Once again Super and GT not being compatible does not wipe GT from existence. It’s still a series that exist. No different than any other franchise that ignores certain sequels.TheGreatness25 wrote: ↑Fri Oct 15, 2021 7:30 am Not to start something else up, but I wasn't talking about canon in my previous breakdown of why I felt badly for GT. It was more about feeling duped. Toei spent years selling its merchandise and at least had its chips in GT (so to speak). Then one day, it was suddenly like, "Thanks for buying the merchandise and supporting this product. But you can forget all about it now because it wasn't good enough, and you can spend money on this new one!" That's just how it felt and that's what I didn't like. You can sell a new product without crapping on the old one.
And seriously where did they crap on GT? Did someone at Toei say “GT was a mistake!” You’re making up issues in your head.
Only Sabat and Schemmel really promoted Kai as superior. And why wouldn’t they? They had more creative control, they understood the story better, they improved as actors. Schemmel doesn’t exactly hide that he has a low opinion on Barry Watson as a producer.Funimation does this too. When Kai was coming out, it was, "Oh! We were so terrible on the first run! Boy, what a bad job! Har har! Kai is the real deal! The definitive one!" Yeah, obviously, but there are people who liked their original dub and supported them through that and defended them when others were saying how awful they were. I can imagine how those fans felt when the crap that they supported was being talked down about by the damned people who made it. Or with every release that Funimation has, they use the past releases' inadequacies to promote the new one. Well, thanks, dicks, but you're the ones who put them out like that and you took our money while claiming it's the best, but now you're saying the complete opposite. I can't stand when a company doesn't stand by its products because it makes the people who supported those products feel like they were taken advantage of. And that's a real thing.
FUNimation as a company may have focused their attention on Kai when it was the new current thing but it was more of “Dragon Ball Z with no filler!” not “Haha Z’s dub sucked we got it right now!” Since Kai has ended there’s definitely way more focus on Z again because well it sells better.
Well if you enjoy GT that would be a reason. Seriously, this is what I mean by being so overdramatic.. Just haven't once touched any of my three GT releases sitting around since Super came out--why would I?
“Oh nooooo now that the current Dragon Ball series ignores GT I can’t watch GT anymore even though I liked it before!”
