Bardock is one of the most popular characters in all of Dragon Ball, despite how little he actually appears throughout the series. Not counting spin-offs like Super Dragon Ball Heroes, Bardock is almost never a main character. In the Dragon Ball manga, Dragon Ball Z, and both versions of Dragon Ball Super, he appears exclusively in minor flashbacks. Goku didn't even know Bardock existed for the longest time.
It's precisely this mystery that makes Bardock so compelling. Bardock is nothing more than a lower-class Saiyan, but that's what makes him special. The best Dragon Ball sagas and movies starring Bardock remember that he's not Goku, and use the opportunity to tell a story Akira Toriyama never could or would in the main series.
Episode of Bardock is a travesty. Set in an alternate universe where Frieza somehow sends Bardock back in time, the movie seeks to create a closed time loop where Bardock was actually the legendary Super Saiyan Frieza feared enough to destroy Planet Vegeta. Bardock barely acts like himself, taking a shine to a pathetically weak alien race he, by all accounts, would want to kill.
Bardock turning Super Saiyan doesn't feel triumphant, it just feels cheap. Chilled is one of the worst designed and written villains in the series, ultimately just making a mockery of Frieza's legacy. The most notable thing about Episode of Bardock is that it released at a time when there wasn't much in the way of new Dragon Ball content, but the series frankly is worse off for its existence.
The only reason Dragon Ball Minus isn't the single worst piece of Dragon Ball media ever made is only because Episode of Bardock exists. If anything, though, Dragon Ball Minus is kind of worse, since it was actually written by Akira Toriyama and serves as the epilogue to what is otherwise a fantastic manga (Jaco the Galactic Patrolman). The manga is essentially just the prologue of Dragon Ball Super: Broly, but with nothing that made it interesting.
To be clear, Dragon Ball Minus came out years before Toriyama wrote Broly and almost serves as a soft prototype for the film's opening sequence. As a standalone chapter, however, DBM just doesn't hold up. It's too short to make Goku's backstory emotional, too simple to give Bardock any good fights, and too rushed to do anything with Gine. At best, it's a footnote in Dragon Ball history that's better off ignored now that DBS: Broly exists.
It's still going to be a while before Dragon Ball Super 2 gets around to it, but the Granolah the Survivor Saga will officially bring Bardock back for his own mini-arc. The Granolah Saga focuses heavily on the Saiyans' violent past, framed through the lens of Granolah: the sole survivor of Planet Cereal's genocide. The manga reveals that this was Bardock's final mission before Planet Vegeta's destruction, but the recent birth of Goku made him instinctively protect Granolah.
