Re: Lack of character development

I felt this way about Goku from Dragon Ball/Dragon Ball Z tbh. I know most of the fandom disagrees with me, and feel that he's good as a static character - and I get that, because I personally liked his personality a lot in DB and the Saiyan Saga, and I don't think static characters are automatically bad myself. But all the shit and the nature of the storylines he went through (not to mention the timescale - something like 20 years pass over the course of DB and DBZ) and the fact that he never really is shown thinking or talking about it, made his personality staying static just feel really weird and unnatural and unbelievable.

It got to the point in the last saga where I started idly headcanoning that he was actually faking it because he thought that's what everyone expected of him and that he wasn't allowed to change or become any different because he was supposed to be Guy Who Saves World And Is Totes Cool With That And Doesn't Need Anything and to stay that way forever in order to keep on being able to save everyone. And thinking back on it, I kinda wish this headcanon was canon.

Huh. Consider me on board with your headcanon - I think that would actually be an interesting conflict for him.
I think Goku's static personality is part of the reason I was never crazy about him as a character myself.
