Has Majin Buu become less special because of the intro of Gods/Kai's?

[precita]

Majin Buu for the longest time was the most powerful being in the universe, even stronger than Kaioshin himself. (And that was only Fat Buu's original form no less, even before Super Buu).

Super Buu especially was incredibly powerful that they needed a fusion of Goku and Vegeta to stand a chance. But now since the introduction of Beerus, Whis, all the other Gods, etc...it seems Majin Buu really wasn't as powerful as we thought.

I mean I know we say this everytime a new villain comes out of nowhere after a previous one, there was a time we all thought Freeza on Namek could never be surpassed...but here we go. But it just seems weird for Buu especially.

You said it yourself: Boo was the prior arc's main villain. At least Super is doing him the favor of having the new villains be like "Oh yeah, Majin Boo... I've heard of him."

I don't think he's less special because of the new material.

Dude this is how db been from the start freeza was the emperor of the universe,next arc became fodder,cell the perfect being, next arc became a nobody hell buu wasn't worth shit when guys like rildo, baby, super 17 and the shadow dragons came along in Gt.

Boo is still worthy of respect. He's an overwhelmingly powerful being, and according to Toriyama, a primordial force of the universe and incarnation of chaos. Even if there's like, 10 beings more powerful than him, or even 20, or even 100... he can still blow away entire galaxies with his power. That's nothing to sneeze at. He's among the top 99% of strongest beings in the multiverse.

Majin Boo might have been unbelievable and overwhelming at one point, but that's what Dragon Ball is all about. Son Goku works hard and succeeds in achieving new heights he had previously thought impossible. Now, the idea of fighting Majin Boo isn't so uncanny anymore, even though it used to be excruciating and desperate, and that's pretty inspiring IMO.

This thread makes no sense. Gods/Kais have appeared long before Boo was a thing, and even if you only count gods, still before the saiyan Raditz (whose appearance marked the split between original DB and DBZ) was a thing. Also that before Beerus was created as a characted, all of the gods were weaker than Boo.

No he's still just as special. It's unfortunate that Super is unsure how to use him effectively: Nigh Invulnerable, almost endless stamina, absorption, magic materialism. At the very least he's perfect for a distraction against even Gods since he's just about impossible to put down. Unlike every other ally in the series not Goku and Vegeta, he can keep punching past his weight class, and that's why he will never be less special no matter what.
