I mean... maybe? I'm more inclined to believe that the people who are complaining don't realize how childish these franchises have been all along.

I think that fans selectively remember the "badass" stuff from their childhood favorites and conveniently forget all of the juvenilia. DBZ is a good example. There's nothing more kiddie-centric in DB Super than Goku hanging out with King Kai and Mr Popo in DBZ. Fans don't necessarily remember that stuff as childish, though, probably because they were children when they first saw it.

Basically, Golden Age Syndrome is a very, very real thing in fandom.
