I find that to be very unfair to Trunks. His world at the time was utterly screwed, no hope, just a life of misery thanks to the cyborgs. It took years of planning and hard work to finally find peace not just for himself but for the whole world. He finally actually manages to stop the cyborgs through the remote, only for some random bug to kill him and steal his time machine. So through weird issues, he's got to deal with two cyborgs and another creature on that. All because he wanted to help his, let's be honest, pretty f***ed up world.

And he finally gets it, he kills the androids, kills Cell and finally gets a little peace in his world. There are no dragon balls he knows of that will fix this. Gohan and the rest aren't coming back so he and the rest of the world really needs to work together to fix the damages done.

And then Goku Black shows up.

And then everyone in the universe gets blown up.

Trunks had no intention of playing God, he just wanted to help his world and he was screwed over as a result. Trunks is lucky he's part of some nice, Shounen series because any other character would've snapped at this point. He'd have murdered everyone in cold-blood, murdered his friends, murdered his allies, cooked Zeno in a stove and then used his time machine to go back to a young Goku and kill him while laughing. He would've gone off the deep end as any rational character would have and would become the only living thing in all universes.

And then he would've slit his throat.

Because it would honestly just be like...

"If I can't have a happy life, why should any of you?"

Lesson is that instead of messing with all this time travel s*** future Piccolo, Tenshinhan, Yamcha and Krillin should have simply gone to King Kai (as soon as they died) and asked him to contact the Namekians to resurrect them and Vegeta, stick Gohan and Vegeta in the ROSAT that Mr Popo or Kami once reviced should inform them of and then have Vegeta stomp the androids. If Vegeta is too risky then Piccolo can fuse with Kami and hop into the ROSAT with Gohan for good measure.

That's a bit retroactive since the topic is about Black Goku saga, but also extremely accurate. Lesson is (prepare to be hurrprised) people still can't do s*** without Goku.

But the thing about the script is not new music to our ears. We know A.T. made up everything as he went on with the manga, so chances are that maybe when writing F.Trunks saga, he already forgot about Namek saga. And then remembered again during Buu saga.
