Dragon Ball Z Would you have changed anything in the Saiyan Saga?

When it comes to the Saiyan Saga, would you have changed anything at all in it?

I think back having watched this part of Dragon Ball Z the most and I don't think I would have changed anything. There was a decent progression with the story being told. The points were made clear, there were strong battles, and the end result was Goku being Goku showing someone who wanted him dead compassion. The introduction of Vegeta was done really well too. I know some people have said that they wished Raditz would have lived given that he was blood-related to Goku but I am not sure what they could have done with him at that point.

Both Raditz and Nappa should have survived somehow. Toriyama didn’t plan anything after Freeza though, so I don’t blame him.

Would have made Radditz stronger than Saibamen, had Nappa and him live through the saga at least for the Namek encounters, and I'd have had something other than "a wild Yajirobe appears!" to cut Vegeta's tail off. Granted, everyone else was wiped out, so who knows what they could have done differently, but Yajirobe just felt so...out of place there.

Raditz is stronger than the Saibamen. He was stated to rival them in power. The Saibamen are 1,200 while Raditz is like 1,250-1,350.

Raditz dying without any character development or anything.
