NON-SAYIAN CAST MEMBERS. I like Saiyans but I think cool characters like Piccolo and Tien have been shafted for too long thanks to them. I especially want to stray away from Universe 6 Saiyans and at this point, the Saiyan offsprings have even gotten boring for Toriyama.

This tired-out franchise needs to END. Yes, "Dragon Ball" was one of the most influential manga/anime in history. Yes, it's a terrible thing to think about, especially seeing as this is posted on a "Dragon Ball" related website forum. But given the dismal state the franchise is in as of now, (and judging from comments I've seen on other forum posts and blogs) I can't be the only one with this point of view. "Dragon Ball" has been in existence since 1984, and really hit it's stride in the 90's with "Dragon Ball Z". However, after TOEI's atrocious "Dragon Ball GT" and the more recent lackluster farce "Dragon Ball Super", I think it's high time Akira ends the series for GOOD. Step down and let other up-and-coming manga/anime that feature FRESH, NEW ideas take over. All "Dragon Ball" has now for "new ideas" are lazy recolors and palette swaps, rehashed plot devices, some repurposed character designs (e.g. Tarble/Cabba and Broli/Kale), non-existent power-scaling, terrible writing in regards to story arcs and characters (biggest example being the "Future Trunks saga" and SSJGSSJ Vegito), and an all-around loss of the magic and care that Akira put in that made people love "Dragon Ball" and "Z" all those years ago without droves of arguments, complaints, etc amongst the fanbase which anything "GT" and "Super"-related bring in daily here at this wiki's forums and blog posts. Maybe I'm wrong, but with the advent of this new "Broly" movie and it's sinful re-write of the "Bardock" mythos, I cant help but feel I have a point. Anyone else agree/disagree?

I do see a lot of your points, and honestly they make a very good case. But I wouldn’t like to see the series end, I would like to see it progress, it has extreme potential to be great but it just hasn’t really met that threshold so far. I believe with the new arc featuring buu we might be in for some good DBZ type action and the Broly movie I feel is a good way to get back to DBZ, with hand drawn animation, actual fights instead of copy pastes and really cool visuals instead of half finished products. BUT with all that said we could be in for more of the same as well, I’m just hoping they bring up a lot of the characters like Buu, Gohan, Piccolo and Krillin. While making the story interesting and not redundant and nonsensical. With that said however, I do not want the focus to be shifted to entirely about the surrounding cast, that’s the issue I’m currently having with Boruto. I do want goku as the MC just with some support like Frieza/Saiyan saga. Cell saga was a different beast of its own, in a good way.
