That may be what Risu intended at the time, but that's now how people have re-purposed it since.

Less of these, and
more of these.
It's a minor aesthetic complaint, but it piles up. Goku in the original series conveys his facial expressions in a much more subdued way during dramatic moments; it's not as over-the-top. Obviously Toyotaro can draw Goku with a serious face during the major climactic moments, but it's the parts in-between that seem like the character is stuck with the same 3 or 4 overly cartoony stock expressions.
Pick a page of the original series at random where Goku is relaxed in a tense situation and notice how much more
subtle and
varied his facial expressions are. He can look happy and upbeat without being wide-eyed all the time, and he can look confused or scared without a gaping mouth.
Even if I think this criticism is slightly over-stated, I actually agree with it overall. I think it fits well enough with the tone of Super, but if you look at Dragon Ball as a whole, it is a bit different from where Goku was at the end of the original manga.
That being said, people who are still sharing this image are taking away more implications than what you've described. They act as if Goku acts like this in serious moments, and that it's especially severe in the manga. That is not true.

It was show at the beginning of the series that she can call jaco anytime and they are less than 1 hour distance ..so .. I won’t be surprise if bulma , Satan and somebody else show up on the head quarters of g.p ... I don’t think the fight will start until buu wakes up , unless that Moro just go for it ....
I'm sure Bulma could be worked in at some point, but I'm actually hoping for more involvement form Mr. Satan in this arc. I was hoping he would be dragged to the Galactic Patrol HQ along with Boo, but since that hasn't happened, who knows?
