I'm basing most of my opinion on emotion, with GT's ending I get all teary eyed opposed to Z's ending where I'm left feeling like "huh". Regardless if its Kid Buu's reincarnation to me the series ends with Goku promising some random boy money (Mr. Satan's money) if he will live with him for many years. The proper ending to Z should have been Gohan or Goten taking up the mantle of earths hero.

I said in a previous post I prefer GT, its in my opinion a way better way to end the incredible legend of Dragon Ball. It may sound corny and sissy like but I get really sad when Goku is saying his good byes and especially when he is on Roshi's island for the last time.

I prefer Dragonball Z to Dragonball GT simply because it has a greater story than Dragonball GT does with 64 episodes, while there are over 200 Dragonball Z episodes to watch to keep me entertained.

Don't get me wrong. I still like Super Saiyan 4 always, even if I say Dragonball Z is better then Dragonball GT.

Kanzenban for sure. The whole Vegeta quote at the end doesn't bug me at all. It was just Vegeta's way of showing emotion for Goku. It would almost be too drastic had he turned into a "hero" character, and while I would have liked to see him call Goku "Goku" once in the show, out of friendship, it wasn't really too bad. It was just Vegeta's way of saying "'l'll see you later Goku." I like how Goku passes off Kinto-un which acts as a type of torch, mirroring when he received it way back in Dragonball.

Not to mention Uub is, in a lot of ways, is the new age Goku, even more so than Gohan or Goten. The family-less boy who is pure of heart and thrown into a world of chaos. He starts off as an abnormally powerful (considering the powers of his day) innocent kid who trains to awaken those powers. I don't think people give Toriyama enough credit, and treat Uub as another superflous character who doesn't serve much of a purpose. It was pretty clever the way he avoided the cliche of passing the torch to Gohan or Goten, and gave it to a character that even more closely resembles Goku as a kid.

I have never heard of Dragonball GT, and if I had, I would never acknowledge its existence.

Even though GT isn't canon by any stretch of the imagination, I hate Z's ending. Uub is just... ugh. I can't stand him.
I was Thanos before the MCU existed!
