I agree when it comes to Super, it is very superficial, and it's dragged down by fan service. I can appreciate some of the ideas GT has to offer, but I wouldn't say they executed those ideas well. They tried to reset the power scale, but they didn't commit to it, so it just becomes confusing because it's all over the place. Both Goku and Trunks can go Super Saiyan, but they use the transformation sparingly for some reason. Rildo is stated to be more powerful than Buu, which is both laughably ridiculous and completely defeats the purpose of resetting the power scale in the first place.tonysoprano300 wrote: ↑Mon May 06, 2024 6:15 pm I think Super offers the superficial stuff that a lot of fans beg for whereas GT did not, Super has endless amounts of transformations, fight scenes, fan fiction concepts and power ups where as GT was heavily criticized for not giving us enough of those things.
People wanted to see Vegeta fuck shit up, not the GT version who continues along the path that was set up at the end of the Buu arc where he accepts Goku is better than him and makes peace with it. Look at any fan manga out there and you’ll always see the intense obsession with the surface level DB iconography jump off the page and truth be told that stuff really sells.
Not that I'm even upset about it, I like watching great action scenes as much as the next guy. I also like good stories though.
Now that Daima looks to be somewhat different from the norm of DB, its seemingly only served to piss people off
The stories are boring and don't seem to have a point. People here seem to like crapping on TFS, but they've been doing a pretty good review of GT recently. For example, there's one episode where Goku and Trunks are discussing bringing Pan back to Earth and switching her out for Goten, because they feel like she isn't cut out for these dangerous adventures. She overhears them, because there aren't any doors on the ship, and she proves their point by running away on a dessert planet. TFS pointed out that in a show that was written well, Pan would demonstrate why she is an essential part of the team, but all she does is almost get herself killed. Yet they still try to force this idea that they need her anyway. It just doesn't work. Then when imitating original Dragon Ball didn't work, they shifted into becoming more like Z.
When it comes to Daima, I'm actually fairly optimistic. While this GT 2.0 thing is definitely not where I'd take the series, knowing that Toriyama is heavily involved tells me it will be fun, at least. I expect it will be on par with the Super movies. Maybe not with the best plot in the world, but with good humor and charm, as well as some high quality animation. Maybe the Supreme Kai will be made into an actually interesting character too, since he's got such an important role in the story.
