It's not a contradiction it's a plot twist/ surprise.

Wiss>Bills>all of Z

Yeah. If they they say that Beerus is the strongest guy in the history of Z while it's obvious that Whis is stronger, I don't see why can't that apply to Vegetto as well. Perhaps they meant strongest foe, as Whis isn't technically a foe (and neither is Vegetto).
Super Saiyan God Goku is implied to be stronger than Super Saiyan 3 Vegetto, so Beers is stronger than Vegetto. Why is it so difficult to accept this?

Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

I Judging from Herms' posts, Whis being stronger than Beers isn't total fact anyway. Beers never makes such a claim, just says he's stronger than Goku. Goku does say "the strongest in the universe must be..." [Whis] which is where I guess everyone is getting Whis > Beers from, but I wouldn't be so quick to take that as trufax.

From an out-of-universe point, I doubt the writers would have Goku say that if it wasn't true.

The statement that Beerus is the strongest in Z is contradictory, so I don't trust it. Just the same way I don't trust parts of Toei movies that don't contradict the original series.

And I don't see any reason why they wouldn't. They had Goku saying that the real strongest in the universe is... (Whis), so they wanted to pass the message that Whis is the real strongest in the universe, not Beers.

Because it seems that not a lot of thought went into anything else. And this is in-universe discussion, anyway... my point was that Whis > Beers isn't incontestable fact.

I don't think that's implied anywhere. Yeah Goku said he didn't think such power could exist with SSJ God but then Vegetto isn't a natural power. I have Beers, Whis, and SSJ God Goku above SSJ3 Vegetto, sure, but there is nothing that states it has to be that way.

Goku couldn't believe that such a realm of power existed, he doesn't say that he never imagined he could become so strong. He should be able to have an estimate for Super Saiyan 3 Vegetto.

Goku can't do math :lol: . What is his exact line though. That could shed some light on things.

If Goku can estimate Super Saiyan Gotenks' power, then he can estimate Super Saiyan 3 Vegetto's power as well.

Well A I think the last of the Potara earrings were crushed by Vegeta and Goku. B Vegeta would never ever agree to using the Potara again so there is no point in suggesting it. Also seeing as how there would be very few times where it could be suggest in the movie, since the main focus was on SSJ God, I can see why it's not even brought up.
