and not Z it must be different and just becuase some don't like changes that doesn't mean other fans are not enjoying it

It makes me so sad that people seem to think this is the best DB has to offer. Every DB/Z arc felt like an adventure with fun moments and a great set of characters. When you had 3 parties searching for the Dragon Balls on Namek I Couldn't stop watching. The group dynamics, character development and surprising moments made it such a great experience.

Dragon Ball Super has none of that. And because it's placed before the EoZ nothing of importance can happen.
Toriyama should go past the end of Z to not restrict things. By writing Super he has basically made the end of Z look strange so might as well just forget about it or change it.

The writers have no idea about what made the original so good which is why we'll never see anything you mentioned, regardless of when it's set.

Than guys why are you her when you hating Super all the time??? you can go in the Dragonball Z forum and talk there about Dragonball Z or something etc simply

Pointing out flaws in Super doesn't mean people hate it. I love super, but boy has it been sub par compared to it's previous series.

That might have something to do with the 2 movie rehashes that everyone already knew the outcome to, and the low stakes tournament. I think people just have an itch that isn't being scratched and it's causing a lot of irritability. This most recent arc is going in the right direction I think, but so far it's just set up, and I feel if this was taking place during the hay day of DBZ there would be other things going on and other characters doing other things while Goku was off in another universe.

I feel like the overall feelings for Super isn't that it's bad, it just feels lacking.

If you don't think it's a 10/10 show then Super's fanboys will accuse you of hating it.

What's wrong with wanting it to be better ?

You going around labelling people as "Super fanboys" isn't helping either.

You're probably right but what would you call someone who defends everything about it and accuses others of not knowing what they're talking about whenever they bring up a problem they think should be addressed ?

I don't think labelling is necessary at all though. Majority of the people here who do like Super like myself are aware of the problems. I don't think coining terms like "Super fanboy" or "haters" is necessary at all.

I'm hoping this arc will be tense. If shit really happens that Zeno itself gets involved then I can see some stake considering Zeno is the quick-tempered guy who destroyed 6 universes for whatever reason.

They play a important role on this arc stop bitching like a kid when you don't like it than don't watch it...Dragonball is not all about seriousness and fighting it is much more than that but people like you will never understand that sad for you
Much more than that? Much more what? Story? Comedy? Ecchi? Gore? Tragedy? Dragon Ball is famous for it's screaming, punches and explosions, it's not a Naruto or Hunter x Hunter. Super hasn't been able to provide more than 3 or 4 good fights and there's no tension in the current arc yet. Future Bulma is dead and we have Pilaf gang frolicking for 15 minutes every episode which does nothing for story. Pilaf and goten's comedy might be funny to grade schoolers, but shonen anime is not for little kids. It's for all ages, and that's where Super is lacking. They have transformed the series into Backyardigans.
Toyotarō: … I get the feeling I’ve just heard something amazing (laughs). Lord Beerus and Whis turn up in Dragon Ball Super, and have become an unsurpassable wall for Goku and the gang. What do the two of them mean to you?

Toriyama: Well… First off, right now I don’t have any plans for Goku and Vegeta to surpass Beerus and Whis.
