Welp, it’s over. For now, I guess, until a new series picks up where it left off in another year or two.
I can’t say I’m not disappointed with how it ended. I was hoping for a better wrap-up than an ending montage, but whatever. On top of that, for me, it just feels like we got another shitty tournament saga that was just unnecessary, and that its only point was to introduce a ton of new characters and a new form for marketing. When can we have an interesting storyline again?
When I first started watching DBZ, I had NO plans to watch the whole series. I just happened to be flipping channels and it happened to be on. I was like, “Huh, a lit of guys at school used to like this. I’m gonna watch it just to see what it’s about.” And two episodes into the Namek saga, I was absolutely hooked.
It’s unfortunate that the new content in the DB universe isn’t as captivating, and if I had started watching from any point in DBS, I would likely have dismissed the series. And I’m not saying that anyone would or should begin watching DBS before the original shows, I’m just saying. I hope the next movie or the next saga takes notes from worthwhile DB sagas. With story, adventure, mystery, character development. I mean, I even liked the Goku Black saga. It kept me wanting to know more. It brought back a beloved character, introduced a new couple, new things in the alternate timeline, new and mysterious viillains with an interesting motive.
I’m just done with tournaments. Please no more. The predictability is painful, there is zero depth, and there’s really nothing there to keep me watching. To be honest, I quit watching the debuts and just wait for the gifs and summaries. It just seems like a waste of time to watch anymore.
I’m just hopeful that the new movie will be more rich with backstory, adventure, mystery. Something that will hook the audience and even pique the interest of new fans. Nowadays that is asking a LOT, and I almost kind of want to have Toei in on the writing more. They do pretty well with story, but we know how abusive they are of characters other than Goku. If they went that route, we might as well forget seeing love for any other character besides him.
Come on, Toei and AT! Show us where Super’s budget went and blow our minds with the new movie! Please be good!
