I'm not sure which is more hilarious, the observation of how much Yamcha ultimately sucked or those who are so invested in & seriously upset over him being the threads's Butt-Monkey.

Improving as an author, one video at a time.We wouldn't necessarily need the living female Saiyan to be full-blooded. Gohan handled himself just fine.
More female characters definitely would have been nice. GT, non-canon though it was, tried giving us two female Saiyans in Pan and Bra, which was a step forward but still felt like a step backward when they went on to be the only Saiyan protagonists who don't become Super Saiyans and, in Bra's case, the only Saiyan character who doesn't want to fight at all and just wants to shop all day and spend Daddy's money.
Progressive, anime is not.
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.I was saying Full Saiyan because it seemed like Pan (1/4th saiyan) and Bra(1/2 Saiyan) were somewhat nerfed compared to the main fighters in the long run. Which seems odd because shouldn't Bra get a ridiculous boost in power like Gohan for being a half and half hybrid? Yet she shows absolutely none of that...
I agree with this, pretty much.

Because Bra had absolutely no interest in fighting, and just wanted to mooch off Daddy Vegeta. Who was surprisingly ok with it....seriously, I know Vegeta Took a Level in Kindness and all, but I don't think he would just let his daughter walk all over him with no resistance.
A lazy millennial who's good at what he does.It must be the moustache.
Yeah, GT would have been better if Pan were actually useful and could become a Super Saiyan. Gohan was doing it by her age. Goten and Trunks were doing it even earlier.

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!Seriously, comparing Trunks's upbringing to Bra's, Vegeta seems like a completely different character. Probably because that's what he was. Maybe GT Vegeta is just a misogynist who thinks girls are too fragile and delicate to bother training.

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.Maybe it was different just because she was his daughter. You could find the biggest, angriest, manly-man who's ever been manly. Tell him he's got a daughter, put the baby in his hands, he turns into a big sobbing pile of feels.
My various fanfics.Ya have to remember, also, that DBZ ended with Vegeta realizing that he'd been a douchebag, and promising to be better.
And hey, VEGETA never put anyone in a space pod.
My various fanfics.If there were more females in the series, it'd have to be written by someone OTHER than Toriyama. Dude can't write women.
My various fanfics.Yamcha's losing streak would be even higher as a bunch of new fighters show up for him to job to.
Nah but seriously, probably nothing. If you're talking about changing existing characters into females, well... I think people may actually accuse Toriyama of sexism given some of these characterizations. Especially Vegeta. More women from the get go definitely would have been a good thing, but of course they;d have to be saiyans less they fade into irrelevance.

I disagree. He SAYS he can't write them, but Chi-Chi's the only one I really have a problem with, and her personality actually makes sense - she's just as naive as Goku, and is trying to uphold a stereotype. She mellows out later, anyway.
Sorta like how he said he can't write romance but building up Gohan/Videl worked better than any of the 'skipped' romances he did.

Every fundamental force of universe owns Yamcha, not only gravity.
