Vegeta is what makes the show interesting. If he died at the end of the Saiyan Saga he wouldn't have been very interesting and the show would have suffered immensely. His long term change from villain to uneasy alliance to jealous rival to hero was over such a long stretch it felt earned.

i know a guy who insists goku was a good father just because he loved his family
all the examples of him being a bad father dont count because he loves his family

he also thinks chichi is a bad mom because she made gohan study when he didnt want to
this is the opinion of a grown ass man O_o
He probably also hates skyler for trying to stop walt from cooking meth and hates rita for distracting dexter from killing people, etc. Just sounds like he's one of those people.

The thing is, has he ever even apologized or paid his debt to society for the crimes and atrocities he's committed?

I think holding off Majin buu so goku could charge the spirit bomb was pretty good to pay off his debt. Also final explosion even though it failed it was still self sacrifice.

Also didn't he save goku from android 19? Can't remember

none of that shit ever made sense. it was pure conjecture on their part. what were they even basing it on? welp, goku became super saiyan and he's nice, so i guess only nice saiyans can become super saiyans a-hyuck! it was never part of the original legend they'd heard about on namek.

I think part of the theme of Dragon Ball Z/Super is that legends can always be defied if you train hard enough.

Goku is a shitty husband and father. In fact he's a shitty all around individual.

Him being a shitty individual was stated by Toriyama to be intentional. Super was his way of correcting what the anime team falsely branded Goku into. Which Toriyama wanted him to NOT be a hero.

In my opinion, even before Super and despite the animes attempted branding he's always not been a hero. As a kid I never questioned it, but in retrospect his actions in DragonBall Z are as selfish and non hero like as shit IMO. Goku happily and knowingly did the same shit he does in Super. If it meant he could have fun, he really didn't care about the consequences to everyone else.
why can he ride the Nimbus again?

It was mentioned earlier, but he fought against Moro to protect the Namekians, and specifically said it was to make up for what he did to them in the past.

Anyway, Vegeta's character development is the very few consistently good things about Super.

Vegeta has been a better character than Goku since the Frieza saga. He scratched and clawed to try and maintain his evil ways, but ultimately he relented to being a good guy.

I kind of feel that Gohans character was better in GT than in Super. Yeah, he was a nerd, but it made sense as there were less reasons to fight; and he was always a nerd in the show, even when he was a child he wanted to become an Orthopedist.

Sadly, Gokus character got much worse in Super. Again, I liked him better in GT. GT, yeah he was more playful, but he wasn't an outright moron. Yeah, some parts of the show were worse than Super, but other parts were far better.

Not for the reasons you think.....

Pure heart =/= not selfish or great person.

Pure heart just speaks more to being an open book to one's motives. Gokus actions literally are not those of a hero. The Young Justice series actually put a spin on the "pure hearted" misconception as well with a twist of one of its villains.

Even pretending to fall on thinking it meant he has values of a good person, his actions speak far louder. His actions show he values his own fun over the innocent lives of people, universes, and his own family and friends. He is willing to happily get them killed so long as he can have fun fighting. The importance of their well being is an afterthought to his fun.

Intentions may be pure in the sense he's not hiding his motives, however its definitely not actions of a good person who isn't selfish.

Bad writing. Krillin in the original DB couldn't ride nimbus (except in a filler scene). Honestly Goku and Krillin's ability to ride it should be switched.

He showed quite a bit of remorse for his crimes against the Namekians during the Moro arc in the manga.

Ok, then has he ever repaid his debt to society for all the people he killed and the city he destroyed?
I would imagine that saving the world multiple times would count.

Also, isn't Vegeta the one who wished everyone back that Buu killed?

Nope. It ended with the Tournament of Power's conclusion. After that, we had the new Broly movie, the manga continuing on on with two arcs, and the new "Super Hero" movie coming out in April in Japan.

It's only in the manga right now. It's basically Vegeta's version of Ultra Instinct, but based more on power than defense/agility.

It has some interesting potential. The transformation (spoiler for what it does) gives a huge power boost, but additional, taking damage in this form also increases its power. So it has a weird double edged sword effect, as taking damage makes Vegeta even more powerful, but it also takes him closer to defeat.

not really.
ultra ego wasn't gimping his speed like ascended saiyan. it was simpy ultra instinct's counterpart, but from the opposite concept.
if ultra instinct was about defensive reflex, then ultra ego is about offensive agility. calm vs bloodlust.

So almost inspired by or bringing back the zenkai boost effect of "taking more hits makes you more powerful" up to a point?

More a matter of tapping into the Saiyans instinctual bloodlust in battle. The more he gets hurt, the more he wants to fight, and the harder it is to beat him.

That's actually really interesting, the goku ultra being defensive and the vegeta one being offensive. Is that reflective of their characters and/or fighting styles?

Personalities maybe. Goku is a protector and he wants to see an opponents full fighting ability. Being defensive allows that latter point. Vegeta don't give a fuck he just wants to wreck an opponent and prove he's better
