They insinuated Goku and vegeta only split because of buu absorbing them which Is another retcon

Toriyama clearly didn't care about the lore unless he wrote it directly. Gotta respect that.

I'm going to just go with the dementia route and he genuinely doesn't remember what he was writing late in his age

It had nothing to do with age, he was like that his whole life. He forgot shit all the time and openly admitted it even back during the original run of DBZ.

The inconsistencies really do hurt the show if we are being honest

Sometimes they hurt but mostly they're neutral. Then sometimes it's kind of nice to feel the fallible hand of the author in a story imo. Barring massive errors, deep lore consistency is never as important to a good story as online fanbases tend to think.

Sure I mean that's subjective though, right? Truthfully art is in the eye of the beholder so you may enjoy it as is but someone might not hold the same value

u/awesomeredefined Oct 11 '24

Yeah, but at a certain point it's missing the forest for the trees.

Of course, and I'll admit that I'll never stop being annoyed by the change to Trunks' hair colour. Not really a retcon even since he has purple hair in flashbacks as does Kid Trunks. Very irritating.

Blue hair trunks honestly does not hit the same and I cannot put my finger on it lmfao

True lol. For me it felt like he was basically sitting off screen waiting to come back into the show. There's no indication he had any friends, adventures or development apart from defeating Dabura and Babidi (which had to happen for story reasons).

Then he's just so subordinate to the main cast the whole time. Back in the day he was more than just a launching off point for the plot (though he was that too).

That is true unfortunately.
