Original ways in depicting fights, like the special Kamehameha slide against Kefla to give one example, are an important aspect of the story telling and the show within DBS. It's one of his strong features and why it stands out. Is that a shame?
Yes, it's a cool little bit in an aggressively boring story where characters are pointlessly holding back for no good reason for fake tension sake until they're using rom hacks to instantly fix themselves back up for the next dumb spectacle.
Dragon Ball was never high art, but it wasn't just a stupid, vapid fighting series for most of its original run. Super is little more than a collection of occasionally cool animation showcases connected by plots that range from self-plagiarism to mediocrity to surpassing Mass Effect 3 in writing incompetence.
That's a pathway they've shosen to go from end DB / start DBZ onwards. The franchise is best known for its epic fights, so why change a winning formula? Do you expect MUI Goku to go on a search for Dragon balls with a radar?
It has nothing to do with Super specific. I have the impression you are showcasing everything within your arsenal to bring Super down. That's your good right. But this frustration doesn't bring you anywhere.
Who is MUI Goku?
