This movie is already doing a better job at incorporating side characters than most of the others with Tenshinhan, Roshi, and even Jaco having roles. I know it's disappointing that Goten, Trunks, and Buu won't be involved, but just look at all the other characters who ARE involved. Personally I'd take Tenshinhan being a badass against fodder over Gotenks jobbing to the main villain any day.
It's not like we want all the other side-characters to have their moment to shine, we just want something logical:
Actually who are the strongests warriors in planet Earth?
- Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Piccolo, Goten, Trunks
Not that I didn't like Krillin and Tien fighting again, I find that amazing... I just don't get why Mutenroshi istead of Yamcha and the Saiyan Kids, for comedy relief or whatever it seems to be something poorly writed by the authors.

No. Roshi has to right to be involved in any battle he damn well pleases. Hell, he's so long overdue when it comes to being a part of a major battle.
His age is over, there's no point in he fighting again... And with 139 PL against average 2,000 PL soldiers? Is that a gag?
Suupaa Gohan 2 wrote:Revival of Freeza being the most baffling of these choices, front and center. An unneeded detour from what should be something new and fresh (given that the last movie alluded to a multiverse, of all things), because OMG some guy heard a song and thought it was kewl. And can we come up with anything more like bad fanfic than using the Dragonballs to resurrect a major enemy who somehow ends up on par with the strongest protagonists?
Freeza somehow closing an impossible gap between himself and overpowered god characters. Granted, we don't know how or why this is possible yet, but it just smacks of foolishness and the desperate lack of a better idea. Even Beerus being overpowered to the extreme managed to be an original concept that made sense on its own terms.
Vegeta needs to be better than Goku because that's his archetype for most of the series and let's ignore the conclusion to the Buu arc.
Freebie god powerups being the new benchmark for series progression among the cast; Gohan's powerup in the Buu arc was "bad" but now that Goku (and possibly Vegeta) are getting freebies, it's awesome and no one else needs to matter anymore.
Standard series characters relevant to the era (Goten, Trunks, Majin Buu) being axed to give screentime to unrelated garbage like Jaco, with bullshit explanations for their absence that amount to not giving a fuck.
This.
