17 is his new favourite more like based on the ridiculous amount of good treatment he received.

I think one of those working at Toei is an admitted fan of 17, if I'm not wrong.

Um, yeah, but the person you're referring to is also a fan of all the characters, so that's not really saying much.

Why do you think this? What are some of the hints you see leading you to believe this? What are these elements about Whis that you say(?) that you(?) think like(?)?

No one likes every character the same so whoever you are talking about will treat characters differently and sometimes they subconscious do treat some characters better based on these preferences.

Yes, but what does one writers favouritism of a character have to do with the influence of the base script, which isn't something they have any creative control of.

I think it would be safe to say that Toriyama has great fun with anything involving Beerus, Whis and Freeza, among the contemporary Dragon Ball cast.

One of the reasons is Beerus who is inspired by Akira's cat and Whis is his master (Akira)

Makes sense right??

No. Whis is Beerus' attendant, not his master.

Whis is just a magician! He is the very definition of a plot solver! Makes the writing so much easier, can rewind time? Yup. Can fast forward pregnancy? Yup. Can travel through universes? Yup. Can resurrect people from the dead? Yup. It is just he is very convenient to have around.

He is basically a plot device.

So he basically has the same role as the dragon balls, only way more convenient? Maybe the series should be renamed "Whis"

Both Whis and Toriyama are master trolls, so I see your point.
