I recently took a quick look at the dragonball wiki and as someone who hasn't seen anything dragonball related after Z there is some really funny stuff on there

dragonball wiki imagesapparently the dragonball economy has been wrecked by severe Goku inflation

Nooo Vegeta, don't use that as your gamer name!

Dragon Ball GT had a banger intro and outro, some really bad and boring arcs (they literally don't know how to use Trunks or Pan besides as cheerleaders for Goku), but I still like the Baby and Shadow Dragon arcs those were good.

Isn't efery character in all of Dragon Ball basically a cheerleader for Goku? Or cannon fodder to buy goku time to come beat up a guy?

at least Gohan, Vegeta, Piccolo, 18, 17, Krillin, even fucking Yamcha, all get character arcs. Trunks and Pan do literally nothing but get beaten or just cheer Goku.

spoilerTrunks gets humilated multiple times and even gets possessed by Baby, the only good scene with him is when he kills General Blue with Goten. Meanwhile, Pan was literally designed to be a damsel in distress character in this, and she gets some unfunny sexual harassment jokes with a literal creepy otaku turning her into a doll.
