Why is DB Super so fucking goofy?

I mean, DB and DBZ always had humor, but Super is just ridiculous, almost like a parody.
>>
>>143584773
because toriyama has gotten old and senile. The studio may rewrite the script, but he is still the main writer of the show.
>>
>>143584773
Because Dragon Ball has always been over all light hearted. And while it can have emotional moments, it's suppose to be a comedy action. I honestly don't know how people wanted this show to be written. Ever since the anime got past resurrection F it's been taking off.
>>
>>143584773
Look at how long they've been doing this for, they just don't care anymore. They haven't for years.
>>
>>143584773
Because it's set in a different universe. to DBZ
>>
If you could rewrite Dragon Ball Super how would you do it, just out of morbid curiousity? I've since stopped watching but check in on the manga, which is pretty cool and skips most of the dumb shit.

Let's lay out like.. 2 rules

>Battle of Gods and Revival of F present an established rubrick

>Tourny arc still happens
>>

Only the buu saga comes close to Super in its goofiness.

Gohan fucking keeps up his training and Goten/Trunk age physically.

Let the others have spotlight.

I'd like to think that Toriyama has just stopped giving a fuck and is basically throwing out whatever plot he has in mind; the sooner he gets done with the DB franchise, the faster he can retire and earn some peace and quiet.

Not Super related. Found this pic. I know many people hate Broly due to the fanbase, but I sorta felt bad for him.

The guy never caught a break. He looks so miserable. And afraid once he fully transforms.

I feel like he'd be a gentle giant like android 16 had he lived a far more normal life.

Its muten roshi, he has always been a comic relief.

In Super every character is a comic relief, it gets tiring to watch.

Just like the rest of series deal with it or fuck off.
>>
>>143585140
He hasn't given a fuck since the beginning.
Reminder that goku once put villains on the moon and that frieza could blow up planets without breaking a sweat/powering up but is considered weaker than the enemies to follow. Characters, tails and abilities can disappear or be forgotten. Buu somehow doesn't win every battle, roshi can blow up the moon but can't fly. I still have a soft spot for it in spite of it's BS. At least DB didn't pretend to be serious for the most part.
>>
>>143585585
An astute observation, and I also like DBS at some points; it's times like Purple-Vegeta, though, that I just can't seem to fully understand what Toriyama is thinking.
>>
>>143584773
Toriyama got fed up with edgy powerlevelfags.

Are you retarded? That was obviously Toei filler.

The Freeza Saga had the perfect balance between humour, action and drama.

Androind Saga was a bit to edgy and relied to much on characters making stupid decisions.

Buu Saga had a good premise, but it seemed like Toriyama had no idea how to finish it.


Super is just nonsense after comic relief after more nonsense
>>
>>143584999
No rewrite, simply make the episodes 3 to 5 minutes long.
>>
I started rewatching DB and then will go onto DBZ after that but I could never find a good source for the apparently awful DBGT. How far is DB super into episode and season wise? I'm out of the loop

I'm doing the same, currently watching GT for the first time.
Considering how shit it is, just stream it, don't even waste HD space on it.

>>143586020
Yeah I downloaded both DB and DBZ since I enjoyed them most and they were the only ones i could find. where the hell do i stream DBGT decent quality?

>>143585913
We are on the third arc. Episode 50. The first two were summed up in two movies (Battle of God's and Revival of F)

If you want you could just watch those, but Super does the ending of RoF so much better. Watching the movies though will let you skip the very unnecessary first 26 episodes of super.

I'm watching it on kissanime

Toriyama is a gag mangka. It just so happen a series of his about a boy with a monkey tail experimented with a martial arts arc and it became the most popular manga of the time. In order to continue the popularity, Toriyama was strongly influenced to make the series much more action orientated. To the point that most of what you would call DBZ can be attributed to his editors.

Majin Buu Saga is the only arc where he regained most of his creative control and you see the mixed opinions about that with its goofy villain and reintroducing magic back to the series.
>>
>>143586083
I haven't watched any of the movies at all, was considering it seeing as how they have things that were left out of the shows. I still need to find a way to get the entire collection for at least DB and DBZ since I want them and it's too fucking expensive to buy it on disc for every arc.

Don't.

Instead, do something more fun than watching DBGT, such as stabbing yourself in the eye with a grapefruit spoon, or shoving toothpicks into your cuticles.

good tip anon thanks

>>143584773
Are you an idiot? DB was always super goofy, DB super is going backs to it's roots. Stop expecting edgy show all over again.

They would be forcing seriousness at this point.
They're too strong to receive an actual threat anymore, they would naturally become more light hearted as things continued to be good.
