I wouldnt call Gero a huge curveball since he does have roots to DB. i enjoyed them delving into time travel and like i pointed out, the saga did have some great moments.

i wouldnt go so far as to say Buu shouldve never happened. it just couldve been done soooo much better. dont make trunks and goten ssjs, which wouldnt trivialize it.

another big flaw, imo, is the series completely undercuts every race besides saiyans. that really limits your characters and your stories. instead of Vegeta going Majin, what if they boosted a different character (maybe Yamacha) who was once important but fell by the wayside. Yamacha would have reason to go to the darkside with Vegeta stealing bulma and how worthless he had become.

Buu couldve gone in so many better directions. idk what the fan outcry was like at the time, but maybe people just wanted classic Goku vs villain stories that just dont hold up all that well.

This would have benefited the Buu saga greatly imo. I liked the saga for the most part, as it introduced us to a lot of background history in the DBZ world. It had it's high points.

To be fair, Toriyama wanted the Saiyans to be known as THE perfect warrior race. That's just what they were throughout Dragon Ball. I don't recall the Namekian race being undercut, but they're definitely a notch below the Saiyans. Frieza's race was very powerful also. (I don't believe their race was ever given a name?)
