So nothing was learned and they are going to make basically the same story involving demons and de-aged characters. GT essentially did demon dragons, demon goo [Baby], and demon robots [Super 17] along with an invasion from Hell. At least the Tournament of Power and the other Super stories were more original if downright retarded at times.
And they probably won't even take the handful of good elements from GT, like Saiyans actually having something to do with Monkeys again or that the Dragon Balls can have consequences for being used.
Because that's too creative for the modern DB team.
I mean is anyone suprised? Toriyama's protogé and Super's creator Toyotarou literally got his his start ripping off and writing Dragon Ball fanfiction.
Hell even Super is a hodgepodge of that same fanfiction. Goku Black is literally Xicor from Dragonball AF, Ultra Instinct is SSJ5, etc. Other than a few original ideas it's just fanfiction made canon.
My only surprise is how many people in the fandom itself slurp it up and toss around "this is canon/non-canon" just to protect the absolute garbage being made. When we had established "canon" for decades until Toriyama and his little clique decided they needed to put their names on it and de-canonized things just to make them slightly different.
Especially as all the parts anyone likes from Super are just ripped off from the anime itself. Such as Broly or Cooler.
To be fair, I actually looked into it a bit, the creation of “canon” content starting with the Yo Son Goku OVA happened because of Toriyama’s disgust at Evolution
