Just because you and/or others view some of those aspects as flaws that render them invalid as continuation candidates, doesn't mean they actually are. The manga itself has flaws. It had plot holes, it has unanswered questions, it has segments of bad storytelling. You can't condemn them for doing exactly what Toriyama's original material did before them. That's not how things work.
As for the films having a continuation? That could be what the announcement two weeks from now will be about, or maybe both will just be expected to feed into Super's Universe 6 material. Who knows; I don't even see the point in worry about this now. Super as a whole doesn't feel more like Toriyama though. There are more elements of his writing being worked in, but it still feels a lot like a Toei product in terms of a lot of the humor and stuff. That doesn't inherently make it bad though.
No. You can't. They literally made the films to be just that: Films. They have things in them purely to get people in the seats. I don't know how you can say the movies are canon when we have an Official Press Release by Toei stating Super is the Complete Continuation of the Majin Buu arc. And we have confirmation Toriyama is overseeing the anime. And again, the movies have holes. Holes that aren't present in Super. I'm not saying Dragon Ball is perfect, because it's not, but to go with the films that have more holes than the show just because, "Eh, the original manga had holes too, so..." isn't a very fair assessment, if I were to say so politely.
And no, this is totally more Toriyama. Everyone is so much more in character. I'm sorry, Resurrection F Freeza effing sucked. He was my biggest complaint about the whole film. I rewatched the entire Freeza saga via Kai before going to go see the film, and Freeza majorly disappointed me. He was spewing one-liners, crying like a baby that Beerus was interrupting his fight, and other non-Freeza stuff. But do you know why? Because it's a movie. It's supposed to do that. This is a series. It's different. I literally am so happy that Freeza is...actually acting like FREEZA again. And I can guarantee you, this wasn't Toei.
Lemme tell you something about Toei. They hate Krillin. Any effing chance they get to make him look like an idiot to get a cheap laugh out of the audience, I guarantee you, they'll do it. And it happens in RF! Krillin runs into a damn tree like an idiot and has to be saved. In Super? He overcomes his PTSD and has a genuinely badass moment. I promise you, that was NOT Toei. I'm telling you. Super BLEEDS Toriyama, it's crazy.
And no, I highly doubt that announcement in 2 weeks will be a movie about the Champa arc. Who would pay to go see that? By the time it finally hits theaters, we'll already be well into the Champa arc of Super.
