Yup. Mai and Trunks then went into a different timeline and the timeline itself we have been watching was and will stay destroyed. Actually no more that timeline. So Zeno actually destroyed everything and did it very easily and quickly. It would have been better that Zeno then would recreate it all minus Black an Zamasu.
Z warriors failed.
It's even worse than losing everyone.
He also lost the afterlife. Even after he dies, Trunks can never be reuinited with his friends, family, mother..

Read through that, and tell me Trunks entire history wouldn't have Seita from Grave of the Fireflies patting him on the shoulder and going "there, there."
Trunks failed to stop Zamasu, still gets to stop Zamasu by creating another parallel future world where his mom still lives. So all in all not too sad, as its the same future he left just months in advance. But that feeling of utter hopelessness to stop his world from being destroyed will be with him forever

I don't believe it's the "same" future.
Just like future Zeno isn't the same Zeno, and didn't even recognize Goku. Or like how Cell came from an entirely separate future to Trunks.
So far, history has never been changed. Not once. It's more likely yet another reality that's close to Trunk's (If not exact).
That's what I mean, though. It's a branch (The whole "time ring" thing is based on branching outcomes).
There's no undoing anything that happened.. It's done. That other branch is good and dead. Trunk's living in another reality where time duplicate's (essentially) of everyone he knows live.
And I forgot about Whis, when I said time travel never actually changes anything in a timeline. Her power obviously does, for some reason, but standard time travel operates more like Marvel Comics does it (By creating alternate timelines, instead of altering an existing one.)
The point is that Trunks doesn't live in his original timeline. He lost. Z warriors utterly lost against Zamasu. Zamasu alone crushed them and would kill them if not for Zeno. Zeno didn't save anything, only crushed Zamasu.
Trunks went to another timeline... it would be better if he stayed with Goku and others in original timeline. He is not in his timeline either way.

So if Trunks and Mei are just going to live in another branch timeline why not just stay in the prime timeline which is also a branch off the future timeline. Unless those two really are okay living it up "Rick and Morty" style.
Mai already explained why she wanted to go back and it makes sense.
It make the decision better. Would you want to be on a planet where you know everyone? Where you've built a relationship with people (even though this timeline has 2 Trunks and Mais). A planet that FEELS LIKE home or would you want to go to a place where you do not know a soul (minus the Z fighters)? At the end of the day, both Mai and Trunks are important people, hell, 2 of the most important people on the planet. Anyone with any brain cells would want to go back HOME instead of being on a planet they know nothing about.
Also, Trunks and Mai can make a difference in their timeline, especially given the amp Trunks have. Goku even tells us that Trunks would be able to face any threat that comes his way. In Goku and Vegeta time line, he isn't needed. What good would he do there? Fight in a tournament that he will probably end up losing his match anyway? Why abandon a planet that needs you, especially where you can make a difference vs being on a planet that has high powered people and just live a normal life. That sounds kind of selfish to me AND pointless. Trunks and Mai made the right move.
Still seems pretty morbid that they're choosing to go to å future that's still ruined by android and populated with reminders of those that Trunks couldn't save. Also isn't it selfish to create another timeline just for Trunks and Mei to stay in as any threat it faces is now indirectly their fault.
But at least Trunks got to shine again and hope that DBS stays as far away from this subject as possible going forward.
Question for those who have kept up with DBS:
On a 1-10 scale, where would you currently rate DBS compared to Z and GT? We'll assume Z = 9/10, and GT = 2/10.
I have only followed DBS very loosely, so this is a serious inquiry. IDGAF about flashy feats and the like; I'd like you to rank it based on the overall story/plot.
Pre Trunks saga actually isn't all that bad. Has some nice moments, and probably isn't much worse overall than any other fighting anime.
Post, it generally gets better. Better than the best of Z is a matter of opinion, and but it's definately thought provoking.
The best I can tell, Super is slowly re-building their world from the ground up, so it's probably not fair to really judge it by classic DB and Z standards.

DBZ= 9
DBS= 7
GT = 2
