Being an adolescent in the 90s is the reason Broly is so popular. Future (Mirai) Trunks is the realistic ideal of cool, Broly is the ultimate fantasy of cool.

How could Kid Buu be stronger? Goku kicked his rear end, yet Goku got his rear end handed to him by Super Buu.

Dabura has one of the most powerful moves in the series; any non-regenerating enemy will be messed up by his spit! On the other hand, Evil Containment Wave would work on him for sure.

I don't think it's even that. Doesn't BoG just happen six months after the Buu saga? And RoF isn't much longer after that.

While we can argue who the most powerful Z-Fighter is, nobody can deny that Piccolo is the tallest. [Cue 6 pages of exactly this.]

Gohan must have been slacking off triple time, to go from the most powerful fighter in the universe to a guy that can't even be bothered to take off his lovely jogging outfit to fight a space army, in the span of 6 months. Like, even just a normal vacation wouldn't have been enough, he must have actively been living in a room with 0.01x Earth gravity or something.

No, one of the defining traits of God Ki is that non-gods can't sense it at all. Everyone could sense how powerful Gohan was.

(This also means Freeza did not actually ascend to 'god' level because everyone could tell how monstrously powerful he was after his training.)

That's a retcon. Battle of Gods originally happened four years after the battle with Majin Buu, putting it at 778. This is logical, as it allows Yo! Son Goku and His Friends Return to happen, and makes Pan be born when all the side-material said she was (the year after, 779). It also makes Gohan and Videl adults. Resurrection "F" happens a year after (said 779) as Pan has been born but is still a baby.

For some unexplainable reason (likely "forgot lol") Toriyama decided to gently caress logic with Super and said that BoG happens six months after Buu, which means that Videl is now pregnant apparently immediatly after leaving school if that, Gohan becomes a scholar at a ridiculously fast rate, and he loses his powers with nearly no time of disuse. Also, Pan is born much earlier than she should, putting the Epilogue in a really weird situation where the four-year old Pan should be 8 instead. Which, fine, can be explained by Saiyan genes but it's still dumb. It also removes Yo! Son Goku from canon, as it simply has no moment to happen (as well, it is not mentioned at all in the BoG arc, unlike the movie proper).

This makes for one of my favourite subtle moments of Resurrection "F" and its respective arc. Everyone can tell Goku has reached the level of the gods because they can't sense his Ki anymore upon turning Super Saiyan Blue...except Freeza, who thinks he's just the regular Super Saiyan with a new coat of paint because he can't sense power levels to begin with. For him, the only way to actually know if Goku transformed or not is how he looks.

The six month gap is between the end of the Boo fight and when they make the wish to have the memories of Boo erased. After that they make a vague "sometime later" reference to the amount of time from the wish to the beginning of Super.

Majin Buu is based off Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo so honestly there's no reason Boo wouldn't be used except the translation went for Buu instead.
