Agreed. In fact, everything after Vegetto is formed. He acts completely idiotic and out of character to let Vegetto look cool. For example: he has to be coaxed into using his absorption, even though that was his first move when outmatched before.

He's probably referring to the Bardock special. Zarbon was the one who first recommended destroying Planet Vegeta because the saiyans were rapidly growing in strength.
It was actually Beerus disguised as Zarbon #StayWoke

Like with Freeza, where he starts off over 10 times stronger than all his henchmen except Ginyu (because...well, just because), then we find out he can transform and get even more powerful, and then he reveals he can transform two more times, before finally coming out with the fact that he hasn't even been using anywhere near 50% of his power. Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.

Well, to be fair he was against the strongest being ever. I would be panicking and not be able to think clearly.

Really makes Goku unlikeable there.. I really hope they remove that in the future Kai.
What the...?! How did they even think of that as a good idea?!
If I was Gohan and knew about this, it wouldn't sit well with me. "Your (girl)friend has been tortured like hell and is now in pain, but don't worry, I'll go look for a senzu to end her suffering and save her... after I enjoy a good lunch, it's soooo good to eat!"

I disliked how Goku played non-active role mid-Buu Arc.

Goku taught Fusion & was resposible for Gohan's ultimate power-up (deal with Old Kai), but ultimately nothing much when compared to Saiyan or Cell Saga.

I think he left to Otherworld around episode 249. His ressurection was episode 266.

The 15+ episodes felt like Filler. Goku turned Super Saiyan upon Krillin's death in Frieza Saga. But he just saw his entire family killed by Super Buu at LookOut (via Old Kai's crytal ball) & did nothing. Putting off actually

He had been up against people stronger than him before though

Not against anyone who treated him like a joke, like Vegetto did.
