... disjointed and pandering? I know I'm a bit hasty judging by just 3 episodes but the characterization doesn't quite flow with me..

Vegeta is best known for being grumpy and obsessed with Goku... but by the fight with Kid Boo he had accepted Goku is better than me yet in Super, he acts like he has problem with it to the point where he seemed to have reverted back to his Pre-Majin Boo Saga self. I know Vegeta accepted his inferiority doesn't mean he would give up on surpassing him but the way Super handles it makes it seem unhealthy. Even though GT had barely any character development it actually handled this subject matter better.

Oh and there's his coldness towards Bulma and Trunks even though he's already accepted he has people to love and care about.. he shoulda taken them with more effect. Not openly affectionate but not a man-b**** about it.

Additionally, Chi-Chi is best known for yelling at Goku and Gohan so they make every scene with her involve yelling in Super. Her only existence is to b**** now. Even the opening seems to give away that's all they're gonna do with her character which sucks considering her character in the Boo Saga.

It especially sucks with how well written Bulma and Videl are in Super yet Chi-Chi's just left there to play the stereotype.. a stereotype that shoulda died over a decade ago. The 2008 OVA treated her better.

Muten Roshi is even worse off.... he's now nothing but a one-note perverted joke. Granted, Roshi was always VERY perverted but he was also very wise and the instances where he was perverted had set up and we're pretty clever... he even used the prize money from the 21st Budokai to treat Goku and the others to a buffet but in Super, it's all "breasts, Pafu Pafu, dirty s***". This in-your-face behavior was even in BOG.

The first episode had possibly the most forced perverted joke with Roshi where he somehow knew Goku received 100 million zenie then randomly appears to his house and wanted to use it to buy s***loads of "interesting" DVDS (which he was susquently chased out by Chi-Chi for).

Anyone feel me on this?

I think it's all aupposed to be funny, and we hardcore fans are too old for this stuff.
Seriously, I don't know about you but I'm 22 years old, maybe if i watched it in 10 years old like DBZ i would be OK with all of those crappy characters.
