Again? He was relevant before? He always seemed to be just the second half of Gotenks, and nothing else. Even Trunks struggles and he has screen time. They're essentially poorly utilized child surrogate characters.
Well, there were the Broly movies. : )
Which you can sum up as the usual childish antics, and nothing more. Broly 3: I can't believe it's not Broly, is probably the closest to Goten having something.

I don't hate Goten at all. I feel bad for him and Trunks being such wastes. They have gotten so much time, and yet they aren't given fucking shit. Besides present Trunks hardly doing shit now (which could change), the biggest insult for me as of late was the Googeta arc. You have Gotenks job so hard it's ridiculous, making him useless without anything redeemable. Then you have the opportunity to have Trunks help save his father by destroying that crystal, but fuck that let's give that shit to Monaka.

Only as Gotenks do they ever get something to be relevant for a while in the series proper. Outside that, nothing. It's unbelievable to me how much time they've had, and how little they've been built up. Not even simply for fighting, but for anything. Trunks at least has a goal, so that's one good step for him. Even if it's an unknowingly creepy goal. Goten like with most of the other irrelevant characters, doesn't really have anything driving him at all.
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

I think because of kid Gohan people forget that kids are sometimes kids. What I mean is Goten is a tiny kid who has never been thrust into a situation like Gohan was. He also hasn't done the adventuring Goku did because he has a stable family...mom at least :lol:

So what we are left with is a powerful but young character who hasn't had reason to fight yet...the few times he has, he has shown some bravery along with Kid Trunks being willing to fuse and fight Buu.

I was just telling my brother about how Goten and Trunks don't learn anything from the Commeson Arc. Their parents didn't scold them for carelessly playing in a delivery man's truck or anything.

And is it a bad thing if I liked that arc? :P

I thought it was okay until SSJ3 Gotenks got one shotted and then Goten/Trunks did nothing for 3 episodes.

How many episodes do you guys think this FT arc will have in all? I feel like it's really dragging out.

Eh I'm not really thinking about the episode count right now, I would much rather this arc to be long. The last few arcs have been super short.
Dragon Ball /Z/GT/Super is a children's show and there's nothing wrong with that.

From what I have observed, no one really hates Goten. What they don't like about him is that he isn't his own character. He's a mini-clone of kid Goku and having the same VA as him in Japanese doesn't help. He also gets overshadowed by Trunks who, like or hate him, has a more dynamic personality. Even as Gotenks he's more Trunks than Goten outside of his naivety.

Goku barely took a backseat in the Buu saga, at best he took a leisurely stroll round back while everyone else cried for him to come back.

It's not dragging to me, they're just taking their time, which is nice after the last 3 arcs.

I don't feel the drag, but I sorely miss Gokû and Vegeta bantering with each other and hope that'll return in episode 56.

I'm liking that they are taking their time too, It's not a bother to me but I definitely feel like this arc will go on longer. That might be because of the breaks of late I, suppose.

Eh even with kid Gohan people complained about him not being a brave warrior in his first battle at age 5. Even though he redeemed himself by going back for Goku and Namek.

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

Would anyone like Super to take a formula where

First episode: Goku, Vegeta, Beerus and WHis travel to the other universes.

second episode: Gohan, Goten and Trunks defend the earth alongise the other Z warriors against new threats.

The episodes would alternate so one week were with the gods and the next the humans.

Definitely better than what we have now. But if we are truly doing wishes than I'd rather everyone be focused on the same threat like in DBZ. Gohan, Goten, and trunks are all good enough to fight on the same level as Goku and Vegeta.

The pacing would not be very good. So I'd have to say no.

If that is real dayum that is really good :shock: it kinda reminds me of the Minecraft ost :cry:. The comments and description on that video is making it sound like its official but I doubt it doesn't fit the quality of Supers music.

The current arc doesn't feel like it's dragging. It feels like it's still in its opening chapters and could take a number of different directions.

I think these breaks are the main reason why it seems like its dragging. The pacing thus far has actually been pretty ok.
