Not at all. In the final chapters she and Gohan were just a happy, ordinarily married couple. In the manga they do not even fight crime together as super hero team (as a matter of fact only the few crime fighting moments while she was trying to find out about Gohan's identity were shown) so it is very like that Toriyama-san did not remember what Toei did with Son Gohan and Videl in the anime. It could always be added and for the anime Toei already does change some things that are not exactly like Toriyama-sans draft but they do not rewrite every single thing. Especially something like that that was shown anyway. At the end of vol. 42 they were all living in peace, Goku was training for Oob, he trained Pan. Goten was forced to train by Goku but often had an excuse. Really the only to remaining fighters in the final chapters were Goku and Vegeta. Boo, Trunks and Goten also fought in the tournament but Vegeta already implied that both, not only Goten, are softies. Heck, in GT Videl got exactly one scene as Great Saiyawoman and the Perfect Files say Gohan continued training - which he also does in Super - but of course they have no spotlight appearance compared to the protagonist and deuteragonist. Gohan never wanted to be a fighter and Videl just has no reason to show her serious side at this point in the story. It is also ridiculous how people think "not shown = lost" everytime in fiction.Originally Posted by Pumpkin
If anything is unfortunate then bringing Freeza back for no reason other than using him as punching bag and showing the characters have a weakness that should have been eliminated when Goku started training with Popo. But well, it is fiction.
