yeah in the end it even Goku was saying things like 'if you want to fight me again, just train/learn some new tricks and come back later'

Tricks like "blow up your planet from a farther distance", which he really should've done.

Well he wasn't very successful at blowing it up at close range so I'm not sure how easily he could have done it from a distance.tongue

Long range spares him from his crippling performance anxiety.

of course from a long range Goku might have actually been able to intercept said attack

Isn't it wonderful how Freeza could blow up Planet Vegeta without breaking a sweat in his first form, yet in his final form (which is something like 20 times stronger even at 50% power), he can't blow up Namek instantaneously?

Well, it was only in the Bardock special that he instantly destroys Vegeta.tongue

Goku mentions that Freeza was afraid he might not survive the blast and so he subconsciously held back or something, I don't remember.tongue

Also 50% power Freeza is ~110x stronger than first form Freeza.

well in the manga we do see three panels referencing said special. Though we dont actually see the planet exploding, just Bardock dying

He probably did better in the Bardock special because there was someone screaming his name.

No performance issues.

Don't forget that his own men were also in the way; Freiza loves killing his own men!

manga Frieza only kills Namekian children, Saiyans and Krillin

Why didn't he just wish for Namek to be fixed or for everyone to be resurrected?

Never trust anyone who uses "degenerate" as an insult.

I can't tell what Frieza says after the KIDNEY SHOT sequence. "Dodo is red"?

I think he said either "yellow is red" or "I'mma whizz red" or something like that.

Probably the latter, since, you know, he got a bunch of kidney punches.

It's "Imma wizz red". Good times, that video has some of the best lines.

I'm going to whizz red, as in he's going to piss blood after those kidney shots.

Dende made the best wish for the scenario in both the abridged and original series, because they still didn't know how much collateral damage would be caused by the still ongoing fight. Frieza could've just tried to blow the planet up again.

And they could always wish for a New Namek (which they indeed did) or to return to the old one, down the line.
