If there's one thing they got correct it's the character portrayal

I mean tbh didnt Toriyama say Goku is a bad dad technically?

Also holy **** going from GvS2 to GvS 3 is such a jump from quality it’s insane.

Yeaaaaaah Modern Toriyammer isnt the best when it comes to characters. The same guy who forgets entire concepts and characters in his own series.
Hell, he forgot Dragonball Super was called Dragonball Super.
Not the most reliable source of info.

My assessment.
Explanations: Absolutely horrid just a superman wankfest.
Fight: Absolutely great, loved it.
Outcome: I expected it and am fine with it.
It doesn't matter if Goku had a chance or not but to show explicit clear cut bias by not even giving any of DBH material any time of day and completely glossing over them is very infuriating when you contrast it with how much they GLAZED Superman. It would've made fight infinitely more exciting if they hyped up Goku more instead of barely going over the material that he literally relies upon to even be in this fight instead of saying "oh yea it exists".

Dragon Ball powerscalers when they try to use WOG and not even the creator of the manga is a reliably source:

Typical for most Shonen father's tbh (either absent, dead or a villain) thanks in part to the salaryman culture in Japan. Grandpa's on the other hand are usually pretty chill.

Yea they're 0-2 when it comes to an accurate portrayal of DBH.

I fully expect Dragonball Daima to completely retcon and change the cosmology since Toriyammer is writing it.
So expect a massive shitstorm when he claims the universe is the size of a solar system or something lol

Yeaaah they kinda probably just wanted this to be "Goku vs Superman" so Heroes shit is minimal due to it not being associated with by casuals I feel like. I guess you could read the black info bars lol

If we got all of Goku's DBH feats this would've been like Gojo vs Sukuna

Ngl, when I saw Goku in a white background, I was worried we were going to get a "stand proud" moment.

Okay but to be fair Goku is still a terrible dad, not evil or a bad person, but he shouldn’t be raising kids

NAH FR THAT'S WHAT I SAID

I also really doubt casuals know 100 years worth of comics and all this little super specific quirky comic knowledge about DC cosmology and feats. Simply relegating something that should've been much more to black info bars because they wanna use allocate more time to glaze Superman is insulting.

That would’ve been funny as **** though

Honestly we could've had a cooler version of the fight if Goku actually got his SDBH stuff
Imagine how much more nut-worthy the fight would've been

Yeah for as amazing the episode was, it still should’ve been longer but I guess Galacron took up the rest of the budget and time.

I mean even with an accurate portrayal the results would remain the same regardless but I understand the frustrations (especially since at least Xeno Trunks used DBH P&A while without context GvS3 is basically anime/manga Goku Vs canon composite Superman) but honestly it doesn't detract from the fight imo since A) Pretty much everyone accepted the outcome of Superman winning (again) B) The actual fight animation was sublime! C) Personality wise both characters were given the utmost respect.
Sure from a power-scaling perspective you can criticize or even nitpick the episode (I've been gulity of that in the past) but as a fan, its just a good time and that's all that matters in the end.

DBS Goku actually beats almost every version of Superman that isn't from a comic book."Goku would beat almost any other version of Superman's ass"
No he fuсking wouldn't

Anyway, i have to actually admit that this was much better than i was expecting.
Not in terms of analysis or outcome but in the animated fight and character portrayal, they actually feel like them instead of parodies.
THIS its what Goku VS Superman 2 should had be, and personally i may actually prefer this over the original.
Also i like Wiz and Boomstick commentary at the end about versus debating and what its the point, it was based.

Movies, Animations, Games, TV Shows, a good amount of Elseworlds (depending on how you scale them to the Mainline), he gets the majority of them."Goku would beat almost any other version of Superman's ass"

Death Battle: Guts vs Dimitri (my thoughts)

The VSBW version of GvS is Goku slamming Superman until he sundips and one-shots the former
...right before Goku gets revived by Tokitoki and the Universe Tree and defeats a depowered Superman

Beats almost every version of a comic book character, except for the actual comic book source material?
That kinda sounds like an oxymoron ngl.
