Vegeta in Super is what Goku in super should have Been **spoilers**

[mochi]

watching Kai the final chapters side by side with Super has made for an interesting comparison

 

in classic Z Goku was oddly hyperfocused and knew what he was doing even though outside of serious situations he tended to be a comically stupid hillbilly with the brunt of the jokes being that he was such a moron nobody could really stand him, not even his own wife, he excelled at battle and Vegeta even said as such in the last ep of Kai, while Vegeta was whiny and belived things should just go his way when he wanted them to and they never did (that said he still managed to have a higher headcount than any other character)

whereas in Super Goku is whiny and behaves like a bratty 3 year old who thinks he should get what he wants when he wants it and doesn't accept it when people tell him he can't, while Vegeta is very focused, know's what's right and wrong, steps in to help when others are in danger, and puts the lives of the people he cares about in front of his own, but outside of battle he serves no purpose outside of being a comic relief character who's forced to suck binkies and dance so the viewers can laugh at him

 

secondarily in Z Vegeta was very flippant and nasty to his family, while Goku was overall decent to his (except that time he almost killed Chichi)

while in Super Vegeta absolutely adores his family and Goku seems to go to great lengths to avoid his (there's even a moment where he implies to Vegeta that he deliberately avoided being present for either of his son's births and doesn't know their exact ages)
