What's the Japanese word for the genre that the Dbz movies are in? It comes out to basically be akin to 'popcorn flick', where it's got a peaceful opening arc, the villains show up they kick ass, then the good guys somehow win, the end. It's got a specific word for it and almost all of Tori's Non Serial Movies are it.
Not really a lord of anything

No, that's just direct to video specials usually bundled with a volume.
There is a specific word for the style of plot Toei movies go, it's come up on TFS streams before when talking about the movies and the specific lack of characterization and such in them.
The villains are flat and the heroes are just tropes of their former selves because that's the genre, the whole thing is just going through the motions to get to the action drama and victory on the big screen cause that's only thing the movie was made for.
DBZ, Precure, One Piece, Detective Conan and like 99% of all other anime or Toku movies based on a series follow it.

Are you talking about Shōnen Demographic?
Not as angry as the name would suggest.
The Image Song of tyrants everywhere.
Oh God! Natural light!

Well, that was entertaining.
The placement of 19 and 20 (barring the missed opportunity for a pun) is pretty good as well.
One Strip! One Strip!
Court Dragon
Villain #17
's placement is extremely begrudged.
Jesus. Kaiser, please, take a breath.
I dunno whether I'm looking forward to Broly Abridged or not now.
Sounds like he's actually in pain there.

Pretty sure he's acting.
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?
Fantastic.
That was great.
Although he is still too damn high on the list even for his 'effect on the audience' crap.
...wait, 2 out of 3? So then he likes one of them.
I'M MR. MEESEEKS, LOOK AT ME!
"Two thirds of his films are utter garbage" was what he said specifically.
That's not saying he "likes" the remaining film.
More like "hates less".

He didn't say like, it was more 1 out of the 3 wasn't absolute trash.
I wanted to say it's the first one but his reaction to abridging it makes me hesitate.... could he actually think Bio-Broly wasn't trash? ![[lol]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lol2v12_4863.png "[lol]"){kind=small}
I've seen people like Bio-Broly for reasons that have nothing to do with Broly.
Everything that isn't Broly in Bio-Broly is pretty good.

I couldn't give less of a shit about Broly, but I definitely liked Bio-Broly for everything else about it.
The villain of that was basically Broly-In-Name-Only anyway. It's an acid blob monster that was spends about two minutes as a clone of Broly, because the name Broly puts butts in seats apparently.

Weird, because I remember you saying you liked him.
So is Bio Broly actually worth seeing?

It's worth it for Android 18 and Mr. Satan, but the rest is eh.
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?
No, unless you just like seeing Toei's formula put to bed for a bit.

It's funny how they already did this matchup in Death Battle.
