All these characters have received much better narrative development compared to what Dragon Ball Z did
It cannot be denied that Dragon Ball Super did not start in the best possible way. And it is that the animated series faced many criticism and rejected due to their poor animation quality and other details that fans did not like. However, over time, both the anime and the manga, despite having its differencestheir narrative quality were improving little by little until the controversy completely overcome.
Dragon Ball Super manga may not be perfect, but without a doubt we have positively surprised us with the great quality of writing of Toriyama and, in fact, even this story has treated certain characters much better compared to what Dragon Ball Z did, giving them more narrative development. And these are some of the best examples.
Bardock
Bardock has had a better development in Dragon Ball Super, being a better father and husband
Bardock was a character originally introduced in Dragon Ball Z movies, where we could meet a little more about him, revealing that he was a fairly wild and violent character, but who had to mature by a series of circumstances. However, Dragon Ball Super takes the concept of Goku's father and provides greater narrative development.
And this manga managed to give a better development to Bardock, presenting him as a much more pragmatic and empathetic warrior, especially that he looks more like Goku than anyone would think. And in Broly's movie we can see that he was also a more loving husband and also worried about his children. About the latter we saw in the Granolah saga The survivor.
Android 17
In Dragon Ball Z, Android 17 has very little development and participation. Yes, it stars in an epic fight against Piccolo, but after it is absorbed by Cell, it practically disappears. While Dragon Ball Super gives him a better development. And it was not only the winner of the power tournament, wishing to restore all the universes eliminated, but we met more of him in his facet of rangers.
Android 17 ended up inheriting the will of Android 16, so it became rangers to protect nature And animals too. This is a great development for this character that began as a simple villain.
Broly
Broly has also been a better treatise in Dragon Ball Super
Broly is another of the characters that has had a better deal in Dragon Ball Super compared to Dragon Ball Z, Where was a monster without consciousness No personality. In fact, Broly was a basic villain, barely and had dialogues, since it was only a brain killing machine.
However, by doing it Canon in Dragon Ball Super, he also received a much more interesting background, a better interaction with his father and other secondary characters who became friends with him. He was not a monster without brain, but a victim of his father's abuse and who was helped by his friends to improve. In fact, he joined the Goku team and trains with them to become stronger and master their power.
Freezer
Freezer began as a simple villain with aspirations to conquer the universe. In fact, he was someone who imposed terror with his presence, causing all kinds of destruction. However, Dragon Ball Super has gone further and has made it an anti-hero. And it is that this character was willing to put his side differences with Goku to be part of the power tournament.
But it is not all, since we must emphasize that, later, during the events of Granolah the survivor, Freezer appears and saves Goku and Vegeta, although later he leaves them unconscious, but saves their lives. Dragon Ball Super has chosen to give this treatment to Freezerwhich feels quite well.
