Anybody else rather see Cell in Super than Freeza?

[Warmmedown]

Freeza teaming up with the Z fighters and vice versa makes no sense. Defeats the original purpose of his whole character. He has always had no remorse and doesn't share a bond over a love of combat like Goku, Vegeta and Cell could. I don't mind him being in Super (ridiculous power up aside, which is another flaw in writing since a central tenet of his character was that he is naturally powerful, so doesn't train or work hard for his power), but watching Namek again makes it look like the Z fighters have completely betrayed themselves.

Really?

Have you forgotten about the deal he made with Goku? Goku recruiting Freeza is what made the Tournament all about. Despite how he hated Freeza and vice versa surviving the tournament means more than their personal problem and beside Freeze have been stucked in hell for a long time and in order for him to get out in there is to accept Goku's offer and make a deal with him. I can see Freeza doing exactly that.

Nope, not at all in fact.
Besides you liking Cell more than Freezer, there's absolutely nothing from a plot perspective that Cell can do that Freezer can't.
Even if Cell is theoretically speaking better than Freezer, Freezer is so cheated as a character that can be as strong as the plot demands so it can do anything Cell could do as well.
Furthermore, his story with the saiyans is much more juicy than Cell's story, so it only makes sense for him to be the one returning and not Cell.

I don't like Cell at all compared to Freeza, which is exactly why I'd have no problem with Super poorly handling his character rather than ruining the best villain in the franchise.

Due to poor writing. At least Cell has a broken moveset to justify ridiculous power increases.

Furthermore, his story with the saiyans is much more juicy than Cell's story, so it only makes sense for him to be the one returning and not Cell.

Not when his story with the Saiyans is reduced to the threat of Freeza being treat as no big deal nowadays.

Even then, from a writter's pow Freezer is much more juicy as a character than Cell, that's why they picked him up.

Due to poor writing. At least Cell has a broken moveset to justify ridiculous power increases.

Freezer's power ups were already justified in Namek. The fact of him not having trained in his life (he had never used 100% of his strength before Namek, and when he did it he had to force his body to the limit and couldn't mantain his maximum power even for a single second) was already made clear there, and also "anticipated" by Cell having a senzu past his "SSJ" forms.
If after doing absolutely nothing in all his life he was at MSSJ levels of power, it's only logical that a bit of training would do marvels to him.

Furthermore, knowing a lot of techniques doesn't give you power in DB. That wouldn't justify such brutal power ups.

Not when his story with the Saiyans is reduced to the threat of Freeza being treat as no big deal nowadays.

Let's see how that develops.
I don't think things will go like in the anime, and the manga already pointed how he became stronger despite doing absolutely nothing in a tree just because he did image-training there (which means that Freezer's control over his ki was atrocious even in the FnF saga).
If they're coherent with the character, even if his performance in the ToP is below Goku's, he has the potential to be a brutal thread again if the plot requires it.

If they'll handle it this way or not we will see it as the manga advances or the anime resumes after the movie.

The final scene is much better off with frieza than cell
