Even in terms of combat he's always been average, by Shonen standards. Ranma and Jojo characters have far more variety and imagination.
For example, Goku gets both arms and legs broken, and then blasted with a continent busting ki attack, and his genius move is to use a hidden ability called the "Air dance" that he learned from watching Tien in their fight. Essentially flight.
Which is pretty basic. His real genius is a taskmaster like ability to copy or counter any move he sees once, but this is high end MA 101 tier, ANY martial artist worth their salt can do that much.
Goku wasn't an idiot prior to Super. As a kid he was ignorant but not stupid, but that's because he had grown up alone in the mountains with his adoptive grandfather. But the moment he became an adult this wasn't a thing anymore.

A great example of this is the Kamehameha. It's supposed to take fifty years to master it. But Goku learned it instantly.

I'd argue it started around the Buu saga, he actually had moments of relatable parental concern and insights in Radditz, Saiyan, and Cell sagas.

No. His interaction with Vegeta and Shin, his plan to stall Majin Buu after having Trunks go pick the Dragon Radar as a contingency plan for all the future casualties, and him manipulating/nudging Buu into killing Babadi, all pointed to him having normal intelligence.
Good points. 👆
Super was the lobotomy then.

Even in super he was deemed as a fighting genius.

Hey Astner, did you watch all of it?
What did you think of that gestalt robot who tracked using sonar? I argued this proved Dragon Ball characters must be sub speed of sound, and got called out as trolling.
The show was pretty clear about it though, sonar tracking. Meaning sound. Sound travels slower than light.
Therefore Dragon Ball characters must be slower then light.

He was faster than Dypso who is FTL. You are just nitpicking.
