I think this speaks to what Super has been about lately. And it's a sad truth of the state of DB. Merchandising. Broly was a very popular villain among casual fans due to his brutality and savagery, so Toriyama is bringing him back. However, like with Frieza in the Resurrection F arc/movie, it's a bad move. Super is far too watered down to make a character like Broly truly work.


Super did interesting things with an interesting villain, Freeza. Broly isn't even a tenth as charismatic.

Here’s the interesting thing all you Broly haters seem to be forgetting.

The guy hasn’t had a movie in 25 years. It’s literally been over 2 decades since he’s been a major character in anything.

So stop acting like DB majorly puts him in everything when he all is these days is just another fanservice character like Bardock or Bojack’s female minion.

Plus it should always be stated that Broly is gonna get a heavy reimagining so he might end up being a completely different character.

Also honestly I’m kind of disturbed by the rather elitist vibe going on here. So some people like Broly, so what? Guys a decent popcorn villain like all the rest of the old DBZ movie villains.

The only reason Super still exists is because of the unthinking fans who are SUPER easy to satisfy, no matter how many times it'd have stumbled and fall off the cliff, the brainiacs of the fanbase will be waiting on the bottom to catch it, just so they can be together at the bottom.


This bit presumes that all of DragonBall prior to Super had quality writing, characterizations, & animation.

............Ummmm Bardock is nowhere near as hyped up as Brolly nor is Zangya (who unlike the other 2 hasn't been featured all that regularly in various media.

Hell she wasn't even playable in Budokai 3 while those two were.

Please, don't be another one of those people accusing DB/Z for what it wasn't meant to be just so you can defend Super for what it isn't, because it certainly isn't a good DBZ continuation. And before you say that Z wasn't a good continuation of the original, go check its last episodes and compare it to Z's 1st. Not that it's important because people hoped for a Z-like continuation and the creators clearly wanted to do that very thing too.

I've always been fine with Broly, but for those who aren't...c'mon, this is a whole new Broly written by Toriyama. Give him a chance.

Please don't be one of those DragonBall Z fans who engage in hyperbole and other nonsense to make Super out to be much worse than it really is..oh wait too late.

Neither was GT and depending on who you ask part 2/Z what's your point?

Why would I do this when I don't hate Z and when I'm not someone whose grasping on straws to justify his contempt of Super (which I also don't hate) which yes has it's flaws.....just like Z and Part 1?
