When I was a kid, I enjoyed it for the fictional-fantasy setup.
What boy or young man doesn't like action, violence, explosions, intricacies between good and evil, the sci-fi elements that defy our understanding of restrictive fundamental & elementary laws of physics, chemistry, biology, reality etc., and a way to not worry about chores, homework or whatever?
I didn't see Japanese mythology or Chinese mythology or Asian mythologies. I didn't cared about who or why created this animation/cartoon/audio-visual theater; I cared that it was entertaining for me, amusing & technical in its own ruleset reality (despite being the figment of imagination from another person).
I didn't extrapolated politics, social sciences issues, economics etc.
I enjoyed a story. A work of fiction.
I didn't watched Dragon Ball Z until very late, in my teens & young adulthood.
I never watched GT because I didn't liked the color palette (the world & characters were more orangey or beige for some reason) & because I couldn't get over the imixion they wanted to do, using Dragon Ball charisma & simple appeal, with the complexities/background built further from Dragon Ball Z.
I started to watch Super, only after they reached their final arc, so that I could have time.
