Figured that I might as well get this out of the way. Now, I won't lie; I had to actually think about a few of these. But, I think I have my conclusion. So, anyways...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Favorite Character: Krillin
Yeah, I spent the most amount of time trying to formulate who my favourite Dragonball character is. Ultimately, I came up with Krillin simply because the main cast are getting the major focus, despite not having much else to them. I think Krillin is my personal favourite character because he just felt more relatable from beginning to end of the series. He's also that really awesome friend that sticks by you, even through the worst of times. People often mock Krillin for dying more than once, yet a lot of characters have also died more than once. I sure hope this Tournament of Power redeems Krillin's rep (I'm aware that the Cell and Buu arcs have done that to a degree, but eh..)

*Least Favorite Character: Frost
This was practically a no-brainer. I've read the Manga version of the Universe 6 arc first, simply because I couldn't find a reliable method/site to watch the Dragonball Super Anime at the time. In the Manga, I just thought that Frost was just nothing special, but I liked him there because we finally have a good Freeza-like character. It was a breath of fresh air, and a nice change of pace, since we had the likes of King Cold and Cooler (and, especially Kuriza) that were villains... then, I finally found a way to see the Anime, and... yeah, I just hate the Anime version of Frost. The Anime made him out to be an unnecessary dime-store imitation of Freeza... something that Vegeta even lampshades. I seriously hope that the Universal Survival arc will redeem Frost somewhat, though I still doubt it.

*Favorite Saga: Androids/Cell saga
Another no-brainer. It's no secret that I truly enjoy this saga the most. I'm fully aware that the repeated change in villains (and, executive meddling) could probably be seen as confusing, but that's not that much of a problem for me. I like this saga because the focus wasn't entirely on Goku, and it actually focused on the other characters the way the Saiyan saga (and the Freeza saga, to a lesser degree) did. I also like this saga because it really feels like the Z-Fighters are actually improving themselves. Rather than just adding on more and more Super Saiyan forms, like they did later in the series, they try to expand upon the "regular" Super Saiyan form and make it something to be earned, not just blessing them with "good genes".

*Least Favorite Saga: Garlic Jr saga
Surprised? You would think that the Buu saga was my least favorite, because of all the flack I always give it. I understand. But, no. I actually enjoy the Buu saga to a point, because it was at least entertaining enough; I just don't like the sub-texts of the story. This saga, though... just felt like a boring slog-fest. I can sum it up as "Take Dead Zone and make it utterly suck". I know this is a filler arc, and it shows! For that reason, it's my least favourite, because it made the main antagonist a complete dumbass. I can commend it for one thing, and that's having the Z-Fighters trying to manage without Goku... but then it gets shot down, because it's outright stated that they didn't even need Goku for someone like Garlic Jr. This saga was a waste of time, through to the end.

*Most Overrated Character: Freeza
Yeah, yeah. I'm one of the few people that didn't put Broly in this category. Here's why I put Freeza here: He's been brought back to life, and then killed countless times already! I like Freeza as a villain, but do we really need him for every time a particular villain has to be brought back? He's been obliterated 2 and a half times, punched to death, boiled, burned, vaporized, sliced to pieces, to hell and back! And now, Goku's lack of a brain-cell wants to bring him back AGAIN for the coming Tournament of Power after DBS just tossed Buu aside for a second time (and just when Buu was finally going to get his chance to start fighting again, they pull some bullshit reason out their asses; even the other Z-Fighters are aware of how much of a dumb idea this is) like some kind of cock-tease.

*Most Underrated Character: Yamcha
Do I need to say it?

*Favorite Movie: Dead Zone
Well, I had to really scratch my head for this one. While "Broly - the Legendary Super Saiyan" still holds a special place in my heart, I was torn between choosing either that, or this movie. Honestly, I chose this one because I don't think I've ever given my opinion on it. I really like Dead Zone because it feels like a transition point from the end of the Original Dragonball toe the start of Z. Unlike in the aforementioned Garlic Jr saga, I actually found the title villain more interesting here. While he still has the whole "Immortal = Unkillable" trope that still bugs me a whole lot in fiction, this was still a villain that Goku couldn't defeat in a straight-up fight, which is increasingly rare nowadays. I remember seeing the Ocean dub version of this movie, and enjoying it. (I still enjoy the Funimation dub a tiny bit more). Honestly, if the series was more like this movie, I'd be all for it!

*Least Favorite Movie: Lord Slug
-sigh- I honestly really wanted to like this movie. I really did. And, to be fair, it started off pretty well. But, by the time Slug revealed himself proper, I was already disappointed. The fact that everybody aside from Goku, and MAYBE Piccolo ended up giving up/being useless even before Slug revealed himself as the main villain of the movie proper was just a let-down. Oh, and I understand what they were going for with the whole "False Super Saiyan" thing with this movie, but it ended up not going anywhere. I'm guessing it was a possible sneak peek at the Super Saiyan form before it was properly revealed? Eh, it was still pointless, and just felt like an empty attempt. That, and Lord Slug just being a King Piccolo clone

*Favorite Villain: Cell
I've talked about why Cell is my favourite villain in all of fiction, so I'll try to keep it brief. I just really enjoy the concept of the Z-Fighters essentially fighting a petri-dish comprised of themselves. And I found it disturbing, yet cool that Cell takes on a personality trait of one of the Z-Fighters with each form he takes on, but with a more malicious twist to it. Especially when he gains his perfect form; he becomes very self confident, and holds a Tournament just to fight against challenging opponents. All the while, showcasing his power to the world. It's like Goku, but with a more malicious twist to it.

*Least Favourite Villain: Zamasu
Oh, here come dem fanbois... Yeah, I found Zamasu promising at first, but then became disappointed (and annoyed) with him by the end of the Trunks arc because he was so cut-and-dry. Basically, it's the same exact problem I had with Baby from GT. Zamasu started off with a well-enough motive; a "Well-Intentioned Extremist", if you will. But, the problem I have with him is that he still acts like your typical, run-of-the-mill Dragonball Z villain. He's supposed to be this no-nonsense "ningen" purger, but he still wastes time in preaching rather than actually practicing. He still monologues, and screws around with the main heroes just because he can, instead of... you know, finishing them off!
It's probably better explained here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQGov2c7lnk

*Favorite Battle: The Cell Games
A fantastic ending to my favourite saga! Cell plans to use this tournament to wipe out the planet's best defenses, slowly whittling away any hope humanity has for survival against him. Well, Hercule still has to fight him first before the Games start proper. Goku goes up against Cell first, with Cell hoping to have saved the best for last. While I do think it'd technically be cheating if I included the Cell Games in its entirety as an entry here, it honestly does feel like a battle between Cell and the Earth itself!

*Least Favourite Battle: Vegetto vs Zamasu
Along with the aforementioned issue I have with Zamasu, I seriously hate how it's become a rule of thumb within the Dragonball canon that if characters are forced to fuse together to defeat the enemy, they're going to fail! Yes, I'm in that tiny-ass camp that wishes that the Potara Fusion stayed a (normally) permanent fusion for a two bigger reasons.
a) It was something to set it apart from the other non-Namekian fusions. It was the opposite of the Fusion Dance, which was a finite-timed Fusion method, unless said Fusion uses up a lot more power. Now that the Potara now has a time-limit for non-Kais, there's literally nothing to set this Fusion apart from the other Fusions. Not to mention that the risk of using it is supposedly gone, and is apparently consequence-free.
b) As I mentioned, from this fight on, all battles with timed Fusion characters are going to play out exactly the same way, thus getting repetitive, and further eliminating the point of the Fusion in the first place to the point where the Fusion Dance might as well be unique to just Trunks and Goten. This fight is just saying "Yeah, now every single fusion is going to make the exact same mistake."

Oh thank GOD,someone who isn't a total and complete dick sucker to Zamasu and that, for that matter, doesn't insist that his name is Zamas! Zamasu was one of the worst, lamest, most predictable villains i have seen in DB in a LONG time and his saga was SO PREDICTABLE! It was all just...bad. And i have to agree with Frieza being the most overrated character, especially now that they are bringing him BACK AGAIN for the Tournament Of Power. BTW that video you have linked in the Zamasu part doesn't work

Wow, I love how you detailed your reasons for everything. It is very organized and answers a lot of what I would be interested in asking. I can respect that ^w^
