I disliked GT mostly, but I thought Vegeta was one of the best parts of it. It just pleased me a lot to see him so radically changed by sitting around raising a family in peace without constant battles and shit for over a decade. It just makes a lot of sense I guess, it was an oddly real-world-ish touch for Dragon Ball - reminded me a bit of a great-uncle of mine who was in the army and in combat when he was young.

Well there was also some other dumb stuff with his character I guess (though I sometimes forget that given all the other stupid stuff in GT), but the dad-ification made me laugh in a very warm-heart-cockles way.

Dad-ification is an iffy trope because it really doesn't work for some characters, but for Vegeta I loved it, because for him it was growth and happiness, not stagnation and conformity. Not that I didn't love his villainy and selfishness, but I loved them as temporary stages, not a permanent state of affairs he was forever trapped in. And since he remained very recognizably dickish and arrogant and crazy I was totally okay with him getting soft otherwise, since GT supposedly came after years of peace.
