You aren't going to be able to trounce Scotty by remembering the story better. He's not just trolling from ignorance, he remembers little details better than most people and is willing to pull up scans. I also recalled Bulma being bored and napping so obviously the ship had to have had an autopilot function.
He's just being inconsistent. He credits Goku for flying to Namek on a ship with autopilot despite never touching the controls but says Bulma didn't do anything for flying a ship with autopilot cause she was taking a nap. He doesn't understand his own arguments.

No, he didn't. When he turned down Bulma's suggestion for him to go to Namek, he simply offered to teach anybody who was willing to go Namekian.

That scan suggests that Krillin asked Bulma because she's the only person with her skillset. So not only is Bulma the only person capable of fixing the ship but she's the only one that was taught Namekian and can fly it. Cause if just anyone could fly the ship cause there was autopilot, then why did Popo bother making the offer to teach anyone Namekian?

LOL, you backpedaled from Popo to Krillin.

He asked Bulma to come not so she could fly the ship, but only so she could repair it in case something went wrong. And nothing went wrong at all, which means she wasn't needed to come at all.

A_Good_Boy posted...

Because you need to know Namekian to operate the ship in general. To open and close the door:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/0/4/5/AAa8v0AAD96t.jpg
To tell it where to go:
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/9/7/0/AAa8v0AAD95i.jpg
And of course, to land. Along with the text on the control panel screen, that's all you need to know to operate it. No need to pilot it yourself when there's an autopilot.

Not to fly it. Only to generally operate it. As already explained in post #109.

We literally see the ship fly itself to Jupiter, and to Namek while Bulma was literally sleeping. She even wanted to be in suspended animation during the trip, so she'd be asleep for all of it. That's point-blank, irrefutable proof that it had an autopilot. Stop with the disingenuity.

If Namekian is only needed to open and close the doors then why did Popo use Namekian to get it to fly to Jupiter? Why did Popo need to teach Bulma an entire language to pilot it instead of just teach her how to open and close the doors? Cause if that's all she was needed for, then why didn't Krillin just do that?

I already said that you also need to tell it where to go. In post 109. You need to tell it to open and close the door, you need to tell it where to go, you need to tell it where to land and that's about it. No actual piloting is necessary because it pilots itself. You lie about the story, you lie about what's being argued, you ignore hard evidence and you just cover your ears to argue in circles.

The ship had an autopilot and Bulma didn't pilot jack shit. Next.

So let me get this straight: Bulma controlled the opening and closing of the cockpit. Bulma controlled where the ship went and decided on the destination. Bulma also controlled the landing craft of the ship as well.

So Bulma piloted the ship, a task that nobody else could do, because they didn't have the necessary skillset because she was the only one capable of speaking to the ship.

Not to mention he's hiding from Freiza when he utterly wrecked Freiza the last time they clashed, this movie was written before the manga's Black Freiza came into play

Nah, Akira Toriyama created the Dragon Balls. Kami is just a worthless fictional character he created; a half-assed example of the classic "God is useless" trope. Watches over the conflicts of Earth just to do nothing about them, failed miserably the one time he attempted to stop someone and is quickly outclassed by Goku and co.

Him being the one who is said to have created the Dragon Balls in the story doesn't matter, because the plot doesn't focus on their creation. You could have had the Dragon Balls be created by a monkey shitting them out and nothing would change. There's a big difference between being important in an in-universe sense, and actually being important in the narrative (or in a meta sense), which is you Bulma fans continually fail to understand.

Ironically enough to your point, Kami no longer being around made the dragon balls disappear, which meant Bulma became that much more useful of a character because then she was relied upon to be the person to get the group back to Namek just so they could use the balls and revive him.

Wow, so not only is Kami actually a useful character, but his absence made Bulma a much more useful character too. Amazing how that works.

Another hypothetical argument for scotty
Let's say we get another tournament of power but this time it's against all the universes who were excluded from the first one, 1,5,8 and 12 for those who forgot and their returning universe 2, 6, 7 and 11 because the Zenos were most impressed with them. However this time it's bracket style 10 on 10 battles instead of all at once who would Universe 7's 10 be here if you had the choice, in true Toriyama fashion Buu is off the table however if you so wish you can choose 1 universe 7 filler character make their canon debut this arc such as Pikkon, Android 21, any GT character and any Heroes character so long as that character came from Universe 7.

Pretty much, yeah. He's hardly even a character and is more like a plot device, and a very lazily implemented one at that. Frankly, he lost any prestige or value in the story when Daimao killed his ass. Both him and the Dragon Balls stop being relevant as the series became more action-oriented; their only purpose became to just revive someone who died at the end of an arc. "Oh noes Krillin died again! Shenron can you revive him? Thanks. Bye Shenron!" Rinse and repeat every arc. Despite the fact that this series is called Dragon Ball, it's really just about Goku fighting. May as well just call it Goku, because he's the only one who matters. His quest for power is far more important than a set of balls.

He didn't defeat Freeza as he brought him back to milk the cash cow, no. You could say that Toriyama destroyed characters like Gohan, though. Although even that is a stretch because can you really destroy something that was never good?

Saiyan arc would have been hopeless without Shenron
If he weren't around Goku wouldn't have made it to the battle field to fight Vegeta

Freiza arc
Shenron not being around means he can't revive all of the namakians slain by Freiza
Cell arc
Without shenron Future Trunks would be dead and 18 and 17 would still have bombs inside of them

Buu arc
shenron wipes the earth people's memories of Majin buu

Super
Beerus arc
Shenron tells the cast about the super saiyan god and how to become one
Freiza arc
Shenron revives Freiza
Champa arc
Shenron reveals the location of the 7 Super Dragonball

Shenron played no part in the Goku Black arc
Shenron played no part in the Tournament of power arc
Broly
Saves Broly's life against Gogeta blue
SUPER HERO
Shenron awaken's Piccolo's potential like Grand Elder Guru did to Gohan and Krillin all those years again and because Piccolo is his creator he gave him a little extra because he's a good boy.

Shenron obviously matters and is a massive importance to the Dragonball series to say he's useless is insane, without Shenron the world be a total hell Future Trunks's future was completely fucked because the Pilaf gang fucked up and used him before the cast of the future could to get rid of the androids, Piccolo literally dies right after this stupid wish is made to the androids in west city along with Vegeta, Krillin, Tien,Chaotzu and Yamcha

But the Dragon Balls themselves are lame; they don't need to exist, either. There's a reason why the Pilaf arc was unpopular; no one gives a fuck about the Dragon Balls. Just focus on Goku training to become the strongest; only when the series made that the focus in the second arc did it become popular. You don't need seven balls for anything.
