I've been enjoying RoF a good deal. Partially because the movie wasn't particularly good, but also because Tagoma turned into a legitimately fun villain. That and what's based on nostalgia so far, save for the many flashbacks last episode, I didn't have a problem with. Two things in particular'd been on my mind since Z. Thought they'd forgotten. Probably did, but nice to see them come full circle.

Can't much see GT being anywhere close to as good as Super, though, regardless of Super's shortcomings. Or, I guess more accurately, Super is nowhere near as bad as GT. And I was thinking about this, recently, and I realized that if GT took any cues from Super, it could've been a pretty damn good show. GT has nothing in the way of character development (which Super has in spades) and all of the characters are static, which makes it feel something like a Saturday morning cartoon. The villains weren't particularly colorful (or, in some cases (ie the top of the page) were uber silly without being given any endearing traits.) and worked a lot better as concepts than enemies.
Also, the power creep. Super's doing a pretty damn good job of making characters that had become irrelevant from Dragon Ball to Z relevant, if not in battles, in plot or the show in general. One problem I had with GT was that they did whatever the **** they want, and it was so easy to become SSJ4 it was really a wonder all the Super Saiyans didn't do it. And Oozaru because that was a thing. And the final Spirit Bomb that...somehow...collects energy from the entire universe...somehow...
And yeah, Super does it, too (really, as far as we know, there's nothing stopping everyone from going SSG-it's only slightly less inconvenient than the SSJ4 process). Difference is, Super, so far, has handled powerups better than GT and even post-Buu Z. Mainly because the forms themselves aren't really a focus. The movies boasted new forms but the show shows them sparingly, because Super's about the characters moreso than power ping-pong. Forms here seem a lot closer to means to an end than watch-bait (which is what SSJ4 and Gogeta were, as well as SSG/SS for the movies, both sanctioned by Toei rather than Toriyama). And I'm fine with that. If Super can maintain this balance that its created with its characters without just throwing everyone in the background, they can do whatever they want with forms. Honestly, I like Dragon Ball most when it's not trying to show off.
And really, GT did play on nostalgia a lot. A loooot, often for novelty cases. The most incriminating example that comes to mind is Goku's fight against Frieza and Cell. And that whole Super Android 13 saga, really. Show had a lot of "Death Ball" type attacks, too.
