Imma need to know the culture and common belief back before Death Battle's original Goku vs Superman. I know I've said this before in a previous thread, but I just need to know the perceptional difference between how Superman v Goku was viewed. Ever since Death Battle's video, it's a widely common perception that Superman beats Goku.

But I'm talking to as to why before db's original SvG, why did people perceive Goku beating Superman? Is it because of Goku's media is more accessible to the general public? While Superman's more "super" feats were locked behind the comics, which during pre-2010s, and early 2010s, most people aren't into?
