widely panned as an example of one of the worst things of all time in that field? --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair. https://imgtc.com/i/14JHfrt.jpg <cite>UnfairRepresent posted [p:894547134] in DBZ fans: ...

How would you feel as a human being if you created something that was widely panned as an example of one of the worst things of all time in that field? If I had given it a sincere effort in trying to make it as good as possible, then I would feel disappointed that others didn't like it. I would probably apologize, move on and try to do better. If I had just wanted to make money, then I wouldn't really care what critics and fans had to say, as long as I was getting paid. And isn't that kind of what happened with DBZ Evo? The writer admitted he just had a business mindset, except he then felt bad about it in the end. That doesn't reall make sense to me. (Btw, was DBZ Evo really that bad?
