Goku is poisonous?

I tried to post this twice on reddit

I remember watching a video that detailed how Toriyama felt about the anime's portrayal of Goku. There was something he said like "the anime portrays him as a superhero, they missed the poisonousness" I guess... that comes with the character's personality to fight strong opponents?

That could be a reason why some viewers, myself included finding Goku's character to be bad in a way since the people he cares about are always in danger. The character is based on Sun Wukong so in a way it does make sense. I just need that video explained to me just in case I got something wrong.

The Dragon Ball Anime was good (for its time). The Dragon Ball Z Anime wasn't.

DB/Z anime has the same pattern as the OP anime. Part 1 was adapted fairly well beyond several recognizable plot holes and some amount of dragging, Part 2 was bogged down by unnecessary filler material that made the chapter to episode ratio nearly 1:1. OP definitely needs a Kai version when it finishes, otherwise the anime is unwatchable.
