Support New Series If GT Was Non-Canon ?

Post by PrinceVegetto » Thu Aug 29, 2013 6:37 pm

Seeing fans say DBGT is non-canon because Akira Toriyama didn't make it, makes me wonder would you support a new sequel with Toriyama on board ? Or do you feel DBGT is a good enough sequel ?

Wasn't it recently stated that Akira considered GT as an alternate storyline anyways?

But I am sure everyone here will support a new DB series especially if Toriyama was involved.

DBO gave as a good enough glimpse (which likely came from Toriyama) to what happened after the series, and as I'm pretty fine with it, I don't need another series which would contradict the shit out of DBO and most likely the original series itself.

Maybe they can do something with the original Dragon Ball anime, like a special or another movie.

That'd be nice. I'd love to see something set back when Goku was a kid again.

I'll support any new Dragon Ball series/production they're willing to give us, at least long enough to give it it's fair chance.

I think AT helping out on a new show would be cool. It's not common for a original creator to return back to their franchise like with Evangelion for example. It been almost 16 years since GT ended and I think Toei could do a new show now since times have changed since 1997. I think a true sequel to DBZ with AT is what most fans want since that's what I remember on most older DBZ forums like 8 or 9 years ago. If AT does make his own sequel to DBZ then I would just view GT as a Anime only sequel and not canon to the manga.

With DBO apparently ending without an actual end to the story, I'd totally accept a DBO anime adaptation that removed the MMO gameplay requirements: wishing for transformations, combat buffs, mundane quests and even things like the "Popo Stones"...unless repurposed or something. Anything to give the storyline a proper ending, as I HATE cliffhangers with a passionate passion.

DBO is also shit.

Unfortunately, GT may be the best of the post-Z stories.

He's probably referring to the Bardock special. Zarbon was the one who first recommended destroying Planet Vegeta because the saiyans were rapidly growing in strength.
It was actually Beerus disguised as Zarbon #StayWoke

Like with Freeza, where he starts off over 10 times stronger than all his henchmen except Ginyu (because...well, just because), then we find out he can transform and get even more powerful, and then he reveals he can transform two more times, before finally coming out with the fact that he hasn't even been using anywhere near 50% of his power. Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.

What's with the BOG hate? I don't think anyone other then Kei17 has seen the movie. You can't judge a movie based on wikipedia pages.

It also seems to be the 'cool' thing to do at the moment, for some bizarre reason.

What exactly is a "cool" thing to do? Since I've hated BoG long before most people have. I even made TOPICS about it. So what is a "cool" thing to do? I mean you can't just say these people opinions are wrong just because a lot of other people don't like the overview or plot of the movie(most bash the plot not the movie). I can say the same to everyone who likes or protect the movie. How about we all like dbz because it's cool to do so instead of following our opinions on the series,

I would support a new series if Toriyama was behind it.

I think some people only hate Super Saiyan God because it (even if just temporarily) puts Goku alone over Ultimate Gohan whom a lot of people deem unsurpassable for some reason.

But then, theres also the look that people don't like because they were expecting something super extravagant and finally the whole process of how one attains the form which is a hit or miss depending on who you ask.

That being said though I like Battle of Gods so far (and SSJGod) and I can't wait untill I finally get a chance to see it. The best things to come out of the movie to me are Beers and Whis and also the whole twelve universe thing. I wouldn't mind another series or movie just so long as it doesn't completely rule out GT if its goes beyond the end of Z.

What don't you like about DBO, isn't the fact that basically everyone is a Saiyan, or the Namekian redesign?

No, he just doesn't like the fact that Goku and Vegeta can blow up a star and cause a supernova.
