Frieza has no depth whatsoever and gets random power-ups later on....Aizen is way better. :facepalm

Neither does Aizen, the dude is just a sociopath with a god complex. He's not interesting in any way. Neither of them are MEANT to have any depth, they're not meant to be relatable of sympathetic. They are both pure evil, by Kubo's own admission in Aizen's case mind you.

Trying to say I don't understand character writing while evidently not understanding not every villain needs to be deep. Sympathetic/Relatable antagonists and irredeemable/pure evil villains are both perfectly viable approaches and whichever is better depends on the execution and personal tastes.

So yeah, I'm gonna go with the guy who headlined Dragon Ball's best saga over the guy who carried one of Bleach's worst arcs straight into the ground every damn time.
depth is cool and all but i think it depends on what kind of story you want to tell
not helped by the fact that your villains depth has to be actual depth, and not just a childs understanding of depth

a villain with a sad backstory is not deep or justified, too many people dont get this

a better question would be... is friezas character improved by adding depth somehow, or does it serve the story in any way
 
I don't know what to think of this to be honest...


Even though I think the Simpsons already fell off quite a bit since the 2010's (outside of their Treehouse of Horror episodes), I still think the show honestly remains more enjoyable than the DB anime series.
