They deliberately sold the most recent movie on "we are letting Gohan actually do something" because of how bad the problem is across the entire series.
That movie is quite literally a rehash of The Cells Games. Cell is even the big bad and Gohan only wins because someone gets killed, he thinks, which pushes him over the edge into a new form.
Let's be real, the entire franchise should have concluded with the Frieza saga. Everything past that has been aimless meandering because the bags of money keep raining down.
Cooler was also almost a complete repeat of the Freiza saga down to exact details being the same. Broly was literally ripping off Broly wholesale just cuz "muh canon." That isn't anything new for the series, as most of the movies for DB were rehashes of the main show cut down to feature length.
I enjoyed it just because it was still a bunch of higher budget action sequences than anything Super is capable of putting out, and that's all I'm interested in the series for.

Just like what happened in The Cell Games...
It's one of the laziest DB productions in years.
