To comeback to 17,what's wrong with realising the potencial of character bringing him back since a lot of people will be interested in it and promoting him,Toei got Toriyama's blessing he agreed by saying that he believes in 17's potencial,most of you are just mad because he's getting more promotion than your favorites which is pretty sad,because me and other 17 fans have suffered hell and been waiting for him to comeback for a long time and to see the way you're all downplaying him makes me sick,and that "17 fanboy in toei" argument is STUPID,if people in Toei could do whatever they liked and bring characters here and there then we would see Cell being revived and Broly becoming canon (aren't these the popular characters according to y'all ?).
But we are getting a Broly, a female version at least. Also who are we to discuss the character popularity? oh, you know, fans. Calling Gohan a forgotten character would make 17 a relic that shouldnt have happened.
Its not that we're mad that our favorite characters arent the ones getting promoted (tho I'd take Gohan's presence in the OP and ED and his current standing in the arc better than a promo vid that contains old clips from DBZ), but rather 17 came out of nowhere and is being pushed too much *17 is like the version of WWE's Roman Reigns* unlike you we arent a big fan of 17 so this comes as quite a surprise.
Forums exist for people to discuss about opinions and sometimes facts, we were not talking about facts but rather opinions which is normal, you shouldnt get triggered because we have opinions in the matter. Ignore stuffs you dont agree with instead of calling people out for having opinions about your favorite character.
