What GT did better than Z

[dbzfan7]

I'd like to see some positive responses for the series, maybe some surprising answers and underrated opinions.

For me they did Piccolo's death way better. The beautiful theme that played, the moment between him and Gohan, it was perfect. I think it's the most heartfelt moment in the entire franchise for me. I tear up when I see it.

The ending.

Poignant but with a great sense of celebration and learning. A perfect way to round off the series and a great end to the physical dragon balls themselves. Right in Goku's butt.

Id say better out than in but seeing as he swallowed one earlier...yeah he'll be hitting SSJ5 after crapping that SOB out.

[Gokuden]

I know this may make sense, but it did the ''sense of loss better''. Everyone dying for good left and right.

Buu, Gokou, Piccolo, 17x2.

[JackyBoi99]

In my opinion, the ssj4 transformation was slightly better than the ssj3 transformation.

The baby and shadow dragon storys were very good but could have been executed a lot better

[Gonstead]

SSJ4 and it's transformation.
Baby and his abilities. Just plain creepy.
Seeing Cell and Frieza actually team up against Goku. (Better than that stupid Pikkon filler)
Piccolo's last moments with Goku and Gohan.
The Shadow Dragon arc, while flawed in some areas, was a great finale.
The ending.
A Hero's Legacy - Seeing all those gravestones of the Z family truly does remind you that even as great and powerful as they are, they won't be around forever.

[InfernalVegito]

The cathartic ending is a pure sobfest. Definitely worthy to be the final goodbye.

[Hellspawn28]

The ending was better in my opinion.

[Marco Polo]

The ending indeed.

[Fizzer]

GT was better at plots, and much better with the characters. I loved all grounded scenes where the characters were treated like real people. Because of that, GT was better at making the viewer actually feel things rather than just enjoy the action. The ending was great too, although now Z has a good ending in BoG.

[DonZ]

SSJ4 > all SSJ except for SSJ1
GT's ending was A LOT better than Z's ending. if the series was finished after the Cell arc, it would've been better.

[Blade]

In terms of base concepts and ideas, I'd say GT didn't do anything wrong apart from the Super #17 arc, which is fan fiction grade content (a bit like the war in Naruto with the reanimation jutsu, which I sense may have been inspired by GT).

In terms of how those concepts and ideas were executed, though? No dice - Z beats GT in execution every day of the week.

I agree, especially with how they pretty much brushed aside Piccolo's death like if it was nothing, treating Oob like he was Yamcha, and letting Goku hog all the spotlight from everyone (even Vegeta). Brilliant.

GT actually screwed DragonBall a lot more than Z's Buu Arc. Positive, no. Kiddin.

Better than Z eh?

Animation, nope.
Art, nope.
Plot, inconsistent af
Ending seemed forced for me. GT was ALL about GOKU, & ending reflected just that. Nothing great IMO. Very reason why most hate GT is Goku hogging spotlight all the time. The ending was no different, yet gets a pass. Rofl.

Only positive would be Majuub. Even that gets screwed by TOEI as the process was rushed without any build-up & utter pointless in future battles.

[Blade]

Animation, nope.
Art, nope.

Like every Dragonball series, there were certainly some real stinker episodes in regard to animation, but on average, I think the art in GT is of a higher quality than Z.

I guess it's all subjective, as some people find it all a little bit too shiny, or don't like the particular colour palette they went with, or really hate the character designs - but for me, the look and feel of the series are standout aspects.

In my opinion, the gloss and packaging was all there, as GT looks and sounds the part - but on the whole it flatters to deceive.

I still don't understand this 'criticism'. Goku has always been the main protagonist of Dragon Ball - yes, he ducked out here and there - but it almost always comes back to Goku. It made total sense for the series to end as it began - with Goku.

GT's ending makes a point to visit all the friends he'd made over such a long journey and create a wonderful farewell for the character. Just because some fans whine that Goku gets too much attention, that doesn't mean they're going ignore what the series has always been about.

It doesn't get a 'pass'. It doesn't need one.

[TheGmGoken]

Though honestly they could have shown better flashbacks. I like the reanimated Goten one. But many characters was missing. Like Vegeta.

[Low Tone G]

For me the ending of GT was the most wonderful moment of DB franchise. I can never resist to cry on it. Piccolo's moment with Gohan was also beautiful, and the Goku & Piccolo relationship had a nice development in GT.
