      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

        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.

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

        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.

          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?

        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.
