Alright, how about the "SUPERMAN = GOD" argument? |

And it's pretty clear Superman is OP as hell. There's a specific reason why Goku was constantly downplayed and made to seem weaker in light of the current threat. That was so he could still play up the underdog theme he had since the original Dragonball. In the eyes of the fans, Goku was the ultimate lifeform, but in the eyes of Akira Toriyama, Goku was the underdog who needed to struggle and overcome the odds to win in the end. Superman, however, was never presented as such. DC knew Superman could sneeze and wipeout a solar system, and played things as such. Superman has always been the strongest character. Not the Hulk, not the Sentry, not even Goku can hold a candle to him. That's why people face palm at attempts to make him relatable to the viewer.

Oh, and I'm watching SpeedRacerFlubber's latest video. It's incredibly juvenile, but I find it hilarious. |

The talk about Death Battle reminded me there's a bunch I haven't watched yet (it was Supes vs. Goku that made me aware of it). Just went and watched Starscream vs. Rainbow Dash... *sigh* Will be making my way backwards from there tomorrow.

Quite possibly the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen in my life.
