Still, I feel like there's a large portion of the fanbase that'd totally want that. Even if it's ridiculous.
The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!And still no heroism from Gohan.
Why oh why must academic achievement be separate from superhero-ing? Gohan would be the nerdiest superhero ever, and his wife was a public superhero, and his daughter is already capable of flight. Is a Saiyan version of The Incredibles too much to ask?

Gohand and Videl would need like 2 more children for there to be a DB Incredibles.
But a functioning family cannot also be super heroes.

Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice. Johan GOHAN isn't the hero because Toriyama wants to write Goku and only Goku.
I think we all just have to accept that.

It's never going to stop be disappointing that the series is going on past the point in which a very poignant BAMF character is simply irrelevant. Goku is the hero every American child who isn't obssessed with Power Rangers or Pro Wrestling loves, and yes, he's a great character. But seeing his son overcome his hurtles and become the...

It amazes me that it doesn't irk you. I mean if Goku or Vegeta had been shafted would anyone still be watching Super? Would Dragonball still have any meaning to you? Thus, it's the characters you're attached to that really sell a show, even when you've matured past the point where that show amazed you with every episode. I'm not really watching Super because I find it intellectually stimulating or because it's prompting questions about life I want to see answered. I'm watching it because I've grown strangely aroused hearing Masako Nozawa scream things in Goku's voice and wish to hear more of it.
I mean really, imagine Dragonball Super if Goku and Vegeta weren't around, or if they'd both agreed to stop training and retired to a cabin somewhere with their wives - and maybe every 5 or 10 episodes we cut to a filler of them being lumberjacks and eating steak for dinner. That'd irk a bunch of people.

Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.I mean, I've decided to not bother going doom-and-gloom on these characters. The fact that Future Trunks came back because of a suggestion by the editorial department means that honestly any fanservice-y thing can happen in this series now if somebody thinks it'll sell.
...except maybe Broly. Hopefully not Broly.
The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!Not gonna lie, I would love for Broly to be in the series and made canon just to see the collective meltdown that would occur.
This song needs more love.Broly's basically a 13 year old's Original Character made official; he has a transformation never seen before with a pretentious name "LEGENDARY SUPER SAIYAN", has some connection to the established main characters, one of said characters is scared absolutely shit-less of him when he's normally known to fight opponents until he's physically incapable. Demolishes said main characters rather effortlessly. Wolverine Publicity, (notice how he's the only movie character to be the antagonist of three films, though technically the last time was a clone and not the genuine thing but still...)
They gave him Super Saiyan 3 and 4 for whatever reason etc etc, and then you have fan projects like Dragon Ball Multiverse wanking him even more.
Its not hard to understand why he's not particularly well-liked for basically embodying everything terrible about DB fanon in general.
A lazy millennial who's good at what he does.Reasons why I, personally, hate Broly: he isn't canon, and follows the trend of non-canon characters having a shit character design, simply due to not being designed by Toriyama. He hates Goku due to Goku crying while they were babies, which is the stupidest character motivation ever conceived in fiction. His creator is a huge fanboy of him. He's just generically evil, until the second movie where he's literally brain-dead. Also, this:
*flashbacks to some kid in Sunday School desperately trying to convince me that Broly was a good character and justified in his hatred of Goku because, according to him, Goku was actually pampered and given all sorts of stuff that Broly didn't get, meanwhile, I'm just confused because I didn't even know what Dragon Ball was at the time, and I didn't learn who Broly was properly until years after reading the manga*
And all that.

Hey, I like Broly; I also always figured that his Super Saiyan 3 and 4 forms look like that because the mutated genes he has that caused the Legendary Super Saiyan form in the first place ended up affecting every form he had past that.
Also, his creator is not a fanboy of him; here's what the wiki said about it.

Vegeta as Main Character would fail so hard he would underflow and roll back into success.
