I never thought Beerus would enjoy simple lettuce.
Indeed, I for one thought it was setting up a joke for Beerus hating on all vegetables!
But given how much time he's spent with those vegetable men, I guess they have grown on him..
Super's a lot easier to watch if you just think of it like GT. They're not going to bother to explain shit. The only consistent thing is that Goku is the bestest.

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

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.
Mai doesn't look a 50 something year old because of Super wanting everyone to look like they just took a water break at the fountain of youth As the comment above said, you just kinda have to empty any logic you thought about using for the show and just throw it into the fiery pits of hell
Um...I was actually referring to the possibility of F. Mai being dead... To be fair, I personally don't think she's dead. Why promote her so much for the last week and a half and not do anything with her? I sort of hope she won't live on through flashbacks. I'd like to see her take a role in the current situation, to be honest.

The worst part of it is that you're actually right. They can't even make Goten's and Trunks' heights done right...

It's possible someone found and adopted them. I guess we will never get a clear answer until it's explained in the show, which there is a chance it could be explained with interaction between Kid Trunks and the Pilaf Gang.
By the way, in this latest episode, it seemed to me like Trunks and Mai were a couple heehee. They live in an apartment building and they have a pet cat. (Looking at the raw episode, I thought the cat was just a stray, but with the subtitles it appears it was their cat.) I would like to get some more background on this in future episodes.

It definitely felt like there was a romantic connection. Future Trunks tends to default to polite speech with most other characters (except enemies...and Vegeta ), but he spoke with Mai using much more casual patterns. Hopefully he'll elaborate more on it once he regains consciousness. Since there were a couple shots of young Trunks looking at Mai in the preview, I wouldn't be surprised if those scenes were him reacting to the news of his future self being involved with Future Mai (or it's their last-ditch effort to pretend like the plot thread they left out of the Battle of Gods arc was actually happening in the background all along).

Maybe they have the brain of a adult inside the body of a baby. I mean Goku still had his mindset of a 50+ year old inside a body of a 12 year old. So I guess Pilaf, Shu and Mai found ways to survive as babies over the years in both timelines.
Seriously though, that's exactly it. When Pilaf and co wished for youth, their minds didn't regress along with their bodies, so if they were wished back as infants, they still had the intellect of an adult and used that as a way to fend for themselves.
"Dragon Ball once became a thing of the past to me, but after that, I got angry about the live action movie, re-wrote an entire movie script, and now I'm complaining about the quality of the new TV anime. It seems Dragon Ball has grown on me so much that I can't leave it alone." - Akira Toriyama on Dragon Ball Super

Yeah, I noticed it too. Also, we shouldn't forget that F. Trunks is, what, 30? 31? Also, due to the Pilaf Gang's wish for youth, it could be safe to say F. Mai is the same age as him. I'm pretty sure that's an acceptable age to be living together, right? However, there was one thing that I think might REALLY sell the idea (at least to me) that F. Trunks and F. Mai really are more deeply involved than we might think, and this is it: At the beginning of ep. 47, F. Trunks meets up with F. Bulma, and from their conversation, it sounds as if they haven't seen each other for a long time, possibly an entire year. Where else could F. Trunks have been living for all this time? I have an idea...

Not to mention someone could easily have just found them and taken them in/handed them over to the authorities. Hell this very same thing happens to baby Goku when he lands on earth.

I agree. There's a shot in the preview with young Trunks looking at Mai with a weird expression. Could it be Future Trunks reveal they were married?
I dont get it. The pilaf gang wished to be young prior to piccolo dying. The end, what is so hard?
Also why does it freaking matter?
Also, why trunks looks so young, duh he is a saiyan, goku is proly around 55 by now or 50 and he looks like he is in his mid 20s. Plus vegeta said saiyans fully mature at the age of 80 years old. Bulma's mom is around 50-60 and she looks very young.

Not to mention Mai greeting Trunks with "welcome home" when he arrived. The scene very much implies that they were at the very least living together, and could've also been married (but we'll have to wait for Trunks' explanation to know for sure). I never really cared for their relationship as presented in Battle of Gods (like, just a cute little gag romance, nothing that I could actually get into shipping), but just from their scene in episode 47, I feel like they could have a touching, romantic history, and I'd really like to see it portrayed.

Hmm...I don't if they should be married (YET... ), but I can definitely see them simply living together as a couple by now. (As in a boyfriend and girlfriend living together, BTW.) After that scene you mentioned from ep. 47, I also really want to see their relationship grow into something interesting. Hopefully, F. Trunks elaborates on everything about his future next ep.
Mai is pedophile, I can't believe Toriyama is letting it pass such a way. Hopefully he explains Mai's age in next episodes
Toyotarō: … I get the feeling I’ve just heard something amazing (laughs). Lord Beerus and Whis turn up in Dragon Ball Super, and have become an unsurpassable wall for Goku and the gang. What do the two of them mean to you?
Toriyama: Well… First off, right now I don’t have any plans for Goku and Vegeta to surpass Beerus and Whis.

Do you really think this is Toriyama's doing?
If it wasn't, nevertheless, Toriyama is allowing it.
You're right, but I sincerely think he doesn't care about those things (and I get that that's the problem).
If he didn't say anything about what they did to Videl despite him drawing her more active and tomboyish I really doubt he will say something about Mai being young.
I mean if something is in his notes, then it'll definitely will be in both the manga and anime. Manga and Anime have to fill the gaps somehow, so they just do whatever their vision is, while the main story and outcome is the same.
