While most would agree that Dragon Ball Super: Broly exceeded expectations and FighterZ is one heck of an excellent fighting game, you’ll find some contention regarding the quality of the flagship series, Dragon Ball Super....

They are so timeless, in fact, that they can be set pretty much anywhere, from the middle ages, to space, to (frequently) a high school in the 1990s. This versatility is what makes them so easy to recreate in film: when the classic tales feature different settings and character names, with minor plot changes, they become virtually unrecognizable. So many Shakespearean stories have been altered and repeated so many times throughout cinematic history that it’s easy to forget that they were even pieces of classic literature in the first place....
