I don't think Vegeta got what he deserved.

He deserves so much worse.

[up]He got a beat down and a constant reminder that everyone likes Goku better than him. I'd say it was about right. tongue

I see like Raditz Vegeta has carried on the Saiyan tradition of being Spoofed with Their Own Words.

Also, I agree with Unnoun. Vegeta's humiliation must continue to worsen.

You are not alone.

I do like Yamcha tracking Goku's screaming times. A rare time when Yamcha provides humor without something awful happening to him.

I think the "Screaming up a lot of blood" line was better because ouch.

Chi-Chi's indifference sealed it.

There's still Cell and then Buu beatdowns left in the series. Plus, doesn't Trunks actually clobber Vegeta during the Cell fight?

He hits Vegeta with a huge blast to stop Vegeta from letting Second Stage Cell absorb Android 18 which both shocks and impresses Vegeta. Ultimately it was for nothing though, but it was still great to watch.

Vegeta gets enough crap in the series, let alone the abridged series. And let's not even start on the films.

No.

Initially a villain, becomes an ally, hooks up with Bulma... I don't see how Vegeta isn't a new Yamcha.

Because Yamcha is the series' Yamcha.

Vegeta gets wanked everywhere too, though.

You know what I just realized Vegeta is?
The beta Saiyan

He only got wanked in Battle Of Gods.

Seriously, it's totally downhill for him after the Frieza Saga.

Gets married to the most obnoxious woman on the face of the planet.

His son doesn't turn out to be the badass swordsman that his future self was.

He's still the Beta Saiyan.

He gets bitchslapped by Cell. Twice.

He gets bitchslapped by Meta Cooler.

He gets bitchslapped by Bojack.

He turns into an asshole again, then gets bitchslapped by Majin Buu.

He dies after failing to kill Buu.

He gets bitchslapped by Janemba in the afterlife, (though, this is one of the few times he actually something better than Goku, so, positive).

He comes back to life, only to get bitchslapped by Super Buu.

He gets bitchslapped by Buu a third time while inside Buu's body.

He gets pummeled by Kid Buu even faster than Goku did.

He gets 50 seconds of screen time in Wrath of the Dragon, and gets bitchslapped by Hirudegarn.

And finally, he gets bitchslapped by Bills.

[up][up]As compared to everyone else, who becomes more or less irrelevant, including Gohan and Piccolo at times?

[up][up][up]This arc, he has taken to calling Yamcha the "beta male" (when he really should be using the term "omega male").

A wild question appears! Are they gonna abridge any of the other movies?

Do not obey in advance.

Meta-Cooler movie will likely happen some time after Dende is appointed Earth's guardian. Dunno if we'll get World's Strongest re-abridged or not, but I assume so.

KaiserNeko said in an FAQ on his Tumblr at one point that they want to abridge the other movies, they just don't want to do it until they reach the point of the series that the movie is supposed to take place in the continuity. For example, Bojack Unbound won't be abridged until between the Cell Saga and the Buu Saga.

That's how they've done it so far, yeah.

Meta-Cooler will likely be after Dende becomes guardian, Androids will probably be after that but before Super Vegeta. Broly would be during the 10-day wait before the Cell Games, and Bojack right after the Cell Games.
