In all seriousness, I've sometimes wondered about the media that the current generation of D&D players consumed in their formative years. Dragon Ball Z is utter nonsense to me that makes me want to yell "Get off my lawn!" but I can't deny its popularity. Gygax and others were inspired by the likes of Conan, Jason and the Argonauts, The Dying Earth, Lord of the Rings (even if he denied it at times), and others. The current crop of players were influenced by Harry Potter, Dragon Ball Z, and whatever else those young people are into these days and I wonder if it makes a difference in what they expect from the game and how they play.
