It's only Goku and later Gohan, who don't want to kill evil people.
Strangely enough, they didn't seem to think twice about killing the fodders on Babidi's ship.
That seems to always be interpreted by fans as lining up with the character Development Goku got after he tried sparing Freeza twice and still got attacked from behind.
Gohan also found out in the Cell Arc, that it's okay to kill evil people.
That's probably the most logical explanation other than the fact that they had to kill Dabura for the sake of Krillin and Piccolo. Prior to that, they were probably willing to do whatever it took to reach the demon king.

They, at the very least, knocked them unconscious, saw them fall in a lake, and didn't care about their fate (if they would drown or not). From their character's point of view, what matters is that didn't care if they died or not, not if they actually died or not, because, if it depended on Krillin and Gohan, they would die.

Are we too old to enjoy new Dragon Ball movies/series?

Guys, I'm going to be straight with you. If you feel the show has gotten 'silly' ... it hasn't. You're just 'too old for this shit'. Seriously, 95% of the people in those boards do not fit the target demographic of the show, so don't expect the show to be 'everything you hoped for'. I'm referring to the people here who expect Super to be rich with dark moments, serious storytelling, meaningful characters etc etc. It won't. It's a show for kids. A show for kids being kids. Everyone in those boards has a manchild in him/her, clamoring to get out, and that's fine. But having unrealistic expectations (such as believing the show grew up alongside you) is naïve at best. Honestly, do you take seriously a story where the supposed God of Destruction halts his urges to blow up stuff in order to eat ice cream sundae? That's the show's silliness at full force, take it for what it is. The show hasn't matured one bit, so don't expect it too. Again, I'm not saying that's a bad thing. I'm saying *that* is DB and always will be.
What the hell is that thing behind Goku? It looks like something straight out of Asura's Wrath.

Not to throw shots..by did is Dr.Machismo albertocubatas?
He also reactivates Android 16, marries Videl and has a son named Puck (as opposed to a daughter named Pan), grows out his hair and beard and ends up looking like how he did in the Cell Games ... but with a beard!
Lots of men with long hair get beards, and we've Trunks with long hair, so I think this works well.
imagine the crossover multiversal god tournament as goku being the main character! Would be so freaking amazing.
NOW THATS WHAT I CALL BATTLE OF GODS!!!

So are the Yardratians here based on a design by Toriyama?
Because that is not what they looked like in the anime.
These are the designs used for Dragonball Online. The design in the anime was a filler scene so technically there wasn't any official design until Dragonball Online came out.

Thank you. The anime is an official source though.
