How would you find the idea of DBZ having less Movies and more filler episodes with Cooler, Bojack or Tapion for example? I mean, small DBZ Sagas (fillers) like the Garlic Junior one.

That way DBZ would have way more episodes now (350 and maybe more) and Toriyama would have less time pressure writing the manga.

I wouldn't have wanted filler arcs that are adaptations of the movies, really, for the simple fact that I think filler arcs tend to be better than the movies (the 22nd Budokai filler was incredibly solid despite being short, and I adore both the lengthy training for the 23rd Budokai as well as the training for the Saiyans), but I would have been happy with a couple more lengthy stretches of filler. I actually found it kind of disappointing that after the Garlic Jr. saga there weren't any more lengthy filler mini-arcs.

I liked filler episodes such as the Garlic Jr. arc but Freeza's and Cell's arc went on for too freaking long. I remember falling asleep while watching the Cell arc via my FUNi Dragon Box Z and my thoughts were "This is incredibly boring." so, you know, I'm glad Kai exists so they removed crap filler that was taking too long to get to the point.

I do wish they would have left Garlic Jr.'s arc in Kai as I enjoyed it very much and would have been a way to watch that arc remastered in high definition, on Blu-ray.

Not really. Movies are more consised and better paced.

Depends on the movies. Some of them just felt like 40min episodes.
