I think you were the one who came up with the point about mothers inheriting genes from their children.
I know it will never in a million years happen in the Work, but I really like that as a headcanon for Videl continuing to be able to become a Super Saiyan after Pan is born.
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.But for that to happen, Toriyama would need to be interested in his female characters being super saiyans, and they are too busy being housewives for that.
One Strip! One Strip!Honestly, if it weren't for the conspicuous lack of Pan going Super Saiyan in GT would any of you actually like the idea of Videl going Super Saiyan? Because I get the feeling if not for the first part you'd call bullshit and pandering on the second.
Not that the first part not happening isn't weird and a bit frustrating if you think about it but still.
I'd still like it.
It would mean Videl, of all people, would have the potential to break the "Humans are useless" stigma and catch up to the Saiyans. To become simultaneously a powerful human character AND a powerful female character, the likes of which we haven't seen since 18.
And it's Videl. I love Videl. She's fun.

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub."This is going to happen" and "This would be cool if it happened" are not the same thing.
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.That's accurate. Videl becoming a Super Saiyan fits into the "Actually has happened already" category.
Videl continuing to be able to transform, on the other hand, is in the "Would be cool if it happened" category.
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.I fucking hate Super for turning Videl's hair blonde during that scene.

When she turned into a Super Saiyan? The mode that always turns the user's hair yellow?

Eh. It was just some extra visual candy to emphasize Pan's potential power flowing through her.
Lets face it, we aren't getting canon female Super Saiyan any other way, are we?
Outside of that female player character from heroes, none exist.
One Strip! One Strip!So you mean Videl, who was only able to participate in that ritual because she got impregnated by a Saiyan and her child is part Saiyan, continuing to channel the power of the Saiyans to enter into a pseudo-Saiyan state would prove that humans don't have to be useless? And it would also let a female character be strong on her own despite the fact that she was only even apart of the whole thing and received the power because of being someone's fiancee and soon-to-be mother?
Because that's what it comes down to. Even assuming it is a cool idea (which I don't) I really don't see how it would make the point you seem to think it would make.

It wouldn't make a point at all. It would just be cool to have a powerful female character. Being human is also a bonus. That character being Videl would also be a neat bonus, because Videl is a fun character.

He served (or at least meant to serve a purpose) even if this did happen with Videl do you think she'd actually do anything?
I don't like things just to happen just because it might be cool or fun or whatever. That just takes away from it for me. If it does to you fine, but eh.

Even if it is that exchange allowing her to become a Super Saiyan would be the kind of nonsensical bullshit I'd expect out of a bad fanfiction.
