Amazing Themes, Poor Execution

I did a story a while back explaining why Dragon Ball Super has such poor execution👉 Why Dragon Ball Super Feels Poorly Executed.

Writing is an art form like any other — and it should be no surprise that a group of substitute writers couldn’t measure up to the original creator when it comes to the finer details. When a writer creates a story, it’s not the result of cold, calculated choices. The story flows from their subconscious to their conscious mind, as an expression of their inner feelings, thoughts, desires, life experiences, genetics, and their ensuing perceptions.

One of the most memorable moments in DBZ — the Father/Son Kamehameha. This is just before Gohan defeats Cell once and for all, with his father’s spirit by his side. (Dragon Ball Z Kai, Episode 97)

The original writer, Akira Toriyama, didn’t write this show himself, but he did give direction for the world and its characters — which is exactly why we were left with amazing themes and poor execution. Though I explained why the poor execution took place in my previous article, now I’ll dive into the triumphant themes and the hopelessly poor execution of those themes.
