1) Characters
Tien, Yamcha, Piccolo, Gohan, and so many more simply turned into background noise as Goku and vegeta go Super Sand Lesbian or whatever the hell the next form is called. Why is it that these characters with thought put into them were now just thrown away? Even with the current arc, you don't feel the same intesity or pressure from the older series' fights.
2) Ruined characters
Vegeta is a bitch, Goku is a complete dumbass, Trunks is an emotional 30 year old who looks 12 and probably shops at hot topic, Bulma is literally nothing but Ms.Einstein, Trunks and Goku Jr. both look exactly the same...
What I fail to understand is why the author of Dragon Ball believed these changes were necessary. We get that Goku is dumb, but it actually frustrates me seeing him turn into a useless idiot who can only punch things.
vegeta changing character suddenly is also annoying. In fact, they felt the need to change so much to the point where it doesn't even feel as though it's them. Frieza is still as despicable as ever; why couldn't everyone else not be ruined?

So, you're upset that those particular characters are actually within their character... Got it. Honestly a lot of your arguments contradict themselves. I get that you don't enjoy Super though and honestly at the end of the day that's your opinion. There certainly are some things you could touch upon on Super that doesn't make a lot of sense. Unfortunately you missed the mark.

I understand some characters will phase out. I was fine with certain naruto characters not being as relevant during Shippuden. However, I think Super is failing to effectively introduce new characters. We see the Akatsuki, Madara, Hagoromo, Killer Bee, and others gain the spotlight and be memorable characters. Super lacks this. Besides Hit and (maybe) Jiren, I was unimpressed by a lot of the new characters. Beerus is a neat character, Goku Black wasn't too shabby, but everyone else is a disappointment.
Sure, Z was flawed, but I'm not using nostalgia glasses. The reason I enjoyed it was because it was still neat seeing the characters I loved seeing. The Ginyu Force, Bulma, Vegeta upon arriving, Nappa, Frieza and his race, the Androids, etc.
1.5/10 and this review had some obvious exaggerations. Bobobo clearly isn't a 10/10, and this isn't the worst anime ever. However, I haven't watched many, and this one was my least favorite.
I don't give reviews much however. If I sat down and did every single show properly, expect them all to be different. I'd give DBS more of a 4/10. If the show improves, then I'll adjust as needed.
