I think everyone can agree GT has great concepts but poor execution.
The one GT fan I know is Hail Zeon. He's on Youtube. He makes reviews of Dragon Ball Super and nitpicks the hell out of the episodes.
The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!I would have liked the dragons if they had a stronger connection to the wishes that created them rather than just being generically evil. Like, if they were trying to repo the wishes or something. The dragon created by reviving Goku wants to kill Goku, the dragon created by restoring Piccolo Daimao's youth wants to age Piccolo, etc.
Also if there was one for each wish instead of one for each Ball.

He and whatever dragon came from that would probably be at each others' throats.

"It's liberating, realizing you never need to be competent." — UltimatepheerWe made that joke previously in the thread.
"I am here to repossess those panties."
"But they're used."
"I know. This is Japan."
Meanwhile Eis would just go around spreading slanderous rumors about Buu.

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!It's a good thing you were clarified that, it'd be pointless to tell the world about Buu at dat point.
He'd be like "Aw man."
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.That would be a pretty original super villain motivation.
Seriously, though, giving the Shadow Dragons alchemy elements as superpowers was silly. You might have gotten away with that back when Tien was the main rival, maybe when Piccolo was the biggest threat, but when Vegeta established they had reached the planetary destruction level, "Earthquakes" and typhoons shouldn't have been cutting it anymore. Besides, a classical element squad felt like such a cliche action-adventure trope. At least Bebe(alien, conqueror) and Super 17 (Red Ribbon, android) were common Dragon Ball themes.
In fact, instead of "negative energy" being stored up in the Dragon Balls, I'd have attributed the shadow dragons to fate itself being against the Earth. Earth's lifeforms were fated to be exterminated by an alien. But that didn't happen because that alien rejected his evil impulses. So fate conspired to have those evil impulses take form and continue on without him, but they simply weren't strong enough on their own and desired control more than annihilation. So fate conspired to send another alien against Earth, but he hit his head and became a nice boy. So fate sent his older brother, but he cared too much for family, gave his little brother too many chances, he failed. Fate sent more saiyans, but they too failed. Fate sent the strongest active fighter in the universe, but he too failed to end the Earth, thwarted by time travel, of all things! So fate twisted time and space itself to bring about Cell, yet still he was stopped. But it struck gold with Majin Buu! Finally the blue planet was wasted...it was brought back...with Dragon Balls?
So fate decided to use Dragon Balls too, hence Pilaf and the black star saga and the reduction of Earth's main defender back to adolescence, plus the strongest beings to have come up since Freezer to stand in his path to the dragon balls. But the heroes saved the world again, thanks in part to Majin Buu's reincarnation. Furious, fate broke the afterlife itself and sent the denizens of hell upon the tiny blue planet, but they were turned back like all others. So fate went back to the Dragon Balls again. It hijacked Shenron and created hideous monstrosities based on the wishes he granted. Still, these were defeated.
The later revealed material would fit right into this. Majin Buu had existed since time immemorial and became what he was through absorbing the evil of humanity? That's where it all began. It wasn't just "fate", life on Earth was judged and deemed worthy of destruction. But for some reason, Bibidi interfered and steered Buu elsewhere, the plan was derailed. Jaco, the galactic patrolman, was also intended to be part of the process, but he found the indigenous life worth sparring. Elder Kai thought he was preaching about the natural order of the universe, but was instead spewing out the agenda of something else, the agenda of malevolent entities that had been threading the fate of existence as they saw fit until the last two hundred thousand years when their tapestry kept coming apart at the seams because of one tiny, water covered rock.
And then, just to really piss off the Dragon Ball fans(we're discussing GT content, the bar's already low) I'd reveal that the saiyans originated from a human tribe that was granted the power to turn into giant monkeys by the universe itself to deliberately screw up the plans of the fate weavers for having the hubris to assume they could dictate how it would operate, and a double whammy, were also meant to work alongside Majin Buu all along, since Buu's Expansion Pack Past makes him as much an expy of Sun Wukong as Goku is.

Gogeta can teleport. Boo needs to hide and suppress his chi, and hope someone with Vegeta in him won't just blow up the planet. Also, even if he did successfully do that, he's now far away enough that Goku and Vegeta can just fuck off and fuse with each other again somewhere Boo can't reach them.
And Boo would almost certainly prefer to absorb Gogeta rather than wait out the fusion, if he saw that Gogeta was open. It's a more decisive victory and eliminates his opponents forever.
Vegeta knows about the fusion dance, and it's pretty heavily implied he can do it. Remember that he is the Instant Expert and frankly the conversations between Goku and Vegeta make ZERO sense if he can't pull off the dance himself, because both act like he can at any time.
To fit the story, Goku would do the dance while Boo is flying across the planet toward them, completing it just in time for Gogeta to deflect Boo's attack.
He absorbed South Supreme Kai as Kid Buu.
To fit the story, Goku would do the dance while Boo is flying across the planet toward them, completing it just in time for Gogeta to deflect Boo's attack.
Okay, that would be pretty cool. Bonus points if Buu is coming at them so fast that the planet's crust is literally being torn up in his wake.

We're talking 7 or 8 seconds of being a completely stationary target.

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.It's been awhile since I've done a true fan fic(mainly because the websites I used are gone) and it would seem kind of redundant, since Super is supposedly introducing new material.
Not to mention it would involve rewatching GT for research purposes, but I just may, if Super takes too long retreading.
Buldogue's lawyerThe other drawback of using the Fusion Dance and cutting out the Potara is that it means losing the epic chest bump

Indeed.
And a pretty awesome voice.
