The manga has made things clearer so far.Okay, just a few thots:
The beefs are legit about shyt not making sense. My take is that this feels like DB reaching for a new height, while trying to stay in the typical convenient lane. They're showing us the answers to math equations, without showing us the work. Either the explanation is coming in the form of a satisfying payoff, or the writers are gonna spirit bomb their way out of this.
I'm guilty of what Toei was banking on, and that's being happy and willing to watch anything with these characters back in a new series. I got ZERO problem devoting 20 mins of my weekly life to DBS. I can't defend the plot, while only saying I'm entertained, and hoping the payoff is worth the convoluted plot confusion.
