Didn't ssj4 goku do the same to Baby?
He didn't blow a hole in the sun, just propelled Baby into it.

The Kamehameha punched through as there's a small blast that erupts from the other end. Broly died somewhere in the sun but the beam kept going.

Satan's ability to survive a blow from Cell and hitting a rock. I understand it was played for laughs, but the absurdity was way too high for me as a kid.

A real issue is underpowering. Goku and Vegeta make the Earth rumble in their first fight. Considering how powerfully everyone is by the Cell Arc, the fights should literally destroy the Earth.

The general assumption is that the Z-Fighters had mastered their ki control to point where they could prevent any wide scale damage from happening if they are in intense combat.

Not really as the Dende and Vegetto explained in the anime. its not Buu himself that's doing the destruction, its other dimensions rushing through and crushing their universe is what is causing the universal calamity. All Buu is doing is literally a chain reaction (Weakened the dimensional between universes/dimensions which act like support pillars to a building until it collapses).

That's like saying that Freeza didn't really destroy Namek, it was the core of the planet collapsing... No, Freeza destroyed Namek and its still a planet busting feat even though it would have been more impressive if Namek had exploded instantly. Same thing applies to Buu.

This is completely different and not even remotely comparable. The anime flat out said that Buu is causing a change reaction. Buu is causing the walls that hold the dimensions apart from each to weaken by forming holes in them, if he kept it up the walls would eventually collapsed causing other universes to rush through crushing their universe into oblivion thus hence the support pillar building analogy I mentioned. Its other dimensions destroying their universe, not some raw power feat from Buu himself.

And Freeza caused a chain reaction by destroying the core of the planet that eventually results in the explosion of the planet.

Buu destroying the multidimensional universe that way is not as impressive as it would be if he destroyed it without a chain reaction, just like Freeza destroying a planet without a chain reaction would be more impressive than with a chain reaction.

However, that doesn't mean the feat is dismissable and that its not the most impressive feat in filler.

Buu was so powerful that his power ruptured space-time and ripped through several dimensions, causing a rupture that was big enough for the entire multidimensional universe to eventually collapse and be destroyed if it had continue. There's no feat of power more impressive than that in the franchise. Not being as impressive as destroying the universe without a chain reaction is irrelevant because there's no character in DB that was almost destroyed the universe in a more impressive way.

Again, not remotely comparable.

Sure, if you ignore the fact other dimensions are the ones destroying the universe, not Buu himself.

I didn't say it was not impressive, just not something Buu himself was directly doing.
Buu was so powerful that his power ruptured space-time and ripped through several dimensions, causing a rupture that was big enough for the entire multidimensional universe to eventually collapse and be destroyed if it had continue. There's no feat of power more impressive than that in the franchise. Not being as impressive as destroying the universe without a chain reaction is irrelevant because there's no character in DB that was almost destroyed the universe in a more impressive way.
That's no more impressive than Super Buu and Gotenks doing the same thing earlier when they tore a hole between dimensions to escape the Room of Spirit and Time. The filler scenes logic was that by doing it long enough the hole in the dimensional walls would weaken enough to the point it would collapse. In turn, this allows other universes to come rushing through crushing their universe into oblivion. That is what Dende and Vegetto are worry about, not Buu. If it was Buu they would have mentioned he was the one destroying the universe, not alternate dimensions be the direct cause of it. Imagine ten stack of thick hard back books (universes) being supported by two pillars (Dimensional barriers), and there is an egg (The universe) in the middle. You knock the support pillars out what happens to the egg? It gets smashed to pieces.

That's what that scene literally was in a nutshell. People always blow that filler feat out of portion every single time.

Why is that? I've already demonstrate how the way it works ends up being the same. Care to demonstrate how is not comparable?

Again, that logic is applied unchanged to Freeza. "It was not Freeza that destroyed Namek, it was the collapsing core".

I didn't say it was not impressive, just not something Buu himself was directly doing.
Yes, you are, because you aren't saying "well, it would be more impressive if he had done it directly", you are just mentioning that he's doing it indirectly and you leave it at that, like that fact makes the feat not important.

That's no more impressive than Super Buu and Gotenks doing the same thing earlier when they tore a hole between dimensions to escape the Room of Spirit and Time.
Its automatically more impressive simply by the fact that the rupture created by Gohan-Buu was way bigger. Even if that posed no danger to the universe, it would be far more impressive that what Gotenks did, so no.
The filler scenes logic was that by doing it long enough the hole in the dimensional walls would weaken enough to the point it would collapse.

And you blow it out of proportion in the opposite direction and ignore that there is no more impressive feat in the franchise.

What is more impressive than that in your opinion by the way? Destroying the solar system? Cell is stated to be capable of that and its demonstrated that the power level of Cell would be insufficient to forcibly break through the fabric of time and space into other dimensions.
