It is the EXACT SAME SITUATION.
You're making some borderline gibberish defensive comments. Like comparing two utterly incomparable things to just saying everyone who doesn't like it is a teenager.
Stop while you're ahead.

Dr. Flappe was the creator of Android 8 prior to Dr. Gero being created just like how Goku wasn't a complete rip-off of Superman prior to Minus being written.
I would argue that it's false equivalence, but I get the logic.

That would be the reverse of what happened...

Yes they are, Batman for one only ended up the person he is because of his origin.
Goku was born the runt of the litter, basically unloved & unwanted for being weak, & when sent to the Earth where he could die their reaction was "Eh something good will come out of it".
That's what makes it special for him to reject his Saiyan heritage, he's rejecting the right bastards who never did anything for him, especially his asshole dad.

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."Except he didn't know about his heritage until one decided to show up and force him to do something bad.
He rejected his heritage because of that, not because of what happened to him.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.Larkmarn, you are getting me wrong.
The teenager parallel was to people getting angered at Bardock "suddenly" not being canon, and therefore being wrong (well, mostly was a response to this comment
). I never said "disliking the change means you are a teenager".
slimcoder, you are reading too much into a shonen series whose author made up as he went, while forgetting about characters.
Bardock was always filler. Trying to base the meaning of Dragon Ball onto a piece of filler will backfire sooner or later.
Having genetic traits is irrelevant to the idea of accepting his heritage.
He doesn't accept the things he's told about how saiya-jins act or what they do.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.Uh, they were gonna use Minus stuff regardless weren't they?
The only thing worth caring about now that you know that is if they do something interesting with it.
Otherwise not worth.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.This isn't even about the OVA for me. This is solely about Minus making Goku a Superman rip-off.
This song needs more love.I mean, in the first panel of Dragon Ball Minus we see Bardock breaking an alien's neck.
Like. Just, to go to the interview that led to Minus.
Yes, Bardock certainly was born from the anime.
However, I don’t remember the particulars of how it went at that time.
As for his design, I think I probably just gave some editorial supervision to what was suggested to me by [people from] the anime side of things.
I don’t recall a lot about the exact contents of the anime, but I do remember it being quite well done. So I used that setting in the main story, as well.
The Saiyans [as a whole] appear warlike, but what sort of personality does Bardock have?
Of course, Bardock is a Saiyan, too, so he is warlike, but compared to other Saiyans, who are cold-hearted and of simple thoughts, he also happens to possess calm judgment and a small measure of humanity.
Because of his actions of “saving his companions“, which is rare for a Saiyan, he is greatly adored among a portion of the low-class warriors.
Bardock was a lot of things in the OG special, but I'm pretty sure some of that was there?
The quartet of Bardock, Gine, Raditz, and Kakarrot make up Bardock’s family, such as it is, but all four of them were never together.
Also, I think that Bardock himself might have had siblings, but perhaps even Bardock himself doesn’t really know, and at any rate, he probably has no interest in it, either.
Saiyans don’t have much of a concept of “family”.
The idea that Minus makes Bardock this loving caring dad is. Kinda ridiculous.
His idea of "saving" Goku is sending him to be an infiltrator baby, which Gine says is dangerous. And then leaving him on some backwater that nobody really gives a shit about.
And it's not like Bardock told Kakarot not to kill everyone on the planet so they could sell it.
Pretty sure, and I only saw some of the old Superman movies, that Superman's more. Messianic. Than that.
There's a Superman parallel, sure, but like a cracked and distorted one. A dark mirror reflection. Like an evil universe or, whatever.
And I'm sick of hearing that Goku "rejects" his Saiyan heritage because it's bullshit.
"I'm a Saiyan from Earth" is Goku's definitive line on the subject.
In a way, there's a question of, between Goku, Gohan and Vegeta, who is truly the most "alien" and who is the most "human". For all that Goku and Vegeta are full blooded Saiyans, they lost Planet Vegeta really young, and Goku's been there all his life.
Vegeta never really had a home of any kind, except maybe with the PTO in general.
He's become more accepting of the idea...
He's so nice to Veggie too.

Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.Goku spent the first 20 or so years of his life thinking he was an Earthling. A weird Earthling, sure, but so's Tien and Krillin and whatever the fuck Chiaotzu is.
Gohan's known he was part alien since he was 4.
Goku lived by himself, but so does Roshi, being a hermit doesn't mean you aren't from a society or a culture.
Goku might not be Earthling to the bone, but Earth has shaped who he is more than Vegeta ever did.
He answers to Kakarot when Vegeta screams it at him, (probably because correcting him is a waste of time) but he'll always introduce himself as Son Goku.
He only corrected him when they first met and were on opposing mets.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.Hey, are the Pendulum Room Saiyans canon at all? I know they're anime exclusive, but they are named by the Daizenshuu.
Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.The Tuffles existing is apparently canon, and them having invented scouters, and they and them creating scouters were first mentioned in that same chunk of Saiyan Saga filler, so.
Oh, except when Freeza and the Ginyus and Dodoria and all them show up in the trailer they seem to have scouters already??
So that's weird.
Super went out of its way at a few points to mention even Universe 7's Saiyans came from Salad before they conquered Plant and made it Vegeta.
You mean prior to Raditz showing up, because after that the Superman similarities were always there.
Right, Bardock and Gine only cared that Goku would be safe from Freeza. They didn't care what he did to the people of Earth.
