Re: "GT = Goku Time" is an exaggeration.

You're missing the point. It doesn't matter what the in-universe explanation is. Vegeta is a fictional character written by Toriyama. His in-universe motivations, decisions and appearance are decided by Toriyama You just contradicted yourself lmao. I just point out the "in-universe motivations...

Re: "GT = Goku Time" is an exaggeration.

It's a shame we never got another show that had Vegeta training and trying to keep up after his #1 speech instead of the lazy road GT took by just having him give up. I wonder how that would've turned out. :wink: :roll: If that wasn't bad enough, the writers went a step further by saying Vegeta cou...

Re: "GT = Goku Time" is an exaggeration.

Absolutely was Goku Time and that was a good thing. He already had left everybody in the dust, Vegeta explains later that he stopped chasing after Goku after that N°1 speech in Z.

Re: So I rewatched Dragon Ball GT

Finally someone who says the fights are slow! The characters feel weak, too. Not only are they slow but there's barely any choreography to them. Sure there is, Goku does at least a Ka Me Ha Me Ha in every episode he's involved. Love me some SSJ4 Kamehameha x10. Animation really well and you can act...

Re: Old artstyle vs New Artstyle 2.0

However, I still fail to see how them looking younger is necessarily a bad thing. For me personally it is. I like character/story/arc progression. I want to see characters age rather than making them look younger just for the sake of being able to continue with countless series/movies/spinoffs. Agr...

Re: So I rewatched Dragon Ball GT

You know full well that image does the difference no justice. These aren't that alike That's how Toriyama designed them. The CGI aura doesn't change the fact that they're essentially recolors. Also, how is Baby Vegeta overdesigned? It's just that Goku Black has lazy design. They stuck too much on h...

Re: So I rewatched Dragon Ball GT

Now lets switch sides and imagine that Super was Toei's brain child (since we know how much people love hating things non Toriyama). An evil green Kaioshin and an evil Goku? Wow, so original. A fat Winnie the Pooh knockoff, a lava eating robot, a big fat Lorax knockoff (Toppo), a Freeza clone? Seri...

Re: So I rewatched Dragon Ball GT

GT Vegeta was the perfect continuation... It was anything but. Vegeta would never give up fighting and pushing himself to new heights. Super's Vegeta has issues of its own but the core of the character was handled perfectly as we get to see the results of his reform by being able to keep up with Go...

Re: So I rewatched Dragon Ball GT

As chance would have it Episode 25 to 29 was to me my favourite part of the show because it involved other characters in the action for once. I went into GT really wanting to like it as I'm watching it in Japanese, cut out the episodes I hated (6-15) and even kept my expectations low but even after...

Re: Has Super impacted your opinion on GT at all?

I think Super's in a much worse place with Toriyama choosing to be minimally involved. GT was free from those restrictions which is why they were much more creative with the designs and stories. It's his involvement that has skyrocketed the franchise to new heights , both financially and creatively...

Re: Has Super impacted your opinion on GT at all?

When some of the most popular main characters become a chore to watch, it proves that something went wrong along developing these characters. It's a shame it ended up the way it did as GT had the freedom to do whatever it wanted (being set after the manga) and really great ideas on paper but they u...

Re: Has Super impacted your opinion on GT at all?

Every arc of GT was ripping off something. -Arc one, lets bring back kid Goku and redo the original DragonBall hunt in space -let’s give Goku and Vegeta new forms and let them fight with the backdrop of the Garlic JR arc and the villains motivation based off a filler story that was already explored...

Re: Has Super impacted your opinion on GT at all?

I have a hard time liking GT due to how underused most of the characters are and how overpowered Goku is. And besides, do I even need to mention that fucking ending that is so schmaltzy? I don't think Toriyama would have ever written an ending like this. Super might have bad writing at times, but a...

Re: Has Super impacted your opinion on GT at all?

Super made me realize why I always viewed GT as sort of fan servicey. You can tell Toriyama was involved in Super. That charm and that obvious simplicity is missing from GT. Also Super does the characters far better. Goku in Super is far more reminiscent of the Goku from the original series. GT's G...

Re: GT vs Super [POLL]

I mean, first poll had a hundred GT votes show up in a span of 10 minutes. Nothing fishy there. I mean, not that I care anyway, it's a stupid poll. But some of you seem to be taking any criticism of GT really personally lately. This was the second poll in the span of a few days. No one's triggered ...

Re: GT vs Super [POLL]

Now I'm suspecting GT fans to cheat again, moreover since GT suddenly catched up to 40% after it was really close to 30% before Rob04900 said my poll is not impossible to cheat on lol There really is no point to cheat on such poll, if your favorite option doesn't win it's not the end of the world i...

Re: GT vs Super [POLL]

Not to sound like a prick or anything, but I've watched all of Super and even I don't remember half of those fights It's impossible that you don't remember half of those fights, especially with the dub of the arc airing right now. Super is also more recent than Z or GT. I'm pretty sure nobody even ...

And Gt was only consistently bad in fight scenes. Baby vs Goku is the only remotely compelling fight in the whole series Goku vs Ledgic Goku vs Rildo Goku vs Super 17 Goku&Pan vs Oceanus Shenron Pan vs Haze Shenron Goku vs Eis Shenron Those were all good fights. Especially Goku vs Rildo was ver...

Re: GT vs Super [POLL]

Super also had the best fights by far (every one of them in the final arc 100 episodes into the show). Too...
