Nah, I'll still take "Missing details" to "Details are so fucking stupid"
Again. Crying Baby.
"survived Vegeta's destruction for the same reason"
Should add that to the stupid pile next to the baby bit. Apparently Baby Broly can breathe in space the way the scene plays out.

And I don't let Single-Issue Wonk ruin everything for me. One detail of his backstory is stupid. The rest outweigh Jiren's measly one.
Also, Goku/Bardock can breath in space apparently.

A character who has any emotion at all but a not great backstory will always win out over a character with less emotion than cardboard and an average backstory for me.

That's pretty standard for me...
If stories can work with no characters, then yes.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.I don't think a character necessarily has to be emotive to be interesting, provided their stoicism and affectlessness is actually an intentional part of their character and is built around something.
Jiren's issue is he also has no personality, a very weak and backloaded backstory, and is ultimately defined solely by his power level, which when combined with his affectlessness makes him just boring.
He makes an okay obstacle, but that's all he is; an inanimate object to overcome.

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!![]()
It doesn't seem he intends to have a backlog of interesting story.

Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.I'm a fanboy of Yujiro Hanma, so I guess you're all right about that.
Buts that's the opinion I'm sticking to.
Watch SymphogearI don't even read/watch the manga/anime Hanma is from & yet I know he's got more personality than Jiren does.
You could replace Jiren with a robot & nothing would change....... huh that be better actually.

Which is disappointing.

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."

I put Jiren under because of how undetailed his backstory is.
At least with Broly you know what happened, born a mutant, almost got assassinated as an infant, & was mind-controlled by his dad for years. Disregarding the crying, adding all that up his rage makes sense.
Jiren his family was killed by an "evil-doer". That's it, so vague & poorly executed that it just feels thrown in.
