What is it about Goku that's upsetting or off-putting in Super? I don't think it's any secret that a lot of people take issue with how Goku is portrayed in Super. For me, it's the fact he's essentially just a caricature of himself. He seems to have regressed as a character in other words. Toward the latter portion of the series, Goku started to have more of an interest in building others up than himself, and he didn't have a problem with spending time with his family and friends. Nor was he super obnoxious and giddy like he always is in Super. |

Toei just went overboard on the whole "cares about nothing but fighting" thing. Though to be fair even in the manga Goku got more and more like that as the series went on. |

He's turned into Vegeta around the time of the Cell Saga. That would be fine, except that he's the main character and no one(nor the story) gives him s*** over acting like a douche. Cell Saga Vegeta got his a*** handed to him and his pride smashed in for his mistakes, Goku doesn't. Oh yeah, there is also the fact that he's kind of a jerk. His disparaging comments towards Gohan for not keeping up on his training are excessively douchy. |

Why? Gohan being shafted is a massive writing flub, but in-universe, Goku just comes off as an awful parent who is annoyed that their kid dared to not be a meat-headed gorilla like him. |

What's even more baffling is he was totally fine with Gohan growing up to become a scholar. Edited by breaker335, Jul 10 2016, 12:37 AM.

Right before the tournament he goes on about how "Gohan can't even find his gi" and makes a few other rather rude comments about Gohan. |

It may seem like a personal thing but I'd say most people will agree with me: This Goku is not likeable. He makes awful decisions, threatens everyone he loves just because and the way he treats his son in Super makes his decision during the Cell Games look like best parent of the year material in comparison. Goku isn't really one of my favourites but I've always liked him. During DB and most of Z, he was either really badass or really fun to watch. Super's depiction of Goku is neither of those things, he's just an idiot, probably on par with how stupid they make him out to be in DB Abridged. |
Piccolo: Just how many people have you sacrificed?! Cell: Sacrifice? Hmph, rubbish! On the contrary, it is an honor to become a fraction of my power. | |

Would've thought that Piccolo drilling the fact that Gohan isn't like Goku into Goku's head meant something, but Goku still ends up disappointed that Gohan doesn't dedicate himself to training and, instead, devotes himself to becoming a scholar and a productive member of society. |

If my son was not making use of his talents, I would be disappointed, too. |

It's absurd though, Goku's only reasoning for even making Gohan and the kids be heroes was because he wouldn't be around to save them due to being dead. But now that he's alive, that excuse flies out the window. |

It seems out of character for Goku. But I only said that because I don't like Gohan. I like it when he gets owned by other characters and appears weak. He's an overrated character and it's about time he got some crap handed to him. Idk maybe it's just me hating Gohan all of these years and he finally gets treated like crap. I have a feeling he might have an uprising in power though, I hope not. |
