1. Fans are so mesmerized by the pretty visuals that they are willing to ignore the pure, rampaging force of bad-film that the film spews at all times, or 2. Their nostalgia-filters are overruling their good sense.
Both are valid.
Having watched some of the original animated show I can tell you there was almost always a plot but it was drug out almost as bad as DBZ was. The difference was people got tired of it and the show tanked.
I get no nostalgia from remakes like this but I’m sure that’s what’s driving a chunk of the older audience.
