How do you get them up to Goku&Vegeta's level ?

Marron is a human so she's in the same boat as the rest of them.
Pan&Bra are 4-5 years old.
Goten&Trunks don't train.
Piccolo doesn't train or can't get any stronger.
Gohan is...

There's potential with Uub and I guess Piccolo could get stronger by fusing with other Namakians or having a similar ritual to the Ssjg.
When was this stated?

I like Whis' personality and design, but his insane power is absolutely retarded, and I'm starting to think this character needs to be eliminated.

I'd like to see him become the main villain in a major twist, a villain related to and stronger than him, or for him to be imprisoned. Otherwise, what's the point?

He couldn't fight Buu.
He couldn't fight Beerus.
He had trouble with 1 of Freeza's henchmen.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

The same Buu that killed Dabura, made Vegeta kill himself and Goku needed SSJ3 to beat?
The same Beerus that Goku needed to become a freaking god to fight somewhat evenly for a short time?
The same Shisami that Gohan needed SSJ to beat?

How is any of these indicative of Piccolo getting weaker or not training? Especially when AT said he always trains.

Piccolo is still doing training, but he can't get massively stronger anymore. Unless he finds a new way to get stronger in Super.
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

Piccolo has, like many other characters in the series, reached his limit. Only way he can get stronger now is by breaking his limit by achieving some kind of transformation or power-up, like Goku has done multiple times before.

Yeah, ROF has pretty much confirmed that Piccolo has hit a glass ceiling and that he needs a new transformation that break through that.

I hope Sumitomo didn't show his full potential and kept the best for Super, and I hope Sumitomo reuses and remixes some of Kikuchi tracks like he did with one track in BOG. I hope we get many specials and movies along the ride, and new cameos would be nice too.
What I like to see too is a whole different world with mind-blowing backgrounds and spectacular fights. Maybe will see that in one of the 12 Universes.

Exactly. And kills Beerus while he's at it. Just make fans' jaws drop.

I won't mind if Goku meets Pilaf again. I can already imagine Goku will be like "Hey I remember you when I was a kid. You always try to take over the world and failed. Weren't you much older?".

I know this might be like GT a bit by saying this, but how about we start off just like GT kiiiiiiiiiiiiinda and have Goku and Uub fighting it out? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaIzSyX3oyQ

It occurred to me that my only wish is seeing Bulla embracing her heritage without turning into tomboy. I would gladly see her casually flying, using super strength or eating extravagant amounts of food without worrying about getting fat, yet liking shopping, cosmetics, spas and hairdresser. It would send a positive message for girls and could be a base for many gags. I image her making her male admirer carrying her bags, stopping to help get someone from crashed car by ripping it by her bare hands then complain that she scathed her manicure again. Or having a princess phase and making Vegeta reveal some facts about his mother.

I had not even considered what you could do with Bra. That would be quite a bait-and-switch!

Evil Goku from another dimension/universe. Maybe there, Vegita was the good guy and got all the honors. Tough call on this series though as they have tried just about everything to keep it going.

my list
-I want lots and lots of Jaco the super elite.
-I'd like to see Gohan at work and what he does there
-have Piccolo get an upgrade in power
-Yamcha do a Kaio-ken x10 Wolf Fang Fist
-I'd like to see some good attention given to Goten/Trunks
-less Dragonball wish spamming
-Power pole gets a reappearance
-Goku wears his GT/Path to power gi some time in the story (personally my favorite outfit Goku ever wore)
-Android 18 does something other than be sidelined
-Android 18 gets a real name. (kind of silly they still call her a number)
-Android 17 actually has appears and does something with the Z warriors.
-Krillin stays bald
-Pan loves super heroes so Gohan puts on a great saiyaman play for her.
-Trunks gets a sword
-If Gohan fights again he better wear Piccolo's gi instead of Goku's.
-Gohan can use his mystic form and he has to train to get it back (never liked how he got mystic form, in all honesty he can lose it forever)
---
side thing:
-If there's a flash back of kid goku (assuming this scene is more than a couple seconds/minutes long) I hope they get Nadolny back to voice him.
-no faulconer music.

But I'd also like to see Trunks get his sword.
