Somehow this makes me love the transformation more than before
I don't like the trunks rage transformation but I still don't understand the context of that ... trunks was tired, hungry and quite hurt at that time on the other occasion he was quite recovered and more strengthened is not that you can compare both situations
and gohan was transformed when android 16 died, a stranger but not when cell was hurting his friends and father etc

Oh noes, Skynet has become sentient and hellbent on taking over the world, one "GT RULEZ SUPER DRULZ" meme at a time.
Truly a machine mutant. get it, because robots and acting like a Baby- sorry

Trunks didn't go Rage when Black killed Bulma because Bulma literally sacrificed herself so that Trunks could escape. Her last words were basically "Leave this timeline, that's are our only hope!". If you've already decided that there's no point left in trying to fight, you can't unlock a new transformation. And yeah, the fact that he had been fighting Black for over a year and had reduced himself to eating cat food. Also I am not sure why Black and Zamasu are shitting themselves in the last panel, since they were never worried about Rage, but okay.
These memes that criticize Super are pretty garbage to be honest. Like, there are a lot of memes that point out flaws in the writing yet at the same time get their facts straight.
Also, lol at that article that thinks that Rumsshi was evil. He never did or said anything evil in the five seconds he was on screen.
"I will concede that your feelings are worthy of the mightiest of Saiyans. However, there is more to my power than just this. Before you die, I will show it to you. This is the difference in power, between the primitive Saiyans and the evolved Tsufruians." ~Baby Vegeta
That image didn't even attempt any kind of a joke.

Please elaborate as I do not know what you mean by "pushing Vegeta's destruction"
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.

In Z, the characters were so depended on Goku that they couldn't go an episode without mentioning him in some way even by hoping he will arrived, get better, training to get stronger, our last hope, being like him, ect. Goku was wanked to hell in Z, even when he wasn't in the room and everyone else was secondary to him. In fact, this was a major issue Goku had, which is why he didn't want to do anything in the Buu Saga.

Cue Piccolo and Tien laughing and Vegeta crying.
Tien and Piccolo: Thirty years too late Geets.
Vegeta: Screw off, no one watches Dragon Ball.
Tien: I did the Multiform in Z.
Piccolo: So did I and so did Krillin.
Vegeta: Filler, doesn't count!
But Vegeta, can you grow extra arms?

I cannot for the life of me decipher what this image is trying to communicate.
I guess it's just pointing out that in the manga:
Caulifla was a punching bag for Freeza
Kale was a powerhouse (eliminated most of the fodders)
Anilaza got one shotted by Kale
Cabba was a skilled fighter and like in the anime he's part of U6's Galactic Patrol
Oh, I see. If they wanted to better illustrate the differences of character writing between the anime and manga it'd probably have been better to just make every image on the right side a different box of saltines, to be honest.

Caulifla was a punching bag for Freeza and cabba ....and she had no some victory
too Cabba and merus, they seem to me very boring in personality too perfect and occupy much protagonim
