Wasn’t GT an attempt to do a “kid” version and it basically went over like a lead balloon? What do they think will be different with the formula this time and why do they think people want to see kid fights?

Gt did not involve Toriyama, and the presence of kid goku is not why it's bad

Also, Dragonball. It literally started with kids fighting? Son Goku, the child Saiyan? Grandpa Gohan? Remember?

Yea, but the context is different. Dragon ball is the journey of children into young adulthood. Daima is literally what GT did. I get it though. It's meant to look cute and fun and keep a decades old series alive. Super involved Toriyama and that was not good. Entertaining and better than GT, but not good.

The creator being involved means nothing in terms of quality. Just look at George Lucas and the Prequels.

I never watched past episode 1 of GT. Pure trash.
