Talk:Culmination of Hope Goku (GT)/@comment-40047108-20190726080043

Somewhat unrelated:

I like to think that people are starting to appreciate GT more, because every DB series had continuity problems (GT actually didn't have as many as Super)  and GT actually had the best character development, stories and creativity when it comes to transformations. People hated it for dumb stuff like that stupid rap song that was just in the american version, or because they nerfed the powers (which DB Z did many times) or things that simply shouldn't have mattered that much. The truth is, TOEI actually did good stuff with the license, sometimes better than Toriyama in my opinion. In this series they actually respected Piccolo, they explored the lore without changing core suff (saiyans are way more civilized  in the Broly movie for example), they gave consequence to the Dragon Ball Wishes and Goku's personality is developed and actually more similar to the one from the original Dragon Ball series, among other things. Same with Bardock's movie, which is a better version of the character that actually makes sense with how saiyans were supposed to be... and actually more fitting than the canon version since the version that Frieza remembers in both manga and series is the Bardock from that movie. In Super Broly's movie he doesn't even see Frieza face to face, making  Frieza remembering him absurd.

Super is great, and the animation was amazing in the last chapters. Many ideas like 17 and Hit were quite good (others originally good but poorly delivered like Frost), but it also lacked so much sense in many things, has shallow transformations, lots of filler and has the most boring and bland antagonist I've seen (Jiren). Amazing fight though, and the Goku/ Frieza alliance was something I predicted and waited with patience (it was worth it) but I still prefer GT and I doubt that Toriyama will deliver a better ending. I certainly felt that the people involved with GT had more love and pasion for the franchise. Anyway, just my opinion.
