** While well liked in the early years of the series. Mr.Popo now has a notable amount of DBZ fans who are split on what they think of [=DBZA's=] approach to him due to the increasing {{Flanderization}} of simply going from acknowledging Popo's defensive feat against Trunks and Goten, to being a full on AdaptationalBadass nigh-untouchable abomination who's got more than a few abilities that could be considered a StoryBreakPower. It got worse when it was confimed Popo was actually Team Four Star's Patroller OC now experiencing the vents of Dragon Ball. Fans either think that he fits just fine as all of his feats are not given any actual importance to the plot and is treated as a joke more than anything who brings some humorous moments, or it comes off as Popo's simply turned into a borderline parody of overpowered [=OCs=] that has been overhyped and is uninteresting as a result.

** The ''Broly'' special was pretty well-liked, but some fans took issue with Team Four Star really hammering their dislike for [[CreatorsPest Broly]], taking pot shots at his fans, and ending the special with an uncomfortable gag with Chi-Chi demanding a divorce.

** The ''Broly'' special was pretty well-liked, but some fans took issue with Team Four Star really hammering their dislike for [[CreatorsPest Broly]], taking pot shots at his fans, and ending the special with an uncomfortable gag with Chi-Chi demanding a divorce. As such, opinions are split whether the special was well handled, and just something to be enjoyed or just one long dig at Broly fans with a unfunny punchline.

*** Killing his timeline's version of Cell while taunting him.giving a very UndignifiedDeath is fitting considering what a monster the other version of Cell had been.

** Several viewers didn't realize that Gohan pissing on Krillin in ''[[Anime/DragonBallZDeadZone Dead Zone]]'' and the FreezeFrameBonus of Goku's nuts exploding after he gets a GroinAttack in ''[[Anime/DragonBallZSuperAndroid13 Super Android 13]]'' were in the original films and not edits by TFS.

** Is Paragus as much of an AbusiveParent here as he is in canon? Even the members of Team Four Star debate this in their episode commentary. On the one hand, Paragus abandons Broly to die on New Vegeta once he's assured his plot against Vegeta will succeed. On the other, the Abridged version doesn't use a PowerLimiter to control Broly, knows that once Broly is triggerred he can't really be controlled, and can reasonably assume Broly will survive New Vegeta's destruction (like he did for Old Vegeta). Team Four Star point out that him pleading with Goku to stop trying to figure out Broly's trigger word could be read a few different ways; genuine concern for his son's well-being, self-preservation because Broly is so dangerous when triggered, or exasperation just because trying to de-escalate Broly when he gets going is really annoying.

** During his nightmare in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Chi-Chi tells Gohan that being able to prove or disprove the Riemann Hypothesis is more important than saving the world. The Riemann Hypothesis is one of the greatest unsolved problems of mathematical theory; Chi-Chi is basically demanding that Gohan be able to win a Nobel Prize rather than defeat Cell.

** ''History of Trunks'' has people going around as usual, unconcerned about the danger of the Cyborgs until it affects them directly, by which time it's too late. As [=KaiserNeko=] says in the developer's commentary, it's far too believable in a post-[[UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic COVID]] world.

* MemeticMutation: The show is a FountainOfMemes in the ''Dragon Ball'' fandom, but there are some specific jokes for Creator/TeamFourStar and the show. Some notable examples include:
** "GODDAMIT NAPPA!"[[labelnote:explanation]]Vegeta's CharacterCatchphrase in expressing his frustration towards Nappa[[/labelnote]]
** "Pecking order!"[[labelnote:explanation]][[MemeticMolester Mr. Popo's]] favorite phrase[[/labelnote]]
** "WEN BROLY?!/WEN X" [[labelnote:explanation]]Fans were waiting for YEARS for Team Four Star to abridged the Broly movie, to the point it became an InJoke, with Team Four Star posting the Abridgimon movie first as a Broly movie, and using the joke as a way to defeat Diaboromon. It then became a joke for the fandom to use variations, like "WEN HATCHYJACK/BOJACK/[[Anime/DragonBallGT GENERAL RILDO]]".[[/labelnote]]

* LoveToHate:LoveToHate: It helps that by the end of a given season every one of the villains tends to [[BreakTheHaughty get a physical and emotional beating for their sins]], and knowing it's coming eventually makes their bad attitudes in the lead-up fuel for CatharsisFactor later.
** Vegeta is an arrogant asshole who treats everyone around him like garbage even ''after'' his HazyFeelTurn and barely learns anything or grows at all between seasons, but his audacious attitude and insecure yet overinflated ego is [[CrossesTheLineTwice sometimes pretty funny]].
