I will say this: Considering how everyone usually gravitates towards Zangya, making her the most sympathetic character of the gang, seeing it happen to Bujin in DBM is interesting.
Which's a little funny since Zangya was just as psychotic as the rest of Bojack's group, but then again so was Bujin...

Basically if you ever have a group of villains and there's one female character, fans will almost always gravitate towards her being less evil than her male comrades. Similarly if there's a group of villains and there's only one male character— he'll be more evil than his female comrades. This for a variety of reasons, and not 100% of the time (witches, for example, historically were more evil than male equivalents). But ultimately, you can also credit/blame coomers and the fact female fighters are rare enough as it is.

I'm aware of that.

That I didn't know, but I can see it happening.

Yeah, Zangya and Seripa are my go to examples of nothing characters with basically no screen time who are/were only popular because they're women, and while you can add a few extra details about Zangya compared to the rest from Bojack's gang (Such as the way she gets killed compared to the rest), Seripa is just there, but used to be liked enough lol.
Honestly though, I wonder why exactly DBM chose to make Bujin into the redeemable one, maybe it's because Zangya was too obvious and he was the only one left? Or is there an actual preference for him somewhat? I say somewhat because he still got killed off and Kat's group are the ones who really benefited from him changing sides, and there's no obvious favoritism towards him like there is with Bra.

My man, all Goku had to do was go SSJ3 and shock Vegeta so much the M on his head would have turned into an L and Buu would have never happened.
Are we too old to enjoy new Dragon Ball movies/series?

Guys, I'm going to be straight with you. If you feel the show has gotten 'silly' ... it hasn't. You're just 'too old for this shit'. Seriously, 95% of the people in those boards do not fit the target demographic of the show, so don't expect the show to be 'everything you hoped for'. I'm referring to the people here who expect Super to be rich with dark moments, serious storytelling, meaningful characters etc etc. It won't. It's a show for kids. A show for kids being kids. Everyone in those boards has a manchild in him/her, clamoring to get out, and that's fine. But having unrealistic expectations (such as believing the show grew up alongside you) is naïve at best. Honestly, do you take seriously a story where the supposed God of Destruction halts his urges to blow up stuff in order to eat ice cream sundae? That's the show's silliness at full force, take it for what it is. The show hasn't matured one bit, so don't expect it too. Again, I'm not saying that's a bad thing. I'm saying *that* is DB and always will be.
I wonder if he's a gag that won't do anything or he actually will.
It's a bit random if he happened to be born now, so I wonder if he's actually been absorbing energy or some plot related thing.
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.
I'm almost sure this is another DBS influence on Salagir, this smells like Super Hero to me. Also 'protector' probably means this little fella is another warrior of justice, which could be nice if done right.

It should not take 15 years to finally see this thing.
If the specials never existed the story would've been finished years ago probably lol
The specials are time fillers in between the Gogeta Jr/Asura taking breaks. If he didn't do the specials we'd have nothing for months
Yamcha: Do you remember the spell to release him - do you know all the words? Bulma: Of course! I'm not gonna pull a Frieza and screw it up!
