The existence of SSJGod basically means GT's events don't happen.

As of the Xenoverse DLC, GT is one of many separate alternative universes, no different from the others except for how much press it gets.

I think that's the way the timeline is going. GT just comes up as an alternative universe for where DBZ is going.

It's still crazy to type "where DBZ is going".

I don't really understand how Freeza managed to rack down minions who could also fight, say, Piccolo or Gohan, since both of those dudes are like a million times stronger than Freeza used to be when he was the strongest in the universe, but whatever.

Even if I don't understand why, I'll always appreciate the original dub for the occasional batshit insane line (and for some reason they almost always involve Vegeta). The world is a better place with the existence of Paper Clip Truck driver and juice.

I'm not going to read the spoilers but I choose to keep optimistic on the grounds that reading a brief synopsis of BoG would've made it seem a lot more lame than it was.

A new form is confirmed. Dragonball Heroes did a promo where they showed Goku transform but didn't show his face with a "what could it be?!"

Yeah. Because of the God power that Goku and Vegeta now have, the normal Super Saiyan form has blue hair. It's not a new form, merely a change on an existing one, hence why they kept the hair styles of their original Super Saiyan forms.

Oh that's...weird. If it's just the same form with a new color than why bother at all? The gold hair looked better than the blue hair anyways.

The music, the music has been really lame and subdued and I'm pretty sure this wasn't the same soundtrack as when I watched it on Toonami.

Unfortunately, your observation is completely correct and something that's caused nerd arguments across the internet for years. For some reason they didn't/couldn't reuse the original dub soundtrack and IIRC use the Japanese version instead (which is its own can of worms, because that soundtrack is a replacement too after a plagiarism scandal with the composer got the original Kai soundtrack nixed.)

He's just one cop in a corrupt Galactic precinct. His superiors were prone to taking bribes from Zarbon and Dodoria in exchange to turning a blind eye to Freeza's criminal empire. One good cop in a broken system can't do much. Since Freeza's first death, Jaco has spent the last several years cleaning up the galaxy one street corner at a time..and cleaning up his own precinct. It's one story that'll never be told, but really really should.

I mean you don't have to be strong to be a trainer. Hercule and Yamcha and Tien are all trainers.
