I would like for them to be at least mid-twenties or older, mainly because Krillin's 30.

One other thing: Why does Gohan start wearing glasses later? Like, does he need them? Because I think he takes them off to fight.
Backwater yes, but when Nappa went on his sightseeing tour he said it was nice planet and that they could get a good price for it.

It's easier to see a dude throwing a Kamehameha at you than it is to read small text from 50 feet away.
Besides, taking them off to fight makes perfect sense. I take my glasses off whenever I'm in a situation that might result in punches being thrown. The last thing you want in a fight is jagged shards of broken glass in your eyes.
Plus, y'know, ki-sensing and all that so it's not like Gohan actually needs to be able to see his opponent at all.

Because it doesn't matter.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.There's honestly no in-universe reason for the meteor story.
The actual out-of-universe reason is that Toriyama hadn't thought of Freeza yet. Why does Vegeta call himself the strongest in the universe when we first meet him? I guess ego is a plausible excuse in-universe. But out of universe, because Toriyama hadn't thought of Freeza yet.

"And when the last law was down and the Devil turned round on you, where would you hide, the laws all being flat?"![]()
That's a reason not to fabricate a story.
Of course the real reason, as given in the original manga, is because he wanted to fool the remaining Saiyans into serving him, more specifically Vegeta, who he intentionally spared because he still had utility. Minus neglects that and makes everyone involved look like a dumbass. Especially Freeza and Vegeta.

Except that runs counter to Freeza's general policy which is and has always been "serve me and you live". Vegeta, Nappa and especially Raditz were not important enough for Freeza to play a pantomime so that they served him.

I know that's what he did. It just makes absolutely no sense from what we know about any of them and is only there to reconcile the pre-Freeza meteor story with Freeza being responsible for the destruction of planet Vegeta. That's the point I was trying to make - it's massively out of character for Freeza.
While there's plenty to argue about Minus being stupid, that's something that was plenty stupid in the OG manga.

"And when the last law was down and the Devil turned round on you, where would you hide, the laws all being flat?"Not really. Coz then the implication is "A Bright Light"note causes more pain and discomfort and is more debilitating that rock-levelling ki blasts the characters shrug off constantly.

Well, if you believe that Frieza was also terrified of the possibility of a Super Saiyan, I suppose you could justify both him getting rid of most of them while making up a cover story to the ones who remained.
Although by that logic it's kind of hard to reconcile keeping Vegeta around. He had to have been the most talented Saiyan there was, having surpassed his father as a child. You'd think Frieza would be more worried about him becoming a Super Saiyan than any of them.
I have no trouble believing that. It's not like it's ever been implied they can train their eyes to not be affected by bright light (or at least it doesn't come up with their usual training).

If one was born at 30 seconds before midnight, and one was born about 30 seconds after, it would be possible, if only for that short period of time.
