I wouldn't mind more Broly. I just want him to be Movie 8 Broly who can manage sentences that are not just "KAKAROT!!"
Man, I love the internet. I never got the name "Vegito" at all until I got on the internet and found that it's supposed to be based on Kakarotto. Also love how Fat Buu says "Super...Saiya-jin?"
Does anyone else do that? Say Super Saiyan 1, 2 and 3 but still abbreviate as SSJ 1, 2 and 3? I know I do even thougH i never say Saiya-jin.
I'm alternating.
Right now, I say Krillin and Tenshihan.
I'm just a waffler.
Broly is pretty ridiculous, but anyone who thinks surrender is another word for Coffin is alright with me for some reason.
Plus, if he had more personality beyond ridiculous berserker….well, Goku and company would be dead, because then he could actually strategize.
So from an in-story perspective, thank god Broly is a mindless berserker.
Note that this is my thing, and I fully understand that it doesn't excuse him to others.
One Strip! One Strip!I use the Funi names too unless I'm posting on the Kanzenshuu forums in which case I kinda switch about so as not to offend people or come off as a Dub Dumbass.
I always use Funi attack names too except for Destructo Disk. "LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME"
I also liked Omega Shenron. He and Broly are cut from the same cloth ie. you like them just because of their phenomenal cosmic power. At least that's my view of the matter.
I still love that Big Bad Beefy Broly is Lil' Edward.
Fair enough.
Though I've learned that there are some who are not fans of the Concept behind Omega-Shenron (and the evil Dragon-ball Dragons as a whole).
One Strip! One Strip!On Chi Chi: the thing that always bugged me was how antagonistic she was towards Goku's fighting, Gohan's training, and the like. Under ordinary circumstances, I would totally be on her side; frankly, a child Gohan's age has no business fighting cosmic horrors and evil space armies, but this is what gets me: she knew what she was getting into when she married Goku.
When Chi Chi was a little girl, she basically declared that Goku was going to marry her and that was that. Then they grew up and that happened, and much of the things that set her off boil down to, "Goku isn't the man she wanted to marry. Instead, he is Goku." Goku being Goku is what upsets her so much, and it's not like he changed after they got married or anything; he's the same damn kid he was when they met.
This is my problem with Chi Chi. She sprang marriage on Goku when he was a little kid and thought marriage was a food, then complained when her violent wilderness-raised manchild didn't turn into a Prince in Shining Armor and was, instead, a violent wilderness-raised manchild. The bed she's in sucks, but she made it herself.
EDIT: I like the idea of Broly more than the actual story. Same for the Shadow Dragons. Great in concept.

And they don't have to get any worse than that.
If anything, they should be better. Battle of Gods has a horrible plot and fighting, but it's better than a lot of the movies due to the new characters and most of the character interactions/gags.
Also, sadly, I once again got had something pull me away from my computer and I've got other stuff happening today and tomorrow so I don't know if I'm going to get my first instalment done soon. Normally jack all is happening with me, so this is all really taking me by surprise >.>

Again, Tell me why Battle of the gods fights are terrible.
I like Bills vs. Goku last bout for instance, just for the visuals alone and actually having enough of a budget to show their punches and not just blurr them like most of the other fights in the series did.
Watch SymphogearBills vs. Goku, to me, felt inconsistent after he unlocked SSG.
Long live Cinematech. FC:0259-0435-4987I've already made it clear why I'm not crazy about Bo TG. One character just renders the entire series fucking pointless.

Obviously Trunks would be the hot shot young rookie who plays by his own rules to do what he can for justice but King Vegeta is too stuck in his ways, too tired and beaten down by the system. He knows they can't ever get Chill because he's bought off everyone from the meter maid to the Commissioner.
But Trunks won't stand for that.
Vegeta: YOU CAN'T GO CHOPPING UP ANYBODY YOU DAMN PLEASE! THERE ARE RULES AND REGULATIONS!
It helps that Chris Sabat's ludicrous King Vegeta voice is perfect for "old stuffy bastard."
Like Saiga said, Battle of the Gods had fun gags, amusing characterwork, awful plot, terrible fights.
Vegeta is able to hold his own in a battle with Bills - who had previously established himself by curbstomping Super Saiyan 3 Goku - so apparently Vegeta is now more powerful than Super Saiyan 3. Super Saiyan God is kind of silly, but I could have been fine with it if it weren't for the universe bending around Goku's whininess.
- SSG GOKU: Man, being awesome and powerful sucks. I want to be this powerful WITHOUT people's help!
- BILLS: Congratulations, Goku. You suddenly are, for no goddamn reason.
- REGULAR GOKU: Woot! My power level bends to my complaints!
- BILLS: I'm still more powerful than you, but at least you're up to the level Vegeta was at when he fought me. You still suck, though, so I'm going to kill the planet.
- SSG GOKU: Suddenly, I'm God again!
- BILLS: Awesome! Well, I'm bored. I'm not going to kill your planet. Bye!
For as much as people - including me - complain that Dragon Ball Z stopped being about fighting and just became about arbitrary power-ups, Battle of the Gods features what is by far the most arbitrary and stupid power-up in the entire history of the franchise: Goku naturally becoming as powerful as Super Saiyan God for literally no reason other than because having people help him reach Super Saiyan God made him feel sad. Seriously. It's worse than Gotenks becoming Super Saiyan 3 because he saw Goku do it and just decided he should be able to do that too.
Despite this, it is a very enjoyable film with fantastic characterization, a genuinely likable antagonist who doesn't play the Villain Card too hard, and great comedic interactions with its cast.

When I watched it, that's not how it came across.
Apparently unlocking SSG bolsters a Saiyan's natural power level by a substantial amount (akin to some percentage of the unlocked SSG power level) after the limit wears off, hence why Goku was able to take on Bills until Bills started using 70% of his power. Then the desperation of all of Goku's friends and family surged into him and pushed SSG to its limits again and allowed him to block Bills' big-ass fireball.

Long live Cinematech. FC:0259-0435-4987I swear though, if the Game developers give Turn Broly into a LSSJ God, I swear......
I will give them all my money.

Watch SymphogearIt would be hard to justify Broly becoming SSG, simply because of the requirements of it. I would settle for LSSJ4 Broly.
- FANS: But SSJ4 isn't canon!
- DEVELOPERS: Neither is Broly!
- FANS: Fair.

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.I've been a big Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z fan for a long time now, ever since I was a kid back in the early 2000's. But one thing I didn't like about DBZ was how long it took for certain plot threads to either start or end, mainly because of all the Filler that was thrown across the series. So out of curiosity, I just want to know: Is Dragon Ball Z Kai worth checking out? Because I do like the idea of a revision of the series that cuts out entire episodes of filler {Even if certain filler scenes are intact, which I'm okay with}, but I've also heard that Kai is a bit of a Base Breaker amongst the fanbase, for reasons I'm unsure of.

I never got it, to be honest.
