Why was DBGT so poorly recieved?

Space adventures, kid Goku being a badass, transformations having unique designs.

Meanwhile Super is treated like the second coming.

>Space adventures
boring boomer shit. this was meant to attract old school fans, but the majority of us were not interested in kid goku vs space jobbers.

>kid Goku being a badass
moron. He was a huge and cringe pain in the ass. Real kid Goku is WAY better as a whole than kid transformed Goku

Terrible execution and shameless rehash.

Because it was too focussed on Goku. We have this large amount of characters and only Goku was allowed to shine.
GT had better design and animation, but Super uses its characters and humor better.
Another thing that always bothered me about GT was how boring the original DB world felt. Everybody just got old and settled down. Nobody seemed to have any goals or interesting shit going on. In Super, the characters still feel like they are alive.
In GT, Bulma is literally an old granny with nothing going on.
In Super, they just said "fuck it" and still made her hot and active despite her age.

It tried to have it both ways, and then failed at both of them. Oh, let's make Goku a kid again and get back to the wacky fun adventures of the original Dragonball! But let's also keep the increased action and powerlevel faggotry of Z!

Kid Goku sounded like a good idea because the fans were tired of Z, this didn't meant that the fans didn't like Z, they were tired of its repetition, at that time the fans wanted something more laid back, GT tried to do that but failed so it went back to the Buu arc style, which is Super's style, GT and Super are the Buu arc.
GT failed because Toei didn't know what to do with it, also they cut on the overall technical quality, GT failed because Toriyama was tired of DB and gave it an ending, they shouldn't have done anything after that, all you'll get from now on is the Buu arc over and over again.

By the way, Pan was probably one of the reasons why GT failed.

GT is only good retroactively in comparison to Super. In comparison to Dragon Ball & Z it was pretty underwhelming, except for the final episode.
I think the people who treat Super like the second coming are either Zoomers who don't know any better or so starved for DB content they're willing to put up with anything at this point.

GT pan and trunks are some of the worst characters in all of dragon ball. Goku is even more of a waku waku retard.

>Space adventures
Even in Japan the adventure parts of Dragonball never did well compared to the fighting. Toriyama has talked about needing to face pressure to keep it going as long as he did, before finally deciding to change the focus to fighting in the 22nd Budokai. GT's staff were basically handicapping themselves by attempting to mimic the least popular part of the series. And then they couldn't even do that well - like how GT's space adventures were mostly episodic, rather than always introducing new allies and enemies with each adventure like the original series did.

Then they attempted to change the focus to fighting, but the issue here is that GT's animation was horribly static and just couldn't handle that well, with only very few shots with decent motion.

In addition to that, you also have the writing side. The Goku focus + one a single new power up with SS4 basically meant the show never really had the same sense of progression Z did. Super mimicked it badly, but with GT it feels like the staff didn't even notice that it was an appealing part of the series.

cus is boring

Because it was actually bad?

They turned Goku into a kid for no other reason than the marketing team thought he needed to be a kid to appeal to audiences for some reason, they tried to do a Dragon Ball hunt again but made it actually boring, unlike Super it doesn't even try to pretend that anyone else but Goku can do anything, and its villains suck.

Super has varying quality and is a flawed series, but any flaws it has do not make GT not suck.

Also forgot to mention, GT felt like it was constantly floundering around because it had no idea what it wanted to be other than "sequel to Dragon Ball"

Its arcs shifted in a way that felt "well, this isn't working so lets try something different".
Meanwhile, it clearly had no idea what to do with any of its characters outside of Goku, and constantly forced in the two characters people cared for least rather than all the old characters people loved.

I wanted Goten to get in, not Pan.

Boring and bad animation. Baby is great though.

>By the way, Pan was probably one of the reasons why GT failed.
Explain how?

No.

Because the kids that grew up with DBZ came to use the internet. GT didn't get air time until much later, but by then, the dominant position has been set in stone. Hence people continue to parrot the meme.

In short, people didnt watch it as a child, therefore its shit.

>No.
Why?

She was written as all the worst tropes of a "tagalong kid" archetype and never got to really develop meaningfully as a character while also not really doing anything most of the time, and she is the most prominent character in the show after Goku. Her character comes off as too bratty for most of the show and doesn't feel like she ever really develops out of that.

I watched it growing up the same way I watched Z, and didn't use the internet back then. I thought it sucked even back then.

She was annoying and dressed like a middle aged female biker.
