Would you like to see a post-GT movie?

Based on Goku's time at the Dragon Realm (or wherever he went)?

Didn't we get a post DBGT Special. Isn't that good enough. Okay being serious now. I would not. As I love hoe DB always ends with a potential sequel even though it'll never happen.

Boo Arc - Goku and Oob. Potential sequel. Never going to happen :lol: .

GT - Goku Jr and Goku being into the Dragon Realm. Never going to happen.

See. It's the high end note of DB.

It would be cool to see what happens between after the Shadow Dragon saga and Heroes Legacy. Seeing that GT is not very popular, I don't think a GT movie will sell well unless it's a OVA or TV special.

It's not actually post-GT, the events happen before the tenkaichi tournament at the end of DBGT.

I feel like if they made a GT sequel that takes place before Heroes Legacy then I would like to have Vegeta and the other characters be the main heroes. It make a darker and more serious show where the characters have to save the world without Goku and the Dragon Balls. If someone dies then they stay dead forever.

Wish the series during the Cyborg Arc stood like that. I also like how if King Piccolo killed someone they went to Limbo.

If I did, (somewhat interested in material with Goku Jr and Vegeta Jr), I would leave Goku's fate at the end of GT unanswered. It would take something out of the end of GT revealing that.
It is in his character to be rude and a bit crass. He's a hick, with no formal education. That is Son Goku. That is who he is.

Superman in an orange Gi was the bastard son of FUNimation. Its not The real character, it is as false as Chatku.

Hmm...honestly, I'm not sure. I don't really feel the urge to see Goku Jr. and Vegeta Jr. shine as much as I do for Pan and Oob, for whatever reason. And I'm not sure that having two new characters that are, from what we got anyway, somewhat pale imitations of the original, would be enough to carry the film.

I suppose it would be kinda fun if done right though. I have always wondered if after Legacy, if Puck started to train with Pan too.

I think the ending to GT made Goku Jr. and Vegeta Jr. become the new generation of Goku and Vegeta. Maybe there's a great-great-great-grandson of Tenshinhan, Kuririn and Yamucha as well. I think everyone is dead expect for Pan, Roshi, Dende, Mr. Poo, maybe #18 and #17. I guess Vegeta could be alive somewhere in the universe since he most likely left the Earth after Bluma pass away.

Why would Vegeta be alive? :eh:

Saiyajin live much longer then humans do and Goku is still alive at the end of GT as well.

I thought it was just that they stayed in their prime longer, but had roughly the same lifespan? Or is that a fan idea rather than a fact that I'm remembering? Either way, there's a 100 year skip there, and while Goku kind of has an in to still be alive (the whole possibly having merged with Shen Long or whatever the hell he did, thing), Vegeta has no such in.

Though, to be fair I guess, Pan shouldn't be alive 100 years later either...but...she is. *shrugs* I've always just assumed she's kind of the new Kame'sennin in someways though, and possibly did the same thing he did - whatever it is - to live so long.

Saiyans live as long as humans, and Goku is still alive because we don't know what happened to him after he left with Shenlong.

She should is 110 years-old. I don't think she will stay alive for much longer, though I guess her health is so good for her age because of her training over the years.

Would Ubb still be alive? He is fused with Buu, so he could live much longer then a normal human could.

He's not related to Goku so no. Toei doesn't like him nor do most media.

I honestly don't want to see anything after DBGT that isn't a complete reboot with new characters. After a certain point, you exhaust all of the possible reasonable, entertaining things you can do with a cast and setting.
Yamcha: Do you remember the spell to release him - do you know all the words?
Bulma: Of course! I'm not gonna pull a Frieza and screw it up!
Master Roshi: Bulma, I think Frieza failed because he wore too many clothes!

No thank you! I actually like the ambiguous nature of GT's ending. I don't want somebody coming right out and telling me the "official" explanation for the events. The ending of GT is a highlight of the entirety of the series (not just GT) for me. I love it the way it is.

Yeah, I would. I think enough time has passed for GT to become nostalgic, so maybe people would be interested in seeing it. Also, I wonder how GT-style animation would look like now, in HD. Other than that, I'll support anything new added to the franchise.

I don't think GT is nostalgic..in a good way.
