when Goku turned into a Super Saiyan for the first time, he was a bit of a dick. i'm glad he got over that.

(Well, Goku turned SSJ right after Frieza killed Krillin. I’d be a dick too if some freak killed my best friend. As well as millions of people. Just Sayian. xD)
Turning into “a dick” is why SSJ was dramatic. Whenever Goku had flown into a rage before, he had been raging and shouting. Barring Nappa, who he so outclassed, whenever he flew into a rage Goku had his ass kicked (Tao Pai Pai, Tambourine, Piccolo Daimao). Part of his training with Kami was to learn to calm his heart. And he did.
But as he explains to Freeza, “A legendary warrior, possessed of a serene heart, awakened through intense anger. I am the Super Saiyan, Son Goku!” (source, DBZKai Blu-ray, subtitles for episode 48)
Yep. That and I just really loved seeing him so … thoroughly filled with rage but so eerily still. I mean, when he tells Gohan to gtfo “while he still has a sliver of reason left,” I GET SHIVERS EVERY TIME. erry time, y’all.
