I watched it, but it is not canon thus I do not have any issue with it. Everyone who likes Dragonball and Z, but dislikes GT would probably feel better about the franchise if we all simply consider it to be ultimately irrelevant to the official storyline.
I don't have an issue with "Dragonball GT" for the most part. I just can't stand the comedy scenes during the series. Speaking of which, why do everybody detest DBGT so much?
The plot of Dragonball Grand Tour is not nearly as good as Dragonball and Dragonball Z. Also, many do like that the series continued beyond Z after its creator, Toriyama-san, refused to make any new media for it despite pressure from family, fans, and Toei Animation.
I understand that Grand Tour isn't nowhere near as good as DBZ. As for Dragonball, I only watched some of them. Therefore, I can't comment on the series. Fans in the Dragonball community really need to get over this ridiculous amount of hatred of DBGT realize that it's part of the family (I'm not saying you at all) & stop acting like the series doesn't exist.
Hatred for it is excessive and even ironically so in the case of some people.
In short, Dragonball and Dragonball Z are epic tails that have natural progression even until the end of the Buu saga. Contrastingly, Dragonball GT feels forced.
Besides that, I feel that I should explain myself. For me, Dragonball Z with original audio along with the Ocean and Funimation dubs holds a special place in my heart as something astonishing, exciting, and thought-provoking as well as being very motivational as a martial artist. After watching Dragonball Z, I eventually felt the same way about Dragonball once I had the opportunity to watch it (With original audio as well). There were times when I have been training and I felt like I could not move another inch, but the idea of someone like a member of the Z Warriors even being thought of and their training regimens being exponentially more difficult has inspired me to continue pushing myself. My studies are an intellectual pursuit as much as a physical one if not more.
Within Dragon Ball GT is the lacking of intense training that Dragonball is known and admired for and the result of replacing that with greater exploration and adventure, but such is a fundamental part of the franchise thus it should not have been considered optional. The very beginning with Son vs Uub is amazing because that is their training, but after that increases of abilities come from fusion as well as staring at the earth and turning into an Oozaru, Bebi Vegeta doing the same without a tail, and using a machine to turn into SSJ4. The training segments were replaced by convenient plot devices either used before or in the form of complementary when they would have been better suited as supplementary. Worse yet was how every protagonist except Son Goku became unable to win major battles and eventually the most everyone other than Vegeta did was power up Goku.
I obviously have much to say about this franchise, but I will not act as if it is without flaws or redundancies before GT.
