This article explores the complex relationship between the popular fan-made parody Dragon Ball Z Abridged and the official Dragon Ball Z franchise. While Abridged has introduced many to the series and garnered its own devoted fanbase, it has also created division within the fandom, fueled conflict between fans and creators, and blurred the lines between parody and original work.
TeamFourStar, the creators of the fan-based parody Dragon Ball Z Abridged, has garnered its own audience while getting several fresh eyes interested in the official release. But at the same time, it caused irrevocable damage to the entire Dragon Ball community.
Dragon Ball Z could only improve based on the criticisms of Dragon Ball and inspire callbacks by executing past ideas again, like the Red Ribbon Army, but better. Meanwhile, Dragon Ball Abridged creates its callbacks within its series' continuity and addresses common complaints fans have always had about the original series, providing commentary most parodies freely express. Abridged is reliant on hindsight, and it has no choice but to be.
Everyone Has A Blame, But Here’s How We Move Forward All Parties Involved Need To Be Better The companies have justifiable issues with TFS, especially after the last handful of episodes straddled the line of “parody” in favor of just retelling Dragon Ball Z. And that’s a slippery slope because there is a subset of fans who not only prefer Abridged but also confuse the lore between the two.
