For me I prefer the 100% Goku Show over pointless character development and screentime leading you to believe a character might do something only for them to be a foot note at best and have Goku Time come into effect and get all the big fights..
If it's gonna be the Goku show I'd rather they be straight forward and make that clear. The last arc had potential with a lot of characters but they dropped the dragon ball on all of them except 17 and Frieza. For most of the tournament Goku Time was in effect and it infuriated me. Leading into the tournament they made it look like it wasn't gonna be Goku Time but 2 episodes in and we had Goku basically soloing a universe and him getting almost all of the big fights, while everybody else was either waiting to get eliminated or for Goku to allow them some screentime. The other arcs aren't as bad as that, but Goku Time still happens quite a bit after Resurrection F
I will say though the final moments with 17 and Frieza almost make up for that. |
Super hasn't always been the Goku show. But do you also prefer when Goku always wins, and always is the MVP? And that whenever a new stronger opponent is introduced, Goku is able to take them down in the span of the same arc?
Because Super starts off with Goku losing to Beerus. And no one else saves the day. He just loses, and that's it.
That's a big difference from previous showdowns where their opponent is always somehow defeated.
When Frieza returns, Goku gets most of the screentime during the fight. And that shouldn't have been the case. But there was never any indication that Goku was more capable of defeating Frieza than Vegeta was. If anything, Goku was portrayed as less competent than Vegeta, by letting himself get defeated by one of Frieza's minions. They both seemed more than capable of taking down Frieza, but both fell victim to Frieza's cheap tactics. Goku was given the finishing hit though, which was a bit disappointing.
For the Goku Black saga, Trunks was undoubtedly the MVP. The story focus was constantly surrounding him. In battle he stepped it up and helped Goku while Vegeta was down for the count. He singlehandedly held off Black and Zamasu for several days while Goku and Vegeta retreated. And after Vegito's fusion wore off, Trunks came in and split Zamasu in half. Aside from Zeno getting the actual finishing touch, it the spotlight was mainly on Trunks. Both in terms of story and combat.
In the Universe 6 Tournament, it was the Goku show though. But at least he didn't win the tournament.
For the tournament of power, they built up both Gohan and Vegeta, hinting at them achieving accomplishments greater than they actually achieved. At first I was disappointed in that. But in hindsight after watching the last episode, having Goku, 17, and especially Frieza working together the way they did, it exceeded my expectations, and was probably more interesting than anything I had in mind.
Even though Goku was involved in most of the major fights, they hammered home the idea of the importance of working together to win.
