Edit: Messed up poll Final option is keep going.
First let me just get this out of the way, I love lots of the Post Frieza Content in Dragon Ball. The androids are great, I love Gohan betting Cell, I love Buu aand Gohan in highschool, Big Fan of Tournament of power and Dragon Ball Super Broly.
I appreciate all The Dragon Ball content we have and continue to get over the decades But I enjoy it just as a casual popcorn show that I don't think to Hard about.
Dragon Ball was not always pure popcorn for me. I absolutely fell in love with the characters and was super invested around the Tournament and Red ribbon Sagas
The Story started not serous and fun then Had a perfect Ramp up of Drama and stakes From Tournament to Red ribbon then to King Piccolo and Piccolo Jr as the big Earth threats
After We got the introduction to Saiyan's and the incredible fights with Raditz, Nappa and Vegita Leading to the series turning Space bound in the Best Arc of the whole Series The Frieza Saga
I can't overstate How much I love the Frieza Especially the beginning . The incredible Tension of Krillin and Gohan Sneaking through Frieza's forces severely out matched to keep the Dragon Ball's out of frieze's Hands was Spectacular. Then Goku Going Super sayian and "Finishing" Frieza was such a Cathartic moment and I really felt like the series would have been perfectly rapped there.
Then we get the to the Cell Saga and Trunks comes in and effortlessly kills Frieza the strongest thing in the universe built up for over a Hundred Chapters and That was when I started to disconnect emotionally
Ever since that point nothing Felt special anymore. any Character goes super sayin There's always a bigger Bad guy than the Last that's 10 times as strong (even though Frieza can destroy Planets) and we just keep retreading the same type of content over and over and over again.
what's worse is once we Hit the Buu Saga almost every character has no Development at all. Every single person from the Buu saga to present day Broly movie is an exact snapshot of themselves at the start of Buu.
TLDR: While I appreciate a lot of the Post Frieza Content it's a Narrative mess that should have ended after Chapter 329.
