Make Yamcha not as weak as how people perceive him. Krillin as strong as Vegeta. Dude was Goku's mini rival he deserves it. Gohan not some wimp. Goku not being the main character. Vegeta getting his rightful kills. Future Trunks comes back.

Toriyama was never clear about what made any fighter stronger to another so it became a thing in the series that whomever had the bigger power level wins. All of this can be summed up to what I said about toriyama introducing an idea that either isn't thought out fully or has no solid footing. Or just being ambiguous in this case its a bit of both mostly the latter.

There is no proof piccolo was as strong as you are saying in the android saga gor all we know goku would have kicked 19 and 20 ass if he was not sick or maybe he wouldn't. Maybe he wasn't even going full power wich is why he didn't finish them immediately.

Battles and dragon ball series are always like this. That's what the problem here is its too ****ing hard to know how strong anybody really is because of the style toriyama writes battles this is the real answer to your problem here.

Also I mostly agree with what you say about goten and trunks I say mostly because there is a explanation that had to do with sayian and human hybrids being unusually strong. But like o said due to toriyamas style of writing in not really sure tien couldn't hold his own against goten and trunks in base form that is.
There is proof, we know piccolo was stronger than an untrained super saiyan in the manga and also during the cell games he did just as well as trunks and vegeta when fighting the cell jrs. I am not saying he was equal to the super saiyans but he couldn't have been far off.

You are right about that. This problem is even worse in the new movie. At least in the new movie tein and roshi got to shine.

How DBZ should have been?

Saiyan Saga:
Goku and Piccolo vs. Raditz (Raditz and Goku die)
Z-Warriors train with Kami and Popo
Piccolo trains Gohan (teaches him Masenko and Special Beam Cannon)
Z-Warriors fight Nappa. They all hold their ground, Chaozu uses Kamikaze technique (fails), Tien finishes Nappa with Spirit Tri-Beam, they all fight Vegeta, Vegeta kills Tien, Yamcha, and Piccolo, Gohan uses an angry Masenko but Vegeta counters the technique quickly, Goku saves Gohan and Krillin. fights Vegeta...don't change the rest it's perfect the way it is.

Frieza Saga:
Keep everything until Piccolo arrives to save Gohan, Krillin, Dende, and Vegeta, Piccolo uses Kaioken to fight Frieza, Frieza transforms to 3rd state, Piccolo goes Kaioken x2 while everyone else powers up to help him, Piccolo, Gohan, Krillin uses up all their energy, Dende dies, Vegeta and Frieza square up, Frieza beats Vegeta into a bloddy pulp, Goku comes and saves the day, Frieza kills Vegeta, Goku and Frieza square up, Goku hits Frieza with spirit bomb, Frieza comes back and kills Goku, injures Piccolo, Gohan becomes the Legendary Super Saiyan (his form is similar to SSJ2), Gohan tells Krillin to leave w/ Piccolo and Bulma. Gohan fights Frieza, Gohan spares Frieza's life out of mercy, Frieza does a sneak attack, Gohan defeats him with an angry Masenko, Gohan leaves Namek on spaceship before destruction, comes home, everyone is happy.

Bojack movie:
Everything up until when Bojack arrives, Tien and Yamcha do a fusion they learned from King Kai to form Tiencha, Vegeta, Kid Trunks, Tiencha, Chaozu and Piccolo fight the henchmen which they succeed, Gohan fights Bojack, gets crushed by a bear hug, Piccolo saves Gohan but then gets knocked out, the fusion time limit is up and both Tien and Yamcha get knocked out, Kid Trunks gets knocked out, Krillin tries to help but gets knocked out. Gohan, after using half of his power, then goes Legendary Super saiyan (SSJ2 form) and does a energy beam battle with Bojack, everyone helps out Gohan by firing at Bojack from behind but gets blown back, Goku gives Gohan confidence, Vegeta shoots one more energy blast at Bojack, Gohan releases everything he's got, Kills Bojack, everyone's happy.

Battle of Gods:
Everything until Beerus and Whis arrives on Earth. Beerus fights and knocks everyone out. Gohan goes Legendary Super Saiyan to fight Beerus, holds his own, Gohan then passes out only to be caught by Beerus, Beerus tells Gohan that he won't destroy the planet and he will train Gohan to control his Super Saiyan form as long as he brings him tasty snacks, Gohan accepts and goes with Beerus to train.

Resurrection F:
Everything until Gohan arrives. Gohan fights Frieza, they both transform, they deal great damage to each other, Gohan uses Super Masenko to kill Frieza, Vegeta negates the attack saying that HE wants to defeat Frieza, Frieza mocks him by calling him the PRINCESS of all Saiyans, Vegeta then goes Super Saiyan and mercilessly beats the crap out of Frieza and ultimately kills him. The movie ends with Gohan fighting and eventually training Uub to be the next hero of Earth.
holy crap you put a lot of thought into this.. some interesting ideas though

Gohan going super saiyan during the Frieza saga? Lol This is a fail thread. But this is seriously trash, you just replaced Gohan with Goku. Should have just said let Gohan be the protagonist of DBZ.

And the worst part that I would have handle different is the last DBZ movie with Frieza. Gohan seems so weak and same goes for Piccolo who couldn't win against a Frieza soldier on Zarbon Level. And in the other hand Master Roshi can compete with Frieza soldiers. I mean seriously?!!! The movie showed that anybody in the main cast who is not Goku or Vegeta is weak. Worse than the Sayains being more powerful...

1- Make tien, Krillin, Yamcha and Piccolo learn ways to keep up with high tiers (like Cell lvl) without having a huge KI. Like using hax techniques, not just power.

2- Add a character named Chronos and he'd be the final villian

3- More Vegita and less Goku until they're even. Then Goku goes back to the top since he's the main character
