I HATED the great saiyaman. goten was useless, but pan was a good addition, to bad she never went ssj. babi was good ur right.
Cell came off as the least threatening villain to me, mainly because by the time the Cell Games came around, you had at least three Super-Saiyans who were each able to give him a good fight, but you had to actually go with the idea that instead of just ganging on him, they’d fight him one-on-one. And then there's the fact that it became solely about power levels and energy beams and just about any one who wasn't a Saiyan at that point was basically useless.
The idea that some random creations by a no-name Earth-bound scientist were suddenly more powerful than a legendary universal threat just seemed phoned in to me. Majin Buu, on the other hand, actually felt like a step up since he was a monster who challenged the gods themselves.
Not to mention Goten and Trunks were annoying, Gohan's stint as a high-school student was stupid, and Yamcha and Bulma were separated because Toriyama was pissy for having to continue the series after he wanted to end it.
Now, if I had to go past the Frieza saga, I’d introduce a new girl to the series for Vegeta to get together and have Trunks with, have Cooler (who would be Frieza's younger, weaker brother here) come down to Earth for revenge and be killed by future Trunks, and have him tell the heroes about the androids. Androids 16, 17, 18 and possibly Cell would be henchmen made from Babidi’s magic in order to revive Buu like those other human henchmen were shown doing. The androids would be main threat at first until it’s revealed that the real enemy is Babidi trying to revive Buu, which even Trunks didn’t know about.
Vegeta would achieve Super-Saiyan level through some life-threatening challenge, Piccolo would fuse with Kami for more power, the humans would develop other techniques that would help them keep up, and they’d all gather to fight together one more time against this new threat. The fights overall would involve more strategy and be less about energy beams. 16, 17 and 18 would turn around while Cell, Babidi, and Buu would all be destroyed, Buu possibly by the spirit bomb. With Kami gone, the dragonballs would be gone forever and Goku might die and stay dead from the last major battle and every one else would move on with their lives. Series over.
That would be how I’d change it besides my first response.
