Is he? Bulma is great. 18 is fine, not that interesting but fine.

Not what I would say about Namek. The entire arc revolves around reviving everyone. Even at the end they are struggling with practical considerations like "we can't revive Goku on Namek because there's no Namek".

Namek is probably one of the arcs with the most substance I would say. It's certainly not without any mechanical inconsistencies (why the fuck is Piccolo coming to Namek after one month at Kaio's instead of teleporting everyone to Earth instead?) but generally speaking it has strong drama, interactions, interesting setups between multiple sides, and it's one hell of a buildup to the finale.

Now Cell, yeah I would agree. Only saved by its strong finale. But Namek deserves respect
