Woah, Superman is a metaphor of DB
Superman lore
Luis Thompson
Justin Taylor
Man, I knew that Toryama was a hack, but to just straight up copypaste Superman's origin for Goku is low even for him.
Jeremiah Cruz
Kryptonians = Saiyans = Viltrumites = probably others.
Cameron Rodriguez
Thing is: Invincible and DBZ put a spin on it to not make it a blatant rip-off.
Toryama then actually retconned Goku's origins to make him more of a Superman rip-off.
Sebastian Cox
All the sci fi saiyan bs is the most unnecessary aspect of goku's character
original dragon ball will always be superior because of that
Ethan Taylor
Bitch races gallifreyans are where it’s at.
Thomas Cruz
How would Bardock and Gine feel if they knew Goku was an unfeeling pyschopath who doesn't even know they exist?
Ayden Gray
Well Goku was sent to earth.
Superman was a baby they shot into space with no particular direction. It was literally okay he has a small chance he'll land on a habitable planet or he dies here. Let's roll them dice!
Jaxson Turner
A job well done?
Aren't all saiyans like that?
Vegeta is different but that's because he's supposed to be smart and even then he has to be pushed into caring rather than doing it naturally.
Noah Ward
>an unfeeling pyschopath
???
Julian Cooper
Wasn't Earth the nearest habitable planet with a Yellow Sun?
Kevin Price
You don't read Superman comics, do you?
John Hernandez
I think since he's a royal he's supposed to care for his children as they will take over. Look how King Vegata tried to kill Broly.
Caleb Morales
>A job well done?
Maybe back in the day, but the Broly movie retconned Bardock into being a chump and Gine is probably the nicest saiyan in existence.
Also Vegeta is a better husband and father than Goku.
Ethan Baker
Nope.
I mean I have read some, but nothing golden age.
Jose Phillips
He really doesn't give a shit about his wife and kids
Ayden Torres
it's a known fact Toriyama likes superman, he changed part of Goku's origin when man of steel came out
Jaxson Nelson
She needs to be revived ASAP
Ethan Rogers
He does care about his family, but his issue is he ranks them as the same level of care as his other friends, which is still below how much he loves training and fighting.
Jaxson Wright
He's also had sex at least twice in his life and he has no idea what kissing is
John Bell
So we just gonna pretend like Sups & Goku didnt get inspired by Moses?
Ok
Tyler Morris
Goku is monkey King
Zachary Torres
He did it on purpose. He doesn't give a fuck anymore. I'm expecting a crossover eventually, written by Morrison.
Hudson Phillips
The only thing the three of them have in common is that they aren't real
Colton Flores
I can't believe DC would so blatantly ripoff Dragon Ball like that
Toryama should sue
Christopher Cox
If we look at DBZA Funimation is more likely to sue
Wyatt Rogers
>"Don't forget us, Kakarot"
>He does and he'll never know them because Toriyama doesn't have the balls to bring them back in canon
Tragic
Caleb Russell
Benjamin Torres
>he has no idea what kissing is
You didn't get the bean joke?
Austin Rogers
I really don't like DBZ Abridged. It was only funny during the Namek arc and I completely tuned out once it started taking itself seriously.
Plus Team Four Star are a bunch of gatekeeping cucks
Bentley King
Well he was a baby. What memory would he actually have?
When Bulma finds him, isn't the man who raised him already dead but Goku can't understand that so he says his grandpa left or something.
Connor Lopez
Look at this Gladiator's ripoff. Plagiarizing Gladiator's powers, niceness, and life in a farm.
Brayden Phillips
Original Broly grew up to become a psycho because Goku kept crying next to him as a baby
Asher Ramirez
Look at this Ogon Bat ripoff. Plagiarizing Ogon Bat's powers, niceness, and secret fortress.
Jordan Moore
Moses was entirely fictional and plagiarized from Babylonian myths during the exile
the stories about a cast out orphan somehow surviving and achieving greatness are basically as old as any human record and likely exist to help people cope with the fact that before people had birth control, abortion or industrial technology, people often had to leave or abandon infants if they couldn't afford to take care of them, leaving them in the wood or set adrift in rivers
Kevin Wilson
Weren't the Saiyans going to Earth inspired by Superman 2? Or is that just a meme. I could see it.
The DBZ Anime made filler were Goku is just sent like any other Saiyan baby and Bardock didn't give a shit until he went through some shit and then wanted Goku to avenge his race. It was different. Don't think the manga even touched much on it.
Charles Foster
Goku got his dad's looks and his mom's personality plus added brain damage.
Lucas Smith
>Now everything will change. My fate, the fate of my son, and your fate too, Frieza!
Caleb Morgan
Toriyama admitted to being inspired by Superman so the "mere coincidence" angle doesn't fly. Besides Doc Savage is where the creators of Superman pulled their ideas from.
