I think GT and Super anime are equally bad but I think for me I'd rather watch GT.....because its shorter... lol jokes aside, GT can be a sloge to watch since it has bad pacing but I much prefer the lore and concepts introduced in that show as well as moving the narrative and characters forward in t...

Eh. I find this whole matter of "you can't criticize or call Super bad because art is subjective and blah blah blah" such a non-argument meant to shut down any discussion, and honestly I tend to find it pointless. Literally nobody made that argument. People are saying you can't call Super...

That isn't the point I'm making. Stories aren't bad if you "have to turn your brain off". DB has never been highbrow or even middle brow. Power scaling and lore and things like that don't matter. It's not what storytelling is about. It's about catharsis, not consistency of information. Th...

If one needs to switch their brains of and not think to enjoy DBS anime, that means it isn't good. I know a lot of people who confess to liking "trash TV". Shows like soaps and Love Island fill that void for many. I'm not a fan of either, but enjoy watching Dragon Ball Super for that reas...

From the anime only. No not at all. I've been overly harsh on the anime but I feel it's creatively bankrupt with the whole show having pretty terrible writing, pacing and in my opinion ruins a lot of lore/characters. That said tho...once I initially watched and not liking the anime when it first air...

The problem with DBS Anime specifically is that they go overboard with comedy. They don't care if that comedy makes the character looks bad or contradicts whatever they learned in the past. Goku was known to meditate in the past, while in DBS Super Heroes movie they didn't care they only thought of...

I thought it was widely known that GT is non canon/side story/different timeline? Also with Super creating a bunch of inconsistencies I was also under the assumption that the EoZ was going to be retconned. DB as a whole is super inconsistent (no pun intended) So I assumed there was always different...

It's "forbidden" because Toriyama thinks the EoZ characters are too old. That's why events of Super happened during "10 year gap". I find his thinking stupid, but he's the author, so... whatever. His thinking is stupid and just one more example of how weirdly restrictive his app...

Although i still don't quite understand why they couldn't stick with RoF outfits. Perhaps it really is easier to sell Goku with whatever new color he has on his head as long as he is wearing the same old outfit everyone knows and loves. You are correct in your assessment in what Toei is thinking bu...

For marketing purposes since they want to bank on the DBZ popularity. I think it was a similar pit fall the franchise has always had where they have a knee jerk reaction to go the safe and familar route rather then evolve. For me I would have liked and think it would have been best to keep them in t...

I'm sick of Goku and the whole cast other then Pan, trunks, Gotten and Ubb to be honest. But like someone above said it's because of how the characters are treated in the modern age. I don't need to explain why Goku is a terrible character in Super, that point has been worked into the ground. I most...

When it comes to the coolest it's a no brainer because its 18. She was the most badass female in the series imo. But I actually think Bulma has her moments of being cool like future Bulma or when she invents or shows off new tech to the group. Her no bullshit attitude could be annoying to some but I...

Its hard to rank or rate DB as its been apart of my life for so long and bias is heavily skewed into one direction lol Dragonball and Dragonball Z - 8(anime) 9(manga)/10 Both in my opinion are classic Shonen and iconic. Each have strengths in different directions while the other has a weakness. Why ...

Interestingly Super has actually make me start to dislike the older media. Not in and of itself. In a Bubble I would just ignore it entirely. However any attempts to engage with the fandom devolve into the below arguments: Toei is the problem Toyotaro is the problem Toriyama is the problem It’s cau...

DBS is where I struggle with the franchise. I very much dislike modern DB starting from "yo son Goku and his friends return" and I must admit I'm overly negative towards its treatment. I show up every now and again when something new DB comes out to have discussions but I've learned to get...

You can't make the determination that the work was 'lazy' based on you simply not liking it. The series is produced on a short schedule and has to factor in not only the creative wills of the people making it but also the desires of the production committee as well as the original creator's decrees...

So, they put a lot of thought into and deciding on a characterization, while factoring in multiple factors and yet that's 'lazy'? Come on, I don't exactly care for Gokuu's characterization but to call it 'lazy writing' just because you, personally, don't like it is just silly. Yes of course I think...

I think its simple, lazy writing. They thought it was a good idea to play up the Goku clichés to add dumb comedy to the show. This doesn't work because Goku isn't the same character he used to be from the original DB. It plays off more as a parody then the character acting natural. DB is for a young...

I saw BoG in a movie theater with a bunch of DBZ fans and it ranks high as one of my favorite movie going experiences. They were into the film the whole time they laughed, gasped when Beerus smacked Bulma and then cheered when Vegeta got pissed, and chanted Kamehameha along with Goku during the cre...
