Sending him off to maybe die as opposed to staying and definitely dying isn't quite what I'd call a nesting instinct.
Sorta the opposite, really.
Also, I didn't think it was just Man of Steel?
I seem to remember the Reeves movies doing it too. Could be wrong.
Also, for context, the trailer with subs.

Yeah, I know.
They're also standing next to each other, but in the trailer, in a recreation of that scene, Raditz is nowhere to be seen.
Guys what if Raditz is non-canon now.
Think about it.
Think about how the series would make no fucking sense.
Did Piccolo just special beam cannon Goku for no reason?
I found the video I was looking for...
But apparently Kakkarot does not compliment Veggie for the reasons I thought.
He looks perfectly fine with it though.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.I mean, there's also the fact that in the Saiyan Saga, Vegeta was an evil bastard even by Saiyan standards.
Raditz kept trying to give Goku opportunities to join them, the moment Nappa hears Raditz died he wants to use the Dragon Balls to bring him back at first, he keeps calling Kakarot a traitor, and seems legitimately upset by that betrayal, and when Vegeta kills him Nappa is sincerely shocked and horified.
Bardock might have been rare among Saiyans for saving his comrades, but there's still a difference between not saving them and killing them while they're down.
If Gine and Tarble are at one far tail end of the bell curve, and if Bardock is on their slope of it, then Vegeta was on the other side entirely.

The fact that Nappa actually wanted to resurrect Raditz, who was literally as strong as a Saibaman, says something to me.
And for whatever he's worth, Raditz did try to get his baby brother to prove himself worthy of joining them. Gave Goku plenty of opportunities and second chances to correct his "mistake" on Earth.
Like, yeah, the Saiyans were murderous genocidal planet thieves. But there was seemingly a certain level of Saiyan kinship.
Except for Vegeta, who could not have cared less.

It's hard to understate the fact that, by all accounts, when we first meet him, Vegeta is the absolute single worst, most evil Saiyan of all the Saiyans we meet in the manga.
And somehow he ends up the one who gets to live and have a hot rich wife and two kids.
On the bright side, Nappa and Raditz didn't have to do this:
Karma in Dragon Ball is a strange thing.
...Although, to be completely fair, it was a stroke of luck and rushed wording that brought Vegeta back to life on Namek and then sent him to Earth. I don't think King Kai intended it.
...Hold up. Didn't Frieza kill a few of his own men? Wouldn't they have been brought back and then subsequently sent to Earth?
Can... can we get an "Orlen's Adventures on Earth" spin-off?
This song needs more love....I looked it up, and I'm so disappointed to find out that Orlen is an anime-only character.
In the manga, Appule is the one who finds the village Vegeta destroyed, and does not get killed by Freeza. Instead Vegeta kills him.
...Also, in this translation Freeza calls him "Mr. Appule" and tells him to call the Ginyu force to come and bring scooters.
I'm surprised Freeza knows Appule's name and respects him enough to call him "Mr."
Like, I guess Freeza is always polite, but.
Huh. I'm trying to go through the manga and I cannot find Freeza killing any of his own goons on Namek.
He threatens it a bunch, sure, but never actually does it on panel.
Honestly, I'm disapointed in Toei. They decided they wanted to have Orlen, it's their responsibility to feed him and water him and take him out for walks and give him a hundred thousand hours of filler.

And thus Vegeta invented whatever the opposite of a Death Glare is. XD
