Not understanding the Toei VA criticism

These are all secondary characters why wouldn't they use in-house people?

Yeah, goku has a record in super of getting caught by dirty tricks, wouldn't be surprised if he ends up being poisoned and gohan has to take out the poison guy and the big brother
Why would Goku fight second?
Why would he not? Regardless if he fights second or third, he might lose. Goku has a pretty poor track record against underhanded tactics in general.

We don't have any information about the eldest brother and it seems they are going by age.. goku is fighting the posion guy in op so he fights the middle brother..

There are two possibilities here, buu loses to first guy and gohan defeats him but loses to the middle guy.. as buu can't be affected by posion he shouldn't lose to the middle guy..
And Goku will end up taking out 2 warriors himself, which is the boring route..

The 2nd way it could happen is the way I predicted before and goku is caught off guard by the second guy and is a much more interesting outcome than seeing him fight 2/3 of fighters by himself..

Maybe Buu wins but switches places with Goku?

Eh, who doesnt though ? Gohan against boo and piccolo against Frost for instance.

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

Why would Beerus make his ace fight second and leave a fighter he hasn't really seen fight last?

Goku barely took a backseat in the Buu saga, at best he took a leisurely stroll round back while everyone else cried for him to come back.

Hero R, Beerus doesnt really care about the order. He let them do rock paper scissors after all.

That was before his universe was on the line. He also saw how his tactic during the Champa Saga nearly bit him in the ass.

Probably an odd thing to pick up, but I did notice the Trio of Danger look more animal like than most of the anthropomorphic characters you find on Earth, mostly due to their legs. Kind of funny though Basil is the only one not wearing any pants. XD

As for Bergamo using poison, I get the feeling that the poison might be something natural rather than a weapon. Maybe he bites or scratches someone. Either way, whoever fights him first is gonna get poisoned, and we saw how that affected Goku and Piccolo earlier.

We don't know if they will know about universe destruction before the match or after it

I guess Gohan needs glasses in order to fight, or he's checking up on Mr. Satan, who probably got hurt somehow.

I really hope they don't have Mister Satan teach Zeno the value of having a sense of right and wrong. That would be the most appalling retread of Z they could possibly do.
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

I'm guessing Satan started mouthing off and one of the gods of destruction really wasn't buying his crap.

Why would Goku chose to go second. He would want to go first if anything. They know the rules because their told the universe will be destroyed in Episode 78.

If he does it by accident, and then plays it off like he was trying to do that the whole time then I'll be okay with it.

The only thing that almost bit him in the ass was Monaka.

Do you guys think Frost will be a good guy now or still a bad guy? I think Frost becoming good would be cool. It's not too late for him to change his ways.

The random choice is also an option
