Except there are characters like Buu, Freeza and Cell that can survive in a vacuum and blow up planets without breaking a sweat.Naeras said:

but yea its not stopping them from doing outer insanely overpowered things
While it never happened, one of the most important plotlines of DBZ was various villainous characters attempting to collect the titular Dragonballs to gain immortality. What would be to stop the characters of DBZ doing the same in this hypothetical and becoming literally unkillable?
I dunno... I don't really think you can even compare them.
Dragonball is a story about a seemingly gifted child's life... And a powerfully charming adventure after the testicles of a dragon that grants wishes. Like, it really goes to town on showing his development as a person, and how he begins to understand society, and how he increases in strength to overcome evil. Goku is the absolute idol of goodness in man... Or... Saiyan... But you don't really know that yet. Sure Dragon Ball Z sort of dropped the ball in the excellent storytelling, character development, and just the general experience in favour of epic, and over done fight scenes. And don't get me wrong, those fight scenes are a very strong selling point, but meh.
Dragonball GT tried to pick up where Dragonball left off, as it severely toned down the action, only to have very few episodes with the epic fight scenes in it, but by then it was far too unpopular, and out of place. People had gotten used to the DBZ formula, and the guys who watched the original dragonball had all grown up and generally didn't care, and therefore didn't really watch it.
40k is literally just epic battle after epic battle. Every part of it is epic. From the scale, the politics, the moralities, everything. It's a Tolkien spec universe in every sense of the phrase.
That's why you can't compare them, Dragonball is essentially about one man and his lineage. How he grows up, has a family, saves the world a few times etc. 40k is about entire freaking races, battling it out for... Erm... Well, it varies... But essentially it's the archetypal good vs. Evil with varying shades of grey thrown in. But you get the idea.

too much time on my hand I knowSonicron said:
the dragons cannot kill anyone moral good or more powerful then there creator and im sure you know how weak they are.
So yea its a rule in place so they have a story
There was this one bad guy in DBZ who once turned an entire city's denizens into candy.
That was pretty rad.
That was pretty rad.
I didn't mean morally good. I meant that DBZ just mindlessly throws in the ability to make bigger explosions without worrying if this makes the world more interesting to observe as an audience. It makes the characters more powerful at the expense of story. 40K may be over the top, but it contains the kind of limits required to have a story worth telling.SckizoBoy said:
