Frieza getting revived AGAIN would be dumb as gently caress, but I'm willing to cope with it if the payoff is him meeting Frost and going "Pathetic" and slapping him out of the ring

I actually disagree, Freeza getting revived here would retroactively make RoF a lot more important to the story. Beerus only knows he is worth bringing up because of the last slap fight with Goku, and it would allow for some interesting dynamics with Freeza knowing he has been beaten twice by Goku which might bring a tiny seed of cunning rather than humility to Freeza.

Having him fight alongside Goku and backstab the latter at the perfect moment could be awesome. And yeah, watching him bitch slap frost would be divine.

I really would hate it if Frieza had a redemption arc. Like his entire character to date is 'completely unrepentant shitheel who will never, ever, ever admit defeat to Son Goku' and defanging him to babysit Goten in a slice of life episode would just ring false to his character.

However, if he were to join the team as a completely evil bastard, just to get out of the chibi idol level of HFIL, that would be pretty sweet.

Frieza is the only character Toriyama thinks has no good qualities, so I really don't think we're getting any sort of redemption from him.

Eh, Piccolo Jr. always talked big and bad but never like actually went out of his way to kill anyone. Even the OG DB anime had filler where he saves a small child from being crushed under some rubble right before the 23rd Tournament started.

He did blow up the ring though and that was kind of a dingaling dick move.

I do not think Frieza would turn into Piccolo v2.0 right away. If anything a "redeemed Frieza" would be more like early Vegita. Everyone just sort of begrudgingly tolerates him being around, because fighting him might not be the best idea. For Frieza to really become a true good guy he would have to have as much character development as Vegita has, which is a long way off.

I want to see some scenes where Bulma and Frieza talk science.

Gohan is 50/50 on new forms mattering. SSJ2 v Cell obviously did and Mystic v Buu was a huge wet fart.

Which is roughly as good as Goku considering how SSJ3, SSG, and Vegito turned out.

Counterpoint, Frost sees how much of an evil bastard Frieza is, realizes he doesn't want to be anything like him, and beats him up after turning gold.

You know, Frost would likely have a Blue form or something.

The only reason Freeza went Gold was because he specifically wanted to as a mockery of SSJ. Golden Form isn't just something Freezers have, it's something they call out that Freeza in particular decided on.

Deal with it.
It'd actually be kind of funny if they resurrected Frieza and he sees Beerus, Whis, Goku, Vegeta, Buu, Gohan and all these other people who can kick his rear end at this point and he's just like 'I hate all of your guts, but ok, I get it, I have no hope of killing you all, so I'll hold back my murder rage for a while since presumably you resurrected me yet again for a reason'.

From the wikia so take with a grain of salt but "It is implied that the user can choose what color they want their biological armor to take when they use their Golden form, as Frieza mentioned that he "made it gold"."

Oh snaps, you are right. Though has it been like six months/year? I am probably imagining things but I figure the time would be cut short because the dragon didn't fufill all the wishes.

Yeah I'd be totally down for still-unrepentantly-evil-and-still-loving-loathes-Goku Freeza begrudgingly agreeing to participate in the tournament to save the universe on the condition that he doesn't have to go back to hell just because it would be really interesting to see how he'd bounce off the other characters; it would be a hell of a lot more interesting than goddamn Tien, at least.

I don't see it happening because of the overwhelming amount of "hey, these are all the universe 7 fighters" stuff, but it would be neat.

Correct me if I'm misremembering but we're talking about the character who, missing multiple limbs, is offered energy by Goku after being soundly thrashed and then tries to just shoot that energy back at Goku. This fellow lacks team spirit.

Wishing him back just so all ten could dunk on him one after the other would be sweet though.

In a world where everyone is slimming down, it's good to see Tien is still swole as gently caress.

And yep, that's Roshi alright. Wouldn't be surprised if his lust for booty is the impetus for Braly going all out.
