People who dislike it just say so because its not canon.

It also had Krillins best outfit.

It doesn't make sense when the movie is its own canon and then it gets a continuation in the anime canon. It's sort of like, I don't know, the next Batman movie continuing a storyline from the Lego Batman movies.

I haven't watched it in over a decade and a half but I remember liking it cuz the Z fighters couldn't rely on Goku or Vegeta to solve their problems.

Plus Maron tho!

no

the movie was fine and should have just been left at that. the arc at first was a cool through back but how are you gonna have an immortal villain get caught in his own attack twice. you know the only thing that could stop him. would have been way better if piccolo just ended it with the mafuba on him instead.

The pacing is fantastic compared to the rest of the show.

More like 8 minutes, they did a more complete (but still brief) version later as a Kai episode:

Are you serious? Literally nothing happens 3/4 of the time, even by DBZ standards that's slow.

Say what you will, at least Garlic Jr nutted up and actually got his Immortality wish.

And then get gets knocked into the dead zone again

I pretty much like it almost solely because it's not a "Goku will show up save the day" arc. In fact, there's a lot of stuff that I like about it conceptually--The Villain's plan is more interesting than "I'm just going to blow up the planet hahah". The way they have to stop the evil plan is more interesting than "Punch the bad guy until he can't blow up the planet". The usage of the cast feels more meaningful than "The Z Fighters delay the big bad until Goku shows up".

The ending was, you know, really uncreative but that doesn't mean it's all bad.

It was harmless filler, a nice break in the action after a major story arc.

Tell that to Krillin, he got his heart broken, got so down bad for the first female that showed any interest for him after that he nearly doomed the planet.

The idea that Garlic Jr could go from barely being able to take on Piccolo and Goku at the beginning of Dragon Ball Z to overpowering post-Namek Piccolo because of a dumb star is ridiculous.

Frieza being unable to beat Namek Goku, but training four months allows him to keep up with a much more tenured Goku somehow.

Dr. Gero somehow makes two humans stronger than Super Saiyan Vegeta.

Gohan goes from losing to Majin Buu to handling Super Buu because his potential was unlocked. Again.

Android 17 can match SSB by beating up poachers.

Dragon Ball has never cared about logical power scaling.

We did get this dope theme.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8r4h29tEWQ

I did enjoy watching this saga. Fights were cool. Goku didn't have to be the savior, Piccolo, Krillin and Gohan putting in work, Krillin bagging Maron a unique way of causing trouble on Earth. Not bad.
