[up]Then he left her to raise the kid on her own while Sasuke went off on adventures.

Ok, who let Light Yagami in here?

Damn, what a prick.

And he's more or less the Vegeta of the cast?

[up][up] He's a failed attempt at cloning Vegeta that missed what made Vegeta appealing, essentially.

The writer said he felt like Naruto needed a rival. So he just looked at every rival character ever and put all of their tropes into one character.

More like a generic mishmash of rival traits that looks like an imitation of Vegeta because a lot of those traits started with (or are at least heavily associated with) him.

If Sasuke isn't appealing, why is he so popular?

Kishimoto develops abusive relationships, but at least they develop. Toriyama had nothing.

I think I would rather have no development to okay relationships than bad development for bad relationships.

And Tori did an okay job with Gohan and Videl.

Of course he's appealing to a lot of people. There's no denying that.

Hamburger: So he isn't appealing, yet appeals to people. Got it.

I mean, if you want to say Sasuke is a badly written character in a badly written plot, that's fine and true. It's simply not true that he's unpopular, unappealing or anything like universally disliked.

Not appealing to us is all we every meant by that. No one here will deny that Sasuke is popular, but we can pick apart why that is.

Sasuke isn't appealing in the same way Vegeta is appealing.

Vegeta is hilarious.

Sasuke isn't except when he's twirling his mustache and trying to make us take him seriously.

^^ That's not what people are saying though. He was described as a failed attempt to create a popular character like Vegeta, but he's not.

Besides, I wouldn't call him a Vegeta clone anyway.

More of a Hiei or Killua clone, mostly.

[up][up]That's fair. I don't think Sasuke is a "failed" Vegeta clone either, just a badly written character in general.

Except Hiei was at least trustworthy enough that you knew he wouldn't backstab you before whatever job he's helping you with is over.

Sasuke can and will betray you the very second he thinks he doesn't need you anymore.

Anyway, Sasuke is certainly popular, with both boys and girls, and in both sides, it's the same reason. Wish fulfilment, mostly.

So how about that Dragon Ball? Want to talk about how power levels are bullshit or the humans got shafted or how Yamcha sucks?

Actually, I have a new one, was anyone ever bothered by how Gohan going all "hidden potential mode" usually didn't amount to anything?
