Has any franchise fallen as much as Dragon Ball has? What went wrong with it?

Manhwa industry

Dragon Ball's last good arc was on Namek

Naruto

Like any super popular franchise that’s over 30 years old: it’s trying to stay relevant for money.

NOTHING, you little moeshitting tourist BITCH. TITANgon CHADll is better than any of your little seasonal flavor of the month moe garbage. Little fucking WHORE.
I won btw.

The fanbase fell into the canon = good meme.
Now they can literally canonize any fanfic and everyone's still brainwashed to believe it's good because it has Toriyama's seal of approval.

>moeshitting tourist rat thinks its opinion matters
Pipe the FUCK down until I give you permission to speak.

The fact they literally views and gets ideas from here and Mexican fanfictions

Dragon Ball would be a lot better if they stopped after the Namek arc. The story of Goku being some weird space warrior who gets progressively stronger until he reaches a legendary level (SSJ) is really good on its own. Same with the progression of his opponents from lowly Earth thugs to a space conqueror who can casually blow up planets with his index finger in his weakest base form.

Everything after Namek feels like they ran out of ideas, and so decided to turn the series into a never-ending cashgrab rather than a complete solid written story. Who's the next enemy? Uhhh... Some humans who have been modified with robot tech by a Red Ribbon Army scientist (already a used idea in early DB). Why are they more powerful than Freeza or the Legendary Super Saiyan who can easily blow up huge planets with little effort? "Idk infinite energy generator in their body lol." And then to fill out the Z Fighters, they introduce a bunch of new Saiyan kids who all master the form as kids. SSJ, which is supposed to be this legendary once in a lifetime occurrence of unfathomable power, is now regularly mastered by children on Earth. AND THEN they degrade it even more by arbitrarily adding more layers/levels like a SSJ2/3 and all the sublayers and sublevels of SSJ. And of course, they also resort to a contrived Terminator time travel plot. The Boo arc was kind of better, but it also does a lot of dumb shit and falls apart by the end.

But of course, when you compare the modern DBS to any of the dumbest shit in the Cell/Boo arcs, there's no comparison and DBS is so mind-bogglingly badly written. They literally throw all sense of power scaling and character development out of the window, and at that point the writers are operating on the level of "oh, let's do that because fans will like it" rather than a well considered, well crafted piece of art.

DBS was just a stupid wave of nostalgia to capitalize on aging DBZ fans before they die or get too old to care.

Android Saga.

The fact that people are cheering the abomination that is Super Hero is pretty telling.

Super Hero? PERFECT and better than whatever moeshit movie you're thinking of.

In hindsight, Android and Buu were literally "everyone is retarded for the plot to progress". Namek is so much better written with Vegeta strategically weakening Frieza's forces and powerlevels actually making sense, it's not even funny.
