1- kid Gohan, whiny, god so whiny..
To think he would become my favorite character later on :D
Do you mean Saiyan and Freeza saga Gohan or Cell games Gohan ? Because besides his introduction, Kid Gohan isn't all the whiny. Now Cell games Gohan is whiny as fuck.

Goku Super from the anime. I like how he's portrayed in the manga.
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Explain. :o

I don't find his antics funny at all, he was especially irritating in the beginning of the manga. I prefer him when he is a considerate martial arts teacher. I suppose I could add Oolong and Old Kai to the list for the same reasons but their appearances are usually rare to bother me.

Honestly, I'd have to agree with this. Dragon Ball's humor rarely entertains me and never makes me laugh. The dirty humor that's included is no exception. Kamesennin's stuff moreso bores me rather than come off as humorous.

I don't know, maybe I'm not getting it? I've always felt this way since I discovered the franchise when I was younger, so it can't be anything I've grown or outgrown. Especially since it's only been about five years since that point.

I definitely agree. It's so rare for me to laugh at anything dragonBall related. I don't remember laughing at anything as a child in fact.

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.

Yeah it always surprises me when people call Gohan whiny or cowardly. Besides for his introduction (lol a 4 yea r old kid facing danger for the first time) he only was cowardly once in the saiyan saga fight. Even then, he was the reason why krillin and him came back to help Goku. He also isn't whiny outside of his introduction and cell saga like you said . I really don't agree with his cell saga character because it's so inconsistent with him as a person but that's another discussion.

This might sound extreme, but here goes:

Nearly every character (villain, hero, "civilian") that has ever come out from the video games, OVA's, comics(?), and movies since the Original Manga's run between 1984-1995 and the Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z anime starting from 1986-1996. I would also include Jaco the Galactic Patrolman in this list.

That's a lot, isn't it?
DRAGON BALL IS THE KING OF (Fighting) ANIME!!!!!!! In my opinion, at least... :think:

My reaction to anything about Dragon Ball post-2013 that I don't like and/or is stupid. :P

Same. This exactly how it is for me. It just doesn't do anything for me.

I never really got the whiny complaint either. Considering all the horrific circumstances, and he's freaking 4, he did amazingly. Not to mention, again, he's 4. 3, if you wanna go with the original week print from the chapter that he was introduced.

Yeah, if you want whiny see East Kaioshin, Bulma on Namek, or GT Pan.

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

5. Goku (Buu & Super)

4. Future Trunks (Super and a bit in Xenoverse)

3. Bio-Broly

2. Gohan (early Buu & Super)

1. Pilaf

For Future Trunks in Super though, as much as I was amazed at his abilities, I honestly didn't like his character much. If Super is a 'minor' timeskip and Trunks is much older than he was in the Cell saga, then shouldn't he be able to control his emotions a bit? Like, come on, aren't you in your late 20s or early 30s? All of that screamin' and cryin', it may have worked in the Cell saga, but I think he should've left most of that behind. And that HAIR! I still can't get over that HAIR COLOR!

I'm sorry but I can't agree with this at all! Who cares how old he is? He's had basically everyone around him die. Grown men are allowed to cry and scream even in real life where they haven't lived as traumatic experience as Future Trunks.

Sure, it was okay for him to cry when his mom and Mai(at first) got killed, but after that, he should've controlled his emotions. Especially during his fights. After all these years, he still acted the same.

I wouldn't really describe Kaioshin as whiny. Overly anxious and grossly incompetent yes, but not whiny.

I never found Roshi to be funny, but I can think of a few moments in the early DB episodes that make me laugh. I have a tendency to laugh at stupid shit though, like stuff that wasn't even intended to be a joke.

Goku is the only character I really dispise. I dislike him more than naruto. Kinda wish this idiot died in the otherworld after the Cell saga. But merch needs selling and cows need milking :problem:
