@MetaMario:
then Goku beat him in Penguin Village in the Dr. Slump crossover chapters.
Wow, I didn't even remember he was part of the Penguin Village crossover.
I totally remembered the crossover, but I didn't remember the villain was any part of it.
At all.
He left no impression despite being in the story for a fair ammount of time.
He was just sort of a tough grunt to fill time… vastly overshadowed immediately by Tao who could kill with his tongue and fly by throwing logs and jumping onto them and who actually killed a guy and beat Goku and super fast climbed that tower and then returned later with a brother and as a cyborg and as part of Tien's arc.
Now, had Tao been named "General Green" he might have been just as forgettable, I dunno.

@Halfmetal-lich:
I'm talking about the people who hate the series because it didn't turn back time to when Dragon Ball was new and exciting for them.
Well that's just ridiculous. Even Dragonball proper wasn't that. It had the android arc which was dull and broody, and the Buu arc which a lot of people hate because it was fun… but everyone agrees the Saiyan/Namek stuff was the high point.
(And opinions on non-Z Dragonball will be mixed wildly depending on how someone actually experienced it.)
Here's the brutal truth. Super wasn't made for YOU, the hardcore Western fan. It was made for Japanese kids and they had the decency to throw in some fanservice.
And I completly agree with you. Super should have been given the money it deserved.
The upseting part is when they did the slice of life episodes they did fine. They know how to do filler. Its whenever they did ongoing "epics" and tried to have stakes they just sort of… didn't manage at all.
Doesn't help that this stupid tournament lasted an entire freaking year. when the longest tournaments of the the classic series were 20 episodes tops.
