They've got a point. This was the movie where they REAAALLLY nailed in the "Gohan is the Audience Surrogate and the Kid-Appeal Character and look he's got a dragon! How cool!"
And it had nothing to do with the main plot at all.
The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!One part I liked in the Freeza saga was that when Guldo dropped that steamroller on Krillin, the latter just got up like nothing happened. It shows that while Krillin may be the Butt-Monkey when Yamcha is not around, he is still stronger than the average human.
I'm guessing they didn't bother much with the filler then?
Which brings to some thing:
In Abridged, King Kai just tosses the Ginyu force off his planet.
The Ginyu who are supposed to be stronger than Vegeta (though that did change).
Vegeta, who, alongside Nappa, was stronger than King Kai.
......Am I missing something here, or did they just hate filler that much, and not want to bother with it? I mean, if Abridged King Kai never says Nappa and Vegeta are stronger than him, that's fine, but there still seems like there's some Shenanigans that needs to be called.

One Strip! One Strip!I think you already brought up the answer. Abridged!King Kai never said the Saiyans were stronger than him. So he's presumably stronger than the Ginyu Force. I guess.
The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!Because Toei cares nothing for consistency.
In Toei's Hell, everyone has their bodies. There's tons of filler with bodied characters in Hell. The most egregious would be that time that Frieza and Cell broke out of Hell, forcing Goku and Filler-Character Pikkon to have to go put them back down.
