You asked for reasons why I thought DB Super was irrelevant, and I did just that.

Soppa Saiyjins from Dorgou Ballru Zetto is my favorite transformation everah, especially when Trounksoru did it in front of Seru and when Bejita did it when he faced Jingonigen-hachigo. But for real, I use the FUNi pronunciation. - Soppa Saia People

But it's all very poorly articulated and vague, to the point where it's impossible to discuss.

Oh, is it? I'm sorry you feel that way.

Jury's still out. Super has vastly superior world building but it's making some of the same core mistakes GT did (and Buu saga to an extent). Overall, the franchise is still way past the Piccolo-Saiyan-Freeza-Cell peak.

Excuse me sir, but you've seemed to mention the Cell Saga, I personally believe that, that was a mistake, and you won't mention it again. As for the thread, I haven't actually watched GT, and plan so to, so Super win's by default

You don't get your fan card until you've watched GT through at least once. I'm going to ask that you leave this website forever...

Seriously though, go watch GT. Isn't it up on Funimation's site?

I don't need my fan card, I stole it. *Hmmph* I am Gog, so I can't leave until the ones above me kick me out.

I'll go watch it, is it free?

Maybe? I don't see why not, I'm pretty sure DB and Z are both free on their site. Check it out if you can.

So far Super is worse animation wise (Some episode look good, i admit, but other...bleh) and make Goku more idiotic then ever, and made Chi Chi b.tch again. And it didn't made good job with introducing new Universe, Hit is ok, but...did we really need another Saiyan, and Freeza clan member? Who is exactly like Freeza, if he decided to become politician (Start problem, and offer to fix it)

You should stop getting so defensive when someone criticizes GT.

No thanks I'm good, besides the same could be said about the Super anime defense force.

It can, but they weren't relevant to my point.

But you cut my full post which was a response to a legitimate question. There's been plenty of criticism in this thread that I have no problem with . You took my one post out of context and then modified it by cutting the ending out so it's completely out of context. I don't see how that's allowed on this forum??

All that I cut out was:
TheMikado wrote:The idea of the Dragonballs themselves getting fed up from over/misuse and actually becoming their final enemy is brilliant.
Which doesn't really provide any more context, considering it's a vague statement.

I quoted only the first part of your post because that was the part I wanted to address, not whether or not the idea is brilliant. You dismissed the criticism as "everyone likes to hate on GT", which is just completely silly.

And I don't understand why you're trying to start something.

I don't see how I'm starting something at all. My post was a response to a specific question which you once again failed to post in it's entirety. The question was what's wrong with the concept of the shadow dragons? That was my response, it's even more bizarre because I actually give my own criticisms in this thread that yet you claim I get defensive when GT is criticized so it's presumed I must be defending GT against myself or your statement is inaccurate. Which is the case?

You know what, I'm dropping it. This is getting unnecessarily petty.

Good luck with that. I couldn't sit through it while trying to watch it again a few months ago and this is coming from someone who's defended GT countless times.

How are Toei OK with them letting people watch it for free ? wouldn't that hurt their DVD and Blu-Ray sales ?

GT

Id rather watch paint dry & find some entertainment value but not in Super

GT suffered frm identity crisis. Marketed as Z (essentially Toriyama's sequel), but turned out to be so only on platonic level with TOTAL UN-TORIYAMA direction. Outta nowhere, again reverted to vintage DB style & ended as Goku' show

Super on the other hand flat-out tarnishes every goodwill of DB Fandom right off its trolly characters, ugly designs, mediocre fights, juvenile, forces humor & pathetic soundtrack.

GT any day

Not arguing with your taste here, but these are the exact problems I have with gt, not super
