If you ever paid any attention to the actual story and characters of Dragonball z you would know that Goku was a FIGHTER not a killer. He only wanted to test his limits against the strongest opponent. Every instance he always always always gave the villains a pass including ya boy Vegeta. So him catching bodies didnt mean he didn't beat his opponents. He dominated Freezer. He embarrassed Recome and Nappa. He was the only one. The only one who gave Buu some hurt.
Now you have Vegeta who is a killer. A stone cold killer. He has destroyed planets for a living. Now as far him and Freezer, he had no choice but to work for him. He knew he had no chance of beating freezer in the first place. He thought he became a super Sayian but he just became a super punching bag.
You idiots bring up things and have no clue about the characters of DBZ. All this Vegeta Sayian pride swag bullshyt don't mean nothing in the end. He admits that Goku is stronger than he is. It's over. Vegeta is second fiddle. Actually 3rd fiddle. (It's Goku then mystic Gohan then Vegeta)
People gotta understand that DBZ was written (and very badly btw) so that Goku is always the top dog no matter what.Even though Vegeta has more depth, more character, way more personality and determination that anyone else in the series.
Now I'm gunna try and brake it down so yall can understand.
DBZ has terrible written characters.
1. Goku is really stronger than most sayians for no real apparent reason. HE JUST IS...
2. Vegeta has many apparent reasons to be stronger than Goku. BUT HE JUST ISNT...
3. SSJ3... It was a stupid plot device power up that made no sense in the story at all. Akira just wanted some way to multiple Goku's power without the need to train for it so he could get higher in the ladder. The fact that Gotenks can do it almost instantly is proof of how stupid and meaningless that transformation is.
4. The less Sayian blood you have to a point means the more inherited strength you have....
- Now this would of made sense from a story progression standpoint but once again Akira makes goku and vegeta the strongest all the way until the end no matter how many kids or grandkids they have.
Now those are just a few points.
But what I'm trying to say is and this make break some hearts.
No matter how you try to logically explain these characters, the shyt just won't make sense from a logical standpoint.
Vegeta was written to take Ls. Period. Now you can try to make is seem like there was much more to vegeta than that.... but there wasn't.
Goku was written to get the W. Period. Whether the story made sense or not(more often not) that's how it was suppose to be in the end.
I think what we all see is the potential the characters had but the story never quite fulfilled that potential, so we feel the need to justify the characters actions because we long for a better representation of them.
Now I don't blame yall for trying to stick up for this character but lets be honest.
There no sense in trying to make sense of Akira's shytty writing.
