17 seriously needs to go as he is just an intruder stealing screen time from others when he doesn't deserve it.
He is a complete nobody who just lived in a forest and Toriyama didnt even care to make him apart of the recurring cast like 18 in the Buu arc and then 17 somehow gets the treatment he gets now and it is just ridiculous.
You Know I should say I am just WOWed by that statement too Lapislettuce by that anonymous fan alone, but that seems to be the major excuse and complaint going about by this class of the fandom.
17 is not alone in getting that, many any new characters in the ToP have gotten it to at Ridiculous levels the same complaint, so 17 is in a similar group of getting this so called stealing screen time from others complaint and I have seen this talked around here as well.
But what does not even = too, who is 17 stealing from or any other character stealing screen-time from?! Characters in this need time to flesh themselves out otherwise they are forgotten. I get wanting to see your favorites have more screen-time but going as far is provoking to get this is to belittle and undercut other characters both New and Returning characters to get your character more time is a form of Foiling that is just selfish and wrong.
Characters get the time the writer gives them to flesh them out, if you want more of your character to shine in this, then maybe spend MORE TIME talking about the times they have had already on the screen and why those are important and good moments for them. It is not about how much time one has but the substance they have when they are on.
To the fan complaining, 17 is on the screen is evenly = IMO to how his character arc has been well fleshed out. To take away from him to promote your own is in reality taking more away from your favorite cause you ignore what moments they have by just asking for more for them, but if you are not willing to even highlight the moments they have already, what makes having more time any better if you are not willing to promote the time your favorite already has had.
One of the responsibilities a fan has most is to take whatever time their favorite has had and give reasons why those moments where good for their character and PR it to the Hill-Top the best they can. Even a min of screen-time can be more golden then many think, substances is the most important aspect of a character to remember.
