Why does Beerus always underestimate and ignore Vegeta ?

I think you're all missing the point, Beerus isn't ignoring Vegeta in favor of Goku, he's helping them both!

Goku is motivated by a stronger fighter to pit himself up against, [spoiler]hence the Monaka deception[/spoiler], but Vegeta is less motivated by that and MORE motivated by being underestimated, by being told he can't do something, and by being disrespected.

Two different students, two different approaches.

Although that seems like great head Canon, it's still head Canon. Nothing confirms this to be the actual truth. I'm still pretending it is from now on though

Well sure, but given that we have no in canon explanation it's all head canon theory, and I'm totally open to being wrong - it just makes sense to me.

Because Vegeta is absolutely useless in ANY situation that seems bigger than he is?
