Just started watching Dragon Ball Super for the first time, and Goku would 100% do this.

[–] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 30 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Goku would bring the ring to Mordor on foot, take the whole season, then straight away give it to Sauron. They will fight, Goku would lose, then Sauron would kill Krilin and Goku would defeat Sauron.

The end.

You forgot about piccolo getting his left arm chopped off

you forgot two of the times krillin died on the way to mordor

he also married shelob at some point.

And then yamcha came back for some reason

Also brought Gohan for that spicy child-endangerment

To be fair, throughout the dragon ball franchise, they do try and stress that while Goku has morals, he is not a hero - his main goal is just to fight the strongest beings he can find, and win.

If Cell and Frieza weren't direct threats to his family, Goku would 100% have let them get stronger so he had more sparring partners.

Hell, in one of the series (can't remember if it was non-cannon GT or not) he straight up trains Uub, Buu's non-evil reincarnation.

Last episode of DBZ, and recurring in GT

[–] DarkSirrush@piefed.ca 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

That explains why I couldn't remember if Uub was cannon or not.

Sucks that GT isnt cannon though, I liked the half monkey form, to me its way cooler than 'hair turned blue/pink'

It appears in Daima which I think is cannon

[–] QueenHawlSera@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Daima is not canon as it directly contradicts super.

[–] Wataba@sh.itjust.works 6 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Toriyama rewrites the canon as he pleases.

“I’ve altered the cannon, pray I do not alter it any further”

He can't he's dead

[–] FatVegan@leminal.space 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I think that's the best part about dbz and dbz discussions. Oh, you think that because you assume goku is smart and a hero. He is really good at fighting. He's the best at it, no one has fought more uphill battles than him. He knows his shit when it comes to fighting. Everything else? Don't expect anything from that guy

[–] DarkSirrush@piefed.ca 2 points 5 days ago

The fact that he managed to have kids, even with Chi-Chi's guidance, is a bloody miracle.

Honestly i suspect it was a 'Goku was told to lay there and not move until given permission' situation more than anything else.

Piccolo: "Krillin died 4 separate times because of this plan!"

Krillin: "Each one more painful than the last, I might add!"

Vegeta laughing his ass off: "That was the best part!"

[–] Unboxious@ani.social 20 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Honestly better without the second panel. No need to explain the joke.

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 14 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I agree somewhat. Second panel showing Gandalf's expression but no text.

Also now we have to cancel Gandalf, I expected better from an angel tbh

Could work with a quote from the script. Something like: "300 lives of men I have walked this earth, only now have I heard the stupidest thing ever."
