How did all those huge guys fit in the space pods?

You see all those huge guys like broly, special ginyu forces or nappa, traveling in the same-sized space pods as the regular and small guys. Seems obvious to me that this doesn't make much sense.

Also anyone noticed how you never see the huge guys going throught doors? It's like, I never saw Piccolo entering the Kamehouse, the scene always begins with them inside.

Vegeta and other small guys fit in the pods with ease. It's just a tighter squeeze for Nappa.

Here's an image:

Piccolo probably has to take his cape off and crouch-walk to enter Kame House.

Burter is over nine feet tall and bulky as hell, he probably weighs around 600 pounds.

He's probably referring to the Bardock special. Zarbon was the one who first recommended destroying Planet Vegeta because the saiyans were rapidly growing in strength.
It was actually Beerus disguised as Zarbon #StayWoke

Like with Freeza, where he starts off over 10 times stronger than all his henchmen except Ginyu (because...well, just because), then we find out he can transform and get even more powerful, and then he reveals he can transform two more times, before finally coming out with the fact that he hasn't even been using anywhere near 50% of his power. Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.

I imagine that there much roomier inside the space pods, but honestly prehaps there's bigger space pods? This truly was never addressed in canon. So uh, bigger space pods?

Pretty sure all spacepods are exactly the same:

Nappa and Vegeta have the same spacepod, and Nappa standing up is like 4 times Vegeta or something. To me it woudln't fit.

Those things always looked so claustrophobic to ride in not to mention uncomfortable, and the idea of drifting through space in a tiny pod on your own sounds maddening

I always thought they just slept for basically the entire trip.

Yeah that's what it looked like although Vegeta and Nappa talk to each other in theirs (though I think that's anime filler) I bet Toriyama probably based it on something from pop culture like the stasis that they have in Alien

I just assume that they all curl up into a ball and stay in a Sonic the Hedgehog-like position for the whole trip.

Looks like they stopped off to set their wake up timer and also dye Vegeta's hair and buy some new clothes while they were at it.

Nappa also got an armor change, too.

Wasn't his armour the same as in his 1st appearance?

He must feel awful. Being a God and no one respects him. Just sad.
And Zamasu thought he had it bad. Fuckin' edgy Kaios thinking about "Justice" and shit just because they got strong by chance.
