I've stopped liking DBZ because it was far too ludicrous to be believable or even funny. Supreme Beings described as the mightiest of the mightier in their universe like Anathos or Princess Kaguya (herself the result of an escalation),  can only destroy a planet with their mightier attack, while anyone in DBZ after the Frieza saga can casually do so by sneezing too loud. Inthe end, it breaks the willing suspension of disbelief.

For one, that's why I have no interest whatsoever for Dragon Ball Super.

funnily in Super things are settling down but it took the destruction of an entire multiverse to do so.. it really had no business getting that far but to be honest ever since Buu Saga that's what DB has been about ("get more power") - at least now they're back to having it being a largely fantasty take on martial arts tournament again.. still, like I said, took too much crap to get back to that basic formula.
