Time to find out how the build up to XXI pays off. Will he be strong, will he be some guy who warns Vegetto about something. Find out in a long while because I hate the update schedule. Though avoiding negativity I look forward to finding out.
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!
Spoiler:
Doctor. wrote:I've explained before, I'll just paraphrase myself.
Power levels establish tension and drama. People who care about them (well, people who care about them in a narrative) don't care about the big numbers or the fancy explosions. If you have character A who's so much above character B, who's the main character, you're gonna be left wondering how in the hell character B, the character we're supposed to care and root for, is going to escape the situation or overcome the odds. It makes us emotionally invested.
If character B doesn't escape the situation in a believable way that's consistent with previous events, then that emotional investment is gone. It was pointless tension, pointless drama made just to suck in the viewer. It has no critical value whatsoever. The audience is left believing that the author can just create whatever scenarios he wants and what happens to the characters is decided by whatever the author wants to happen, regardless of the events that happened in the story. Which, in fairness, is what happens, but the audience wants to be fooled. The audience wants to know that the world they're following has rules. That the world they're invested in isn't going to bend to external factors that are irrelevant to them.
An author can do whatever he wants with the characters, that's not false. But the author should also have the responsibility to make sure it fits in cohesively with the other events in the narrative he has created.
They would probably kill each therapist they meet within 5 minutes out of boredom. Providing that therapist isn't Vegito or just someone stronger than them.

Oh... Oh my... Something tells me I don't want to know what they do.
, that makes too much sense....

Cell should've easily absorbed the androids, actually.
(waits for a special where Cell is about to massacre the androids and then immediately reverts to his larval state for no reason, allowing them to win)

Please elaborate as I do not know what you mean by "pushing Vegeta's destruction"
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
Herms wrote:The fact that the ridiculous power inflation is presented so earnestly makes me just roll my eyes and snicker. 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.

If they found Cell when he was weak enough they could have beat him.

Honestly if the Cyborgs came across Cell before he absorbed too many humans, the Cyborgs could easily kill Cell. Remember how well Piccolo fared against Cell yet had trouble with #17?

I'd call that plausible enough for me, the idea that the Androids killed all the humans in their universe and thus left Cell unable to absorb anything and get strong enough to absorb them.
Here's hoping this chapter is a return to form.

I would just make it so that the androids destroyed Gero and his lab more effectively in their universe than in the main universe. So, Gero's computer would have also been destroyed at that time, and Cell as well.
The Vargas could have come across universes in which the androids killed everyone and then were absorbed by Cell, but I would make it so that they had already found Cell from universe #17 before, so they would think that other Perfect Cells would be redundant.
I feel like having #17 and #18 fighting seems like a waste since #17 lost in one punch and #18 never show off anything special. We could got someone else like Garlic Jr instead in my opinion.

You think Garlic Jr is more interesting then 17 and 18?
Garlic Jr always seemed like a stupid character to me, Gohan and Piccolo could beat him and then Kuririn was able to fight near on par with him, if he didn't have immortality he would be the Hercule of Villains.
Really, 17 and 18 shouldn't have a spot in the tournament, or at least be the only ones from their universe-Mirai Broly is still out there. Though really, we don't need 2 Broly battles.
I liked Garlic Jr. I just wished he didn't have immortality, or a fascination with opening Dead Zones.
With Garlic Jr, it would be cool to see his reactions with Piccolo and Kami being one and Gohan as a adult. They could use another movie villain like Janemba or maybe Super #13 instead.
Funny, that guy, whose aura was so bright, it made viewers hurt, talks about weird stuffs.
