I remembering loving GT. I loved the pan storyline, and the ssj4 design is sick. Super has never hit as hard as GT did, but thats probably just me

[–] deft@ttrpg.network 2 points 11 months ago

GT was superior I dunno why people don't see that.

[–] secondaccountlemmy@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

The GT ending hit hard and should be canon.

I couldnt follow super. Dropped it when Goku could beat a guy that could literally stop time by just going faster??

I’ve been watching dragon ball z since I was a kid. I never watched all of dragon ball, but I read the manga.

Dragon ball super was pretty good, too.

I may have missed a movie here or there, but I’m happy to see more dragon ball content.

[–] DarkThoughts@kbin.social 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I think most if not all of the old movies aren't canon anyway or in some form adapted into the show.

[–] M500@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I actually meant the dragon ball super movies. But dragon ball canon is all over the place, so I’m really just in it for goku doing the goku thing.

[–] DarkThoughts@kbin.social 2 points 11 months ago

The two Super movies are I think canon, introducing Broly as well as another character that has been teased into the canonical world. I'm not following the manga though, so no idea where it could even go from here either, but I do hope they continue the series. Overall I think Super is the best Dragonball we've had so far. It's just been too short.

Wasn’t GT an attempt to do a “kid” version and it basically went over like a lead balloon? What do they think will be different with the formula this time and why do they think people want to see kid fights?

Gt did not involve Toriyama, and the presence of kid goku is not why it's bad

Also, Dragonball. It literally started with kids fighting? Son Goku, the child Saiyan? Grandpa Gohan? Remember?

[–] TheRTV@lemmy.film 7 points 11 months ago

Yea, but the context is different. Dragon ball is the journey of children into young adulthood. Daima is literally what GT did. I get it though. It's meant to look cute and fun and keep a decades old series alive. Super involved Toriyama and that was not good. Entertaining and better than GT, but not good.

The creator being involved means nothing in terms of quality. Just look at George Lucas and the Prequels.

I never watched past episode 1 of GT. Pure trash.

[–] mctoasterson@reddthat.com 6 points 11 months ago

I'll wait for abridged.

Cat loves food, yeah yeah yeah yeah

Oh great, another shonen where we get 3 episodes of screaming and bickering before we get to a 5-episode fight

[–] Potatos_are_not_friends@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Uh maybe in 2000s. Update your references grandpa

[–] ClarkDoom@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

This made me laugh. It’s been like 30 years since Dragon Ball was like that.

[–] DarkThoughts@kbin.social 11 points 11 months ago

I think Super had a decent pacing and not that typical stalling from the old ones.
