Re: GT or Super? Which one is the best?
Shin's only problem was his inexperience, as far as I can see. Gowasu kept saying "Nah, Zamasu is juuust fine." after being shown beyond a reasonable measure that Zamasu was totally fucked in the head.Kanassa wrote:How's that inconsistent?

Re: GT or Super? Which one is the best?
I think even inexperience would allow Shin to know that letting Babidy take Gohan's energy was a bad idea. Whether he should of been able to see Zamasu's madness is debatable, but I was arguing on it being 'inconsistent'.Jinzoningen MULE wrote: Shin's only problem was his inexperience, as far as I can see.

Re: GT or Super? Which one is the best?
I don't have any problems with the first 15 episodes of GT, was entertaining in its way, I prefer way better than BoG rehash on Super.

Re: GT or Super? Which one is the best?
So far Dragon Ball Super was mostly GVT = Goku & Vegeta's Time, sucks for fans. GT was still a mere Goku's Time.
Re: GT or Super? Which one is the best?
Really GVT time? I personally remember when Bulma had a lot of plot relevance in the FT trunks arc, as well as Trunks himself. In fact most of the cast is actually used in Dragon Ball Super.Israelite Wolfman wrote:So far Dragon Ball Super was mostly GVT = Goku & Vegeta's Time, sucks for fans. GT was still a mere Goku's Time.

Re: GT or Super? Which one is the best?
I've said: Mostly. Seriously read. Bulma gets the screen time cuz she's the brains of the cast, you don't expect the heroes to suddenly be able to fix a time machine or figure out how to locate the Super Dragon Balls. Future Trunks was still given less screen time in his arc than Goku & Vegeta in his own arc, they tried to take care of Zamasu & Black themselves telling him to sit on the sidelines.Gog wrote:Really GVT time?

Where is Gohan, a.k.a. A person in his physical prime whose potential is higher than both Goku & Vegeta, in this show? Being a useless minor character that everytime has the spotlight on him is shown to be "out of shape/quit fighting", same goes for Piccolo. The old cast shown in DBS are mostly depicted as background characters, if we didn't had the Yamcha & Krillin filler episodes recently you may have also see them as flat characters.
Re: GT or Super? Which one is the best?
I actually preferred GT because the cast was all basically out doing their own thing. It felt consistent with EoZ where Vegeta and crew weren't tagging along after Goku. I'm not a fan of Goku at all but I didn't mind it being the Goku show as long as it wasn't Goku & "Friends".Israelite Wolfman wrote:I've said: Mostly. Seriously read.

Re: GT or Super? Which one is the best?
The direction GT went made sense. Goku was the only one with the free time and the desire to fight that kept him relevant. Every other character had no real reason to train. It made sense he'd be there to look after Pan because of his free time. GT could have been better though if Goku was an adult the entire time and just kept the mentor role to Uub (not Trunks), and Pan. That would have been more interesting even if the focus on Goku was still the same. Super doesn't really give them much excuse to why Piccolo, Tenshinhan, Goten and & Trunks do absolutely nothing though. They're still in their primes, just aren't relevant at all. Super also made Krillin seem weaker and more insecure than he was in Z which is a step down as well.TheMikado wrote:I actually preferred GT because the cast was all basically out doing their own thing.

Re: GT or Super? Which one is the best?
That's one of many reasons I prefer GT over Super. The characters have changed, as opposed to Super, which just feels stagnated.TheMikado wrote: I actually preferred GT because the cast was all basically out doing their own thing.

Re: GT or Super? Which one is the best?
Logic tells me that Super has better story, humour and characters.
Logic tells me that GT has better art style, animation, music and voice acting.
Emotions (mostly nostalgia) make me like GT more.

Unless the threats come to him, Goku is usually just bored or with North Kai.

BoG is based on Beerus's vision and his desire to fight a Super Saiyan God
RoF is based on Frieza's Resurrection and thirst for Revenge
U6T is based on Champa and Beerus trying to out do each other without blowing up the universe on accident
Black arc is based on Future Trunks coming back because of the plan of a corrupted and insane Kai/

Re: GT or Super? Which one is the best?
It doesn't have Super's high highs, but at this point it can boast a more consistent track record on at least art and storyboarding -- probably animation as well.TheUltimateNinja wrote:GT has better animation? Now that certainly isn't logic.
I'd argue that, more than just being consistent in those first two areas, it has some pretty high highs in storyboarding/art that Super will have trouble topping. It gave Dragon Ball a few extra bits of visual iconography in its short run. Super has some very excellent action cuts, but I can't picture many individual shots.

Re: GT or Super? Which one is the best?
I'm not talking about their best moments, on average I think Super still comes out ahead. Sure, it has some pretty bad moments, but GT has moments that are even worse in both art and animation like the scene where Goku eats the 4 star dragon ball. The only thing in Super I can think of that was definitely worse than most of GT is the first version of Goku vs Beerus on King Kai's planet, and that's only in terms of art rather than animation. Also, the reused animation sequences are much more obvious in GT.Cipher wrote:It doesn't have Super's high highs, but at this point it can boast a more consistent track record on at least art and storyboarding -- probably animation as well.TheUltimateNinja wrote:GT has better animation?
