I mean its been 8 years since Battle of Gods and we still haven't reached the End of Z era. Its pretty clear they don't have much interest in advancing the story. |

Yet they couldn't stop with the DBZ nostalgia because it had a moment in that arc which reminded people of Cell. |

That arc basically ends with Moro becoming a Cell rip-off. Seriously his final form is literally a fusion of Cell and Cooler as well as following the same general beats of the character. It was awful, just completely ruined the character. |

I'll agree that the violence is toned down, the lack of blood is jarring, and the sound design can be iify at times, but I remember quite a few perverted Roshi moments in Super. One of the fights he had in the Tournament of Power he flat out won by saying he was going to molest his female opponent so she ran out of the ring to disqualify herself. Plus that whole Yurin episode. The toned down violence is especially odd since One Piece airs right after Super did and doesn't have the same restrictions in terms of violence and blood. They're both two of the most popular Toei series so it can't just be the more popular series getting away with more either. I don't mind Dragonball getting more movies but after Super being very lukewarm overall I wouldn't want another TV series unless they can dedicate themselves to a better product. |

I wouldn't mind if Toriyama used new characters as protagonists over Goku and Vegeta. He messed up in the Buu arc with Gohan, Goten and Trunks and Super was an excessive usage of Goku and Vegeta having their personality being dumber than usual. Already the Goku arc showed that the series can use others like Trunks to stand up but no, the villain had to win. Even in DBS Broly, Goku and Vegeta had nothing to do with the villain while Frieza became Saturday morning villain.

Neither should his default characterization continue to be pompous, selfish, asshole/dumbass who only wants to defeat Goku. Even Piccolo largely moved on from his original character quirks.
Eventhough the Moro Arc had him wreaking havoc across New Namek which was not too far removed from the original Frieza Arc except spoiler[Moro succeeds at using the DragonBalls and defeating Goku?]
Which to be fair they did because Broly is popular (and to appease the segment of fans pissed at Kale having the temerity to be the USSJ of another universe). It’s also nice they made him less of one note character who wants to kill Goku because he kept crying all the time as a baby. They also made Gogeta canon. |

Except Vegeta’s default personality is NOT selfish, pompous, asshole/dumbass. He actually cares for and fights for others and shows guilt about his past. Yes he still sees Goku as a Rival but his path to “defeat” Goku has been in healthier and more positive ways. And yes Vegeta will always be a bit of a Tsundere but that is just the humor of his character. It is not meant to be taken so seriously. |

I believe the lack of violence has more to do with the fact that Super airs on Sunday mornings whereas the older series (the original, Z and GT) had an early evening slot whichI I believe was 7:30 PM on Wednesday. Obviously you can get away with more in the early evenings. Also, Roshi’s perverted antics were likely cut due to a complaint by a Japanese watchdog group in 2017 animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2017-06-12/lascivious-master-roshi-suspected-target-in-latest-bpo-published-complaint/.117351. |

Eventually Up until then all those things I mentioned previously was pretty much what his character was.
I don't know why you're telling me that I liked Z but I have no problem with it's tone. I mean yeah the animation and art can go to hell (just like Z) and the writing is iffy (just like most of the series) but it' fine. |

Not as much as your rude attempt at virtue signaling says about you, I'm afraid. |

Yet One Piece airs immediately after at 9:30 AM and has all of it's violence kept intact. |
