*Super Saiyan Blue being used in too many unnecessary situations and also it being matched or dominated by practically everyone
*Super's writing on what SSB is. In one instance, the form as "the perfect ki control" and "saps less strength [...than...] Super Saiyan 2 and 3", in another instance, it drains a lot of stamina
*Toei's movie retellings basically screwing up whatever authenticity the movies had
*The vast misinformation on the DB Wiki on Wikia/Fandom
*The fact that SSB Vegetto can't last 5 minutes in a fight
*Vegetto's name, sometimes; would much rather prefer "Vegerotto" and thus "Vegerot"
*Hit being rung out early
*The Omni-Kings

Hopefully, I'll have more.

Jesus almighty fucking Christ do I want to strangle DBs fandom sometimes.
For what it's worth, unless they've changed it in the last couple of years, that's not how the Time Gem has ever really worked, on its own, anyway. It gives the user vague clairvoyant abilities and can hopscotch its owner through time, when it chooses, but it's not an offensive weapon without the Power Gem backing it.

The continual Super Saiyan forms that are literally just recolored SS1. It was interesting with God, but now that Blue and Rosé have followed, it's just...why? Please do something different.

Ultra Insinct...? That's pretty different, I would say.

I like Ultra Instinct, but not really. It's just base Goku with silver eyes

It's... Base Goku with silver eyes and wind machine? Let's not get too far out with this 'pretty different' talk. You couldn't even tell from further away whether he's in base form or Ultra Instinct...

VegettoEX made some posts regarding this one on Twitter, but I really hate the trend of taking screenshots of Super or any other current Dragon Ball animation and mess it up with photoshop filters and call it "What if [blank] was made in 1990" and all that shit.

I also like Ultra Instinct, but it's basically base Goku with silver eyes.

I responded to someone saying that they didn't like the continual Super Saiyan recolor forms and wanted something else. Ultra Instinct is definitely something new. I don't care how simple the design is. I'd much rather have this than some overdesigned crap that most people seem to long for. Is it a really a bad thing that it's simple?

You said Ultra Instinct is "pretty different" looking. It's just really not. And where did I say simple = bad? I said I liked the form but it's not really that different because it's a technique and not a form (I think.)

What qualifies as an "overdesign"? What makes them crap?

Underdesigned is just as bad as overdesigned though.

Toriyama or Toei wanting everyone(Goku, Gohan, Krillin, Yamcha, sort of Goten) to wear the kame gi. I mean its understandable for Goku because it's so iconic for his character. But give the others some originality, Gohan should have gone back to his blue red belted gi for the TOP.

That new filter the TOP arc introduced makes it real weird to look at old episodes of Super. :D

Sean's tries to focus on badassery, Macho-ness, Manliness and in serious situation it may even sound like a generic Hollywood movie hero and not goku at all but his Goofy part sounds forced when he tries to make the voice as high as possible, Kelamis and Corlett managed to sound natural for both serious and goofy goku and we didn't see any gruff tone that we see in Sean's goku, even Nozawa's voice only deepens to a point but still it feels like goku in ssj3 not the same can be said for Sean. I can't see how Milton James sounds like Ryo Horikawa.
A guy who frequents this forum thinks he does. I don't hear it. Brian Drummond is the one that sounds the closest to Horikawa.

Funnily enough in the promo poster for the manga Gohan seems to be in a purple GI.
Yamcha almost certainly did not cheat on Bulma:
He was afraid of Women, Bulma was the flirty one.
Yamcha wanted to get married (it was his gonna be his wish)
He suggested they settle down in the Trunks saga.
Alternate future Trunks is not a reliable source.
Toriyama wanted new SSJ Kids and not make new characters.
