Zamasu is kind of the oddball of DB villains, since he's pretty much the only one not motivated by either petty self interest or inherit evil nature. He's an idealist that wants to make the world a better place, and fights for what he believes in.... unfortunately he's also a total loon and he believes in some pretty ghastly things.
Watch that furball Go D turn out to be stronger than Beerus.....
See, I don't believe Zamasu is meant to be a parody like so many people claim; his threat is very clearly treated seriously more often than not, and even Goku actually takes him seriously near the end of it. There's some levity with him here and there, but definitely not to the point of being a parody...perhaps the crying bit, but that's literally one moment.
Zamasu is basically what happens when you put a JRPG villain in a series where biggest conflict comes from if the heroes can't punch the villains hard enough to defeat them.

A lazy millennial who's good at what he does.I mean, yea it's mostly a joke but look at him; he's literally a Dragon Quest villain. He even has pretentious attack names like a typical JRPG villain.
But tbh, that makes it really cool in my eyes that lame, but I'm a Dragon Quest fan so.

A lazy millennial who's good at what he does.The thing is, Yakuzu, that you're confusing the characters treating him as a serious and credible threat, which he was, with the production treating him as a serious character, which... given that one of the most well known gifs of super is the guy hugging himself with a smile, or him crying, or Vegetto being weirded out by his antics - it's clear that they didn't.
Zamasu is a strong and serious threat to the heroes, it's just that this is Dragon Ball and you're allowed to be a parody while also being an incredibly serious threat.
Hell, Majin Buu is basically evil Kirby and the plot still threats him very seriously.
himitsu keisatsu seifu chokuzoku kokka hoanbu na no da himitsu keisatsu yami ni magireru supai katsudou torishimariYeah, and Kirby kicked Buu's ass that one time, which means he can kick everyone's ass in that part of the series.

Let's see if you can get past my Beelzemon. Mephiles, WARP SHINKA!That Death Battle was even more bullshit than Gaara Vs Toph.
himitsu keisatsu seifu chokuzoku kokka hoanbu na no da himitsu keisatsu yami ni magireru supai katsudou torishimariHe has a "back halo" and names his attacks "Something of Judgement" and "Divine Retribution" IIRC.
Although I suppose I have to give him credit for going backwards on the Bishounen Line.

I'M MR. MEESEEKS, LOOK AT ME!I've seen people claim that Zaraki Kenpachi could somehow beat Broly because "his sword can cut anything." They forget that Broly can bust a planet while laughing, and Kenpachi has never tanked such an attack.
People will believe whatever they want to believe, if their mind is made up from the beginning.
That would have been the perfect stopping point.
The last of Freeza's family jettisoned off into the sun. No explanation given to how the Super Saiyan transformation works except in guidebooks, and Gohan? Psh, what about Gohan? Dragonball ending on a camping trip would have been hysterical.
Vegeta went off into space and never came back. It's said that his actions would later cause a far-off constellation to change color.

I'M MR. MEESEEKS, LOOK AT ME!Or: Vegeta went into space, ran out of fuel and food and then died. He'll never bother anyone ever again. He did manage to take out the rest of Freeza's empire while Cooler was busy with Goku though so that's a plus.
himitsu keisatsu seifu chokuzoku kokka hoanbu na no da himitsu keisatsu yami ni magireru supai katsudou torishimariI know is a page too late, but someone said Obito is another "whiny guy with a tragic past". The person forgot to say the Naruto manga itself already has Sasuke and other characters following this archetype, making Obito more moot and giving me a giant disgust in my mouth with Naruto calling him the coolest guy. So now you are a murderer apologist, right Naruto?.
Also, I enjoy Zamasu. Mostly because he is such a pretentious prick, I freaking love to hate him. For me, some of Dragon Ball Super funnier moments involve him (The hug, talking alone, heck, the whole cabin in the woods is just perfect for a joke). Besides, I freaking love the moment both him and Black call Trunks a sinner: is such a perfect demonstration on how much of a hypocrite he is, and is just looking for excuses to say he is in the right. Compared with Naruto, Gowasu pitying him actually makes some sense, and gives more depth to Gowasu as a character, no matter how minor he is.
Besides, Merged Zamasu has some of my favorite quotes in the show. (My form is justice! and "Where will you ask for help now, Trunks, the past, the future?")

To win, you need to adapt, and to adapt, you need to be able to laugh away all the restraints. Everything holding you back.Watching clips from across the entire franchise. Somehow ended up watching a compilation that was just dinner scenes and the characters eating stuff.
Call me crazy, but I think Toriyama might really like food.
I like the irony that humans might not be particularly powerful warriors nor bright enough to leave their backwater planet and have a role in the galaxy besides beyond being in crosshairs, but the fact that their food is literally the most delicious in the multiverse grants them the "favor" (well, more like "continued non-ire") of the gods whereas Beerus couldn't give less of a fuck about the Saiyans or Freeza.

On acid, yes.
