Okay, I know the superman vs goku fight Screwattack released is super old, but I just don't like how they portrayed goku as just this fight hungry idiot that only spares his enemies because he "wants them to get stronger so he can fight them again"

They clearly either didn't do that much research or were just kind of biased towards Goku. Now don't get me wrong, I don't think Goku could ever hope of defeating Superman in a no holds barred fight, but to completely misrepresent his character just triggers my autism.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERvrC1r1ako
Here you can clearly see that Goku says that he spared Frieza hoping he would change from his evil ways, not because he wanted to fucking fight him again in the future.
Okay rant over.

>>90075203
Theyre superman fanboys, they just need to stop posting videos about it because theyre going to use a superman that doesnt exist to prove their point. Its just like the scout vs tacer video, except with more fanboyism.
>>
>>90075203
People just don't understand Superman is the original overpowered OC. It's not that Goku isn't immensely strong, it's that Superman is unfairly OP and can only be beaten by green rocks.

Goku risked earth to fight beerus.
>>
>>90075275
Im pretty sure unless beerus was stopped by someone, he was going to destroy the earth any way.
>>
>>90075275
He didnt risk earth to fight him, earth was at risk because beerus showed up and didnt get what he wanted.
>>
I wish there were more to goku but sadly that's pretty much it.
I'm not sure how the original dub portrayed him but this is how the west gave goku a layer of humanity. Honestly it's kinda cool how they handled his character.Sadly that's not the original vision for goku so a fight crazy maniac it shall be i guess.
>>
>>90075254
Superman didn't became overpowered until the silver age when they started giving him new powers in every single issue. Golden age Superman only had super strength until the Fleischer cartoon gave him flight and a significant boost in strength.

It is the canon interpretation. Look at Super: Goku is willing to kill off entire universes for the sake of a good fight.

Beerus vs Superman, who wins?

That still makes Goku really stupid.

I don't know too much about Supes, but Goku really isn't a good character, even within the context of his own series.
>>
>>90075860
Its not much different from Supes sparing all his villains thinking that there is atleast some good in them.
>>
>>90075860
that's pretty much retconned into. "If you weren't a bad guy, you would've become a great rival" during RoF
>>
>>90075366
Actually Toriyama said Goku was never mean to be a hero, the guy is fighting warrior with no other desire, they even said that as his core Goku is more saiyan than Vegeta because his endless lust for combat
>>
>>90075203
>but I just don't like how they portrayed goku as just this fight hungry idiot that only spares his enemies because he "wants them to get stronger so he can fight them again"

But this is exactly what Goku is like. Have you been watching Super? He's done it again but this time he disobeyed the God of Destruction from his universe (who could destroy earth with a single attack AND who has the authority to do so with none of the Kaios being allowed to say anything about it) and went to the King of All (basically the God of all the universes, a child like being who can destroy universes at a whim) to remind him of an inter-universe tournament he offhandedly said he'd like to see, despite being warned several times of the consequences, and now it's a tournament bracket thing where the loser gets his entire universe destroyed, and all Goku is saying now is "Well at least I get to fight strong guys"

Heroic justice loving family man Goku was a dub thing.

(I still think Goku should be able to beat Superman easily, though).
>>
>>90075203
>but to completely misrepresent his character just triggers my autism
What character?
What is there to Goku, and why are you offended for his character?
You know how he turned into a kid in GT and it didn't really feel super weird? It kind of highlights how there's nothing to him and he hasn't changed since he was a kid.

The single moment where Majin Vegeta describes his turning back to evil as kind of a midlife-crisis-like event is loads more interesting than anything Goku's character had to offer.

>>90075203
>this shit discussion again

Let's change the subject:

Who makes a better Waifu? R63 Superman or Goku?
>>
>>90075203
Goku's character is based solely on fighting. The reason he's portrayed as a good guy at all isn't because he has any intentions of saving the world, but because he enjoys fighting and getting stronger, and it just so happens that most of his opponents are obligatory evils. He's pure of heart because follows an absolute warrior code, where everyone should be given an equal opportunity to fight on fair ground, rather than making them atone for past sins.

The Frieza fight in particular is the pinnacle definition of his character. He doesn't care that Frieza committed genocide against the Namekians. He doesn't even care that Frieza committed genocide against the Saiyans, his own bloodline. The only time he legitimately loses it is when Frieza unfairly kills Krillin, a regular human so far below his own power level it's like shooting a baby in the face.

All Goku cares about and has ever cared about is fighting, because that's his nature. Whether that's good or bad or anything is irrelevant, because he's overstayed his welcome in terms of manga and anime, but that's all Goku boils down to.
>>
>>90076122

Is this what qualifies as r63 nowadays?
>>
Anyone have the screencap from the first episode of multiverse arc were they make parallels between Goku and Raditz?
>>
>>90076047

Like that page mentions, he did that with Piccolo as well and technically did so with Kid Buu much later on.
>>
>>90076475
Nah piccolo was a different case,he didn't want to kill Kami,his main goal unlike the rest of the cast wasn't to stop evil from rising again but to just win the tournament because that's what goku is,this whole "Ally to GUD!1!" Meme needs to die though.
>>
>>90075203
Not doing it that one time with Frieza doesn't mean he didn't do it other times. Just look what he did with Buu.

>>90075243
Ha, no. They love DBZ and Boomstick hates Superman.

Siegel and Shuster actually gradually built him up through the golden age. The famous pic of him filming a nuclear explosion while flying was from their original run.

>>90076772
>>90075894
Goku does it because he wants to fight. Superman does it because his morality ranges from really good guy to bodhisattva.

Superman can also imprison his enemies on alien planets/phantom zone/ green lantern bubble floating out in space. Goku was fine letting dangerous planet destroying tyrants go free and get stronger so he can have the selfish thrill of fighting them again.

>>90075990
>The single moment where Majin Vegeta describes his turning back to evil as a kind of midlife-crisis like event is loads more interesting than anything Goku's character had to offer

It's almost a rule in Shonnen that the supporting cast is infinitely more interesting than the main character. Vegeta, Piccolo, Gohan, Krillen, they're all so much better than Goku.
>>
>>90076055
People don't get how fucking awesome that feat was because they don't get the context.

He didn't just lift infinity. He lifted infinity plus. He lifted an internal representation of not only the multiverse but hat contained the multiverse.

He lifted Monitor-Mind. He lifted Nirvana.
>>
>>90076980
And yet it's ignored later on
>>
>>90077045
Not really. It was reflected in macrocosm when he was transformed into Thought-Robot.

Morrison is big on "as below so as above".

He also drank raw bleed, something the Monitors said was impossible, and used it to save Lois.

Then he killed a New God powerful enough that the gravity of his death was destroying the multiverse by singing-and it wasn't with the miracle machine like some say, it wasn't powered up yet. It only turns on and summons Nix Uotan when powers it up later when Mandrakk shows up again.

Final Crisis was a parade of Morrison writing a really powerful Superman.

It really shows how casual they are when they think Goku, master of fight autism, is a more grounded everyman character than Superman, the guy that started an archtype by showing an all-poweful god that valued conformity, meekness, and human interaction.

They thought a guy who makes a habit out of endangering others for the hedonistic thrill of combat is more relateable than a guy who holds a 9-5 job and pines after the hot babe in the office.

>Superman killed Darksied with his voice

DeathBattle would have redeemed themselves if they had Superman kill Goku by singing Head-Cha-La.

That would have set the internet on fire and it would have been AWESOME.
>>
>>90075365
he's currently risking the universe for a world tournament, though I know it's not fair because he didn't know the king of all was going to place high stakes on the fights.

Also they are making Goku a literal retard for some reason. I hope the english dub fixes at least half of this.
>>
>>90077259
He also saved the omniverse by vibrating in Joe Casey's run. Even Mr. Mxypitliz said it was impressive.

But that's true. He's a nice enough guy sure but really all he cares about is strength if only to protect his planet.
>>
>>90075203
My complaint is how they LITERALLY HALFED GOKU'S SPEED FOR SSJ1 TO NOT MAKE HIM FASTER THAN SUPERMAN.
Like for fucks sake, by their bullshit scaling Goku is almost 20 times faster than Superman but they decided to half his speed for SSJ1 And make SSJ2 EXACTLY the same as base.
Screwattacks research is always really shit, See the Bayo vs Dante.
>>
dbz fans have grown up their entire lives believing Goku was the strongest and unbeatable so when Screw Attack brings them back to reality and shows them there are people out there stronger then their childhood hero, of course they can't accept it.
>>
>>90079086
Kid, Superman has races with the flash. Goku couldn't dream of doing that shit.
>>
>>90079510
Pre DBS Goku could/would lose to supes.
But they downplayed both super hard.
Goku more so as >>90079086 pointed out.
They also do shit like using Travel speed for combat speed and refuse to use any "power scaling"
>>
>>90079538
My point isn't if he's faster or not, My point is they literally fucked with their own "scale" to make Goku slower than he's supposed to be. According to their "calculations" Goku would be much faster than supes if they didn't fuck with their own fucking scale.

>Characters I forgot to add include The Great Evil Beast, Michael, Oblivion, Adam Warlock, The Beyonder, Giorno Giovanna, Enrico Pucci and a whole heap of Saint Seiya and Stephan King characters. Infact there are enough to make at least one other video.

>>
>>90079790
Oh yeah definitely.
I think he should also take out Godzilla IMO.

In the same way Supes was put into a coma by Doomsday. Unless you missed that beating be relieved from Frieza before.

Goku is an alien with a simple dream and goal like most people: to be the best at something.

>>90080122
Don't bother. Most people who say he wasn't that retarded only watched the dub of Z.
>>
>>90078666
I actually feel the exact opposite on this page. Superman singing Darkseid to death doesn't sound very cool, but in context it was awesome as fuck.
>>
>>90080171
He's an immigrant trying to balance home and heritage.
>>
>>90079985
The dub tried making him more like Superman.

Goku under Toriyama is NOT a hero. He's pure-spirited, but that is NOT the same.

>>90080019
Not really. 90's Superman was weak as fuck. In his fight with Doomsday he's hurt by an exploding gas station.

The thing is most Superman under most writers would lose to Goku, but the high end Grant Morrison/Joe Casey Supermen would bitchslap Goku because those Supermen's stories aren't about physical challenges.

You have to specify who is writing Superman for the fight. I don't think Grant Morrison Superman CAN lose. Like I think his "greatest story from the germ worlds" thing implies he will always win no matter the odds.

>>90080039
I'm just saying what Deathbattle said. They honestly believed that Goku was more relateable because Goku "has to work" to be powerful.

Did I mention "Boomstick" keeps a Goku plushie?

>>90080046
John Byrne Superman killed. Joe Casey Superman was a self-proclaimed pacifist. Grant Morrison Superman is a saint who in an alternate time line killed himself after killing an out of control Doomsday Lois (his JLA run). Alan Moore Superman was capable of killing as a last resort but gave up being Superman because of it.

Siegel and Shuster Superman killed gangster and soldiers but tried to avoid it if possible. Otto Binder Silver Age Superman had a hard rule against killing.

Yes, there are Supermen that kill. But generally it's not something most of them do, or at least something they take very seriously.
>>
>>90075254
Captain Marvel was an overpowered superhero before Superman was.

DC made Superman more like Captain Marvel in response.
>>
>>90078666
Comic books have bad art, more at 11
>>
>>90080300
It was less that and more they recruited Otto Binder (the guy that wrote a lot of Captain Marvel stories) to write Superman and he cranked up the power levels. You have to remember under him came the Fortress of Solitude, Supergirl, Kandor, Brainiac, lot of Superman lore.

Superman is a Kryptonian who came to Earth and finds a balance between being man and super, human and Kryptonian. In the Silver Age he tended more toward being Kyptonian, in the modern age more human, but he always tried to a son of both worlds.

Compare that to Goku. Goku is a Saiyan who came to Earth and became a good Saiyan. You can tell his thought processes are different than humans. He never really assimilated like Superman. He never really joined the human race.
>>
>>90075203
OP, did you actually read the manga? Or watch something other than the original Filmation dub?

Goku is kind of a dick. Toriyama was actually mad when they made him more heroic in the anime since Goku is supposed to be a wuxia style protagonist and not the typical full on friendship hero.
>>
>I just don't like how they portrayed goku as just this fight hungry idiot that only spares his enemies because he "wants them to get stronger so he can fight them again"

What if Goku had the intellect of Superman?
>>
I wish screw attack would stop with these mismatches already.
For a series called deathbattle they never have the characters try to kill each other hard enough for my tastes.
Like goku for instance has hardly killed anybody and believes in giving second chances to mass murderers for the sake of sport. The exception being really bad people like cell and kid buu.
While superman doesnt always want to kill. He will kill without hesitation.

If this fight wasnt so pandering to one side it'd be over in an instant with goku just using instant transmiition to just break supermans neck at the first chance. Or supeman just breaking gokus arms and legs before vaporizing him. Whats the point of dragging a 5 minute unentertaining fight out when its clear who would actually kill the other almost immediately should the situation occur.

Yes

>Use one often debunked scene form the worst arc of DBZ to describe Goku's powerlevel

I didn't care before I watched the video, but the fanboyism was just disgustingly apparent. Now I'm genuinely mad forever.

Goku has no weaknesses and can read minds, he could just put some kryptonite in his fingernails or blow up the sun. Only under extremely specific conditions would Supes even stand a chance.

Both vastly out of power and the second would kill Goku and not Superman as Goku would suffocate and Superman has been shown surviving the destruction of stars.

Adaptational Heroism

>According to Toriyama this holds true even for the original Japanese anime. He was dissatisfied by the “righteous hero”-type portrayal the anime gave him. In the manga, Goku is supposed to be depicted as someone who doesn't fight for others, but fights for himself to get stronger. He wanted to depict someone who isn't a classic hero and can even be seen as not being a good person because of his selfish desire (a little bit of poison that sneaks through his character as Toriyama puts it).
>However, even going purely off the manga, this depiction of Goku is lost in translation since most of Goku's motives still nonetheless pertain to protecting or avenging his family and friends, and he does help people he barely knows when it didn't completely relate to fighting; like storming Muscle Tower to repay Suno for saving him from freezing to death and avenging Upa's father who was murdered by Tao before taking down the Red Ribbon Army, and getting the Dragon Balls to revive him. He wanted to fight the Saiyans not because they were powerful, but because they were going to murder everyone he knew. He didn't want to help fight Buu, despite having the power to do so, because he didn't want his friends to depend on him to save them, which if he was completely selfish he wouldn't care and fight Buu for the sake of having a good battle. It could be said that Toriyama's original intentions for Goku ended up evolving into something slightly different as Character Development took over. Basically, Goku is a hero who at his core has a good, kind heart that cares for others and wants to protect them, but he also has selfish personal motives that can override his better judgement.

>>
>>90084116
Thats what i mean. Why have goku in a deathbattle situation in the first place if he isnt willing to kill like that? Shits pointless. Almost as pointless as having cammy fight sonya. When cammy doesnt even use lethal force like her.

All characters have their personality removed when it comes to killing in Death Battle. It's why Spider-Man kicked his way through a webbed up Batman's chest and why Wargreymon incinerated a 12 year old and his pet dragon.

Does this mean we're essentially dealing with murder-puppets with the characters' powersets instead of the actual characters themselves? Yes.

>>
>>90085223
Let's look at the threats of Morrison's JLA run:

1.Hyperclan arc. White Martians. Essentially a team of Superman+ clones.

2. Heaven arc. Superman sends the first part shoving the moon back while a demon prince shoves it to the Earth with magic and the second part wrestling evenly with an angel general. Angels are strong as fuck in DC, look at Spectre.

3.The Key arc. The Key ambushes the JLA with psychic hax and traps them into dreams banking on the fact that the JLA always win, even in dreams, to solve a problem for him.

4.Rock of Ages arc: Lex Luthor makes a bomb to destroy him and Martian Manhunter while they're trapped in a space station psychic illusions created by The Joker. They then stomp his Injustice Gang flat. Batman buys out Lexcorp. In an alternate future he kills himself over grief after killing a Doomsday Lois Lane.

5.Prometheus arc. Prometheus plan is to force Superman to kill himself or he'll execute hostages. We never get to see what Superman does because he's blindsided by Catwoman proving that he can't prepare for everything. Given that other League members were able to get out of his traps his plan against Superman probably wouldn't have worked.

6.Adam Strange arc. The League is kidnapped and made into space slaves by mind hax.

7.Starro Arc. The League is trapped in the Dream portion of the godsphere by a Starro so powerful he swatted Orion. They work with Daniel-Dream to defeat it.

8. Ultramarines Arc. Superman was never really threatened. The arc was about the philosophy of government sponsored superteams, not combat.

9.Crisis Times Five arc. The enemy is a 5D imp so powerful he kicked Spectre's ass.

10. World War 3 arc. The enemy is a giant death-weapon made of anti-sunlight that killed the gods of the 3rd world. Superman ate him.
>>
>>90085223
>>90085665
So generally Anon the answer is:

1. The story isn't always about whether something stands a chance against Superman (Ultramarines, Tomorrow Woman one-shot, Prometheus)

2. Mindhax (The Key, Adam Strange)

3. The enemy is just as powerful if not more so than Superman (White Martians, Angels, Starro, 5D imps, Mageddon)
>>
>>90082931
How does his origin affect the fact he isn't a hero in the traditional sense?
>>
>>90084557
That doesn't take away the fact that he is selfish. After he let Vegeta go, Vegeta recovered and murdered dozens of innocent namekians in the most brutal way.
>>
>>90075203
That was the Dub though, Goku has always been a bit of a Sociopath obsessed with fighting strong opponents, you are just tainted by the Dub.
>>
>>90076980
>>90076055
Didn't he have the help of Captain Marvel/Shazam?
>>
>>90087963
>Didn't he have the help

Yes. But consider that half of infinity is infinity and that Ultraman who is said several times in the story to be just Superman but evil is able to lift it above his head.
>>
>>90088080
Isn't Infinity just a amount of something that is impossible to count? half of Infinity while still Infinity would be half the infinity that people claims it to be.
>>
>>90088232
Well now we're getting pretty abstract aren't we?

But it was clear Superman was doing most of the work-whatever that would be-because Captain Marvel was the only one complaining about the strain and the only one that got fucked up by lifting it (he got turned back into Billy and couldn't remember Shazam for awhile).

And of course Ultraman, literally just Superman but evil, was able to lift it.
>>
>>90075842
Goku was always that way, In Dragon Ball when he first fights piccolo Jr. he wins by just the slightest margin and then he revives Jr so he can get stronger and put up a better fight next time the guy just wants the next battle he's not looking for anything serious just a better ight
>>
>>90075203
but being a fight hungry idiot is Goku's entire existence. His allys make a constant point of it and he even stays dead because he attracts strong people. Hell, he's even sentenced every universe's existence to extermination just so he can have a good fight.

Given that their main argument is that Superman has unlimited power because of that one scene from S:TAS, it probably would have made more sense to pit Superman vs Broly, since the latter's power is maximum. Or Superman vs Saitama, since Saitama's broken his limits as well.

Seriously though, their main point was that Superman's potential was unlimited. Even in the rematch with a Goku who was supposedly near universe busting.

What was the floor made of to be able to withstand the infinite force of Superman and co lifting infinity on it (for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction)?

I hate what Dragon Ball has become.
Once it was a funny story about a boy with a tale going on silly adventures with his friends to collect magic balls to grant their wishes.

Now it's all just power levels and boring fight scenes that go nowhere.
I blame Toriyama for pandering to you faggots.
>>
>>90097486

The silly Adventures almost got him cancelled.

The Silly training for the tournament thing was what put Goku on the map. It was at that time when Krillin was introduced too.
>>
>>90097486
The Pilaf saga was basically Chinese Adventure Dr. Slump. A majority of it is sex and poop jokes with sleazy characters, and Goku is a more grounded male Arale.

The series hit its stride with the Tenkaichi Budokai and the Red Ribbon Army. I'd argue the series still retained a sense of adventure until the very end of Namek, it's really with Cell and Buu where the focus becomes centered completely around stopping a single villain while dicking around Kami's Lookout.

Goku's been starved for tough opponents and it's driving him stircrazy

He's got Vegeta
Training with Whis which isn't fun but neccessary
And maybe a fight with Beerus that may destroy the universe if they fight wrong

Piccolo doesn't want to spar
Gohan's not a workout
Krillan's weak
Goten and Trunks aren't worth sparring

After years of not having fun and knowing about the multiverse and seeing Hit it's no wonder that Goku would be excited at checking out what the multiverse can offer.

Also it's not like the Zens wouldn't have remembered eventually, Goku introducing future zen to present zen just delayed the inevitable.

He's not directly responsible, no one even knows what prompted then zens to want to destroy the losers, since they probably didn't come to it on their own.

What are you talking about? Goku never cared about Gohan's studies the closest thing you have is I think the Cooler or Turles movie where he tells him to finish so they can go camping.
Even then Chi Chi thought Goku was going insane because it was so out of character for him to care.
