Kid Gohan and Goten were one of the best things about Buu Saga, different personalities and the whole kids drunk with power thing.

Is that a picture of King Kai driving? Are we going to get a remake of Piccolo learning to drive? Lol
Yeah but Goku is training to be a god, something he never wanted to be in the first place when Kami offered him godhood. What I'm thinking is that they're going to give some type of reason, like maybe Goku and Vegeta defeating a god from another universe or something. I mean, it makes sense and really the only plotline they need to explore in the series that would top the others.
Also, Vegeta has too much pride to train under someone. So obviously it isn't something he really desires to do outside of the desire to get stronger.

Golden Cell incoming.
Why should they reveal everything now? the series hasn't even started yet. I'm sure they will have lots of surprises.
Give it time, there are at least 100 episodes planned AFAIK.
I like the idea of having pretty much the old characters in the beginning and then later HOLY SHIT ADULT GOTEN!!!!!..... WOAH SSJ5 VEGETA!!!!! etc.

Oh yeah, I forgot, Beerus was asleep between BoG and RF, but he's shown as being awake in the trailer, so something is up with this preview, I feel like we are missing crucial context.
No, Goku didn't want to be "God of Earth" because it would mean sitting at the lookout all day.

Toriyama just forgot that half breeds grow like regular humans. Relax guys. I'm hyped!

Because they always want to get stronger, that's like the whole point of their characters.

Battle of Gods doesn't show them leaving to train with Beerus and Whis though. The movie just ends with everyone back at the party. They just were already training and with the blue SSJ forms by RoF. This show could start before they leave to train with them.

This is after RoF guys. A new enemy was mentioned as being stronger than Freeza in the announcement of Super and there's no way they were talking about Namek Freeza. Not to mention Beerus was asleep following BoGs.
It's entirely possible Goku can use both regular SSJ and SSJGSSJ.

I'm guessing it's possibly a quick recap of the events post-Buu. Someone pointed out that the scarf-costume was seen in the "Yo! Goku and Friends Return!" special.
As for Goten and Trunks, Cell-saga Gohan's height seemed to be all over the place, so it could just be AT sucks at drawing the difference - compare the Gohan from Trunk's arrival to the Androids - there's supposed to be a 2 year gap but he's still a midget. In the Hyperbolic Time Chamber he's still rather small. When he comes out 1 year/1 day after he's finally a bit taller.
Goten and Trunks are probably pre-teens during Super. Who knows, they might have an arc about the two growing.

Starting earlier in the timeline than I expected.
Some off model shots but the teaser was short.

Perhaps. Either way, Vegeta willingly allowing someone to master over him is completely out of character unless it's out of necessity.

He had to wake up at some point considering how he knows that Whis is training Goku and Vegeta in RoF.
So far, that name has only been used in magazines though, while in the movie it was just called "SSJ". It'd be kind of odd to switch between them like that.

Vegeta'a proven more than enough that he's finally discarded his insane pride, the man sung and danced on stage for his family, training under someone else is just another sign of his character growth.

yo... characters change... i know... take that in... i've heard they call it character development....
he's still very much vegeta though.
Again that was out of necessity though not because he just wanted to do it for shits and giggles.
Character development by and large does not exist in Dragonball.
Dragonball is a marketing giant and part of what people love about Vegeta is his independent nature and desire to attain things by himself. I highly doubt that's going to change, even if he's softened up a bit and became a better father to Trunks.

He didn't know Whis was training them in RoF. He actually asked Goku how they got there (to his planet). So RoF was the first time he woke up after going to sleep in BoGs.
I don't see what's odd about it at all. It doesn't look like he'd need his full power in the scene we saw him use his regular ssj transformation. In RoF he specifically said the blue ssj form is using ssj with the power of ssjg, so it's possible he just didn't use the god power when transforming in that scene.

Vegeta isn't the man he used to be...
Dude should just cut his losses, take a ship, blow up Earth with everyone on it and just think he was taking a break for a decade or so. Dude tried being a father, a husband, took the best Earth had to offer and it ended up being total shit.
Trunks ends up much better in the alternate timeline when Vegets dies, that says a lot. And let's not even start with bad arse alternate timeline Gohan vs Bitch Gohan when Goku lives. Goku and Vegeta provided the sperms, they aren't fit to do anything else.
To give Krillin a happy ending.
Goku at 15:
Just saying
Toriyama doesn't seem the best at ages
12, it's later relieved that Goku counted wrong.

Goku: 'Ok bye guys I'm off to train with this immortal God cat that was so strong I had to ascend to godhood just to not immediately die.'
Vegeta: 'huh, the last times kakarot trained with a god he learned the only techniques that allowed him to beat me, and the second time went ssj3, which I still can't do. Since I've acknowledged he's better than me, maybe I better suck it up and learn to wax on and wax off'
There!

Dude one of the most unique things about Vegeta in DBZ is that he's one of the few characters to go through real growth throughout the show. You think Cell saga Vegeta would have got up on stage and danced? He didn't give a shit when his son and wife almost died in plane crash.
Vegeta has progressed to the point he can easily admit and accept that even his once most hated rival is stronger than him. He completely respects and fears Beerus'power, it would be even more so of Whis who's stronger. It's completely in character that the current Vegeta would choose to train under such a powerful being.
That was beyond uninteresting. Shouldn't have even bothered to release it.

I guess they're the keys to alternate universes?
Dunno.
This takes place after RoF right? Which takes place after BoG, which is after the Buu saga?

They're good characters, strong and important as well as being liked by fans...
Two of the strongest dude , they are here to say
Sure, but teasers can be pretty bad too.
I'm not saying they need to show every new character in the series or whatever. But there's quite literally nothing in there that shows how this new series is going to differentiate itself from its predecessors (aside from Goku's new clothes, and I'm being quite generous).

Power equates to relevancy in DB. Beerus and Whis are the two strongest characters in the verse.
I don't in anyway mind either as I enjoy them.

Goku went Super Saiyan in the teaser, so I think this is actually pre-RoF
Because they're the best antagonist the series had in a while. They're the strongest dudes, and they're probably gonna be important for whatever conflict this series will have.
So is the blue ssj like ultimate gohan where he can't go super sayian.

I just think having Beerus and Whis, the two strongest things in the universe, just takes away from it. Oh no a big bad guy is coming, get catman and robin to fight them while half asleep with their arms behind their back using only their pinkie toe.
I've only seen Battle of Gods where Beerus was an antagonist so dunno how he's handled in RoF but having super overpowered people on your side seems boring. Same with super god Vegeta and Goku. They are super duper powerful and even if the next threat is more powerful than gold Freeza then it's either Goku and Vegeta against it or Beerus and Whis helping, none of the other characters could even come close. Just seems to me like it'll be the Goku and Vegeta power half hour each and every episode (apart from filler where Trunks steals his mum's car and gets himself and Goten into trouble while trying to impress Mai).

I liked Battle of Gods. The dancing scene was gold.

Thinks buying more servers can fix a bad patch
You are misinterpreting things. Goku doesnt want to assume the duty of god (Kami), in the sense of overlooking for everything on Earth on the tower
He is training under whis purely for the god power that's all, not to become a god.

Well Blue SSJ is just the SSJ version of God form, which has red hair and is a base form.
