Seeing that as a kid pre Internet was something. Because you had no idea it restarted until the end of the Raditz arc, at least if you missed the first part. Which I did and boy was I confused.

My personal recommendation is to only skip the BoG arc. The slice of life episodes are great and the Resurrection "F" arc was an improvement over the movie. That said, you can skip it too, the events that happen are roughly the same so you won't get confused. The main difference is that Gohan realizes that he can't keep being terrible and is now training with Piccolo again.

it is nice that gohan has finally realized, for the first time in his life, that maybe keeping in shape in the off season between doomsday scenarios is a good idea

plus gohan and piccolo are cool and them training together might make piccolo useful too

Really? I feel like the BoG arc was pretty good, especially when they actually start fighting in space. And apart from the last episode the freeza arc was kinda lovely. We go from Goku and Beerus destroying the universe and having dragon auras and crazy poo poo like that to one of the most mundane and boring fights ever in Goku vs freeza.

They even cut down on one of the only good parts of the movie (B team getting a chance to shine)

all vegeta did to frieza in the movie was hit him like once, walk towards him, then die when frieza ragequit the world

having an actual fight is definitively better than the movie in the case of vegeta vs frieza

Well, I don't know if I'd call that a fight. It more of one sided beat down. Frieza didn't get a single hit or dodge in on Vegeta, and just got destroyed.

The way that played out in the movie was odd. It seemed like they made a big narrative deal of there being one senzu left, and that made it seem like Frieza would somehow get it. He would get recharged for the Vegeta fight, and Vegeta would get more to do than a beat down. Instead, nope, it's just an excuse to get Goku back to health, and for him to have the power to killsteal at the end. Kinda sad.

Pretty much. I actually liked that beat down in Super. Just a one sided rear end beatdown. I will say even though it was extended, showing everyone get blown was like... drat. Least this gives Gohan an excuse to get off his rear end and be relevant.

Maybe.

It honestly looks like Piccolo gets banged up a little bit and then prepares to go all out only for Gohan to just oneshot the guy out of nowhere.

the only person zarbull should be presenting any kind of challenge to by the time rof takes place is master roshi

tho speaking of that, it's still pretty funny that they say yamcha isn't up to the challenge but bring roshi along to fight. it was nice seeing him be useful again

I think I timed Vegeta vs Frieza in ROF at around 40 seconds as a whole?
I'd have to check again but even if the animation is worse, Vegeta getting a decent chunk of time for his beat down is waaaay better

DEPRESSION
gently caress, that comment about the movies being a chronological nightmare has always been something that part of me has tried to piece together, but it hurts my brain since only like 5 tops could take place in the canon timeline at all, since aside from training arcs everything happens in DB in fairly rapid succession. Then again, sometimes it is pretty funny to think about.

I think my favorite example has to be 'Oh, the Androids are running rampant on earth? TIME TO GO TO NAMEK!'
e: that or 'Oh, the Androids are running rampant on earth? TIME TO GO SHOPPING!'

I wish Yamcha or Roshi or somebody had actually suggested that in the show. When Trunks gives his warning, just have the Z-Fighters and all their loved ones just evac to Namek or Yardrat or King Kai's planet. Just give up completely.
