Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

I wouldn't say it's horrible to the point that I want to scratch out my eyes from seeing it, but it is a pretty bad sequel. So many plot holes, the new SSJ transformation was wack, the plot was dumbed down, and in the end, it was a mess.
Is it possible to watch DBZ with epilepsy?

I think GT had a huge amount of potential, but just didn't reach it. I liked a lot of the idea, but they weren't executed well.
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

:eh: , It gets as much criticism as the Star Wars prequels, I think it's suffered enough.
Just like with the prequels, GT had a lot of hype and fans were looking forward to it but end up being hugely let down. I do view GT as the Batman & Robin of the franchise since it was bad enough to kill the franchise. I think GT did poorly enough that Toei didn't bother to make another show. I guess the toy sales must have sucked as well with the ratings otherwise they would have done another one.

I don't even like Cell and I disagree.

They wanna turn up hours late and steal the show from the pros who had to die for the name." - Yamcha (DBWTF: Z-Rap 3)

"Over saturation is easy. Just drag the slider to the right and there you are: instant interest. And certainly, the majority of the public likes saturated color images. In fact, if you want to quickly create a popular image, simply over saturate the colors and increase the contrast. While you may not achieve a sophisticated image, you will achieve an image that will please a less demanding audience." - Alain Briot

I haven't watched all of Fairy Tail but I haven't notice any GT traits. Except for maybe the characters strengths being all over the place, and even then at least Goku had to go SSJ4 to beat some of his enemies.
If u currently check the Fairy Tail manga u would noticed them, GT is also like Kubo trolling Bleach....

Power of Feelings, the way Goku turned SSJ4 due to Pans tears....
Goku whoring the spotlight...
Trolling, Cell/Freeza nuff said, they come back only to get the Yammy treatment without the offpanel part..
bullshit/asspull: When Base kid Goku tanks Super Yi Xing Long negative energy attack iirc...that was so retarded and worse yet when he cant be hurt while holding genkidama, it was like Erza tanking Asumas Terra Clamare attack and then 1 shotting him, or Ichigo coming back from death and transforming into Hollow 2.0 and stomping Ulquiorra and also his Dangai transformation able to stomp Aizen.....
