Dragon Ball MT's evaluation
The Dragon Ball GT-Series had mixed reviews. On the positive side: - ** Meaning of the plot **: The plot revolved around the Black Star Dragon Ball after the negative energy was generated by the abuse of Dragon Ball power by humans. The theme was Goku destroying the evil dragon. It was not only closely related to the Dragon Ball theme, but also vigilant and educational for the viewers. Compared to Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball Super, the plot was more meaningful. Moreover, the setting of " starting with the Dragon Ball, ending with the Dragon Ball " was a highlight. It reflected that humans had suffered revenge for abusing the Dragon Ball and explained the principle of having a sense of reverence for power. - [Setting: Super Saiyan 4's settings are more meticulous.] It evolved from the giant ape, echoing the plot of Goku's giant ape transformation in the first movie. Before the appearance of the Dragon Ball Super, the giant ape transformation could be regarded as the highest combat power and characteristic of the Saiyan. The Super 4, as the ultimate evolution form, explained the ending of the giant ape. The black hair and red body hair reflected the primitive wildness, which also confirmed the history of the Saiyan. - ** In terms of domestic reputation **: The rating in China is relatively good. For example, the rating in Bangumi is 7.0, and the rating in Douban is 8.5. On the negative side: - ** Fighting **: Fighting is far less than Dragon Ball Super and Dragon Ball Z, which is the minus point of the entire drama. There was a lack of innovation in the moves, such as the lack of novelty in the 10 times Turtle Qigong setting, the repeated air bomb attacks, the dragging of the battle process, the excessive dialogue with the villain, and the over-description of Goku causing the other characters to become a foil.
