    Speaking of Dragon Ball, it’s in a very weird “how to progress further” dillema after Toriyama’s death. Various people have the rights for different purposes; and want to do different things with the franchise.

    I just hope it doesn’t end up like LOTR franchise where they cash out for shit ass products that doesnt respect its source material.

      I love Dragon Ball, but as a franchise, it’s shit.

      The original DB was a light hearted adventure series.

      Then DBZ was a lot darker and introduced most of the series lore.

      Then GT turned Goku into a kid, and tried to do both.

      Super tried to recreate the lightheartedness of the original DB, but with the Z fights - some of it was good, most wasn’t.

      The upcoming series, Daima, everyone magically turns chibi. Evidently, Toriama is fixated on returning to the original DB.

      I don’t think Daima will be good. Toriama needs to let kid goku go.
