I think it be amusing if the Saiyan girls keep following & pestering Goku so he can train them.

"Chi-Chi sorry but these girls keep following me & I don't know how to get rid of them."

I think Pan should be the Goku-like protagonist. Uub can be the Gohan: character with immense potential and rage boosts but hardly ever does anything. Bra can be the Vegeta.

[up][up]They'd travel across multi-verses just to train under Kakarrot?

Oooooohhh, that is dedication.

[up]But she actually gets along with Pan...

Make Bra less a combination of her parents and give her more unique character traits.

[up][up] Well she strikes me as the determined type. tongue

And we know Kale is gonna follow her cause those two are attached at the hip.

Besides its not like she's losing anything by travelling universes, Cauli doesn't seem particularly close to her brother & all she does is run a gang so she really isn't doing anything productive with her time.

I really wish Super was constrained by Z, I really felt that it limited the world building somewhat. With all the universes that had been introduced, I really wish the focus was more on fleshing out the world and characters rather stick with the usual formula.

DBZ has always been about going to Point A to Point B. It's always been a simple series & I never need DBZ to ever be more than that.

I wonder if there's any franchise besides Dragon Ball where so many people want to get rid of the main character.

"Chi-Chi sorry but these girls keep following me & I don't know how to get rid of them."

"Those are our daughters now. Finally I have kids who understand me!"

[up][up][up] True but this isn't DBZ & this isn't the 90s.

Its DBS & its the 2010's.

[up][up] I think she'd be okay with it.

[up] He's doesn't really like teaching though so that's a bit of a dilemma.

I found it interesting how GT had Oob basically be the Piccolo for the Baby arc. That's not a bad role for him, and it does make sense when Piccolo is one of the characters he is heavily patterned after.

[up][up] Not many franchises build up a new MC and then abruptly take it back.

Now he doesn't really like it as much & generally prefer's being the student.

His training of Gohan shows that he is a good teacher. Caulifla and Kale being good students on the other hand...

Ah, so just Gohan fanboys still being bitter after more than two decades. Can't say I sympathize.

That's completely missing the point and generalizing.

Building up a plot point for years only to abruptly cut it loose will stick it out in any franchise. It has nothing to do with fanboys.

Maybe that wouldn't have been problem if people stop bringing how crappy of a parent Goku is.

Yeah, and the length of time after that won't make the writing any better in retrospect.

That's just being rude, really. It's pretty easy to understand why people want an MC change when the story actually included that for a time and put the idea in people's minds. It even ends on that note.

Gohan repeatedly states he doesn't want to be a fighter instead he focus on his studies & being there for his family which in turn means he has little time to actually train. Fans gets angry about this.

Goku for the most part ignores his family & focus on his training with the occasion of taking the time to farm. Fans gets angry & call him a shitty father.

So Gohan should still be able to be a powerful fighter while also having a steady job & being there for his family & that's fair?

You guys totally convinced me. I totally believe now that it isn't just whining of crybaby fanboys. Noting but legitimate points here.

[up][up] Yes, because there is a problem with the assumption that you can't have a balance.
