About your page, Dragonball GT isn't the best but it at least acknowledges some of Goku's character development though. In Super he refuses to put the Kibosh on Frieza for good even after he attempted to use Broly to kill him. Goku in DB Super is more of a buffoon than he was in any series before it IMO. He does not learn from his mistakes, and brazenly befriends a tyrant like Zeno with full knowledge that he wiped out 6 universes including their afterlife just because he could, and the fact that Zeno can do all that and be immune to scrutiny, renders all heroism in the show pointless, as any moment Zeno can take it away from them, he is a horrible character. I know all anime has flaws, but that is not one I can ignore easily. Sometimes stories are broken.

Even in my own fan fictions I don't write edgy tales just for the sake of being edgy, if I think a plot is dumb or nullifies the efforts of the characters in some negative way, I don't go forward with it. I like to see character growth in story telling overall, be it a redemption arc or something else. I don't make fanfics about Dragonball or DC, but I have been writing a fanfic of MLP.

Dragonball for that reason I mentioned below, is a mediocre anime at this point. Goku makes friends with somebody who wiped out 6 universes, Zeno, and for that, Beerus was right to be upset at his ignorance, nobody was safe from him, not even allies. But that's the tip of the iceberg of the mess that story is and why I find Dragonball Super unwatchable. The broly movie is equally broken as well, even after that, the incompetent heroes in the story still let Frieza live after he attempted to use Broly to kill them. Heroes in Dragonball don't even take villainy seriously anymore which ruins both the drama and tension of the conflict.

Zeno from Dragonball for me is one of the worst characters in all of fiction. He can destroy universes just because he got angry about something, and everyone else in the story acts as if they are okay with this. Well, if you wanted death to have consequences, you got it Dragonball fans, but now you have a villain who is unbeatable and writers have wrecked their own story. Nothing Goku and Vegeta ever do matters in the grand scheme of things because Zeno can take it all away from them any time he likes. Such a stupid plot.

I can see why you like Snoopy, though I don't watch it myself, it seems like it is a relaxing show for you to watch and I understand that. I suppose for you, it's similar to watching My Little Pony Friendship is Magic.

I don't know about every other Dragonball fan out there but I would not be grateful for being brought into the world by an oppressive deity if I found out they were just going to destroy it later, fiction does not change that feeling for me. Death does not give life meaning, knowledge does.

I made a suggestion on how to fix the Dragonballs infinite revives problem in that fiction, but it's not like anyone is ever going to hear me out on that one. Reincarnation is a much better alternative instead of relying on Hakai which is lazy, and it also nullifies any effort to save the world a hero makes. Hakai makes heroism pointless, because an irreversible outcome is not something you can rescue somebody from.

Remember that time when Fluttershy said Spike was cute?
