I wouldn't say hating Broly makes you cynical, it just means you appreciate the good things about DB and not the bad ones... :P

A lot of angry Youtube reviews create the illusion that a lot of viewers hate these two characters. It's far from a proper head count, but I am almost certain that I could make a second paragraph just posting links from reddit and Youtube from disgruntled viewers.

But I doubt it would be hard to ask on any given Super forum how much people hate Kale and Kefla. I should have said "a large vocal section of the fanbase seem to dislike them." But that doesn't roll off the tongue very well.

[up][up] I appreciate Broly for what he is.

A popcorn movie villain. Just sit back, grab some snacks & watch the fireworks. Nothing else is to be expected from him.

Not his fault he became really popular.

[up] Thats why I said their controversial. There is a lot of hate but I've also seen some praise & ya know what they say about vocal minority.

Youtube. That is all.

Also I've said this before but most people don't truly hate Broly as much as they say. They hate that he's popular.

Especially since a lot of the complaints I've seen boil down too "Their trying to shove women in our faces."

I mean there are legitimate ways to criticize them but a lot of people just go for the typical misogynistic response & have posts that look like their written by children.

I don't hate Broly just because he's popular (though the amount of attention he gets doesn't improve him in my eyes). The creator of Broly is also a massive hindrance to my appreciation for Broly because some comments he's made just make him look like a whiny ass.

But my core problem with Broly is that he's nothing except "he's strong" and his backstory is idiotic, he is the very incarnation of Saiyawank, and he doesn't kill a damn thing on screen except Paragus from my memory - and at one point he fights *Videl*

Why does he need to kill someone?

No move-villain has done that.

Eh, true, but I don't think a movie villain able to tangle with Adult Gohan ever gives a lariat to Videl either. Though that should probably count as a criticism of the Buu arc more than Broly for introducing such a manifestly useless character.

Well that sounds more like typical worfing.

Even if she was strong she would have still gotten her ass kicked by virtue of not being the main character. It happens to everyone.

For those who are interested in Fighter Z but not following the thread, I posted a little exercise for funsies:

This is a fun exercise I saw on another forum: assume the current roster + Android 21 is the base game, what would your 8 DLC picks be? List them in order of most to least wanted (1-8) and I'll tally them up and see what the overall popularity is. 1st picks get 8 votes, 2nd 7 etc.

Uh, they seem to have their bases pretty well covered already. I guess I'd add Master Roshi. Maybe Mr. Satan as a Lethal Joke Character. Maybe Cooler or Janemba. Or Emperor Pilaf, but only if he's top-tier.

Ooh, ooh, they should add the guy who's the announcer at every single world tournament.

You can do line breaks with a \\ after each line

@Red - do you want to put those in order for the point scoring or are you just spitballing?
