Why didn't the Farmer become the main hero of DBZ? Is it because of those blasted Goku fanboys?

Mr. Toriyama originally planned for the Farmer to be the main hero, but unfortunately he did cave in to those blasted Goku fanboys. They put so much pressure on him, that he was forced to reduce the Farmer's role in the story to a mere brief encounter with an illegal space alien. Rumour had it that Mr. Toriyama was actually planning to have the Farmer be involved in a number of major fights too.

The Farmer represents something that I feel was lacking in the Dragonball series, especially later on through out Z. Amid all the craziness of superhuman fights and beam blasting, I found the Farmer to be a foil to Goku and gang in that there are regular ol' people that live within the Dragonball world, and that they also contribute in their own way to that world.

While Goku and gang rely on prize money, leeching off other people, or even resorting to blackmail later on, the Farmer makes a living doing honest work. His aspirations of making a simple living raising ostriches are not unreasonable, and while he may not be saving the world with his work, he's contributing to the world in his own special way.

However, the Farmer also represents that despite having no interest in political matters of the world, there will be some jerk that brings his world crashing down. Sadly despite his attempts to stand up for himself, he promptly gets thrashed for no reason other than simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Ultimately, I believe the Farmer is a representation of all us. Sure, none of us have super powers, but our actions affect the world, no matter how small. Also, there will be times you cannot run, and have to ultimately stand up to illegal aliens and take matters in to your own hands. Even if success is unlikely, you need to make the point that you will not take crap from illegal aliens who feel the need to destroy your little world simply because, your choice of lifestyle is better than theirs.

So what's so appealing about the Farmer? Despite his brief appearance, it's that brief appearance that compels me to completely take the piss out of the seriousness of Dragonball Z and just come up with a back story for him. Even though Mr. Toriyama and most (if not all) of the Dragonball community has forgotten about him, I haven't.

(sorry for the late response Orichimaru >_>)

I've been surprisingly well, even in the face of my final exams starting from friday. Thanks for asking :)

Farmer vs. SSJ4 Gogeta? pffft, that's a no brainer. The Farmer of course!

I disliked most of Dragonball GT, except for the ending which finally addressed the issue that was kind of touched upon in the Boo arc of DBZ, but Goku and co. clearly ignored it - which was to stop relying on the Dragon balls to fix everything up every time trouble happens. The Elder Kai warned about repeatedly using the dragon balls, and his warnings came true when the Evil Dragons manifested due to over use of the Dragon balls.The fact that Shenron (and not Kami-sama/Dende) deemed that Earth and its inhabitants were not worthy of using the dragon balls responsibly, and decided to deactivate the dragon balls for 100 years was the wake up call that the gang needed to lift their game if they wanted to keep protecting the Earth.
I liked Dragonball GT in that aspect, but I didn't really care much for the rest of the series.
