While what you described would in some ways be better than what we had in Episode of Bardock, at least that did give us some new elements (another race, Chilled, another possible origin for how and why Freeza knew about and was afraid of Super Saiyans, etc.). At this point, it just kind of is what it is I guess.
I'm partially conflicted though, because the stuff you mentioned about Bardock seeing what his son did throughout the series, and training in the afterlife? That's more or less exactly the kind of thing an old, old, super-old-and-unfinished-and-finally-purged-from-the-internet-thank-god fanfic of mine was doing at one point in time. It picked up with his being judged by Enma, having to spend a number of years in Hell due to his actions prior to his "heel faced turn to being good" as I took it at the time, meeting and having to beat some sense into Raditz after his death, meeting Goku when he fell off of Snake Way and fell into Hell, and eventually meeting and fighting King Cold and Freeza after their deaths, and through the fight, becoming a Super Saiyan and beating Freeza down much like his son before him. I'm fairly sure I got through all of that in the story at the time, which albeit fanficcy, wasn't TOO awful (outside of the writing being crap I'm sure)...but where I was planning to take it after that from what I recall...sheesh.
So...yeah. The less I have to recall this fic, the better, so I'll more or less take EoB as it is.
Haha no no its fine man, I'm throwing around ideas at 1am so of course its going to sound like that
To be honest, the watching Goku thing would be something at the end perhaps for heartwarming purposes or as a reward for doing something or saving someone towards the end of the movie.
Honestly, I'd want just want
-Something like the Otherworld Tournament from DBZ to be honest with new characters, or maybe even some alien races he killed, like a Kanassan Warrior,who he could eventually befriend friends
-A smaller conflict/rival character for the movie
-Treat it like a flashback movie, getting an idea of who Bardock really is, him reflecting on his life (eg. childhood as a canon fodder soldier, becoming friends with his squad, meeting Gine, remembering the one time he saw Raditz etc. right up to his death)
-Perhaps an allusion to Bardock having the potential to unlock SSJ, rather than transformation
-Remixed Solid State Scouter
due to the existence of Dragonball Minus ( 
) why not instead let the movie chronicle his adventures in the Afterlife, (considering that as part of anime canon evil individuals get to keep their bodies in hell)
