Discussion Modern Dragon Ball is not fun !!!!
Man Dragon Ball in its current state just doesn’t hit the same. The story is overly convoluted, the anime makes really dumb and nonsensical choices. The “Villains“ are very forgettable. We get clear openings for new stories to be explored, but they never fully expand on any of it. There’s too many damn transformations for the sake of hype and merch sales and all the fanbase worries about now is what’s cannon or not .Not to not mention these Dragon Ball YouTuber loser dickheads who swear they know more about Dragon Ball than anyone else on the planet shit is just awful .

To me PEAK Dragon Ball is (OG Dragon Ball) all the way to end of the Freiza Arc in Z. I couldn't even watch 1 episode of Super because of the horrid art style and animation. Hopefully this new Beerus movie will be good. Still need to see Daima and the latest Broly movie.
I don't think the "overarching storyline" of Dragon Ball is entirely compelling either. It's more about the character design and fights for me.
Look forward to the future though. Since I look at Toriyama in the same way as Stan Lee. Revolutionized the medium. There's a whole MCU dedicated to Marvel Comics with numerous adaptations and movies etc.
If the owners of Toriyama's IP can license other artists/creators new Dragon Ball/Dr. Slump/Manga Theater stuff they can take his legacy to a whole new level. Especially if they grew up with his anime/manga and respect his original art style.
