It truly was a Shawshank redemption Posts: 12,129 Group: Retired Staff Member #2,993 Joined: December 16, 2007 Gender Male Favourite Anime DBZ What Browser do you use?

I like the light humour that is input by Goku, Krillin and other characters, but they can also be serious when it matters. When Goku went SSJ after Krillin was killed, there wasn't any funny/clown personality to talk of and it was still enjoyable. When Gohan in his SSJ2 form destroyed Cell, and Goku died there wasn't any funny or clowny bits. Without the light-hearted characters and personalities the show wouldn't be the same, but it would still be enjoyable.

But I think it would have a negative effect on the show...there was too many badass serious characters (Vegeta, Piccolo, most of the villains). Also, Goku being a "clown" was good for the Goku/Vegeta relationship imo. Two super serious rivals staring each other down would of got boring.

Though it was okay in the original Dragonball.

His "comical personality" has always always felt a little too repetitive, predictable, and even slightly forced to me. I found the supporting characters funnier (Kuririn, Gotenks, Pilaf, Lunch, Bulma, etc). I may have actually liked him better, had he experienced a few "serious moments." I wouldn't want him to change completely, but a realistic trait once in a while(fear, doubt, etc) would have made him a more interesting protagonist in my opinion.
