When you're talking about millions of people, that's untenable even with Porunga's three wishes and dramatically reduced refractory period.

Except Poruga can wish multiple people back to life now, we see him do it in the Buu Saga.

someone should wish for a Dragon Ball creation kit.

I still posit that someone should wish for Shenron to be their best friend.

That was Porunga? I'd forgotten whether it was him or Shenron 2: Draconic Boogaloo.

Something I just realized earlier today. These new movies now completely invalidate the end of the series. Why does Goku give a shit about Uub? At that point, Uub should be so hilariously beneath him as to be no different than a normal human. Why does Goku need a successor? He and Vegeta are two of the four most powerful beings in the Universe, and Goku is now a god. Why does he care about Goten not training? Goten will never, ever, ever, ever, in a billion years, catch up to him. It's ludicrous.

[up]Gonna assume the other two are Beerus and Whis and you arn't counting umm...Gold Freiza >.>

I think the biggest thing I find ludicrous - and there are many - is the fact that the higher SSJ forms are just different colored hair.

The last episode is also after Unrevival of G, wherein Goku loses god power forever.

Yeah, the ending of the manga seems to have been retconned.

Although Goku and Vegeta do need successors since, even with their massive power, I doubt that they'll live as long as Beerus (who apparently will eventually die).

So Goku's a god but can still die? What kinda bullshit is that?

"Yo, Shenron. Make me immortal. Everyone else is so far behind that if I die, everything's fucked. So, make me not-die-able."

"Shit, I was wondering when someone was gonna wish for that. About fucking time."

The main problem is the assumption that Goku is grooming Uub to be his successor, and not just training him to be a fantastic rival to fight against.

Uub exists for the same reason Piccolo and Vegeta were spared: Goku loves fighting tough enemies. Wishing for him to be reincarnated with all of his power intact allowed him to have Majin Buu's power for a rival without keeping Majin Buu's personality around; Goku found a solution to the fundamental flaw in his "I want to fight you again!" plan that was made apparent when Frieza broke his mercy.

"Uh. Funny story."
"What?"
"I can't actually do that."
"WHAT?!"
"Yeah. Can't be done. Crazy how these rumors start popping up when the word 'wish' starts flying around. Usually there's enough backstabbing when wish time happens that nobody actually makes that wish. Sorry, dude."

Question: Are Shenron and Porunga actually, y'know, sapient beings with their own independent thought and life? Or are they more or less just magical constructs that grant wishes via voice interface?

Shenron started to actually freak out once he was informed of Beerus being there so I assume that it's the former.

Also, as for his being outclassed, if Four Months of Training can put Frieza at God-tier, imagine what it can do for the human equivalent of Majin Buu.

Battle of Gods broke the Final Chapter, not Revival of F, by letting Goku absorb the God power. Revival of F fixes it.

i bet if Shenron got off his lazy ass,he'd be able to get stronger than Goku too.

Shenron's battle power is three digits. He'd have a long ways to go to catch up to Goku.

Bear in mind that Frieza's four months of training was actually more on the order of about five decades.

Frieza just thinks that's four months.
