Filler is IMPORTANT to having good pace and character development.
Mangafags don't understand PACING. Anime is a different medium, you can't just copy+paste the manga into animation and call it a day. It will feel rushed and inorganic. This is why Kai is soulless compared to the original Funimation dub. Because it tries to stay "faithful" to the manga instead of story-building upon it and having characters interact with eachother organically in occasional day-to-day moments.
Yeah there's some bullshit detours like Goku falling into HFIL and Fake Namek, but then there's >Gohan and the Robot >Princess Snake >Ginyu swapping body with Bulma >Gohan vs Final Form Frieza >Gohan vs Vegeta >Yamcha/Tien vs Ginyu Force >Vegeta looking for Goku in space >Goku & Piccolo driving cars >Yamcha trying x300 gravity training >Goku in Other World Tournament >Gohan dating Angela >Party after Kid Buu's death ..and more that I can't come up with now. The vast majority of DBZ filler is great, especially if it expands upon lore like the Other World saga (and I'd even throw in Fusion Reborn) which I consider crucial to have a better grasp on the Buu Saga since it's so heavy on afterlife shit.
Sadly this is also why Gohan was the biggest bait and switch in history. Literally anything that made Gohan a character was filler only. And in the original broadcast of Z, this includes one line sentences that are slipped in here and there to subtly pad things out in a natural way. Everything that made the buildup to Cell feel legitimate was only part of the anime. Manga he's just some random kid with no personality except an explosive temper, and his victory comes out of nowhere. No wonder Toriyama didn't see his MC potential.
English bros, why are they called Cooler and Frieza. Shouldn't it be Freezer?

Op, you just like added shit that isn't in the original character so you can selfinsert. Stop kidding yourself, filler is only there so the manga can stay ahead of the anime. FMA is a perfect example of what happens in the opposite.

Vegeta would fuse with Freeza if that were the only way to save the day?

Capsule Corp has gone TOO FUCKING FAR this time. >Be Bulma >Childhood friend and husband will not stop shitting their diapers >Takes up too much time changing their big stinky loads all day >Invent a full diaper suit >Only have to change it once every 24 hours Be a real woman, be a real scientist, BITCH. Changing a freshly soiled diaper isn't JUST about changing the diaper to prevent infection and get rid of the smell, it's an entire experience, you bond with the person who has filled up their Pampers.
>>Gohan and the Robot >>Princess Snake >>Ginyu swapping body with Bulma >>Gohan vs Final Form Frieza >>Gohan vs Vegeta >>Yamcha/Tien vs Ginyu Force >>Vegeta looking for Goku in space >>Goku & Piccolo driving cars >>Yamcha trying x300 gravity training >>Goku in Other World Tournament >>Gohan dating Angela >>Party after Kid Buu's death KINO also >GARLIC FUCKING JR KINO
