#But also it was handled so poorly that Toriyama had to write official fix-it fic for his own original universe and characters

I think I wouldn’t be as mad about Toei’s choices for Super if the things they overwrote wouldn’t have translated so beautifully to animation.
I have my beef with the gaps in my sense of humor and Toei’s writers room and our opinions on characterizations, sure, but so many of the cool things that happened in the manga and the movies that Toei reiterated were changed, botched, or removed completely, and that sucks.
Vegeta being so cool and so protective of his family during the Goku Black arc, and Gohan being a total badass during Ressurection F are my biggest “why did you change this??” beefs. But also man. The tournament had so many good moments in the manga that were totally snubbed in the anime.
As a fan it makes me angry but as an artist it makes me sad. Toya is such a cinematic storyteller and his pacing and compositions were just. Thrown away. :(
EDIT: Someone in the notes pointed out that the anime caught up with the manga before the GB arc so I do take back that they threw away Toya’s later work in the GB and Tournament arcs, but I will never understand why they weren’t sharing assets when they were in production at the same time. And I still can’t forgive them for fumbling the retellings of BotG and ResF so hard OTL
#dbtag#NOT silly hours#Been chatting with a friend all day about our beef with modern (US) media being so scared of camp and comedy in action stories and I’m so#Sad. I hope Super’s anime gets rebooted after Daima I really do and I hope to GOD it’s faithful to Toriyama’s writing and humor#Make dragon ball about love and community and adventure and joy girl it’s not just the Super Goku CoolGuy Power Hour 😭#It also makes me so upset to think about how they would’ve trashed the Moro and Granolah arcs 🥲#The deep dedication to not letting Vegeta be a protagonist in the series in which is essentially the protagonist..baffling#I also really hate…the validation of feeling super’s anime was deeply corporate and learning it was a cash-grab rush job :’)#Not only was the production schedule absolutely horrid for the production crew#But also it was handled so poorly that Toriyama had to write official fix-it fic for his own original universe and characters#Like who is making these choices that Toriyama was going “that’s entirely the wrong vibe” and they just kept going “who cares :)”#Like isn’t that exactly what the dragon ball evolution producers did? Just brought him on for the name and ignored his advice completely?
