Goku Black is cool. There's a reason he's well liked but you won't see someone with a Jiren pfp.
In what world is Goku Black whiny but OG Broly and Baby are “good villains” lmao
If you think Black is just an evil Goku I’m convinced you haven’t read/watched the story at all.
Wearing Goku’s face doesn’t make it a “what if Goku was evil?” story.
Having a god become evil is actually a novelty idea for Dragon Ball.
It’s baffling that you’d think this is a more childish idea than pink blob and the 11th return of Red Ribbon.

Nobody gives a shit about the plot of Freeza or Cell. It's their presentation as villains that appealed to the masses (presence/design/charisma). I also don't know where you are getting this strange idea that an evil alien space tyrant and a bio android were innovative concepts back then. The entire Cell arc plotline is glorified fanfiction.So, that tells you nobody actually gave a shit about the plot or lore surrounding Gokuu Black; all they saw was "edgy evil Gokuu who kills people" and ate it up.
For zoomers like you and GSM who grew up on DBS (you two were literally 12-13 when DBS started 10 years ago and 10-11 when BoG came out. Not to put you guys down for your ages, but it's no surprise you'd like "evil pink Goku" when you're so young), Gokuu Black might be cool. But for older fans like the people who grew up with DBZ on Toonami, he's nothing special.

Whether you like it or not, characterization and character design are the major selling points for the majority of DB fans. Goku Black has both.
Anime Zamasu would maybe be bumped up to D
Better characterization, more interesting fights. Both versions dropped the ball hard near the end so I don't really give the manga a leg up in that regard.Why do you think the anime version was better?

Still better than the asspulls they did with him in the anime. He has learns every Vegeta technique (Galick Gun, Final Flash, BBA) offscreen, he can somewhat fight Rose Black in regular SSJ2, he gets an unexplained barely reacted to form that makes him Buff and gives him blue aura that makes him equal to Rose Black, he just "learns" Genkidama for no reason and makes one powerful enough to kill someone equal to Blue Vegetto from energy from beaten up Base Saiyans and like 20 humans?Manga Trunks sucked balls, he couldn’t even defend the dozen or so humans left and his planet became a total wasteland way before the final fight.
How exactly did Gohan get his beast form? I forgot.SSJ Ikari does make sense now that Beast Gohan exists in Super in fairness. Everything else is Toei sucking Trunks off so hard it would make Mai blush, though
Gohan got enraged when Cell Max nearly killed Piccolo. It was just another glorified Gohan rage moment, that AT took advantage of to crank out another new form to sell toys with at Toei/Bandai's behest.How exactly did Gohan get his beast form? I forgot.
Are these Saiyan hybrid exclusive firms? Why are they so powerful? I maybe can get behind Beast Gohan being that strong since he was already above Blue level in Ultimate form but Trunks going from being 1shot by SSJ3 Goku to knocking Rose Black into a building and surviving his KHH to even gaining an advantage on him in his Ikari form and forcing him to adapt further is too much.
