What about Launch lolThis is the real best answer
ChiChi is actually insanely awful and annoying. She's an extremely greedy hick with anger control issues and not much positive to balance those big flaws out. And about her being an insane hillbilly, I have no idea what I would talk to ChiChi about given that she lives in a hut and spend all her time yelling at her kids and waiting to hear if her husband is alive or not.
this is because goku essentially kidnapped her, kept her hidden in a hut in the mountains, kept all forms of outside communication away from her, to the point where her friends and family didn't even know she was pregnant, and wasn't actually let to go anywhere for a few years after she even had the kid, either.ChiChi is the one that hunted Goku down and forced him to marry her because she was so psychotically focused on marrying him because of some dumb shit he said when he was like 10. If she hadnt've chased him down, she would have grown up living in a cave with her weirdo giant dad that chased everyone away from her. Goku is also a dumb weirdo hick but he's at least friendly enough to attract friends.
goku is just a huge piece of shit.

probably didn't help that goku abducted an old man to come to their castle, because they're goddamn royalty, only for the old man to explode their castle and land with a goddamn laser beam when the only thing they needed was a fire extinguisherOx King set Fire Mountain on fire and made it unlivable for possibly ChiChi's entire life. Roshi blowing up the whole thing up didn't really make a difference to their housing situation. And again, ChiChi's "revenge" is for Goku forgetting his promise to marry her. She doesn't care that much that he was involved in her inaccessible house being blown up.
goku is the root cause to their being destitute, and then when chichi confronts him for revenge he just buffalo bobs her ass and keeps her in a hole for years until she develops stockholm syndrome

the fire could have just been put out, instead they ended up with a crater. she went to goku under the guise of marriage, when her plan was to femme fatale him and exacting her revenge, but goku was obviously much stronger than her and kept her in a hole until she was stockholmed outI get that this is a bit but you have ChiChi's motivations reversed. Revenge under the guise of marriage would've been sort of interesting but the reality was marriage under the guise of revenge and that allowed Toriyama to put the lady character in a dumpster where he didn't have to write anything for her anymore. ChiChi could've just disappeared into the ether like Launch and Goku wouldn't have lost a second of sleep over it.
he also destroyed some dudes car there, too, because he's an absolute monster
he's never even kissed chi chi, lending support to her just being a victim and only something to be used
hell, he killed his brother and all he wanted to do was meet his nephew
yes i know the actual reasons, it's just funner to use headcanonsI think Toriyama did well with the things he cared about. Goku and Vegeta are relatively threadbare archetypes and yet they've been globally influential characters for decades. Raditz being a one-off is kind of funny in retrospect but I don't think DBZ is worse off without that being mined out. I admire Oda's ability to use every millimeter of plot thread in One Piece but Toriyama's ability to not even consider looking backward for even a second (aside from Cell being technically a Red Ribbon invention) is Dragon Ball's strength. It's just cool shit happening that's totally unburdened by its own past or lore without being deliberately stupid about it. Super is unreadable pig slop specifically because its just regurgitating remixed basics of DBZ without either intelligently digging into stuff Toriyama left unexplored or coming up with its own interesting ideas.
toriyama shit the bed on most of his characters
raditz, for example. gokus actual blood brother, ignored and forgotten as soon as goku and picollo killed him

?A recurring gag character, an old villain that dies in literally 20 pages (less than two chapters) after he shows up, and Cell having a Red Ribbon sticker on his packaging is extreme nitpicking to act like DBZ wallows in its own past events.
he looked backwards all the time, just look at pilaf and co, and freiza, and cell
