Oh yeah. And as much as I like the exaggerated transformations with lots of angry screaming and thunder and stuff, the first time wasn’t a big deal. He went from black to blond in one panel, just like that.

It's not like Toriyama didn’t do this later on himself, but imagine how different Dragonball would be if the transformation would've been really rare and clean like that.

With Super Saiyan God I honestly thought they got this right. Okay, the ritual was a big cliche, but hey: Once transformed he looked basic again and the fighting was a lot of fun.

I expect to like Revival of F too, but damn these transformations are so ridiculously bad. Blue-haired Super Saiyan, Golden Frieza... bah.

Frieza especially still disappoints me so much, Coolers fifth form is so awesome and Frieza's just... bodypainted. I get the idea that he's supposed to be a Super Saiyan of his own race, but... meh.

PS. I can't be the only one who was constantly confused as a kid about Goku turning Super Saiyan in the intro from the very first episode, and realized "Oh, that's what it's supposed to be!" after he first did it in the show.

As a matter of fact I saw toys of Super Saiyan 3 before I saw the form in the show and thought Raditz would come back, become Super Saiyan and help Goku. Because he has the halo and wears his brother clothes. My my, what a mastermind I was back then. But I also thought Bardock was alternate-universe-evil-Goku, don't blame past-me for having too much fantasy instead of using logic. Because you would blame present-me too.
