They might as well. Unless they want to redact everything after the Cell Saga they should just fucking stop because the "story" is complete and utter trash at this point. But no, I'm sure they'll turn up the gravity or some shit and someone will awaken their unlimited supply of hidden powers. Then they'll fight like they didn't just get their ass beat nearly to death for an hour.

It'd be nice if it was Dragonball, rather than Dragonball Z. But that's just not going to happen, is it?

At the end of GT, Goku is more powerful than any God (or other being, outside of magical ones) that exists in the entire universe, and the Dragon Balls are absorbed into him. I can't imagine there's much that would challenge this Super God "I sweat Dragon Balls" Goku. Who can turn SSJ4. For there to be something new, and there to actually be danger, GT cannot be canon.
Which is awesome, because it means Vegeta will still look like Vegeta. Cutting his hair and giving him a moustache is unforgivable.

New movie? Cool. But Please no CGI fuck like Berserk.
Haha this. It's just ridiculous now.

That only makes Toriyama making new post-Z designs stand out even more though. He could just have reused the last chapter designs or gone with GT's, but he did a new set of designs for Goku's family and Uub for a two or three page cameo. I think that suggests strongly that he won't reference or try to keep continuity with GT at all if he makes some post Z work.

They should make an entire movie about Tienshinhan, the real hero of DB/DBZ.

Next year is going to be fucking anime Christmas.
They managed to have a movie about explosions, three hot girls, and lots of fighting...and STILL MADE IT SUCK.

Fuck yes. Hell, how about a story about any fucking character that isn't a Saiyan?

It's over 9,000 and that's all you need to know.
Might as well throw them all in together since they'll just yell real loud and then get knocked unconscious while the saiyans turn on god-mode.

Whatever the movie turns out to be, just make sure its set after the end of DBZ but ignores the terrible DBGT

It's time, motherfuckers!
That SSJ -4.
Fixed.

Well, GT could have never been considered canon in any context, fortunately. The movies were always "what ifs" that took place in place of canon events, and GT rides on the coattails of the movieverse by incorporating several movie villains (FROM HELL), the Sacred Water from the Garlic Jr. saga, and other bullshit.
So GT is a giant "what if" itself.
well his kid forms base power was stronger than super perfect cell and each saiyan transformation is x50, so...

Isn't that SSJ-3 and this 4:
GT doesn't exist.

I am reacting to someone who said that picture was a SSJ4 that is all.

The only thing from GT that was good, was SSJ4 > SSJ3. The way I would have had it was SSJ4 was what happened when you fully mastered your powers in your monkey form.
Also, Super 17 was pretty cool.

It would have been so bad ass if Tien learned the Spirit Bomb by the end of DBZ. He learned the Evil Containment Wave and taught all of the Z fighters the most useful techniques (flying and the Solar Flare). His last cool moment of the entire series was slapping around stage 2 Cell.
I actually wouldn't mind it if they basically scrapped everything past the Frieza saga and just restarted the series. That way we could get some different and more interesting storylines, non-saiyan characters could become more relevant (i.e. give Krillin fuckin kaioken) and (for the love of god) power levels could actually maintain some kind of consistent and reasonable grounding.
The power disparity utterly ruins the franchise, such as when beings like Frieza become jokes in the later part of the series (despite this 'weakling' still having the power to eradicate planets and entire civilisations) and children being millions of times stronger than their parents when they were of the same age (how do they not destroy solar systems with their temper tantrums?).
But I know I'm just beating a dead donkey with this rant and this is all just wishful thinking. The DB series has long since become a massive parody of itself.

Ha, just realised the last 5+ posts are saying the exact same thing as me! Good times.

I never thought about that before. Good.
There are some things I liked about GT, but they don't outweigh the Black Star Dragon Balls and everything to do with them.
As much I love new DB appearing, really it should have stopped after Cell. Non-canon or backstory will be fine by me.

I think a lot of the power level disparity comes from the fact that Vegeta was originally intended to be the last villain. (DBZ was originally only supposed to be one arc) But because the series continued on, characters had to keep rising exponentially in power to raise the stakes. Personally, I just want to see the secondary characters contribute in a meaningful fashion. I wouldn't mind if Goku didn't appear at all.
It's not so much that, it's just nice to see things in higher quality. The intro to DBZ Kai looked pretty good.
Goku arriving on earth and getting raised by Songohan, or maybe Piccolo's travel and raising to become God?
Many unexplored options

That could actually be a fun idea for a collection of short films of varying degrees of seriousness. Other ideas: Krillin's adventures in the afterlife after he was killed by Frieza. Vegeta's search for Goku and dealing with Frieza's remaining armies. The wacky misadventures of the Ginyu Force. I think Dragon Ball could benefit from the Animatrix treatment.
I think exploring the past (and thus, the Dragon Ball part) would be more interesting than yet a new super powerfull beeing able to eradicate life within 5 galaxies with a sneeze.
