I can kind of understand the love the for Adult Gohan, even though what the fuck man, when you're one of the 9 people on the planet capable of maybe defending against the world ending threats that occur with stunning regularity maybe you should just keep being that person instead of being like "Thanks for the power up, closest thing we have to god in the universe, Ima go back to school and let these powers fade away again."

But why do people like Vegito so much? What's so exciting about that stupid plot point that didn't even end up saving the day in the end, EITHER of the times it happens?

That was a business move, I don't remember the exact details but afaik the DB anime was already airing & huge when Toriyama was starting the Buu saga and because he thought it would be a more popular move for the franchise, he made a conscious decision to keep Goku as the main character indefinitely instead of letting Gohan take over (which is the way the story was obviously going all the way from Saiyan through Cell saga).

I would have loved DB still to this day if they allowed Gohan to take over. The end of Cell Saga was so hype and I was so on board with Gohan taking over. We all love Goku but at some point I started getting the same Superman vibes I get from some DC stories, instead here is always "Welp, let's just wait until Goku pulls some shit out of his ass to win this fight".

I get it. Goku/Vegeta are just more fun than Gohan. Even when he's full on Mr Piccolo taught me to be badass again, he's still just no where near as fun as Goku's "I love fighting so much I will literally coach my enemies mid fight just so they're stronger and this fight is more fun!" and Vegeta's "I am the Saiyan prince and I will be the strongest in the universe and nothing will stop me from achieving that except if it conflicts with my love for my wife and children whom I absolutely adore." Awww. Remember when he tried to blow up the planet? Now he's ADORABLE.

The BoG movie probably had the best Vegeta moment in years when he went berserk after Beerus slapped Bulma.

Oh I fuckin’ loved that scene. Vegeta being royally pissed is always exciting.
